You know Even if all the original claims of Gamergate were 100% true and Zoe Quinn was an abusive girlfriend who slept with five guys to get good reviews for her free game, it's still something worthy of maybe a week of conversation before everyone just moves on with their lives and forgets about it

Thats pretty much what I did. I skimmed the original post when it came out and thought "shes an rear end in a top hat, but internet relationship drama is so much fun to read through" and then immediately forgot about it. Like, I read it like most of us would read the /r/relationships thread in GBS. Then a bunch of men got together to launch a long term harassment campaign against her and various other women and to be honest, she doesn't seem that bad compared to them.

I mean go through his twitter for a little bit: https://twitter.com/ChuckTingle He really strikes me as just like, a fairly normal dude that's got a very weird-twitter sense of humor. e: https://twitter.com/ChuckTingle/status/914249190506618880 https://twitter.com/ChuckTingle/status/914263970193666048 So much for not mixing up personal and public life

Also I totally forgot if I got this article from this thread or another one but I just wanted to bring attention to this bit: https://www.buzzfeed.com/josephbernstein/heres-how-breitbart-and-milo-smuggled-white-nationalism quote:On the 27th, now co-bylined, the story was ready for upper management: Bannon and Larry Solov, Breitbart’s press-shy CEO. It was also ready, on a separate email chain, for another read and round of comments from the white nationalist Saucier, the feudalist Yarvin, the neo-Nazi Weev, and Vox Day.

The beta version of the replacement for LessWrong https://www.lesserwrong.com/ (The Reddit code they used is so awful that nobody wanted to work on it, and it turned out literally nobody there knew how to work their own site when they wanted to delete the acres of comments about Roko's basilisk.)

I haven't read all 440 pages of this thread I just want to know how to make the racist pedophile anime avatar gamers go away. I want to surf the internet in peace; they weren't infesting it like roaches 10 years ago. At worst people just posted dumb poo poo like "long cat is long." Do I have to delete all the video games to make this happen?

Oh yeah, I found out recently that a friend of a friend had the misfortune of ending up at a party with Yudkowsky, which I guess is just an inevitable outcome when you're friends with Berkeley tech workers. It wasn't too many sentences further into the conversation before the word "deprogramming" came up.

http://tracinskiletter.com/2016/10/02/a-libertarian-icons-descent-into-racist-pseudoscience/ An article on a libertarian website criticizing Stephan Molyneux. Interesting because it goes into detail about why "scientific" racism is pseudoscience, and also because of this bit: Stuart Hayashi posted:Since Freedomain Radio’s founding in 2006, its listeners have tended to be on the young side—in their teens and twenties. Despite later denials to the contrary, online videos document Molyneux telling these fans that if their parents do not support anarchy, it means that their parents do not love them and ought to be disowned completely. Suddenly the RON PAUL KILL YOUR PARENTS meme makes more sense to me...

Troll Guide,” which I hadn’t read at the time, Enoch had won our exchange by default, because he had written fewer words and maintained his ironic detachment, whereas I had committed the greatest possible faux pas: letting myself be “triggered” into displaying emotion. quote:Mike E. was sent to a series of therapists, who mentioned potential disorders, but nothing definitive. One therapist, instead of giving a diagnosis, said that Mike E. was “as vulnerable as a peeled grape.” quote:Within a few years, he started to wonder whether libertarianism was too tepid. After all, its premises pointed toward a starker conclusion: if the state was nothing but a hindrance to freedom, why not abolish the state altogether, leaving only the unfettered market? From there, he went even further. What if you couldn’t account for people’s behavior without considering their cultural background, and even their genetic makeup? “Slapped in the face by the reality of human bio-diversity,” he later wrote, “I had to come to grips with the fact that libertarianism isn’t going to work for everyone, and the people that it isn’t going to work for are going to ruin it for everyone else.” Human biodiversity: the idea that people are different, that they differ in predictable ways, and that some people—not just individuals but groups of people—might be inherently superior to others.
