Channers leapt at the chance to dissect personal lives, intent on finding ammunition for abuse. pic.twitter.com/YY9O1noN8Ihttp://twitter.com/EffNOVideoGames/status/522830746017214465

The first people to latch onto the Zoe Post were all about destroying lives. pic.twitter.com/jFe1GaP6CThttp://twitter.com/EffNOVideoGames/status/522831042470621184

We see a community that believes women are without value - infiltrators, invaders, duplicitous by default. pic.twitter.com/wkvKaPE4Yehttp://twitter.com/EffNOVideoGames/status/522831429894299649

between attempts to dig up dirt on Quinn's friends, we see first mention of a familiar message. This is on Day One. pic.twitter.com/adtckJ45VXhttp://twitter.com/EffNOVideoGames/status/522831918102900737

This is it. This is the crux of the "movement". "Journalistic ethics" was their #1 smokescreen for harassment. pic.twitter.com/XAOqsEtNEShttp://twitter.com/EffNOVideoGames/status/522832168863559681

They knew major sites wouldn't tolerate blatant sexism. So they decided to spin it. pic.twitter.com/cttZfs5SvAhttp://twitter.com/EffNOVideoGames/status/522832449680576512

Grayson never reviewed Depression Quest. They never checked. Why would they? http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=134397896&postcount=12285 … pic.twitter.com/KimKMHnAumhttp://twitter.com/EffNOVideoGames/status/522832866787344384

It's not about ethics. It was never about ethics. It's about taking every possible opportunity to hurt women. pic.twitter.com/Vzzc7ZG6Gqhttp://twitter.com/EffNOVideoGames/status/522833077882478595

Channers recognized that Gjoni's post was suspicious, but cared more about having a reason to attack women. pic.twitter.com/9ncvkFMzxthttp://twitter.com/EffNOVideoGames/status/522833447446777856

Very early on, we see plans to imitate social justice language, specifically to pit activists against each other. pic.twitter.com/qQAroKw6Ushttp://twitter.com/EffNOVideoGames/status/522833853279268864

GamerGate's recitation of SJ parlance has never made sense, because they think it's literally meaningless. pic.twitter.com/3S3DcXhk7Ohttp://twitter.com/EffNOVideoGames/status/522834117759475712

Paranoid people project their own values on "The Enemy", then try to emulate them. pic.twitter.com/Zv6mzcBwS4http://twitter.com/EffNOVideoGames/status/522834628088844289

— Fuck NO Video Games (@EffNOVideoGames)Thu, Oct 16 2014 19:41:57 - GamerGate is still regurgitating the same transparent, debunked lies, and expecting us to believe they're not a hate group.
