1. Man dates woman who makes a game about depression
2. Man and woman break up after a few months. She cheats on him maybe
3. Manbaby gets on irc and orchestrates super fucking elaborate ass ridiculous fucking scheme to get back at her in which he alleges that she slept with men in order to receive positive reviews for games in spite of the fact that the guy she allegedly slept with never even reviewed her game
4. Pathetic ass manbaby goes further and further with it, orchestrating a “#notyourshield” scheme for people posing as female gamers (and eventually some real female gamers that fall for the hoax) to use. Like the fucking planning that went into this shit is ridiculous. Read the fucking irc logs. Dude is fucking pathetic
5. At some point Adam Baldwin disappoints countless Browncoats by reminding the world that he believes everything Fox News says and he starts tweeting about the shit until it blows up and others start to tweet about it
6. Assholes and anti-feminists run with it, acting like it’s about ethics in game journalism EVEN THOUGH they have no problem with sites that sell positive reviews for money and seem to agree across the board that game journalism sites shouldn’t do anything to piss off their advertisers (so basically these dudes don’t give a fuck about ethics in game journalism they just give a fuck about the fact that a woman may choose to fuck someone that isn’t them)
7. Backlash against #gamergate comes up, and yet SOMEHOW women are the only ones getting threats of violence for speaking up. A former Minnesota Vikings player curses out gamer gaters viscously and is left completely alone, but Felicia Day says she’s wary since gamer gate happened and they doxx the shit out of her and send her threats of violence hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
8. The pathetic manbaby that started all of this says he doesn’t regret doing it in spite of the violent threats women have received and the ones who have had to leave their homes and cancel a speech at a college because some shit threatened a mass shooting just because she was talking.
9. After all of this, after the hoax is exposed and women are the exclusive targets of the worst threats of violence, we’re supposed to believe it’s about ethics in journalism and not blatant fucking misogyny yeah okay
