I know , most of us who play online put up with that or worse.
But , someone found her personal phone number to do this, which is kinda taking it too far i.m.o.
Plus it's ironic considering the major media sites stance on abusive behavior.
I think so too, + it's cool of you to donate more than once!
I sent a message to the mods on Saturday - but they still haven't replied.
I think I might just donate as normal, so long as the money gets were in needs to that's all that matters.
I understand.
I thought it might be good for the community to be united behind a good cause , but I guess it's not something that will last.
The atmosphere on here is volatile at the best of times, lol.
I don't think TFYC likes Quinn at all ,they're just trying to save their company. The major media sites still have them blacklisted which must be a pain.
I'm going to donate to TFYC partly as it's for a go...
Whoa, that Jayd3fox vid was uncomfortable to listen too. I feel sorry for her and hope she gets it together and keeps on doing what she enjoys.
It doesn't matter who's on the receiving end , harassment and abuse like that is uncalled for.
I watched this earlier: It's about Kramer, Silverstring media, Gamasutra, IGF and the big media sites.

Thanks, I'll try contacting one of the mods tomorrow, maybe we can get something started?
As for the recent scandal with Sarkeesian , I'm just gonna leave this here.

Look at it carefully.
Who initially used this as proof? (minus the writing over the top.)
The perpetrator's account?
Timing of the tweets and the screencap?
Conveniently deleted afterwards?
Serious question to all on N4G.
4chan /v/ got together to help TFYC out, how about us doing the same???
First we email TFYC to let them know our intentions.
After which we could just make individual donations like normal - but we could put 'N4G' after our names - that way they can tally up the overall donation from the community.
Heck , we might even get our own community mascot like /v/ did?
Anyone u...
True, I don't think I could forgive them either if it was me.
In terms of funding they're doing ok so far, maybe they did this to stop the abuse from the SJW's?
I'm still horrified the major media outlets blackballed them like that, TFYC didn't do anything wrong.
Thanks.
I always wondered that about her.
She originally came from a PR background, + (ironically for a 'feminist') one of her best friends is professional 'pick up artist'.
I remember watching an in-depth video on the language, key words and phrasing she uses in her videos and the uncanny similarities to the above.
She took apprx 150K for her Kickstarter - to make a series of 'dubiously' researched videos com...
That's true - I know a few girls who like Gears and Mortal Kombat.
However I was going off surveys I've seen recently like this one which looks at game genres, gender and age.

I'm presuming companies will use similar.
There might be women who enjoy male targeted games,( or vice versa,) but those numbers need to be sufficient enoug...
**Ignore this comment, entered by mistake**
I fine with equality and diversity in games.
However - I've seen plenty of Sarkeesian's videos and I just don't find her arguments to be particularly good nor do I see her methods making any meaningful change.
Generally speaking a lot of the arguments and examples she uses are taken out of context, a lot of them equally apply to games with female leads and some are just downright dishonest.
Example, from 22:15 for Sarkeesians vid...
Well sure , there are problems in the media with fanboyism , flamebaiting , moneyhatting etc
The 'real problem' with journalism is that some Journalists aren't actually doing as they should.
There's a real lack of integrity and professionalism - which applies just as much to the above as it does to the 'Quinnspiracy'.
People aren't mad about Quinn's personal life , it 's what her AND her associates have done. Thing...
I think it was good of them to do it, + they got to vote on which charity to support, plus they got Vivian James out of it.
But the Fine Young Capitalists Indiegogo page has been hacked and taken down, it'll be back up after they beef up security - still surprised the amount of s**t they had to go through for a charitable purpose.
Also not surprised to see non of the major games media sites reporting on that either.
That's a cool thing to do, great job 4chan.
Five guys burger and fries - is a fast food place
BUT
people have also been using it as a joke name for the Quinnspiracy, if you don't know what that is watch this:
http://youtu.be/C5-51PfwI3M...
MundaneMatts new vid mentions some pretty suspicious activity.
http://youtu.be/d0tkIx-DLCQ
I say the doxx is fake.
Being doxxed is bad - but doxxing a charity, covering it up and not once acknowledging it as bad or even attempt to right the situation after being exposed is worse.
After Zoe faked being doxxed already, you can't blame people for being skeptical.
Also , SJW's have a habit of playing the victim to avoid being blamed.
If it is true , then I feel sorry for him , and hope it doesn't cause too many problems, if this turns out to be ...
What she and her associates did to that charity event was pretty disgusting , borderline criminal.
But yeah, good article , I want gaming journalists to act like journalists, and for the media as a whole to show a lot more integrity.
Y'know , I never actually noticed the piano the first time I watched this, but that's a good point.
It doesn't make sense for anyone to do that unless they're going for as much sympathy as possible.
