I also think it's seriously dishonest to pretend this only happens within Gamergate and not any of the other movements aiming to effect social change. For example, feminism has a big problem with callout culture
1. feminism is an ideology not a movement, the comparison is nonsense and a distraction.
2. gamergate doesn't just happen to systematically employ heinous methods as a side effect. threats and harassment was always integral to it and their actual goals are reprehensible to begin with.

Isn't her story about online harassment? How do you even translate that into a movie without showing a computer screen more than half the screentime?

all those hacker movie works, also it's about the real life effect and consequences not the screen

what

almost all hacker movies are terrible lol

It would be absurd. Nobody sane would purposefully perpetuate harassment on themselves. Which is why I thought it was more in jest or flippant than some kind of affront.

There's alot of idiots that crave attention no matter if it's positive or negative. Look at DeviantArt.

Fuck, over half the users of secondlife and most MMO's entire entertainment value is derived from that shit.

Has anybody read her book? what was it like?

Anyway, I'm interested in the movie only because I want to see how they're going to do it. I don't think Zoe Quinn is a very interesting person, but I've never spoken to her so who knows.

Also didn't gamergate basically turn into a mob of conspiracy theorists at this point? it seems to me like most sane people abandoned it.

In the context of a movie that's more than enough, she is colorful, and that's leaving tons of other facts. She also have many achievement and has been organizing events since forever. She is really smart and get shit done. Dunno the point is that there is enough material to exploit for a movie, much more than with the ZUCK.

Alot of those people pretty directly rely on harassment as a means to enable their shitty behavior. They have attention, therefore they are right in whatever way they see it. If they ever stopped getting attention, their existence would be forgotten, and they might even actually change and/or seek help.

A certain 'Prokofy Neva' comes to mind as the leading example of someone who lives and thrives within negativity. Or the ever-infamous 'Chris-Chan', for that matter. There are probably other, more easily remembered instances of such people, but those stand out in my mind at the moment.

I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm just saying, these people exist and they're in dire need of serious help. There's probably plenty of people who got in/famous for this very thing.

You're skirting very close to a ban. I wouldn't continue down this line of conversation.

I'm not disagreeing with you though??? It's not okay to harass people but there's certainly strange things that come out in the human psyche thanks to the internet's existence. That's all I'm saying!

Gonna shift this line of conversation back to the film (probably for good reason)

I absolutely think Quinn's story is an interesting one, and I'll definitely be checking out the book, but I'm curious how they're going to adapt something as internet-centric as this to film. I have faith that the production team will have figured something out by the time they start shooting, but I'm just curious as to how it's all going to translate.
