hello everyone welcome to this week in stupid for the 14th of September 2014 this week is a special moral degeneracy of the Western world edition let's start as we mean to go on read to Templeton wants her sons to see her naked why well because she's fucking barking but they all are this week so let's get into it I live with a house full of boys for to be exact but they're still relatively young so there are no nudie magazines stashed between the mattresses no stealthily accessed porn sites that someone to forget forgot to erase out to the internet history nothing like that as much as I'd love to think my kids won't be curious I'm well aware that won't be the case those things are looming and we'll probably start happening much sooner than I'd like I mean if I had my druthers they wouldn't even think about sex until they were like 25 - which I'm sure you're thinking the same thing as me why you sociopathic Puritan freak but before all that happens before they're exposed to boobs that are as round and firm as cantaloupe some pictures of taut airbrushed dimples butts I'm exposing them to a different kind of female body mine because I see already stated she wants to put them off sex for life ours is not a modest household I don't lounge around in the buff like my boys do but I've never refrained from changing clothes in front of them or leaving the door open when I shower or nursing babies without to cover because I won't see what a real female body looks like because if I don't their first images of naked woman are the impossibly perfect physique in the magazines or movies what kind of expectations will they have and what woman could ever live up to them Jesus Christ between you and me I'm dismayed big time with my post baby body but for the sake of my boys and my future daughters-in-law I lie through my teeth when they ask about my stretch marks I tell them proudly how growing a baby is hard work and they're like badgers I've earned as much as I'd like to cringe and shrink away when they touch my squishy belly I let them squeeze my flab between their Curious fingers do I hate it yes I want a whale leave my fat alone and for the nearest oversized t-shirt maybe you're not doing this for your boys maybe just fucking maybe you are doing this because you're an escaped mental patient the sanatorium has stopped looking for but she doesn't squirm away because for right now for these few formative years my flab is their one and only perception of the female body and I want them to know it's beautiful even in its imperfection I see she's trying to turn them into chubby chasers I don't want to do them or any woman they might happen to see naked in the future the disservice of telling them that saggy boobs are bad that a little bit of flab is something to be ashamed of I want them to know that this is the norm not the nip tucked and digitally enhanced images they're going to be bombarded with listen you gibbering maniac they're not going to be reading cosmopolitan sure they'll gawk at those bouncy boobies and flat stomachs and perky butts but I have hope that deep down inside they'll know this isn't the standard to which they should hold women's bodies like ever trust me after seeing you parading around naked they are not going to be interested in women's bodies there will come a time when I will cover up when they're around thank fuck I'm sure at some point I'll hear a mum put some clothes on or they'll learn to knock before barging into the bathroom but until then I'll let them run their fingers along my stretch marks and grin and bear it when they squeal with delighted laughter at the way my butt jiggles when I walk across the room to grab a towel good god ah you know you are their mother don't you because while they're young I want to plant the seed so that when they're older their wives can say I wish my thighs were smaller and my sons can say they are perfect just the way they are and mean it well I've got a couple of points for you there love they're not gonna be married like you are self-evidently not married because your husband unless he was an insane feminists like you would say listen your sons don't want to see you naked and when they're older they're going to regret seeing you naked because those memories probably aren't going to fade also no they're not ever ever going to mean it when they lie to their wives and say you're fat thighs are perfect they're just not unless of course your chubby chaser indoctrination is successful I cannot describe how thankful I am that my mum was saying I'm sure she's doing this because posing naked is one of the ultimate feminist acts except for when men are enjoying it of course the body is a feminist issue if ever there was one and the struggle to own it is never-ending again they write like their fucking children it really throws me off just the complete lack of professionalism I first posed nude in my twenties what a surprise when it seemed important to me to explore the meaning of nakedness boy idiots it means not wearing clothes is it really that hard there's a young woman I was acutely aware of the vulnerability of the unclothed female body a naked woman might be decorative stretched out a chaise lounge although I mean maybe it's a chaise longue I don't know what chaise longue is I assumed it was lounge in high art but she might also be a potential victim of male violence yes she might be anything might for a time I looked at men's magazines which appeared to be the only source of representation of women's naked bodies but all I found what pictures take him for the pleasure of male readers don't worry you can probably stop filling these male magazines of pictures of their fucking mother so I decided to pose nude to see what it felt like could I take off all my clothes and feel not just