I have a lot of links about sexism in this Pinterest board (I promise I´ll move all to Diigo some day) http://www.pinterest.com/aletorto/sobre-videojuegos-y-mundos-virtuales/ Best, Alejandro Tortolini 2014-10-23 14:16 GMT-03:00 Jenni Powell <jenni.powell@gmail.com>:
Here are two personal accounts:

What's interesting about these two pieces is that Chris Kluwe's piece was really inflammatory (though he had points, don't get me wrong) and he went pretty much unscathed in terms of being attacked in the name of GamerGate...while on the otherhand, Felicia's account was tamer and more personal and heartfelt and she was almost immediately doxxed (of which she expressed fear of happening). It sparked quite a lot of discussion when it happened yesterday.

Thanks all. Like I said, I'm compiling all these links to a google doc for everyone else to use. I'll share once it is finalized.
P.S. Andy, thanks! I have two other more recent articles on the topic, FYI :) Send me a private email if you're interested in seeing those as well. If I write a whole paper on this, I'll be sure to send it along.

Hi Burcu,
I found this article from ArsTechnica on the relationship between 4chan and #gamergate particularly interesting. Discusses how #gamergate did not start as a grassroots gamer movement but with sockpuppet twitter accounts:

Great quote - "But seriously, I think we're doing pretty good on the #GamerGate front," wrote user OperationDunk in a "quinnspiracy" IRC channel. "Lot of support, and a ton of people are picking up the self-chastising when people start getting insulting. It took a few days
of
4-5 of us doing it but it's taking off."
Hope that helps. Would love to see a copy of your presentation when you're finished. Andy
PS - I have been citing your "Spectacular interventions of second life: Goon culture, griefing, and disruption in virtual spaces" article in all of my recent work. Thanks for taking a critical look at griefing and goons without demonizing it. Greatly appreciated! It's a culture that needs to be studied and understood.

Hi all, I've been asked to give a brief presentation on the #gamergate scandal that erupted last month. I casually read up on it but I want to be a bit more thorough as you can imagine. I was wondering if you would share some of the links you may have come across.
Kind regards.
