How do you guys get your mind off Gamergate?

Maybe I'm just super-autistic, but every time I get into the shower I spend 30 minutes in a mental fog, obsessing over it. Either thinking about an article, or a twitter exchange, and tearing my mind apart trying to figure out how can people be so deluded?

I'm now scared to death that my past involvement with GamerGate can be dug up and cause me employment problems since I work as a programmer. I've posted a thousands comments across various forums and article comment sections trying to tell people the truth and gave money to various GG charities, because it was the right thing to do. And I've managed to keep any social media accounts attached to my IRL identity separate. But every time some makes a sweeping declaration declaring me to be a monster, it scares me a little bit. Gamergate opponents operate at an absolute fever pitch and I can't get my mind onto any other topic.

How do you cope with the crippling anxiety? Of being blamed for mythological heinous acts that you had no part in?

Anon, you need to back off. There are two things when you need to stop:

1) Burnout

2) Obsession

You are in the second and it can easily lead to a crippling case of the first as well as damage your general well being. Never get obsessed with something this long term. It's one thing to channel that into something productive like a site or game and another if you're just shitposting on twitter or here. Been here since last August myself, there's no crippling anxiety. I don't care if people know who I am either. You just need to take a break and do other things. Go outside and just walk around for an hour every day, explore your neighborhood, your work area, see what's around. It's a little bit of exercise and some Vitamin D, which is important for overall health.

Do that for a month. Get into some games or anime or comic books or whatever your entertainment choice is. Limit your social media time and presence, go a couple days just not doing anything GG at all. It'll continue for a long while still so don't worry. Focus on your own health first.

SJWs are usualy tremendously immature and deinstrumentalized to grasp the real world: Usually teens who are trying to figure out who they are and get intercepted by ideologues such as FemFreq who offer a shitty, readymade regressive view of the world based on jargons and neologisms. It's stressful because you're argueing with a sack of wind.

Take a break and go breathe fresh air. Spend time with lucid people. GG is nobody's identity, it's a hashtag.

It's not necessary. If you look at his whole mess like a game, you'll see that aGG are blowing their resources like a bunch of morons.

Lots of manpower devoted to defending bad units like scam artists, liars, greedy opportunists, and pedos. They're eating the reputation and goodwill of neutral/good structures like Google, Intel, the Government, Educational Institutions, and news publications.

All that vespene gas for what?

To fight against a bunch of fat virgin neckbeards with anime avatars?

They're scrubs.

GG is not supposed to be your main day activity anon. Nor your main night activity. It's supposed to be a side activity, something you do because you want to, not because you feel it's necessary. Otherwise, you'll burn out.

Do not let that get to you. You're anonymous from what you're telling, and even if you weren't you did nothing wrong by donating to fucking charities and such things.

If anyone accuses you of being a monster, dare them to bring evidence to what they said, else they are mischievous slanders. They are the ones making an affirmative accusation, and as long as you really did nothing wrong, there is no way they can bring evidence to non-existing acts.

OP here. Thanks everyone. I sort of knew that I needed to get back outside again, but I had sort of convinced myself that changing my mental state via exersize-induced brain chemistry manipulation was just a healthier form of drugging.

I didn't want to be away from a computer too long, because my mind goes in circles whenever I'm not reading something stimulating, which is usually gamergate stuff. My main concern is that even if nothing happens to me, personally, the history books will be written by the SJWs. Such as the wikipedia page

I'm going to bed early and then maybe try to get up earlier? I'd like to get laundry done but my mind keeps replaying the stupidest thing I've read on the internet that day, every time.

Just know that most work places do not want any involvement in gamergate. As long as your "identity in gamergate" is separate from your real identity,then you will be fine.

Just know that those who push social justice is even getting sjws into trouble. >>283756

Censorship for a reasonable "opinion" is not something that can be tolerated for long. Making even comedians scared to say jokes just shows how soft society has become.