unembarrassed but powerful it was surprisingly easy perhaps because I was reading so much feminist material and I felt as if I was throwing off years of conditioning I think it's because all you had to do is stand there naked that's not a difficult job I didn't do it for the publication or reason other than curiosity but I think it's one of the reasons I've escaped all the body anxiety there was so common among women of all ages may well be who knows what kind of madness goes on in the minds of feminists of course there is another factor consider here on the one hand commercial porn and page three push images of women that are passive and degrading on the other reactionary religious leaders tell women they have to cover up somewhere in between ordinary women and celebrities alike struggle to feel okay about themselves worrying about showing too little or too much stealing intimate private pictures is a new front on this battle but the women have nothing to be ashamed of posing nude in my experience is one of the ultimate feminist acts unless you're doing it for the pleasure of a man in which case it is passive and degrading seriously this woman is the stupidest woman so far the other one was just crazy this woman is saying well when I do it it's empowering but when you do it it's degrading you idiot how do you know that these woman simply wouldn't turn around and say actually I find it empowering too you know I'm not pissed off enough yet the little boy who started a sex change aged 8 because he and his coincidentally lesbian parents knew he always wanted to be a girl the lesbian parents of an 11 year old boy who is undergoing the process of becoming a girl last night defended the decision surprise surprise claiming it was better for the child to have a sex change when young know its mind-bogglingly abusive for you to help your child to have a sex change before they've even hit puberty but let's continue the three mothers say that one of the first things Thomas told them when he learned sign language aged 3 because of a speech impediment I'm not sure that three-year-olds have speech impediments I think that the problem is that they are still learning to talk and even if a three-year-old says I am a girl that doesn't necessarily mean they know they are actually a girl in a boy's body but apparently at age seven after threatening genital mutilation on himself psychiatrist diagnosed Thomas with a severe case of having batshit crazy gender ideologue parents oh sorry I mean gender identity disorder by the age of eight he began transitioning yeah of course because an 8 year old is absolutely in a position to make an informed decision on such a thing this summer he started taking hormone blocking drugs which I imagine he got up out of his chair left school early went to the doctor and said look doc I'm having a real problem my cock I'm just I'm not a man I'm not I'm not Mannie and I don't really feel like I'm gonna be a man and I really think that I actually want to grow up to be a woman because I know exactly what I'm talking about and this is nothing to do with my lesbian parents the hormone suppressant implanted in his upper left arm postponed the 11 year old developing broad shoulders deep voice and facial hair the couple faced intense criticism from friends and family as a result no no way I can't believe they weren't all wildly supportive of you abusing your adopted child everybody was angry with us how could you be doing this you might be ruining his whole life but they don't give a fuck citing a statistic from the youth suicide prevention program Oh statistics I like statistics they apply to everyone miss Moreno noted that over 50% of transgender youth will have at least one suicide attempt by the twentieth birthday which means he must definitely have a suicide attempt avoid 20th birthday and therefore the only logical thing to do is turn him into a girl before he's even old enough to legally have sex he favored headbands to baseball bats and picked out bras and dresses to start wearing when given the choice in clothing to wear I'm sure and the change in his personality MS Moreno says was instant he was in his own world just completely detached and that was a problem we always had was getting Thomas to participate in life she said what we saw emerge when Tammy was allowed to be tani is whoa it was an immediate transformation she was so giggly and was now interacting she was now making it a point to defend herself I can see what they mean that kid is clearly incredibly outgoing and confident really happy with the way that her life is going and those two old fat unattractive lesbians who have got the haughty snootiest god ban err I've ever seen they had no part to play in this decision not even a little bit we swear your honor but for some reason they don't interview Tammy the diagnosis has been hard to accept for that but for Tammy's parents the couple were married in 1990 by a rabbi and have two older sons and grandchildren but they insist their sexuality has nothing to do with it it was odd to us she said even though she has lesbians as parents this is all new to us in every possible way we'd never heard of transgender people we have no idea what you're talking about we know what it's like to feel different we've got that one but to feel like you're not in the right body was something we could not put our heads around yep just no idea just I mean when would they ever have any experience with transgender people fortunately the family has a vast support system the couple credits Tammy's teachers and officials at the Children's Learning Centre in Alameda California and their religious community for being open-minded about their son's decision we live in the Bay Area where lots of alternative lifestyles are in place oh so you