Twitter used to support free speech. "But then came GamerGate, the brutal 2014 campaign against women in the video game industry." (archive.ph)

I like how the article mentions Felicia Day.

The woman only gained prominence because she wasn't horrible looking, and because her content was appealing to gamers and nerds. And then she went and called her fans sexist. Way to shit all over your target audience. I'm not surprised that I've basically heard nothing about her since then.

Hating your own customers: A winning strategy since 2014!

But to be fair, Felicia herself warned her customer-base: In the music video that basically made her (semi-)famous, about wearing fetishy outfits and being sexualized for the pleasure of gamers, she outright clarifies: "Do you want to date my avatar? She's a star, and she's hotter than reality by far." What she is marketing, what she is presenting, is far more attractive and marketable than her real self, by her own words. So when her real self comes up, surprise surprise, the Miss is a miserable misandric miser.
