The Vendetta Against Feminists: Compiling the Damage
This is my response to the blokes claiming that feminists just ‘make up’ harassment for ‘attention’ or ‘money’ or whatever excuse sounds most convenient. I’ll be focussing on modern feminists, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this shite’s been occurring longer than I’ve been alive. User contributions are strongly encouraged. I should also note that much of the content in these links are not for the faint of heart, so if you can’t stomach misogyny or threats of violence, you are excused. This compilation is by no means complete!
Tiger Beatdown:
A weblog that was under the operation of some feminists. In 2011, an author revealed that she and her readers were getting threats of violence, and some were being stalked. As of this writing, the weblog has not been updated since June 2013.
Chanty Binx:
‘She was part of a feminist protest against an MRA event in Toronto in 2013. She was attempting to read a statement clarifying that feminists don't hate men, but she kept getting interrupted by a heckler. She finally lost her temper and blew up royally at him. An MRA recorded the blowup free of context and put it on YouTube, making her the poster child of the "feminazi" stereotype and used in just about every anti-feminist meme since. For the past three years, she's been forced into hiding and had to leave her activism from non-stop rape and death threats, including multiple doxxings. Just as things were starting to die down, a liquor store employee recognized her while she was shopping and stole the security cam footage to post screenshots on the internet, expressing confusion as to why she didn't randomly freak out at him like he learned feminists were supposed to. The harassment renewed, and then intensified when she decided to speak to the press about it. The liquor store clerk was predictably fired, but the usual suspects are blaming her for getting him fired over "first world problems."’
Pinkiepony:
Basically, she’s an old school My Little Pony follower who was critical of an unofficial, highly popular webcomic which caricatured one of the characters as a rapist. Hasbro ordered that the artist take down his comic, which he did, but the community blamed Pinkiepony for it. Lots of shite went by, including the usual threats. Here’s a video explaining it.
Zoë Quinn:
A feminist and amateur game designer. There’s a lot to say here. She created a game called Depression Quest which is text‐based and about what you’d expect from the title. There was a rumour that she slept with somebody employed for the journal Kotaku so that he’d give her game a positive review, but no such writing has ever been documented. In spite of that, she was subjected to endless harassment, and some creep even wrote a rapefic about her and tried to make money off of it.
Anita Sarkeesian:
This one’s a given. One particular bloke, who goes under the pseudonym of ‘Thunderf00t’, seems to have dedicated the rest of his life trying to undo her.
Brianna Wu:
‘A video game developer who committed the ‘offence’ of retweeting some Advice Animal macros making fun of Gamergaters. John "Totalbiscuit" Bain pounced on her to accuse her of "injecting herself into the conversation," and his zombies dogpiled her along with the rest of GG. She was harassed out of her home (though GG insists she never left, they ‘have proof’), and for some reason GGers are obsessed with proving that she is a transwoman.’ More information.
Cat DeSpira:
A feminist (or alleged one) who focusses on classical games. Harassment against her gained traction after Gamergate hit. She attracted the attention of a gamer named Rudy J. Ferretti, who has a creepy vendetta against here. Blokes who used to be her friends joined in on harassing her, while others enabled and egged on Ferretti out of fear of what he would do if they opposed him. Still others cut ties with her after they began to believe all the bollocks Ferretti was saying about her.
The harassment has hurt her professionally & pushed her out of the retro gaming community, & she even had to leave her own documentary project after her producers decided to appease Ferretti by casting him in it (the latest in a long line of instances where they took creative control away from her), with plans to blame her when he inevitably was dissatisfied with his portrayal. To this day, despite her leaving the scene, both Ferretti and his cabal of zombies continue to stalk her.




Just a correction for the Retrobitch entry. Her internet handle is Cat DeSpira. Also, I don't know how much of a feminist she is, as she said she never made any feminist arguments while a part of the community (which didn't stop Ferretti from asserting she was a 'radical feminist writer'). Further, you might want to add that harassment against her gained traction after Gamergate hit. Guys who used to be her friends joined in on harassing her, while others enabled and egged on Ferretti out of fear of what he would do if they opposed him. Still others cut ties with her after they began to believe all the crap Ferretti was saying about her.

Updated, thanks. On a side note, do you have a summary about Brianna Wu?
A video game developer who committed the horrible crime of retweeting some Advice Animal macros making fun of Gamergaters. John "Totalbiscuit" Bain pounced on her to accuse her of "injecting herself into the conversation," and his fans dogpiled her along with the rest of GG. She was harassed out of her home (though GG insists she never left, THEY HAVE PROOF!!1!1!!), and for some reason Gators are obsessed with proving that she is a transwoman.
What's up? Mel here. I'm friends with Cat. That little bitch Rudy threatened to "close down my business like he closed down Twin Galaxies". But really he's just a little 40 something piece of shit who pissed his life away writing mean things about people on the internet who "don't give him the attention he deserves". Really dude? You got some highscores on some shit games that no one gives a fuck about. He also had to move back with his mom in Nevada because he couldn't cut it in Hollywood (for obvious reasons). Anyways, this guy is a problem. I'd like to see him taken out. Best way is to report the hate videos still listed on his YouTube Channel. His biggest fear is getting those taken down because it's the only place there's proof of any semblance of any life accomplishment. You take that out? The troll bridge will cave in on itself. He's washed up and can't do shit.
Sadly, with people denying this, you won't really achieve anything, especially since they zone out once they hear particular names (like Bynx).