do know exactly all about this and what a fucking coincidence that you live in the Bay Area we belong to a religious community that's incredibly supportive they make a point when we're in synagogue coming over and tell Tammy oh you look so pretty today adding there's never going to be enough gratitude for them I bet San Francisco right by Berkeley is one of the four cities in the United States with a hospital that has a program for transgender children what a marvelous coincidence the University of California San Francisco is home to the center of excellence for transgender health amazing these coincidences just keep piling up I what fortunate fortunate child Tanny is children at scene at length by mental health professionals and then treated by pediatric endocrinologists I am absolutely sure they are I am absolutely certain this is happening and I'm certain that this is all a giant fucking surprise for her lesbian parents good god these people should be in jail I am fine with this kid wanting to be a girl if they really want to be a girl but I am NOT fine with it happening when the kid is a child they cannot give informed consent on almost anything certainly not having a transgender operation bloody hell just think back to the stupid shit you thought as a kid and imagine if that stupid shit affected the rest of your life in such a dramatic way would you have wanted the adults in your life going along with it without any kind of oversight by someone with half a brain it's unfair to just say this degeneracy is going on in the Western world because Egyptian feminists bleeding shit on Isis flag to protest misogynist Islamic state you don't have to protest something everyone is already against you absolute morons Egyptian mental patient alia Magda Ahmadi and an unnamed collaborator have made an incredibly bold statement against the Islamic state this past Saturday the exiled al Mahdi probably exiled because she's clearly a threat to the decency of everyone else around the world posted her most daring and controversial photo yet she has seen squatting over a black Isis banner which reads there is no god but Allah al Mahdi is menstruating onto the flag while a second woman dressed in an Islamic veil simultaneously defecates on it while giving a middle finger to the camera in a new high for feminist achievement and artistic expression dropping eggs of paint out of your vagina is so passe and like all of these feminists the attempt at a sincere look that they always give just makes them look like they are desperately looking for a purpose in life they look absolutely insane Jesus Christ I cannot believe how beyond the pale these people are el-mahdi did not specify why she posted the photo because I imagine she has absolutely no idea what's compelling her to do this though past controversies such as a 2011 incident in which she posed in only stockings and red shoes for her blog to protest against Egypt's conservative culture suggests that she is opposing the Islamic state terror groups brutally restrictive misogynistic ideology well if there's any way of convincing conservative Egyptian Muslims and Isis radical terrorists that feminism is actually a great and grand thing I don't think it's shitting and menstruating onto a flag no matter whose flag it is I rather think that's probably going to entrench them further into their belief that feminism turns women mental I really think you're doing more harm than good also I can't help them notice how little effort it must have been to arrange this art piece the Germans are taking notes from the Scots and declaring independence from the United States the majority of German citizens for the first time in history insist on less dependence on the United States in terms of their national security and diplomacy for the first time in history in history I'm sure that Bismarck was just like thank God the Amer because of protecting us from France the US and Germany have been odds in a spying Rao ever since Edward Snowden's National Security Agency revelations in June 2013 in October it was revealed that the NSA had been spying on German Chancellor Angela Merkel's calls since 2002 a German parliamentary committee has since been holding hearings on the NSA spying activities in Germany seriously Americans you need to get your government under control you are alienating all of your allies in response to the espionage scandal Germany promptly expelled the Berlin CIA chief German government officials readily acknowledge that anti-americanism fueled by these revelations of NSA's spying activities in Europe plays a significant role on how the public perceives the Ukraine crisis and has bred reluctance among many Germans to side with the US but don't worry though Americans the favorability of the United States and Germany has dropped from 68 percent in 2013 to 58 percent this year however at the same time 70% of respondents we are viewing Russia unfavorably that's right the Germans have realized that they're trapped between two giant assholes but the thing is Russia hasn't really done anything to Germany that Germany didn't totally deserve I know I know oh you keep defending Russia but there's a good reason that these things happen the Russians didn't declare war on Germany and then go storm Berlin because they're a bunch of ass goblins all this talk of independence has been what's probably caused women but most likely I think feminists to basically declare independence from men what if men weren't allowed on Facebook the Internet is in a gala terian wonderland which is clearly why the feminists hate it so much where women are free to voice their opinions dodj rape gifts meet new people filled rape threats forged communities and get asked to show strangers their boobs Tim berners-lee what have you done how