Gamergate's latest victim: Kotaku writer doxxed and run off Twitter after gamergator leader belittles harassment in her article and sics their followers on her
118 2017-08-17 by saint2e
Kotaku writer (and transwoman) Laura Kate Dale wrote this article about a prominent gaming figure and their struggle with harassment.
Once again, a prominent transphobic Gamergator and alt-right enthusiast belittles online harassment and sics their followers on the hapless Kotaku writer here.
The author of the article has subsequently left Twitter due to all the harassment she herself received as well as being doxxed, and rape/death threats, presumably since that's what Gamergators do.
SMDH when will these GamerGators learn.
Edit: The Gamergate leader in question has boldly spoken out against doxxing, so long as it's done only against fellow gamergators. Disgusting.

I can take a 9-inch dildo up my butt, because I'm an adult and I solve my own problems

They do so love to turn on their own, that was great.

Anti-GG doxes and harasses someone, what a surprise
1 botchlings 2017-08-17
Replace Anti-GG with any left/far-left/social justice group and no one should be surprised.
But heaven forbid that anyone right of center even suggest doxxing someone on the left. They would be screaming bloody murder.
1 Strich-9 2017-08-17
all leftists are evil, and only they dox peope. Right wing people have never done anything bad
1 dogbref 2017-08-17
wtf I hate doxxing now
1 saint2e 2017-08-17
The appropriate anniversary gift for gamergate's anniversary is apparently doxxing a transwoman who disagrees with you.
1 Notthehalf 2017-08-17
I'm sure Anita thinks this is about ethics in Journalism, she probably wrote that interview for sex anyway.
1 battles 2017-08-17
I'm pretty sure Anita doesn't control that twitter, but that Johnathan McIntosh does.
1 Notthehalf 2017-08-17
Wasn't he sacked for being male and not apologising enough (and being to much of a nut job for even Anita)?
1 battles 2017-08-17
You might be right i looked him up and he appears to be on other things now, so is Anita, fwiw
1 Makoto_Niijima 2017-08-17
The anniversary of the beckycide. In august of 2014 the gamers decided to round up innocent white women just for playing video games and threw them up in concentration camps, a brave and lone survivor called Anita Sarkeesian, who still faces many awful things like "harassment" and "rape threats", is basically afraid to ever go outside again due to the horrors she has seen.
1 Shinlo6 2017-08-17
Tbh if people like her get scared of going outside, it's a major net gain for humanity as a whole.
1 bobbybonnadouchey 2017-08-17
Wut.
Someone stop circle jerking and explain to me who doxxed Laura k.
1 saint2e 2017-08-17
Sarkeesian's followers.
1 bobbybonnadouchey 2017-08-17
Has that been confirmed?
Hearsay is hearsay.
1 saint2e 2017-08-17
I mean, they were calling her a Nazi Sympathizer, so it's not that far of a stretch given that shitty Twitter account that was inaccurately doxxing nazi's.
1 bobbybonnadouchey 2017-08-17
So no confirmation?
I guess it'll eventually be blamed on gamergate.
Again.
1 saint2e 2017-08-17
Is there ever any concrete confirmation on these things?
1 bobbybonnadouchey 2017-08-17
I rest my case.
1 FindMeTheTruth 2017-08-17
"Hey, HEY, just because they were standing over her corpse after threatening to kill her doesn't prove anything!"
1 Ylajali_2002 2017-08-17
why is sarkeesian mad at the article in the first place? is this total biscuit guy really alt right? please explain because i am too lazy to read the article.
1 mohkohnsepicgun 2017-08-17
Last thing i heard people were calling him a SJW cuck or something because someone at some q&a thing asked about traps or somesuch.
Before that I heard he was dead of cancer.
Before that I heard his entire anus fell out and his wife had to push it back in with her finger.
1 DuckSosu 2017-08-17
An obvious lie. I met the man at an SC2 event way back in the day and it would easily take her whole fist to get that back in.
1 mohkohnsepicgun 2017-08-17
I did once broach the subject of my wife maybe sticking something up my jacksie during bedroom fun-times but she looked at me funny, went all quiet and I have
NEVER
1 mohkohnsepicgun 2017-08-17
Is that because he's a somewhat corpulent gentleman or is his wife a slim, somewhat elfin figure with wrists like twigs and eyes which dart nervously like a frightened deer?
1 DuckSosu 2017-08-17
I'd love to say bit of column A and bit of column B, but I've only seen pictures of his wife. It's because he's a healthy fellow do his best to work his way into the NA e-sports scene. At least at the time.
1 John_Ketch 2017-08-17
I'm 90% sure he's faking this "terminal" cancer thing. Who the fuck would get diagnosed with terminal, life ending cancer and then spend their last moments of life getting booty blasted on Twitter that a rando troll asked a question about traps being gay or not.
1 odintal 2017-08-17
Sarkeesian and the rest of the Fem Frequency bots really don't like white men talking about harassment online. The fact that it's TB who has called out her brand of toxic mud slinging made it even worse.
She stepped in a big pile of progressive stack though because she called out an article written by a trans lady journalist. I doubt it was actually Anita, I can't picture her doing any actual work even something as small as reading an article and tweeting about it.
1 Matthew1J 2017-08-17
You can guess.
1 Strich-9 2017-08-17
lmao this is a big deal to you eh
1 Matthew1J 2017-08-17
Like I said, not even trying to be coherent...
1 wisty 2017-08-17
He's like a lolcow to the alt-left. He's a bit thin skinned, and gets annoyed when people criticise him. So they call him toxic, he shouts back, and they say he's still being toxic.
1 Cauchemar89 2017-08-17
Seems somebody missed his freakout after election night, in which he ordered all Trump'sters to unscubscribe from his channel and scolded his wife for helping Trump win, because she voted for a 3rd party.
1 rakkar16 2017-08-17
He's pretty big on the "ethics in game journalism" thing (but, like, unironically) so he was sort of associated with gamergate in the early days. Clearly he's not anymore, as evidenced by the fact that he now appears in an article on GG boogeyman Kotaku.
Not sure about his personal politics, but I doubt any alt-right type would want to be associated with Kotaku, or vice versa.
1 caffienatedjedi 2017-08-17
