Jewish "Jihadist" 9/11 Plot Foiled

[Thedrin]

Yet the headline and the Times of Israel story uses the very same word to describe him and his activities! I even put it in quotes to emphasize that it was not literal. That he wasn't actually a "jihadist" at all, being Jewish and all.

Ah, I see now. Fair enough.

He was the originater of the "Shaun King is white" rubbish That milo and breitbart spewed forth with next to no qualms about journalistic ethics.

I had to look that up. The 'Shaun King is white rubbish' is in fact the reporting of the fact that Shaun King is white - as confirmed by an anonymous family member and then by Shaun King's wife. It's not clear to me how your link shows the originator of that story to be the guy in the OP article.

 

[brennan]

He also posed as a Jihadist, an Australian lawyer and a feminist.

Do you believe that he was a Jihadist, an Australian lawyer and a feminist, or is the only online persona he had that you believe to be genuine that of a Gamergater?

 

[NovaKart]

I do agree that the no vetting is a problem. It's a problem with Twitter in a general sense though, not Gamergate specifically, which is why I mostly use Reddit's KotakuInAction board for my Gamergate interactions and basically ignore Twitter. I consider Twitter to be cancer.



And it seems to me that you want to judge the entire thing based on a minority of bad apples simply because you disagree with them ideologically. Think carefully if this is the standard you want to set. Because if that's where we're going, then I'm going to be able to claim that feminism is about man-hating because there are a handful of feminists that use the #killallmen. I'm going to be able to claim that BlackLivesMatter is about harassment because of those people that were interrupting Bernie Sanders. I'm going to be able to claim that Islam is all about terror and violence because of ISIS. Consider carefully just how much hypocrisy you're willing to indulge in when you want to say that those groups can't be defined by their worst elements but this one can.

If this guy gets to represent Gamergate because he used the hashtag, he also gets to represent Australian leftists since he posed as one of them as well. Do we have any Australians on this board? I'd love to see how they can possibly defend themselves for their affiliation with this clown!

Well it's rare that we agree on something. I was going to post pretty much the same thing using the feminist comparison. Like people judging a loosely defined movement because of what some possibly affiliated member did. Like Valerie Solanas being a feminist.

Supposed non-gamergater helps poster child of gamergate

Apparently is still not related at all to gamegate group

Oh and also:

Its about ethics

What is this? Screenshots for ants?

 

[Wolfbeckett]

He has masqueraded as a neo-Nazi blogger called "Michael Slay" on the site Daily Stormer, and as a fictional Australian left-wing anti-free speech activist called "Tanya Cohen".

Quote from the article I linked in my first post of this thread.

But wait... Tanya Cohen... that name seems so familiar..

Right, right, this.

So it looks like he was both a Gamergater and an anti-Gamergater simultaneously! That's so weird, how could he possibly be both? It's almost like he was just a troll playing both sides for the lulz, but no, that can't possible be true, can it?

Not sure how to increase the size without making them too blurry, but basically it shows this scumbag is directly involved in the hitpiece against Shaun king, which Brennan denies

Also the same old "it's all third-party trolls!" rubbish.

Gamergate can do no wrong, everything bad is done by third party trolls it seems

 

[bhavv]

So you're trying to say that's the original size of the text? No I don't think it is.

I didn't take the screen shots.

Dude, he literally wrote pro gamergate things under one alias and anti gamergate things under another alias. Please clearly explain how anything other than "he's a third party troll" can account for this. If you disagree, state why, don't just keep calling it "rubbish" and not substantiating your claims in any way. You can't just assert that something is rubbish without any evidence, that Listen & Believe nonsense might fly on Twitter but Civfanatics users are a little smarter than the average bear, that isn't good enough here.

 

[brennan]

You haven't yet explained (and i've asked three times - anyone would think you were evading the question) whether or not you believe he is a Jihadist, a prominent Australian lawyer and a feminist - for which we seem to have the same amount of evidence as that he is a Gamergater.

 

[useless]

No i don't believe he is any of those three, given he made entire personas for them, with differing names but decided to use his real life name for his (supposed) gamergate profile/persona.

Why would he go to all the effort of faking all three of those, only to suddenly forget to do the same with Gamergate?

Either he screwed up or had some sort of investment in the hashtag, enough to put his real name to it, which was and is risky.

 

[brennan]

His real nam was Moon Metropolis? It doesn't state that in the OP.

His parents must have been hippies.

I didn't deny it, I said that your link didn't back up the claim that it was him.

I don't really get the use of this term 'hitpiece'. Are you denying that Mr King is in fact white?

 

[useless]

The implication was that Shaun King wasn't of mixed race, but purely (if such a thing is even possible) white.

 

[brennan]

It doesn't appear to be an implication so much as it is a fact from what i'm seeing. I'm not sure why that would be impossible, unless this is some strange usage of the word white I wasn't previously aware of.

 

[useless]

The article against Shaun King was claiming he basically lied about being mixed race, claimed he was white and was making it all up, basically claiming he was the next rachael dolezal, which is why King took such umbrage towards it.

It's essentially an attempt at character assassination.
