Comment Why do exaggerate hardships and block those who qu (Score 2) 727
It's easy to dismiss others as being a troll when they say something you don't like, but that's also disingenuous. I'm also not denying there hasn't been harassment from people who support GamerGate, but you actively threw yourself into the fray -- you chose to fight GG. I see women in the industry like Jennifer Dawe and regular gamers alike not get blindly attacked by GG because of gaming while female -- clearly there is more than just being a female gamer that causes automatic resentment. It's attitude, not being a girl gamer that's the real problem.
You claimed you had it tough in Mississippi growing up, but you're white and have well off people who raised you. Do you have family living on Indian reservations with crappy land the US gov doesn't want like I do? I doubt it. You've also bragged about buying a new sport bike awhile bike, one speculated to be bought by Patreon money. Between your parents and the Internet, you're hardly in a state of being oppressed and that's why people have a negative opinion of you. The antagonizing nature of your Twitter only serves to confirm.
Not saying you deserve the harsher ends of it, just that most of this drama seems self caused and you block when people call it out instead of coming to grips you're far more privileged than you try to convince others. No one cares if you were trans, no one cares if there are women in the industry and no one cares to hear you talk about your "hardships" when there are people struggling just to live paycheck to paycheck -- some living off less than a grand a month. Those people deal with real hardship. You get several grand a month from the internet while engaging in a childish war with GamerGate on Twitter.
