All of the imgur footage on the issue technically qualifies as anecdote since it could all be edited, but no one's been stupid enough to make the claim that it's fake (yet).
I am! I'm stupid enough to say it's definitely fake. And Gamergate and 4chan members, too. Some choice quotes:
That reads absolutely like it was made up by a particularly slow twelve year old.
I don't believe it for a second.
The majority of us are calling fake. Too much shit about it doesn't add up.
A lot of it is bullshit- to think that he would be nervous about CRACKED running a hit piece -kek
That conversation looks pretty fake. Note the way everyone speaks and replies in “logical” order: in real chatroom-style stuff, answers are out of order and all over the place because everyone’s typing and replying at the same time. Even a two-person conversation doesn’t look that neat and tidy.
People say these logs are fake and were made by SJW trolls to sow discord and confusion among redpilled posters
The leaks also say that Cracked.com promised to run a smear article about him and about 4chan. And, although running smear campaigns has become nothing new to cracked in the past few years, smearing 4chan is like smearing shit on some more shit.
This is either a lie, proof the logs are fake, or proof that m00t is now actually making failed attempts to change his image.
That last one is Encyclopedia Dramatica.
Can you please say something clear like "I believe it's possible that Cracked blackmailed the creator of 4chan by threatening to hire feminist hackers to bring down the site in order to further the SJW agenda conspiracy"? Just to have something simple to quote once some 4channer comes forward and says "Oh yeah, I made up that chat, did someone fall for it?"