could you not know that one day women would look at the internet again not mentioned be allowed to use this I don't care if they built it I don't care if they built Facebook they shouldn't be allowed to use any of it and can you Adam and fucking Eve it surprise surprise women calm the social network for women was developed by two men please attempt to suspend your disbelief for just a moment I swear to God I'm not making this up I'm in calm is a new echo chamber exclusively for women that is currently testing that premise launched by former facebook employee Susan Johnson launched not developed by women calm is a social network that encourages women to pose questions to the community currently queries range from how do I get paid what I'm worth which is an easy question to answer because the answer is you already do you're just not worth that much to bra row no bra tackling the really deep and tricky questions that humanity has been asking for millennia upvote the most relevant answers and they fall goes according to plan engaging the kind of brain mashing sicker fancy the only groupthink can really provide so what are women talking about some women calm that you don't see them talking about on sites like Facebook Susan the internet has traditionally not been a very safe space for women to speak their minds presumably because more logical people turn around and say that's a stupid thing to say women dominate all these social platforms online with 58% of Facebook as 84% of Pinterest but our offline conversations aren't matching up online conversations if you look at a conversation in real life that's just women there's something really special about that specific interaction remember that special is a term that has many connotations the same is true for men if there's a group of all guys the tone and cadence of the conversation is just different with one specific gender which is true but most sites now are not encouraging women to interact in a really well-lit positive manner a lot of comment sections are hidden below the fold or overrun with trolling comments I think it's official now trolling has literally just come to mean someone who disagrees with you on Facebook we're talking with seemingly everyone so we're not necessarily sharing our thoughts on the Middle East or even what we bought at Nordstrom I can only imagine what their conversations about the middle - like I found someone else's burger in my husband's car should I confront him about it or should I go and report him to the mutter Wien today's main question was really interesting my friend's husband is cheating do I say something called it I don't think anyone would ever post our Facebook of course they fucking word it's a true dilemma yes however could it be solved if only you could find the answer to this question humanity's problems would just be over you can google that stuff and Yahoo Answers will be your only results and you won't know who you're talking to and the answer will be somewhat illiterate the answer will be illiterate not the person reading the answer or the question about how to raise a daughter who respects herself what you mean the sort of daughter who parades around naked in front of her children or takes photos of herself menstruating and shitting on the flag of a terrorist state I have no idea how can you ever get answers to these questions you can ask that on Facebook but you won't get access to this larger community of women with experience honestly women don't join this you're gonna end up in an echo chamber of idiots giving you idiot opinions that bear no resemblance to reality why bill the site around questions I found them to be the basic foundation of a lot of great conversations I've had with my female friends we're sharing stories but we're also asking questions about things that happen in our lives from our relationships to our politics to the face cream we're using at night in true internet fashion we launched a minimal Viable Product to see if the idea could get traction and take hold but as the site evolved we hope to see women starting conversations about articles they find interesting or events they want to create or books they're reading and want to share with the greater community and forming micro communities around different topics that interest them but they're not ever ever going to build anything or create anything from scratch themselves slate there's one problem that's endemic to every community of women that's ever existed so apologies if you can't solve it is that while these communities start off with a goal of positivity it's not always possible to be both positive and honest because being honest can mean criticizing other women how will women calm deal with that are you fucking joking you are literally saying that groups of women only lie to each other because they cannot take honest criticism let's see what they say there's a difference between being mean and engaging in productive criticism and we hope to Iran the latter side yeah women are famous for not being bitchy community management is very important to us and that means giving tools to the community members themselves to report and flag specific kinds of content trigger warning as well as using technical means to get rid of really bad users are you expecting women to be trolls on this this isn't going to end well is it we don't want hate speech or socially negative material on the site but it's not all on us it's on every woman who's in here to make sure that it's a home that feels good for everyone because ultimately feeling good for everyone is the most important thing about it we take our invitation strategy really seriously the initial early adopters of women comm will invite their friends in and you don't want to embarrass your friend you also linked