Because McRapey is due to start claiming that he’s always been a gamer – in fact, he’s a game developer who has written games – and claiming that he and #GamerGate were just joshing each other a little like him and John Ringo, that they’re really good pals just like him and Larry Correia, any day now, I figured this particular Twitter rant should go on the record as the one-year anniversary of #GamerGate approaches.
Astounding the number of dudes who think a woman game developer being harassed has nothing to do with a movement founded to harass women.
— John Scalzi (@scalzi) October 11, 2014And yes, GamerGate was founded to harass women. We’ve all seen the IRC logs. Part of the plan: recruit others to be their useful idiots.
— John Scalzi (@scalzi) October 11, 2014And there sure have been a lot of useful idiots letting offering up their services to those who want to harass women! Well done, you.
— John Scalzi (@scalzi) October 11, 2014Face it, dudes: “GamerGate” is a toxic thing. You can’t say you support WITHOUT explicitly standing with those who hate and harass women.
— John Scalzi (@scalzi) October 11, 2014Excellent post about GamerGate. “If you don’t step away… then you *are* part of a hate movement.” http://t.co/IOB0nSiFJE
— N. K. Jemisin (@nkjemisin) October 11, 2014So stop standing with people who WANT you to be their useful idiots while they threaten women. You can’t pretend you don’t know anymore.
— John Scalzi (@scalzi) October 11, 2014You know. We know you know. EVERYONE knows you know. No one else buys into your denial. Just stop. AND repudiate. Stop being used. Simple.
— John Scalzi (@scalzi) October 11, 2014And if you refuse to stop being a useful idiot for those who harass and hate women, we’ll know that too. And remember.

#GamerGate is going to remember too, Johnny. Of course, it’s hardly surprising that one SJW fame whore who has virtually no connection to the game industry would rush to take the side of corrupt SJW journalists and other SJW fame whores who have virtually no connections to the game industry.
It’s no secret how actual devs feel about McRapey. But speaking of devs and game development, here is a screenshot from one of our games that will be released this fall. I expect seriously old school gamers will have no trouble identifying the original inspiration, as well as one of the new elements added.
It may interest you to know that while this particular project is a small one, it is a 100 percent Dread Ilk production. And to continue on to a second tangent, I should mention that another member of the Ilk is looking for a web developer.
I had an idea for a web business and I’ve had an acquaintance designing the program over the past year – he’s become unreliable so I need to find someone. It’s a start-up and I’d like to find someone who’s willing to design the software for an equity share in the company. The system was developed in .net framework (I think with ASP). There may be a better way and I’m not committed to that platform. If you know someone that may be interested in such an arrangement, please forward my email to them.
If you’re interested in learning more about it, shoot me an email with WEB DEVELOP and I’ll pass your email onto him.
