honestly doesn't sound like the m00tle I remember, but it's not terribly challenging to doctor up a chatlog. I'm this skeptical of everything in memespace, though. this whole thing is sketchy as fuck. yeah, it appears quinn was responsible for some shady shit, and she shouldn't be let off the hook if what we're told about alleged tampering with the campaigns is true, but the problem here is that, simply put, internet gonna internet. we're used to being able to rage with impunity to the point that we no longer have that little angel on our shoulder asking if we're sure we're not blowing things out of proportion. the problem isn't that memespace blew up at quinn for possibly fucking up an effort to improve the gaming industry. it's that a numerically small but absurdly vocal minority within gamergate lacks any concept of decorum and seems unable to express dissatisfaction with something a prominent woman said/did in a manner other than rape threats and the basest of vulgarities. it does the rest of memespace a disservice and makes legit channers, goons, and redditors look like the entitled, misogynistic powerspergs that turned a valid objection into an unnavigable shitstorm.
