@michaelharley He's often credited with coining the hashtag #gamergate and has something of a history. This is from over 10 years ago, though, so maybe he's had a redemption arc I missed.

I will still watch this, even if they were to do a Star Trek style animation treatment.

Like it or not, Supanova, popular culture is political

Try as it might, Supanova cannot simply ignore the fact that one of its key guests is also one of the instigators of pop cultures' most destructive hate groups.

Bueeno pos si nos hicimos ilusiones con lo de la nueva serie de animación de Firefly resulta que no todo es tan bonito. No sabía yo que el Baldwin fue el instigador y creador del puñetero #gamergate y aún así lo mantienen en el equipo, con lo que ya no importa que mantengan alejado al Whedon.

Adam Baldwin was literally *the* guy who named GamerGate and made it go viral. It was just some loser 4chan/incel YouTuber shit before then. They spammed him to get his attention because they knew he’s also a psycho loser and they wanted to make it go viral, and he did it. And it worked. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

"The “#manosphere” emerged in the 1990s and early 2000s – but gained momentum during #Gamergate in 2014...This worldview sees men as inherently dominant and women as inherently submissive. It ultimately seeks to put both men and women into boxes that limit and control them."

It's growing and potentially endangering our youth by encouraging them to subscribe to #toxic ideals and behaviors. Platforming men like the mentioned Tyson Gordon and famous rage-baiters like Andrew Tate, gives these ideals an evolving platform.

With our program Gaming Against Violence, we believe we can uplift, empower, and encourage our youth instead - by showing them a different way of co-existing and community.

This year, with growing concerns over escalating behaviors like politicians suggesting women shouldn't vote and trad-wives becoming aspirational, we've decided our 2026 topic for our annual game jam is TOXIFY. Can you design a game, with no on-screen violence, that address the growing trend of toxic behaviors, ideals, and attitudes that impact our young people?

PITCHES ARE DUE MARCH 23. Cash prizes are guaranteed for all finalists. Learn more at toxify.org.

‘I want someone submissive’: Married At First Sight gives the manosphere a prime time slot

No longer confined to social media feeds, the misogynistic ‘red pill’ worldview is now being amplified on Australian broadcast television.

So, speaking of #Thiel, #palatir, #Persona, and deep espionage on everyone in the West, a discovery in the Epstein files reveals that Thiel was funding #Weev. If you don’t know who that is, you’re a lucky person, and probably weren’t in the first line of attack for #GamerGate.

A strange find from the Epstein files: A hacker named Vincenzo Iozzo shares with Epstein a rumor that Peter Thiel was "bankrolling" the neo-Nazi white supremacist hacker troll known as "weev." Conversation is about financial strategies and "currencies." https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%2010/EFTA01747994.pdf