He bought into the everyone right of Bernie is a Nazi, and things are going just well enough he hardly gives a shit about ethics anymore.
So, not really associated with who he used to anymore.
1 Notthehalf 2017-08-17
I always thought in early GG days he stayed silent sort of supporting anita and the like obviously too scare about his wallet to come out, then only in the last year or 2 has been more vocal about "fuck SJWs" but not strictly in a GG supporting way, though he did trigger SJWs by saying he 's from a mining town and knows what it's like to be underprivileged and recently outright more "fuck both sides"...til his money started to walk away.
Basically his rode that fence like a Dick Rambone Dildo for whatever would get him traffic and cash.
1 Matthew1J 2017-08-17
She believes she is "a woman who argues for the basic humanity of women in a deeply misogynistic culture" and that anyone who doesn't go to her for the """"truth"""" has "a position of power in an overwhelmingly sexist, patriarchal culture".
1 BigDaddy_Delta 2017-08-17
Because she is a scammer, she dosent really care about that feminist crap
1 bostonbob1987 2017-08-17
The article said that TB receives online hate. Only Anita is allowed to receive online hate. She gets particularly annoyed when straight white males claim they receive hate online.
1 captainpriapism 2017-08-17
nazi is the new sexist
1 Strich-9 2017-08-17
so no, it hasn't been confirmed
1 saint2e 2017-08-17
I'm using the "gamergate is a harassment campaign" criteria for proof.
1 Strich-9 2017-08-17
But there's proof of that
1 saint2e 2017-08-17
Right, just like there's proof of what's her faces doxxing and harassment.
1 Strich-9 2017-08-17
Ignoring the fact that there IS proof of that.
You're saying that yes, you are acting as dumb/bad as the people who consider to be incredibly dumb/bad?
So would you describe yourself as someone who is dumb and bad? Or someone who was FORCED to be dumb and bad by all these dumb and bad people?
1 saint2e 2017-08-17
Why are you questioning this transwoman's harassment and subsequent doxxing?
1 Matthew1J 2017-08-17
I'll put that on the list of words you don't understand.
1 LemonScore 2017-08-17
My biased summary:
Dale, crazy leftist and serial liar, interviewed Total Biscuit (they've been friends and colleagues for years).
Total Biscuit has historically been mostly positive towards GamerGate (though he flip=flops constantly and has been pro-censorship as well).
Leftists have been calling GamerGate a hate movement to discredit it since its inception and they've also been vilifying it as a gateway movement that leads people to Nazism.
Anita Sarkeesian, a leftist con artist that makes money through being outraged about alleged misogyny/racism/other kinds of bigotry in games, called out Dale as promoting GamerGate and a bunch of others did, too.
Dale abandoned twitter after receiving a lot of negativity and is now "resting" (lol) and their friends are saying that Dale has always been anti-GamerGate in order to regain favour with the leftist hivemind..
1 CrushedBlackPepper 2017-08-17
Goddamnit, stupid children and their parents who don't monitor and limit what their children to online.
1 glmox 2017-08-17
they are all pretty much indistinguishable at this point lol. i like how all anita could manage was a perfunctory tweet about how you shouldn't dox "marginalized" people
1 FindMeTheTruth 2017-08-17
[Anti-Gamergate SJW's dox one of their own because she had Wrongthink]
"THIS IS GAMERGATES FAULT!!"
Oh boy. And people used to say this comic was a strawman...
1 Country-asshole 2017-08-17
Aren't rape threats against transwomen like the least effective threats possible?
1 saint2e 2017-08-17
It doesn't have to make sense, there's a narrative to push.
1 princessCuck 2017-08-17
Remember, trans women: cis feminists are subhuman hounds which are in a constant hunt for a way to attack you and ruin your lives, for in their hearts they see you as the oppressor. Destroy them where you find them before they destroy you.
1 SperglockHolmes 2017-08-17
We all know who is to blame.
1 mohkohnsepicgun 2017-08-17
So gamergate's still a thing?
I thought they all went off to MAGA or work for the Russians or whatever...
1 bobbybonnadouchey 2017-08-17
^ Reeeeeeeeeeeeeee who let the normies in here??!!
1 rakkar16 2017-08-17
When you've made a career out of opposing it, sure, it's still a thing.
For the rest of the world, it isn't.
1 BigDaddy_Delta 2017-08-17
It is a way for Anita to keep getting money from his con
1 YiffReich 2017-08-17
Jesus Christ. Anita and her crowd are such shameless pieces of shit.
1 YiffReich 2017-08-17
Go to the comments on the Kotaku piece and take a look at Eric Henry for some complete retardation.
1 do0rkn0b 2017-08-17
Man in a dress getting death threats, literally never expected that to happen surely there has to be some other reason.
1 ltedt 2017-08-17
"Matt Crocker @mfcrocker
Replying to @LaurakBuzz
I mean, perhaps don't run a barely critical piece about someone responsible for huge amounts of harassment? I'm really disappointed."
Hmm... 🤔🤔🤔 So when you make and article about this, you kinda deserve to be called those things, being doxxed, etc. Really makes me think
1 saint2e 2017-08-17
Victim blaming at its best.
1 chaosakita 2017-08-17
The dyed hair is not doing their look any favors
1 dramallllama 2017-08-17
I wonder why TB agreed to do this article?
So just to clarify, a trans woman who lied that a Microsoft employee was transphobic, reeeeeeeeed over /u/david-me favorite word, and then had a fit over the "Are traps gay" embarrassment; has a job a kotaku. What a shocker.
And really is anyone surprised that TB's side-bitch did an interview with him? I mean he is the perfect stereotype for gamers. It seemed to neglect the part where he was harrass people so badly that the reddit admins told him to stop. You have to be pretty bad to make the admins do that. Or how he screamed at his wife for voting differently than him. Or the fact that he "quits" anytime he is questioned on anything then returns days or even hours later. He is so embarrassing he has mentioned that he shows his twitter to his therapist.
1 BigDaddy_Delta 2017-08-17
You know the quality of employees in kotaku already
1 dramallllama 2017-08-17
I would have loved to see TB as a lawyer. A witness would say something, he would rage and then cry, then quit the case and then run out of the room, and then come back into the courtroom 10 minutes later and demand that only he and the people he like be able to talk.

