Joss flounce
May. 6th, 2015 11:56 amSo it turns out that Joss Whedon's exit from Twitter was NOT because of some evil feminist cabal. He states so himself in a salon.com piece.
What I found iiiiiiinteresting (because I really haven't followed it before now) was that apparently one of the accused 'evil 'social justice warriors' or SJW ( which is fast approaching the level of anyone using the acronym SJW is like anyone using 'I'm not a racist but...' It's a signifier to anyone reading/listening to prepare to most likely be bombarded by antidiluvian bullshit)
Annnnyway, seems one of the accused teh evol meany feminists is the same teh evol feminist who has been terrorized and received bomb threats from Gamer Gate trolls. And of course there has been significant overlap between Gamer Gate and Sad/Rabid Puppy Gate. Color me suspicious that if a Venn diagram were drawn up illustrating overlap, that there would be a similar overlap of aggrieved sexist 'fanboys' involved in recent accusations that it was teh womenz fault that Joss closed a Twitter account after experiencing 1/100th of the crap that the women targeted by Gamer Gate were put through. (That percentage may be slightly off considering one of those women had one of her online Twitter harassers arrested a block from her house carrying guns. So maybe 1/1000th might be a better estimate).