to your facebook profile so people kind of know who you are we hope that this will set the bar much higher coming in from there it's just a matter of maintenance I tell you what if any women do go and join this please do let me know what it's like I would love to see some screen caps or just some descriptions of the environment that you find yourself in continuing the gender apartheid taxes exclusively for women coming soon to new york a new library service starting September 16th in New York City Westchester County and Long Island will offer female drivers exclusively for female riders according to its founder it will take request for rides through an app and dispatch drivers sporting pink pashmina scarves the service will be called Chi taxis she rides in New York City because regulations barring from using taxi in its name because it's gender focused and aims to serve women who may feel uncomfortable being driven by men or who simply prefer the company of other women the app will ask potential riders if there is a woman in their party if not they will automatically be redirected to other car services you know what fine just that's fine I I would really like it if women could just declare their own independent state somewhere and these gender ideologues who are obsessed with their fucking genitals can just move there and they can live in their female paradise doesn't stop there though pink girl zones this is what one PR company thinks britain's roads should look like that's brilliant that's a normal road with a pink overpass that's only for women I can't describe how entitled the people who made this must be and for them just to not get laughed out of the fucking room after they proposed it if women ruled the world this is what London's roads would look like or something one misguided insurance company has put forward the idea of pink lanes female-only flyovers so women can soar over busy roads and nip ahead of that early morning rush-hour traffic another shows how a gender separated lane would apparently allow women to freely zip along the motorway without fear of male drivers getting in the way presumably as the battle for equality sits on the hard shoulder calling breakdown recovery I'm glad this article is mocking the idea so I don't have to the company claims the mocked up images would remove them from a potentially dangerous environment I'll be it's being a futuristic concept or absurd I think is the word you're looking for the proposals hopefully aren't entirely serious but Sheila's will spokesperson claims the company is serious about creating a safer road network for female drivers and we believe a discussion about how best to achieve this is long overdue helpfully the company has also done the maths after looking at road safety data and claims that implementing pink zones would cost Britain a mere 880 million pounds I imagine the women will be donning their work clothes and getting out their tools as we speak and these women workers will be funded by all those women who are going to cough up all this cash to pay for this but what AG men going to do when the women have seceded from them and they don't want to know them anymore obviously they're going to invent misogynist things like fetuses and artificial wombs medical marvel or misogynist malpractice I don't know Paul Amasia why don't you tell me is this misogynist I think it probably is isn't it reproductive health and social justices Soria Chema Lee wrote some out the developments by two leading scientists and the ecto Genesis field in Japan Yoshi Noro ker whatever of wherever University successfully nurtured goat embryos in a machine filled with amniotic fluid while helen hung ching liu of Cornell University's Reproductive Endocrinology at the Center for Reproductive Medicine and infertility grow mouse embryo in an artificial womb in 2003 and kept a human embryo alive for ten days in 2011 current legislation halts research projects involving human embryos after 14 days so it will be a while at least a decade according to Estevan before ekta genesis research can fully gestate human embryos although it holds the potential to be inefficient and occasionally life-saving procedure actor Genesis is already sparked a debate is human still applicable if embryos are not technically bred of a human womb yes what about mother there wouldn't be a mother or at least you know there would be a biological mother Estevan notes that the most prevalent philosophical issue driving actor Genesis is that it will shift perceptions of women Society oh don't worry it's fun these women are doing a great job of shifting the perceptions of women in society without your help will the feminine mystique be lost by such an artificial process replacing what's a long been a mainstay of the female domain mate there is no feminine mystique anymore when you have women exposing themselves all over every kind of media the feminine mystique is gone and the feminists have already destroyed the feminine mystique for you you really don't need to worry about that the question has caused a rift between leading scientists and feminist propagandists I mean scholars who state that ecto Genesis could hand over women's sacred birthing ability to science in her book the captured womb a history of the medical care of pregnant women and Oakley claims that EXO Genesis encourages long-standing misogynistic medical practices hang on long-standing misogynistic medical practices name one name one long-standing misogynistic medical practice how can a medical practice hates women medicine is about the saving of human beings lives improving their health how can it be misogynist now okay that is bounds me of course is misogynistic they're amending appropriating women's wombs for Sciences sake I bet if they said you know