Last week, gamers on r/asmongold started a campaign of targeted harassment against #blizzard qwriter Madeleine Roux @Authoroux They flooded her twitter, wiki and fan sites calling her racist against white men, went after her friends and sent her threats
Now they& #39;re targeting OTHER Blizzard authors and contributors - LL Mckinney @ElleOnWords, Catherynne Valente @catvalente, Molly Ostertag @MollyOstertag and Kami Garcia @kamigarcia
Sorry for the tags, but I want you to be aware this is happening

Notice anything about this collection of people they& #39;re targeting?
These people don& #39;t actually think these contributors are racists. They don& #39;t actually think these women are sexist. A quick look at THEIR tweets can prove that beyond any doubt.
They care that the people they& #39;re targeting are women, and that means they don& #39;t belong.

This is Gamergate shit. Angry men demanding that women get the fuck out of their fandoms, shut up, and be SCARED
Because these men need that to feel powerful. They need that to feel strong. They need to know they can cancel, harass, threaten, and face no consequences

This is what it& #39;s like to be a woman in a gaming space. And right now companies are doing nothing to protect their employees and contractors from it
