YouTuber and Kick streamer Angela Knight interviews me about my upcoming GamerGate book!

Listening to your interview it seems that Angela is struggling with a definition of "gamer" on which to base the gamer community.

The only definition that really matters is: How many hours do you spend gaming?

People who spend more than 20 hours a week, lets call them hardcore gamers, contribute the vast majority of resources to the gaming industry.

Lets restate that. Hardcore gamers spend enough money to make the gaming industry bigger than Hollywood, pro sports and publishing combined.

Hardcore Gamers were the targets of the evil smears of the media during GamerGate.

Seriously? Angela Knight thinks that we should elect the President of All Gamers so gamers, as a group can have legitimacy? That is a galaxy brain take.

It is crystal clear that Angela has never spent a single moment on any of the Chans. Statements can be evaluated on their own merit. Engage with ideas, challenge ideas.

This whole "oh, if you don't have a leader, then you don't have a point" is beyond stupid.

A major part of GamerGate is that the people who put themselves forward as Leaders of Gamers were corrupt and were using their popularity to push an agenda. The gaming press WERE NOT gamers and did not like or understand gamers. From this gamers, as a group, distrust people to speak for us. If you you want to find out what a gamer thinks, ask them.

It is becoming clear that Angela thinks with her feelings.

Fuck the whole "clout chasing" phenomenon.
