Being a lady into nerdy stuff has been rough. Made the mistake of having a girly gamer handle and the messages I got playing online Xbox games were heinous. I don’t play online anymore.

not sure if gaming was more fun growing up because of childhood whismy and lack of responsibilities or just because I didn't have man-children constantly screaming "WOKE!!!" in my ear back then

I really wish I could be in community with ppl that love to play games and have compassion. I'm tired of racism and misogyny in the gaming community and I can't even call myself a gamer

LITERALLY - I was an avid gamer but felt so much sexism in the community. When Anita appeared, I really loved the discourse and felt affirmed for what I experienced.

It’s been like 10 years and to this day I still cannot grasp gamergate. I watched a 45 minute explainer on it and I still don’t understand it.

Yuuup. And one of the worst things was that it wasn’t just male gamers — it was also male game devs, and women game devs (like me) had to deal with this nonsense both in and out of the workplace.

I hate how politically aware i was during gamergate. the alarm bells literally got louder every day since then. I yelled to everyone who would listen that we were going down the bad timeline

Ya your right but not in your framing GG was just one of the first times people saw the media lying to them and officiate the criticism by using isms to attack the audience

Hey hey hey there’s different types of nerds. I don’t play games at all, but I play piano, and read, and code(it’s what my many degrees are in), and robotics. I’m not toxic. I go to therapy 🥹

As a woman who has been semi-pro/world ranked in a number of pvp games. YUP. I've kept my gender private and had times players found out I was a woman as a top 10 and they tried to stalk me for weeks

Did we just conveniently forget that Gamergate just showed us that media and journalism are basically mercenaries getting paid to talk good about a game/movie/product??
