Pfft, I'm 10 times cuter than her.

Most species of intestinal parasite are 10 times cuter than her, so I'd say you're probably lowballing yourself.

KidKitty shared this gem with me, but it looks like a few people threatening doxxing and the like are meeting people who actually know what they're doing....

What I want to know is if ANYBODY getting these threats are forwarding it to law enforcement; this and the doxxing ALL constitute criminal charges and it doesn't really matter how many proxies these betas think they can hide behind; because I can't be the only one who remembers how well that worked out for Lulsec, don't we?

Gah, I can't tell which is worse, the fact that she looks to be pushing 40, a terrible dye job on mousy-looking hair, her face twisted into a grimace, lip ring...

Or the swastika tattoo?

 

[OBAMATRON]

Either way, why have a swastika on the wrist other than trying to be edgy?

Is that a swastika on her wrist?

Gonna post this because it might spark some relevant discussion. I've never seen a swastika with the extra "leg" that makes it a square nor with inward pointing arrows. I did some googling and found this

Spoiler: Taiwanese Recycle Symbol

I'm wondering if Zoe didn't just get it because she thinks it's cool and edgy and because traditional Celtic/Asian usage gives her plausible deniability. It's also technically a recycle symbol.

Probably, but they're likely keeping it quiet, so the inevitable party van visit catches 'em napping.

Local law enforcement agencies aren't equipped and don't have the jurisdiction to deal with most internet crimes in the US. Which basically just leaves the FBI, and they probably don't like to waste time and resources on obviously meritless death threats.

Thunderf00t contacted the authorities about how he received vivid death threats. And he mentioned the first thing they told him was to shut up about it online so they could collect information about it.

He mentioned that if these feminists actually got death threats and cared about it, we wouldn't have found out about it until someone got caught. With regard to Milo he's likely being smart and doing what he's told.

I'd be very happy if anything actually did come of these threats, but realistically I just don't see how, without some serious coordination between police departments in different cities or even states. Ultimately I think they'd probably have to be dealt with federally. If you have anonymous shithead A in New York making death threats against person B in Minnesota on Twitter, a service hosted in California, well I'd have to think that raises some serious issues of jurisdiction. If there any lawyers here who happen to have any insight I'm sure we'd all love to hear it.

Several friends directed me to this:

Did you know that, until Google did something about it to thwart it being google bombed, Googling the terms "Lovecraft" and "Racism" brought you right the fuck to Zoe Quinn's site? Seriously, it was the #1 search result due to Google Bombing. Even now, after Google shut down the initial Google Bombing attempt, it's like #5 for search results.

The worst part about this is how they keep portraying her as an anti-feminist, because... because what? Because she's a conservative? A Democrat? Her bosses are one wing?

The sad thing is that she's probably on the best path. She points out a lot of things that are inconvenient to the extremists, and has the nerve to defend men and boys, including pointing out that boys are the ones being left behind in education and that is ignored because girls are getting all the press. Women do better in school and are more likely to get college degrees, yet almost all the focus is on them.

She wants equality for the benefit of all, not at the expense of some. It's a fine point but an important one.

I was really happy to see her support. She's a class act, and has a lot of expertise in dealing with SJW types. She's thorough and it draws out absolute fury.

The figureheads of the #gg side are a major feminist author and a gay man who had almost nothing positive to say about gamers before being drawn into this and learning the reality of it and apologizing for his earlier attitude. How cool is that?

The other side just consists of people who prove how much of a douchebag they are every time they open their mouth. I really don't want them to have this, not after a childhood of bullying because I wanted to play with my Vectrex instead of playing football or whatever. Line in the fucking sand. I'm in the most important advertising demographic now and I'm going to use that to fight back. Yeah, I'm old enough to have owned an oddball gaming system new that was killed in the first industry crash.

She could pass for a young Ayn Rand

Aww, what a special little snowflake.

In fareness anyone who has ever tasted coke zero has pulled that face, an does so whenever exposed to it it's vile stuff.

 

[Super Collie]

I was under the impression Coke Zero only existed at soda machines so that you could use it to cut regular Coke so it only has half the calories.

Nha it's existence is proof Coke has Learned nothing since the whole New Coke era, infact in the UK I think it's just been re-branded Coke Life.

Should women have better representation in videos games? Yes

Why?

I'm a female gamer. The vast majority of gamers are straight men though. Well... Unless you read reports that include everyone who ever played angry birds on their iphone. These games are supposed to sell and straight men tend to like sexy women.

Also, I enjoy playing fantasy characters during my escapism. Sometimes I want to be sexy as fuck whilst kicking ass. It's not like male gamers all look like Kratos in his loin cloth.
