    The guy in red at 43 seconds in gives it straight - "when the revolution comes I'm gonna murder you".
    He probably means it too.

    Gamer gate did attract misogynists, no question, but its initial seed was an anti-feminist backlash against feminists trying to 'change' video games and video game culture. Protip: A newcomer to a group demanding that the entire group culture and behaviour changes is only ever going to piss people off.

    It's a real shame that so many unimaginable assholes from the alt right piled in on Gamergate and turned it into a misogynist movement, the original message was lost - stop trying to insert cultural authoritarian propaganda into literally everything, whether its core audience actually wants it or not. It's still a message that needs to be sent, somehow, but Gamegate self-destructed its own credibility in a spectacular fashion.

    who were these alt righters, are there any that have Youtube channels? Im only familiar with some of the anti feminist channels like Sargon & Thunderf00t , they certainly had the moral high ground compared to con- artists like Sarkesian

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    Theres a clip of her later in the day telling what happened to her....not a mark on her. Maybe she should make a call to Dana White

    Your completely wrong. I followed Gamergate pretty closely. I even gave the Gamergaters the benefit of the doubt, but the whole thing started due to Zoe Quinn's ex posting about there relationship online, and then some people made a claim from that post that Quinn slept with a reporter from Kotaku for a favourable review. Ultimately, this was proven to be bull****. That was the inciting event for the whole thing.

    The whole thing quickly descended into a hate mob going after Quinn and other Women. Now, the gaming media didn't help themselves having a go at all gamers, as opposed to the idiots doing the harrassing, which was a spectacular own goal.

    Ultimately Gamergate, was really really ****ing stupid bull****, and that anyone involved with should hopefully feel embarrsed about. It basically boiled own to some people not being willing to share there toys.

    How do a minority turn it into a movement about misogyny? Go to r/KotakuInAction, which is the main GG hub, and show me some proof that even a minority of these people hate women. You'll be doing well if you do, because I can't think of another place on the internet with more reasonable people.

    Yup. They've raised almost 6k dollars of the 45k target already. Nice!

    It reminds me of the ralph nader movement back in the 90's.
    Impressionable college kids, just moved out of home, trying to understand politics.
    These brief craze's exist for a short time and then fizzle out.

    I doubt that, he choose to stare down someone much smaller than him and the guy stood his ground. Pure bluffer that guy in red was.

    any evidence of this or are we jumping to conclusions again?

    also few more slaps? some cowardly thug threw glitter at him, there were no slaps...listen unless you're done warping the truth to suit yourself just leave it so yeah?

    what if it wasn't glitter, what if it was acid, would you condone that?

    My source is richard spencer he made a video crying about it afterwards. Check out his youtube channel.

    Erm I had to Google that to confirm, I can honestly say that's rather amusing. I have no problem with all neo nazis being covered in glitter to claim that it bears some relation to acid attacks is ridiculous... Racist thugs being covered in glitter is a delightful and harmless idea. Poor Spencer, he's such a fragile snowflake.

    so he says in his own video he got kicked out of a cab for giving racist abuse to the driver? somehow I doubt it but if you want to post the video go ahead, ive no interest in trawling through his youtube channel.

    also can you answer the part of my question you ignored? You celebrated the glitter attack, but replace the glitter with a corrosive substance would you still celebrate it or feel it justified?

    never claimed any relation outside theyre both throwing something. was just asking 20cents opinion, which hopefully he will provide. I'll admit it is funny but would it not be better served to just debate the twat, his entire ideology is flawed, why concede the argument by resorting to violence and petty stuff like glitter?

    There's video of him being kicked out of the cab and he says it himself. On a phone in a rural area can't find it for you but its one of the first vids that come up. His youtube channel is channel is called altright mostly consists if him in his moms house complaining.

    Acid would be a bit much a box and glitter bomb is enough.

    Good to hear! glitter bomb is harmless if not highly childish and petty. But don't think its right to condone punching him. I disagree with plenty of people and some of them have ideas I feel are dangerous, but its never right to condone unprovoked violence to silence ideas you don't agree with, second you step over that line you let the person you're arguing against win.

    This is exactly my point. KiA is anti-SJW in a reasonable manner, but they got drowned out during GamerGate by the assholes who were sending death and rape threats by DM on Twitter. They needed to publicly denounce those people as quickly as possible at the start - without doing so, they doomed themselves to the same guilt by association that feminists experience because of SJWs.

    Question for 20 Cent, how do you feel about your anti-fascists being funded by a war criminal who helped hand over Jews to the nazis?

    A few more twitter followers so what. He was close to going mainstream. Not anymore.
    A neo-Nazi going mainstream????
    Can you show a poll that shows any kind of significant support for Nazi ideology in the USA?

    There seems to be a seriously misplaced belief amongst some, that if the far-right are not physically attacked then we could see the re-emergence of the Third Reich.
    I've even seen the word inexorable being used.
    Like the average family sitting at home watching Eastenders, is a short propoganda peace away from supporting rounding up the Jews.