we can actually create human sperm in the lab now you guys be like fucking finally EXO Genesis is problematic for the socially conservative religious to journalist and Green Mountain College professor John NASA Vera wrote in America the National Catholic Review I'm expecting some words of wisdom out that that depriving a growing fetus from the infant intimacy of its mother's body is a very serious thing well I actually agree with that I think that this isn't something should be taken lightly and honestly is this really where we want to go is this the sort of Jurassic Park theory that we're using it's like well it's possible therefore we must do it I mean is there ever going to be a time when we go you know do we need this I mean do we need artificial wombs to make human beings in other enough human beings that are coming out of real wombs too a to go around at the moment I don't know really know I don't really have an opinion on this really but I just there's so freakish I just kind of want to be like you know what let's just that's just not we don't need to do this and if it ever comes a time where we do need to do it then we can research it but it's not all smiles and such I'm for the Christians as California D recognized Christian ministry for requiring leaders to be Christian California we need to have a conversation you guys have gone fucking insane you are mental you are seriously deranged there is something wrong with your brains when you're looking at the text on the page and going well I'm not sure that this Christian ministry should be allowed to require their leaders be Christians that seems unreasonable that seems like the sort of thing we should actually probably have laws against that you have laws against such things is stupid stupid beyond all belief but let's get into this California State University School System has D recognized the InterVarsity Christian Fellowship on discriminatory grounds for requiring that the group leaders be Christian the CSU system the largest university system in America with 450,000 students has refused to grant an exemption for a 2012 anti-discrimination policy that requires all recognized student groups open leadership roles to all students this new CSU policy does not allow us to require that our leaders be Christian InterVarsity said in an article addressing California State University system policy conflict within diversities doctrinal basis while we applaud inclusivity how who doesn't we believe that faith based communities like ours can only be led by people who clearly affirm historic Christian doctrine you bigots csu's policy states that student organizations shall deliver to the vice president for student affairs his / her designee a statement signed by the president or similar officer for the local student organization attesting that the organization is nothing but fucking words salad and has no rules or policies that discriminate on the basis of race religion national origin ethnicity color age gender marital status citizenship sexual orientation or disability I know you think that sounds like a good thing and it is for most things but when you're talking about a religious organization remember that I'm not religious and I wouldn't ever join a religious organization I just support their rights to have religious organizations if that is what they choose as long as they leave everyone else and in this case children alone but when you have this it ends up becoming stupid following the same logic any group that insists on requiring its leaders to follow an agreed-upon set of guiding beliefs is no longer kosher irony intended at California State University's wrote Christianity today ed Setzer this will impact many other faith-based organizations with actual well faith-based beliefs presumably even People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals would have to allow Oscar Mayer to lead their campus chapters it's a good point because the people who write this are so progressive as to be fucking retarded the extreme left has lost its mind and it seems to have gone power crazy and doesn't realize that it is literally turning into a totalitarian mindset I am fine with Christian organizations having Christian only leaders I am fine with people having private clubs that other people just aren't invited to including me I don't expect to be invited or allowed into some people's private clubs and that's just but it's all terrible for zoe quinn misogyny death threats and a mob of people who disagree with her inside the dark world of video games with zoe quinn the target of gamergate she's not but okay video games developer no inverted commas there which i really think there should be opens up to radhika sangani or whatever about how her alleged sex life triggered gamergate it did and it wasn't alleged was it let's be fair it wasn't alleged admittedly she has been convicted in a court of law but i think we can all agree she probably did do these things a vile hate-filled online campaign against her no not against her but nevermind and what it's really like to be working as a woman in the field there are plenty of women working in the field who aren't just did Anna Hertz I don't know how else to say it who aren't immoral degenerate scum Zoe Quinn was recently the victim of a spiteful attack by an ex-boyfriend yep why did he do it he had no reason he published a blog post naming a list of men she had allegedly slept with no she admitted to him that she had slept with them and when he said this is really upsetting me all she said was I think I'm going to be sick because she's insanely self-centered a number of whom are video games journalist Quinn I should point out is a video games developer but you're not concerned about the ethical quandary this presents are you the