But but but he played American football.
For a company that sure loves to profess about "social justice" (including how the term "Southern Belle" is racist because there were also slaves in the South, you ignominious shitlord), Gawker seems to have no problem working their interns like slave labor.
Who'da thunk?
Speaking of hypocrisy...
It's also interesting to note that Johnathon McIntosh, her boyfriend/producer/writer/stand user, became famous for his own remix videos. Whoops.
Archive.Today that shit, son. God damn.

Quite the recurring theme it seems: Holier than thou person hasn't got an as clear vest as they want, in this case Mr. Kluwe: https://archive.today/2zbOd Confirmed rape jokes and alleged yet unrefuted "didn't care they had sex with underage girl". Oh my.

who is this guy and why should anyone care
he writes like an angsty teenager, he seems completely unwilling to actually think, and he doesn't seem noteworthy whatsoever
as far as i can tell his greatest achievement is football
or something
what a champion
He also played a Troll Rogue with one of the better US WoW Guilds for a few years. Therefore it's right to say: he was a troll on the internet.
Alex Lifschitz, the trust fund baby of a multi-millionaire, has become a master at the art of projection.
Quickly, someone get him to the local AMC before the next showing of Gone Girl!
Also, Gawker is in full damage control mode, and by that, I mean they're lashing out at anyone they can in what one hopes is a downward death spiral.

Hey guys, I'm having trouble finding a image roundup of what Nathan Grayson/the rest of the bloggers did for Zoe Quinn. I know it was posted here but I can't find it.
This should help, at the very least.

That's also an interesting lead.

The page seems to be working just fine, and you can click through the contents normally. Call Jerry Seinfeld because I have no idea what's up with that.
They changed the title I guess, this one works: http://www.historyofgamergate.com/a-peoples-history.html
Remember: There is no collusion. There are no blacklists. You're just crazy.
If you don't recognize the name, he's the founder of IGDA. What does IGDA do? Why, let's ask the New York Times.
Well, that doesn't sound vague and kinda ominous at all.
In brighter news... Colgate will severing any existing and future ties with Gawker. Another one bites the dust...
And guys, can we get a little serious here? Because this is some seriously disgusting shit.

I don't even know what to say here. I don't like Anita; I think she's a swindler and a professional victim, but capitalzing on a horrific tragedy for easy points and pointing the finger at all males is a new low. I'm not even mad, just disgusted.
If you want some reading/watching for a little perspective, here's some. I don't know.

Long live video games.
TL;DR: People don't like corruption and people pushing authoritative agendas into video games; this is bad. If my cohorts and I can't use video games as a tool for our own ends, then video games have no value.
Don't let the door hit you on the way out, buddy.
Also... an interesting compilation about Chris Kluwe and Newsweek journalist Taylor Wofford. Spoiler alert: They're full of shit.

On advertisers vs the world has anybody done any analysis on what losing advertisers like this might do to gawker? I can't imagine they are terribly different to most other online companies, online news, gossip rags and newspaper style things in general (their parent company is a private Cayman Islands affair so public info is a bit thin on the ground) and the interrupting of cash flows tends not to be great for said styles of companies.
I do also like the "People don't like gawker? Well this is a thoroughly new affair." narrative as well.
I keep asking these sorts of questions, I might have to have a chat with some accountant/finance friends, pull some data and generally do some analysis. No doubt the results would be dry as anything but seen as we have now gone through the "people we long suspected of being inept/cretins not only confirmed as such but reconfirmed as such" stage it might be worth looking into. Some have queried why a "movement" wanting to look into ethics issues in games related fields has not done much in the way of certain things (a fair question, though still a redirect of sorts) but I have also long wanted to look into Hollywood accounting in the game industry but I do not have the full set of skills required for that sort of thing.

I forgot if I posted it before, but one of the Gawker writers stated that the company stood to lose "thousands, potentially millions" of dollars from the sponsor pull-outs (the phrasing might've been slightly different). However, that's still pretty vague, and since Gawker is a privately owned company iirc, there aren't any reports to share holders for us to scour.