Listen, this leader tells you what to do: >>283868 Please stick to what he says. Take your time. We will be here when you feel like comming back. Think of GameDiviner shortly after the said he needs a long pause, like 4 weeks or something. He went to overdrive and had a massive public sperg. Just take your time.

I write a book about GG and spend sometimes 12-15 hours of a day with GG related stuff and even dreamed the on or other time about GG. This happens when you are super invested. For a writer you say it's perfect when you find your topic even in dreams. While you learn also distancing techniques.

Don't be scared about somebody digging something up. Just don't do it. How often in your life one of your fear scenarios which kept you awake on a thursday evening came acutally true? It's just not worth worrying. Not be ignorant, but stop worrying. It's like a rocking chair, you have something to do but brings you nowhere.

I don't get any anxiety, because I've been getting away with other stuff for years. Random ppl accusing me of being a "gamergater" as if it was even a mark of shame to begin with, is the least of my concerns. You sound like you have your ducks in a row with having your online identity separate, don't worry about it.

The first 2-3 months I was exactly like OP.

I couldn't focus at work, I even had trouble sleeping. It was just a never ending avalanche of information, streams, happenings and drama.

I also found out that most of my friend were leaning heavily for the SJW side, wich lead to fights and more stress. I work in tech too, so ended up getting paranoid and making multiple accounts.

You eventually grow out of it, becomes part of your daily routine. Play something, watch porn, check Gamergate, repeat. Cutting SJW cancer out of your life helps. My old friends were scumbags anyway.

>How do you cope with the crippling anxiety? Of being blamed for mythological heinous acts that you had no part in?

Easy. I just embrace it–I simply say that the SJWs deserved whatever that happened to them that they're trying to pin the blame on us.

I can say this with a clear conscience because it was limited to just claims of "death threats" and "harassment" on Twitter.

To me, th SJWs should be thankful, because whatever that's been happening to the this is nothing compared to what anon is truly capable of doing. I used to frequent the various /i/ boards from 2007 to 2010, and I can tell you for certain that anon could've done much, much worse.

If people on the internet really wanted to destroy the SJWs, they would've shit such as:

*Steal their identites (credit cards/bank accounts/social security numbers).

*Hack and leak their email accounts.

*Hack and vandalize their social media accounts.

*Hack and vandalize the social media accounts of anyone associated with them.

*Hack/DDoS their personal websites.

*Flood their doorsteps with thousands of dollars worth of stupid crap by using their stolen identites.

If you're an oldfag like me, you'll remember that all this shit happened back in 2007 to a guy named "Keith", owner of a Gaia Online clone called Subeta.org. What did he do? He put up Longcat, Tacgnol, and Ceiling Cat as cash shop items that Subeta users could buy and put on their avatars:

https://encyclopediadramatica.se/Subeta

That shit earned him the wrath of Anonymous.

Something seemingly stupid as in-game items was enough to send anon into a fury. That's just the tip of the iceburg, too. From 2005-2008, anon used to go on a shitton of raids on people just to get some lulz. Biting Beaver, Tom Green, Habbo Hotel, and many others–Anon used to raid the shit out of those guys:

Back then, Fox 11 even gave us nicknames such as the "Internet Hate Machine" or "Hackers on Steroids" due our antics:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ze-3l6V2Q1E

After this video was published in 2007, the Myfox11.com forums got absolutely flooded with spam.

But then comes Project Chanology in late 2008: It started on 711chan strictly as a black-hat OP against the Church of Scientology, but then something happened: Someone suggested the idea of doing IRL protests.

Then the movement got co-opted by faggots from Xenu.net, who convinced anon to doing nothing but RL protests. After that, talk of black hatting became banned on all Chanology discussions. Anon's image then changed from being badass tuxedo-wearing hitmen with green heads to fat nerds wearing lame Guy Fawkes masks.

Next, enter Twitter the same year: The fact that you could add hashtags to affect search results had the way for a whole new generation of slacktivists–People convinced themselves that adding messages with specific hashtags actually equated to making some sort of significant change, as opposed to actually taking action.

