Wikipedia says: "Bain became involved in the Gamergate controversy after discovering that a YouTube vlogger had received a DMCA notice for a video in which Zoë Quinn was discussed, arguing that removing the video would cause another instance of the Streisand effect. He was subsequently criticized on Twitter. Bain subsequently discussed the ethical and professional concerns relevant to the video games press, and stated that he believed that many of the ethical concerns raised during the controversy were valid or deserved to be addressed. He stated that the harassment associated with Gamergate was the result of lone actors who wanted to provoke conflict among the people involved in the controversy."
BTW, OP and the cited Verge-article fail to provide me context, the thread that started it and the criticism. They only show the escalation. Can someone provide me with a link please? |
The verge article is one sided. It's where she went after being fired to try and raise an even bigger shit storm she naively thinks will go her way. Her friends sure tried to pass only her viewpoint. Some are saying she was harassed by the most polite guy you have seen on twitter (wich was a huge fan of her). It's disgusting.
Anyways, this video will give you all the story. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aooZ_jKPLv0
