You had no knowledge of what was happening, but you put up a thread defending someone? Really?
Devin Faraci - He thinks #notyourshield is fake. Moviebob retweeted it after his apology.

That is highly offensive to try to disregard minority opinions.
Not only that, but Moviebob got into a spat with Boogie for saying we should be skeptical of gaming media. Body shaming of a guy who can't walk.
Rami Ismail - Disregards everything because of "how it started." Stifling discussion.

Also says we should just drop the whole thing. Just because.
Hell some off these comments say gamers are "just bored" so they "invent drama."
On september 4th, Moviebob retweeted Andy Khouri saying any gamers who care about gamergate should be told to fuck off by journalists and content producers.
Moviebob's entire twitter is retweeted insults.
I am aware of Devin Faraci (in fact I started the thread [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/9.859458-Devin-Faraci-on-what-is-driving-the-gamergate-gamers#21334557] that seems to have brought him to the forum's attention). As for #notyourshield it really was [https://archive.moe/v/thread/261343810/#261347271] started on 4chan, with the link taking you to the first known use of the term. Also, Zoe Quinn's IRC posts showed people saying they'd go "blackface" [https://twitter.com/TheQuinnspiracy/status/508184768815448064/photo/1] on twitter to support #notyourshield. It's also worth mentioning that someone brings up the fact that they're not Caucasian in the IRC pic, and the fact that he bothered pointing that out seems to show that white people using sockpuppets is the norm. As for what he's been saying himself, I agree with most everything he's said and don't think he should've apologized for it.
What I think is hilarious is that its NOT conservatives banning anything, you can be as ultra left as you want and you will be allowed to speak on their sites. Notice what has happened to those that don't follow the gamerghazi groupthink here? THEY ARE SILENCED. You have mods here being as outright blatant as one can possibly about being biased, does the owners do anything? Nope, not a damned thing.
But lucky for us, no matter how much the anti-GGers gnash their teeth and wish they lived in a communist utopia the FREE MARKET WORKS and by voting with our dollars and refusing to support sites that make it clear they don't value us, as well as using our free speech rights to contact advertisers and point out their OWN WORDS where they insult minorities that refuse to be token, attack the disabled like myself with insults like "crips" and "gimps" because we too refuse to be used as tokens? We ARE affecting change, we ARE causing sites to have to fire the bigots to try to stem the bleeding of revenue, they can hate it all they want but the free market WORKS and we will continue to use it to get rid of the REAL bigots trying to destroy our hobby, we will not stop, we will NOT be silenced, and we will NOT be tokens or put up with the insults!