hashtag gamergate is being used by some video game fans around the world known as gamers or terrorists to troll Quinn see troll it just means to disagree with or dislike and a number of other women in the games industry a quick glance at Twitter shows a number of misogynistic sexist and pretty shocking comments coming under this hashtag bollocks does it but let's continue they're just going after women which presumably explains my phil fish flounced out of gaming i can't go home because they have been posting around my home address often with threats attached to it says quinn my dad gets phone calls screaming his daughters a whore and his dad's just like look man I know they harass him and people recovering from a heart attack I fear for him I imagine he saw the photos that she was selling online of her naked body and you know what I'm actually not judgmental bother if she wants to sell photos of herself naked go ahead don't just sit there and say that she is a victim of revenge porn no she's not she was just selling pictures of her own body the trolling women is not what game has claimed that gamergate is all about they feel that Quinn's alleged sex life proves a questionable relationship between journalists and developers to them this is an issue of journalistic integrity and ethics gamergate is the hashtag they say that you they're using to have a worthwhile conversation Quinn obviously disagrees they're attempting to hide their hatred of women behind a smokescreen it's so thinly veiled they claim to care about ethics and journalistic integrity but the only people they have been going after a women bull shit Quinn you are full of bullshit they don't speak about major game developers wining and dining journalists hey Quinn if you've got some fucking information that we could have from you that might actually be the thing you could use to redeem yourself you fucking moron but more specifically the current conversation is all about who Quinn has kissed no it's about who she fucked but that was just the trigger it's gone way beyond that now but she refuses to comment either way on allegations made against her you mean her admitting in text chats to her ex-boyfriend of who she fucked she tells me that for two-and-a-half years she's been working in the games industry she is she is a working girl she has experienced a huge amount of sexism a professional developing events people ask if she's an enthusiast or a student so in actual fact her award-winning game brilliant the depression quest has a million players a million people looking at this thinking what the fuck and contrary to what people assume she did all the coding herself well fucking done Quinn as a developer myself I can tell you that that is a feat I think it was that you managed to get strike through text like that I was most impressed about actually to be fair I did actually like that aspect of develop depression quest I really did find that to be quite informative about the pressure and concept of having depression then you know what you have to do but for summers you can do didn't explain anything else about it didn't explain why you couldn't do these things but that actually was a pretty decent mechanic but still it's really not a coding achievement her advice would be to stop using a hashtag that originates in hatred and a misogynistic campaign against a couple of developers and journalists who are women well it doesn't so we won't and instead she suggests they use another hashtag such as game ethics which raises those same issues without the misogyny and sexism of gamergate and allows them to regain control of the narrative I do not recommend anyone uses this hashtag of game ethics because that is playing into their hands they have lost control and they should not regain it but of course other hash tags have been springing up they're less neutral in game ethics one example is not your shield a hashtag that people of minorities are using to say they also agree with gamergate let's ask Quinn what she thinks about that Quinn thinks this is faulty as hell especially as she is convinced by many of the Twitter accounts using notyourshield are false and started by online community such as 4chan they're essentially saying that you're a minority you can't be shitty to other minorities the whole thing is pretty freakin gross listen dipshit I'll tell you what's pretty freakin gross you your face your fucking photos your attitude towards gaming and the gaming community and the fact that you think you can dismiss everyone coming out against you is even you know like the people of color and the minorities you purport to represent and say that they're literally sock puppets and don't fucking exist that is pretty freakin gross I'm not quitting as with gamergate she thinks that well-meaning people have now started using the hashtag without really understanding where it came from in all its connotations don't worry almost everyone understands exactly what's going on here apart from you and your side she feels for them but she also feels for the trolls who are sending her nasty messages and threats I'm sad for them frustrated the worst part is people I love are getting hurt because of this watching my friends still stand up for me and get smacked down aggressively for having my back is a hard thing to carry I just want to move on now every time I go to a game event or have a publicized speaking event I have to look over my shoulder everything that has happened sucks I just wanted to make video games it's frustrating but I love what I do I refuse to let these but when run another woman out I have the ability to carry on and I will let's just hope her trolls don't have the same tenacity and the gamergate will come to a quick and well-deserved end I can see why zoe is so very very sad
