[Air-L] Fwd: #gamergate links

[Jenni Powell]

Here are two personal accounts:

https://medium.com/the-cauldron/why-gamergaters-piss-me-the-f-off-a7e4c7f6d8a6

http://thisfeliciaday.tumblr.com/post/100700417809/the-only-thing-i-have-to-say-about-gamer-gate

What's interesting about these two pieces is that Chris Kluwe's piece was
really inflammatory (though he had points, don't get me wrong) and he went
pretty much unscathed in terms of being attacked in the name of
GamerGate...while on the otherhand, Felicia's account was tamer and more
personal and heartfelt and she was almost immediately doxxed (of which she
expressed fear of happening).  It sparked quite a lot of discussion when it
happened yesterday.
