started out thinking this is some SJW shit, but by the end it turns into a redpill awakening poast by a fairly bright idealistic chick who didnt really know how the internet/SJW crowd works.
smart black chick who used to work on wall street starts a do-gooder startup trying to "fight online bullying", rapidly descends into a rabbit hole w Zoe Quinn orchestrating a false-flag harassment campaign against her designed to appear to come from GamerGate.

I am pretty anti-Quinn and all the accompanying SJW bullshit, but from what I understand of this chick's kickstarter, I hate her way fucking more.
Creating literal private databases about people who post shit on the web?
" I explained to her that since it was pictorial-driven, you couldn’t search by keyword (#Britney Spears) and expect all of the people to come up who had said something against her. I explained to her that you could only search by a real first and last name, so if a person wanted to discover who “John Doe” was on twitter, our database would be useless to them. Because the screenshot would say John Doe, but that image would be registered under the real user’s name. In essence, you’d have to know who you were looking for, and if you already knew their first and last name, you could head to their social media pages regardless of us."

LJL at the writer pretending to be some kind of authority on online bullying, and not even having a passable knowledge of what goes on.
How does this person not know what doxxing means? She seriously never heard of Zoe Quinn? She thinks that not posting people's names with their pictures would stop cyber-vigilantism? Has she never heard of image search?
Zoe is an odious person, but the author seems like a nitwit.

So many questions come from this.
It's like a big mystery filled with intrigue and drama.
How did these people get together, and get to be so conspiratorially-minded? So dishonest? Is it just Zoe and Randi and their little group of bandits, or is this much bigger? Is the entire SJW establishment on the same level of shadiness as these people?

As best I can tell, there's a clique of SJWs who started about a decade ago on sites like Something Awful and have expanded since then to Reddit, Tumblr, Twitter, etc, and who are mostly just involved with this "social justice" stuff because they like trolling people and this gives them a way to do it. A fair number of them are trannies or otherwise within the UMC white sexual degenerate wing of social justice, so presumably the parts of the movement intended to defend those sorts of people are the ones in which they might have some amount of sincere belief. In private they reportedly have no problem being racist, and were rather openly such before they turned SJW and pretended to disavow their previous actions.
There are also various leaders in the government, media, and tech companies who have various reasons for wanting to censor the internet and get rid of any shred of anonymity (to prevent people from criticizing them in comments section, on Twitter, and on forums/imageboards, as well as to make more ad money), and they've chosen the cyber-bullying angle as a way to do this. They make it seem like their focus is all on unambiguous cases of bullying (middle school kids using the internet to bully kids whom they also bully in real life, actual death threats) while in practice also censoring criticism from political opponents.
It's not obvious to me how unified they are into an actual conspiracy. There are also some hints that the SJW side has some conflicts with the truly powerful people in that the former want to be able to bully other people anonymously under the guise of social justice while the latter would prefer to just track everybody all the time.

I didn't read all this, but this is why nerdy male dominated industries suck. A bunch of dudes were desperate enough to fuck this absolutely hideous woman. So many that it caused a civil war in the industry. WTF

Shitlibs infiltrate video gaming. Its nascent "trade journalists" become subservient to the shitlibs, just like our wider media has. Hardcore gamers (mostly dudes) are for the first time confronted by shitlibs directly and go to war with them, get branded misogynists and bullies. The wider media learns of the story and begins doing stories on the shitlibs who've been "bullied and harassed online," making the story about cyberbullying and the abuse young women take in modern society.

Initially there were a few people on 4chan's video game board /v/ who were mad because Zoe Quinn's ex-boyfriend posted an angry blog entry about her and how she cheated on him with at least five other guys, including Kotaku game journalist Nathan Grayson who gave her favorable media coverage (though not technically a "review"-- this piece of semantics became very important) on her low-effort SJW-bait game in exchange for sex. At first there were a small number of people who cared about it engaging in the same sort of dumb trash talk gossip that is everywhere 4chan as well as other gaming sites, but game forum moderators (including ones on sites which previously had very hands-off moderation) across seemingly the entire English-language internet suddenly began censoring any discussions of the scandal. Game journalists also began directly attacking gamers as misogynists using standard SJW rhetoric, and several different gaming publications published by different companies released articles nearly simultaneously on the issue all following the same party line and with similar wording. This made a much larger number of gamers, as well as some people who hated SJWs but didn't really care about video games, take notice of the apparent media corruption and collusion.

cr, but the simmering culture war between basement geeks and the faggot shitlib journalists who preach at them was bound to erupt sooner or later anyway.

It never went away. Gamergate was the moment when people stood up and finally said "enough with this SJW horseshit". The Anti-GG side, and the media didn't realize that gaming has gone mainstream, and some gamers are well-educated, internet-saavy. Furthermore, gamers are unusually resistant to the usual SJW character assassinations because they don't derive any real self-worth from mainstream social standing.
The rise of the alt-right, including everything from the popularity of Milo Yiannopolis, to #TheTriggering, #TheChalkening, all the way up to Trump's success can be linked to GG's stand against the SJW's formerly unopposed long march through institutions.
Hilariously, aspie basement nerds with cheetos on their fingers may prove to be the saviors of western civilization.