This perception of making a difference with hashtags then drastically lowered the bar as to what constitutes "harassment". When anon used to send death threats to someone, they'd actually call the faggot by phone or at least send a threatening voice message. Nowadays though? Any dumbass can just send a "threatening" tweet using a throwaway account and the "victim" would cry bloody murder.

Compared to what used to happen in the late 2000's, whatever that the SJWs are claiming to be victims of is practically miniscule, because anon has gotten a lot softer over the years.

That's why I can take comfort in believing that whatever happened to them was well-deserved, because it could've been MUCH' worse.

Seriously, can you imagine what would've happened if GG started in 2007 instead of 2014? Shit, the LWs would've probably killed themselves in the first week or so.

Man I got a friend that fills up my feed every day with cosplay girls. You know, great and stuff, I have no problem with that, but it signifies his beta thirst and then he starts posting the "DON'T BE MEAN TO GAMER GIRLS" memes (as if anyone is actually mean to them in the first place) and similar SJW crap trying to get his cuck points with them.

I want to throw up and defriend him, but more importantly I need ways to convert these lost pussies back into being men again. A stable of techniques seems worth creating to do this, anti-SJW deprogramming codified anyone?

Kinda funny and weird how once Anonymous starting going up against real enemies with real institutional power, who are actually shitting up the real world, it gave up its most powerful weapons.

>how can people be so deluded?

maybe lurk /pol/, but with your state of mind I'd refrain for the time being

but basically, this is the result of a series of geopolitical strategies designed to keep working classes distracted/occupied by causing infighting (this causes women to hate men, gays to hate straights, blacks to hate whites, etc), alongside what's in the water and food we all consume, educational institutions (especially academia), and manipulative mainstream media - together, these rewire the brain from a very young age to believe that black is actually white, up is actually down, and bad is actually good

remember that SJWs, as comically evil as they seem, are also victims of this cycle - they are simply symptoms of a disease, not the root cause

>I'm now scared to death that my past involvement with GamerGate can be dug up and cause me employment problems since I work as a programmer.

like you, I worked under a pseudonym but kept a relatively low profile - it may eventually come to haunt me, but the majority of programmers support what we're doing here

if it's ever brought up, just explain that gamergate opposes cultural marxists a.k.a. actual communists, and that the ringleaders were scared of what was uncovered under the hashtag (potentially career-destroying probably illegal evidence), so they used misinformation and self-victimization to shame people into not knowing the truth

>How do you cope with the crippling anxiety?

cannabis and following @broteampill on twitter

also I actually find gamergate and everything that's happened over the past year fucking hilarious

once someone steals your laughter, they steal your soul - don't ever let them take your soul, anon

>being blamed for mythological heinous acts that you had no part in?

tell them about xbro and maybe mention the Doom dev that laughed at feminist frequency's E3 comments, and how SJWs tried to get him fired and ruin his life for it (there are a LOT of examples like this) - tell him how this has had a chilling effect on the industry, and that there are testimonials that game devs have been too afraid to even speak out about this, lest they lose their jobs

It'll still be here when you get back, but you gotta prioritize your own health and well being above all else, or else you'll just end up hurting yourself.

Play some videogames, watch some tv, or somesuch.

Shit, there are boards other than this one here you know, I post on /k/ and /pol/ and occasionally /co/ when I'm not here.

Hell, today is the most I've posted on hq in a month at least, and that's just because of revoltfags shitting up the board with their stupid smears.

If I've learned anything in the last year + it's that this shit ebbs and flows, and you need to learn to ride the tide, or else you'll get swept away.

Here's how I deal with GG exhaustion.

I breathe, calm down, remind myself that I'm doing this for the benefit of games as an art form, remind myself that I'm doing this so games can be free from he tampering of professional stickybeaks and busybodies.I'm in #GamerGate because a video games deserve to do whatever the fuck they want.

Then I turn around, pick a video game I feel is worth defending, and I fucking play it.
