    You'd think that, but you'd be mistaken. He's been around for a while and he usually does this type of thing. Provokes people and then challenges them to live debate on his youtube channel. I think that was his way of trying to get Oliver's attention since he blocked him.

    I love this. The casting for some of them is funny.

    It's the same person, John Kelly. I saw when it was tweeted, same username too.

    Tbh, I think it's kinda lame that Oliver let one person get to him, but I know there were more complications behind the scenes. "House nigger" is just a spiderbite that reminded him of some trauma (not my words), and he felt choked out by some of the negativity. I know a girl who was very upset to see him go. He's doing alright, I'm told, but has decided to take a back seat and let the kids take charge.

    Yeah it's a shame but I guess Oliver reached his breaking point, which is fair enough.

    IIRC he already wanted to quit after Airplay, but stayed in the boat because of a talk he had with Christina Hoff-Sommers. At any rate, John Kelly (who supposedly is a goon shill) can go fuck himself with a buzzsaw.

    Yeah, just the link title sounds so weird (it doesn't show this on twitter or after you click the link)

    Ah well. I just want to make sure it is clear it's not me lol.

    Think about it!

    Someone like Zoe or Anita is running late for their flight to a really important UN meeting about people being rude on the internet. During the short cab ride from the 5-star hotel to the airport they're fidgeting in their seat and checking their watch every five seconds. The friendly cab driver tries to help them relax, but they have no time to deal with his misogyny so they call him a shitlord and ignore him. A sexist traffic light delays them further, but for all intents and purposes it looks like they're going to make it just barely in time. They check-in and hurry to the terminal. The plane stands by on the runway in the distance.

    It reads "Vivian James".

    Oh no!

    Triggered!

    That night the news reports about a UN meeting that was cancelled because an important speaker missed their flight after having an anxiety attack. The internet is safe from censorship, at least a little while longer.

    Professional victims thrive off of that. The UN would take that as proof of how far harassment goes.

    I don't mind this, I want nothing less than to challenge the UN with everything on a fundamental level.

    As fun as that would be, the UN and Zoe's & Anita's cronies in the media would lap that victim-hood up and we'd have about 20 or so articles on how horrible the airliner is for having the plane.

    And of course the inevitable hashtag.

    Mainstream media would also be forced to look into Vivian James, including her origin story, and the narrative painting GamerGate as a misogynist hate group would crumble!

    Yeah, they would just lie about it instead. I know. :(

    We need to find an actual girl called Vivian James to help us.

    Well we could try CultofVivan on twitter, she'll do nicely.

    I'm rather tired of charities.

    I don't know what the heck happened but Niche Gamer, Techraptor, and Drybone's patreons all went down by a lot. This is something that GG needs to address I think.

    I've donated to about nine Kickstarters - Under the Dog, The Red Pill, etc. - and thankfully, only one of them announced a delay in their promised rewards. Because I don't have a large disposable income, I'm a lot more selective with the projects I back. I understand the scepticism with the model, though.

    All they need to do is to claim that they're a women and that their house burned down. This should do the trick, as per the Alison Prime theorem.

    That or they have been forced into hiding because of mean tweets sent to them.
