This isn’t exactly surprising. They’ve been targeting people who got nothing to do with their alleged grievance from the very start after all.

Another GG-related storify showing them for the shitlords they are: When the GamerGate mob targeted Anil Dash for no reason. My goodness, Mike Cernovich is disgustingly amoral.

As I’ve seen it, “derp” is usually the go-to word to plaster on pictures of people with Down syndrome. I’m pretty sure it comes from Something Awful.

It must just be my circle of acquaintances, then. Sorry!

Re: Derp: The only disability that I’m aware of it being used to poke fun at is physical, not mental – strabismus – and I personally like calling my own strabismus “Derpface” because I have a self-deprecating sense of humour and it amuses me. I mean, I won’t use it around people who find it offensive, but yeah, if people do use it as a slur against the mentally disabled, it’s rare enough that I’ve never seen it.

Speaking of South Park, one tragic thing I read somewhere was somebody predicting a possible future episode where Wendy says something about video games, prompting Cartman to start his own GamerGate movement specifically to harass her. I imagine it will completely miss every single point possible and fuel the “arguments” of abusive assholes for years to come.

I wouldn’t be surprised.

@zoon echon logon: Maybe I should have put that inside the quotes, since I was trying to mock such attitudes. Also, I left out the “1”, as in “!!!1one”. (I hate not being able to edit comments.) Well then, to sum it up another way:

~~moustache-twirling villain~~ GamerGater: “I got you now, you evil false-flagging femmunist SJW running dogs!” *called out by #StopGamerGate2014* “Derp!” *flees to man cave*

Well, I don’t want to hijack the thread over it, but thanks everybody for your thoughts! One thing we can all agree on: GamerGaters suck!
