i think anyone who can't see through milo is about as stupid as they come and deserves everything they get. he's like a villain from a shitty 80s japanimation series.

most of those girls are making bank off the high minimum donations and a deliberate part of the appeal is being able to send (mostly) unfiltered troll messages that will be read on stream. you can probably find some of helena lux's streams archived for a particularly good e.g. of the phenomenon. there's a subset of twitch where some camgirls moved over to twitch because its more lucrative and less terrible than doing cams & so their chats are particularly... problematic. i mean the idea that there are so many people willing to pay $5 to spam the donation script with nonsense or boring insults or w/e is symptomatic of the sickness at the heart of the western male pysche but its basically a weird s&m stream. more misogynistic are all the manbabies that complain incessantly about 'female streamers' and 'attention whores' and are always trying to get these girls banned from twitch.

i'm not so sure about that.
The summit will include Randi Harper, Katherine Cross and Caroline Sinders from “Level Up: Overcoming Harassment in Games,” as well as Perry Jones, Mercedes Carrera, and Lynn Walsh from “SavePoint: A Discussion on the Gaming Community.” We are working with both groups to develop the most productive focus for their appearances.
what i'm seeing is that the first three speakers were not told that their (cancelled) event was being reinstated in a combined format with the latter three, who, let's be frank, hate them.

so the timeline is (as far as i understand it)
anti-harassment people propose panel about design, their proposal is mobbed on line, but succeedsgg people holler at sxsw to give them a panel too, which it does (i think w/o the same proposal process!)after a shitload of hate mail (from everyone, afaict) sxsw cancels *both* panelsmedia aghast, vox and buzzfeed threaten boycott at cancellationssxsw cooks up replacement panel -- throwing 'both sides' into the same room for a whole day

I’m the Founder of and Editor for the Open Gaming Society. I’ve played games since the age of 6 and hope to someday make a career of making them. I love this industry with all my heart and want to see it move on to a better place. You can almost always find me buried in some game whether it be The Witcher, GTA, League of Legends, or The Elder Scrolls – I’m always playing something.

It's amazing how often I see this pattern: see weird outlier asshole comment on game/SF content (not even related to harassment, feminism whatever) from someone with a Twitter handle that would have seemed edgy in 1992. Dig into their tweets - GG. The aggrieved minority thing they're doing is some paranoid style in American politics shit.

EXCLUSIVE: Amy Pascal’s Pascal Pictures has won a bidding battle for Crash Override: How To Save The Internet From Itself, a memoir by game designer Zoe Quinn that sold to Touchstone/Simon & Schuster and will be published September, 2016. The property was bid on by several studios and TV outlets, and several actresses are circling, with interest from Scarlett Johansson said to be keenest.The movie deal was based on a proposal titled Control Alt Delete, and tells the story of how Quinn, creator of the hip interactive game Depression Quest, was targeted by a digital mob bent on upending her life when a blog post by her ex-boyfriend went viral. It sparked the widely-discussed Gamergate controversy and took a surprising turn when instead of running, she decided to fight back. It is a very inside look at gaming and nerd culture and what happens when one gets caught in the gears of that machine.http://deadline.com/2015/11/zoe-quinn-crash-override-gamergate-memoir-amy-pascal-1201611420/

Kind of insane they will make a movie about this. It seems like every public event even slightly related to the topic gets death threats. Not sure GG would tone down the violent rhetoric in the event of a mainstream film release.

i can see it working well as a paranoia thriller - you've got a protagonist who no longer feels safe in their own home but, when they go out, every stranger on the street could be a gamergate maniac with ill intentions.
