Doesn't really apply in this case dumbshit. She's either attention whoring, or she was making a fairly clever joke that the ME:A facial animations are so shit a cosplayer did them.
I suppose making a joke in your twitter bio that the facial animations in ME:A were so bad because you did them to an ocean of screeching autistics is a bad idea.

Oh, you haven’t heard? They elected America’s most recent President and are all in key positions at the White House. I mean, sure, they’re not called GamerGate anymore, but the movement certainly still exists, and it has gained an enormous amount of momentum while we stopped paying attention.
they should have thought about it before daring to attack gamers. they attacked gamers and ended up having the entire left side of the political spectrum be destroyed as a result
We're a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did.
We'll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it's fun.
We'll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the stats of a fictional character all to draw out a single extra point of damage per second.
Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same quests over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such gamer nirvana that they can literally play these games blindfolded.
Do these people have any idea how many controllers have been smashed, systems over heated, disks and carts destroyed 8n frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights?
These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We're already building a new one without them. They take our devs? Gamers aren't shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the games our selves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We've been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a shitty head set. They picked a fight against a group that's already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they've threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can't is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.
Gamers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You're not special, you're not original, you're not the first; this is just another boss fight.
Is gamergate old enough yet to be hipster? I disliked gamergate before it was cool
Remember kids, if you dislike a game a female or foreigner worked on, you're racist, sexist and homophobic. This is too much son, I got more important things to worry about than who I'm oppressing today.
"Those foolish gamergaters think our game is shit because this woman was in charge. Bet they'll feel pretty stupid when they learn we made it shit all on our own."
people laughing at incompetent nerds hiring women so they can get a date leads to them pretending everyones sending rape threats and threatening to kill them
then the focus is "harassment is bad!" rather than whatever the fuck they were doing that attracted controversy in the start
its such a low effort tactic, but it works on most people because jeez, who would be pro harassment!!??!? surely if someone sends a rape threat theyre the bad guy!
wen u use ur incestuous relationship with the journalism industry 2 contrive a fake controversey so u can engineer ingrouping of mouth frothing gamers* so ucan use it later 2 redirect attention 2 **mouth frothing gamers & away from ur shitty production quality n ur products
The answer to why Mass Effect will be terrible is much simpler: EA has the touch of shit. Whenever they acquire a new company, they decay every franchise that they acquire. Mass Effect is just the latest casualty.
But go ahead and keep talking about gamer gate, it's still milkable drama.

so they doxxed the wrong person
this is retarded ass.
n/a Akilroth234 2017-03-19
dunno lol, i just think it's funny people are still going on about gamergate
n/a Akilroth234 2017-03-19
yep
don't think she was even working on the game to begin with
n/a BassTheatre96 2017-03-19
So she kinda asked for it, didn't she?
n/a flounder19 2017-03-19
Hard to say really. Since she's active in the videogame community, she may have added it recently as a joke about ME
n/a Kyoraki 2017-03-19
So, she impersonated a position to make it look like she's responsible for the shitty quality, and complained when people did just that?
This is the very definition of the phrase 'play stupid games, win stupid prizes'.
n/a Akilroth234 2017-03-19
Think she might've done it as a joke, seeing how shitty ME:A facial animations are.
n/a Kyoraki 2017-03-19
"It's just a joke guys! I was only pretending to be retarded!"

I don't know lad, both sound like pretty retarded ideas to me.

n/a Kyoraki 2017-03-19
That's what I've been saying. Play stupid games (ie: say you're responsible for a major fuckup on a toxic social network), wins stupid prizes.
n/a Hammer_of_truthiness 2017-03-19
Yes, I suppose its the cosplayer's fault for thinking that it was obvious that she did not do animation work on a AAA release.
n/a ason 2017-03-19
Even if it did apply, posting "le pretending to be retarded" meme for the trillionth time should be a capital offense.
n/a Vivisection-is-Love 2017-03-19
No, she worked there on facial animation. She's an animator. It's her profession. She just lied about her seniority and so got rekt.
n/a a_jill_sandwich 2017-03-19
Bioware sure does have a hardon for employing cosplayers.
n/a Ann-Takamaki 2017-03-19
Ugh, the evil gamergators are oppressing us women again!

Owen Good has protected his tweets. They're always such pussies.

It absolutely boggles the mind that people still care about GamerGate. What the hell does that one skank Zoe Quinn have to do with any of this?
n/a captainpriapism 2017-03-19
all of gg is analogous to this situation
people laughing at incompetent nerds hiring women so they can get a date leads to them pretending everyones sending rape threats and threatening to kill them

game looks shit
people find out bioware hired a cosplayer to do face animations
people lol
bioware comes out and goes EVERYONES SENDING RAPE AND DEATH THREATS WERE THE VICTIM NOW DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT HOW BAD THE GAME IS ANYMORE
instead of admitting they fucked up
this is what they all do now instead of owning up to shit
n/a Akilroth234 2017-03-19
That's what happens when you're more focused on your dev team being made up of agendered neon-haired amoebas than actually making a half-decent game.

they apparently hired that "gta raped me" woman too but they also deny she worked on mass effect
take what they say with a grain of salt basically