Huh. This is surprisingly fucked up, even for her.
1 OniTan 2017-08-17
TFW Laura Kate Dale looks exactly like you expect "she" would.
1 youcanteatbullets 2017-08-17
She's back on Twitter (assuming she ever left and you aren't just a lying POS)
1 saint2e 2017-08-17
Yeah she's back. She was off for hours though. HOURS!
1 DoctorMort 2017-08-17
Still gay.
1 UmmahSultan 2017-08-17
I'm supposed to believe that this trust fund baby who pals around with millionaires is 'marginalized'?
1 cycophuk 2017-08-17
Twitter should ban Anita.
1 PineappleExpress98 2017-08-17

Why why why why why?
1 saint2e 2017-08-17
Because white supremacy requires constant vigilance!
Or something.
1 Strich-9 2017-08-17
as we all know from recent events, white supremacists don't even exist
1 saint2e 2017-08-17
That's not true, gamergate is still around.
1 Strich-9 2017-08-17
KiA has unanimously come down on the side of the Nazis following the events of the weekend, btw. Anti-GG's arguments that GG is just a recruitment platform to change peope into being alt right while pretending it's about video games seem to have been 100% accurate.
KiA is literally pro-nazi now.
1 saint2e 2017-08-17
Well I can say one thing for the Nazis of Kia, at least they're not sexual harassers in real life like their critics. I mean, you have to actually leave your house to sexually assault someone in person.
