First cousin of Alex here with my response-
How are you still such a huge entitled asshole, Alex?
""I'd written him off two years ago," Lifschitz says, saying that they had a modern sort of family dispute. Cousin said something vile and "misogynistic" on Facebook""
My cousin accuses people of misogyny all the time. That isn't the same thing as being a misogynist. Pretty simple, right? I was posting a Facebook status about the 2012 election and my cousin arrogantly decided to wade in and call me a misogynist. He's always been comfortable in carelessly accusing anyone he has a problem with as being a misogynist or any other label he sees fit. If only people could see his old facebook posts about how he felt entitled to girls but they always chose better looking assholes over him. It was Elliot Rodger-esque, but no one knows about that stuff, and it's long gone now.
"Lifschitz unfriended and blocked. Done and done. Once GamerGate got into full swing, however, this cousin reappeared online, and he had become a fully fledged GamerGate member—a potentially dangerous one at that."
I don't give a shit about gamergate/anti gamergate. I've never used the hashtag, but again Alex says whatever he wants to say. It's one of the weirdest issues I've ever seen. But I do 100% support anyone else who sees you for the huge condescending phony prick you are.
"He allegedly began directing social media posts (from "three sockpuppet accounts") at Quinn and Lifschitz full of the kind of information only a family member might know."
Yeah, I think it's worth knowing that while Alex is grandstanding all over the internet, he's actually a slimy awful person in his real day to day life. And it's pretty infuriating that him and Zoe call themselves homeless. Have you ever seen a homeless person getting $4,000 a month? People can give money to whatever they want. But them claiming homelessness is very insulting to actual homeless people.
""He was so dumb about it," Lifschitz said.
Said the guy who has half the internet harassing him with no end in sight...
"He used his old handle from a music forum for one. He used his old OKCupid handle for another. And he started sending personal information at me about my family, when people were looking for things to attack me with and put my family in danger.""
I wasn't trying to hide anything. I think that's obvious given how easily you could find those names I used. My name was taken so I used other names. You know how you use your dumb vontendy name instead of Alex Lifschitz? Kind of like that.
"After telling some family members, Lifschitz asked them to hold off on taking any action so that he could watch what his cousin might say or do as a "case study" for how Internet harassers and trolls act. Eventually, after compiling enough screenshots and proof of identity, "We had that cathartic thing we all want to do with Internet trolls: we told his parents!""
No, Alex didn't tell my parents anything. He ran to his brother/daddy and asked them to write my parents something. Yes, irreverent tough guy Alex Lifschitz ran to his daddy, who composed an email to my parents. They don't know what the hell gamergate is, and their response was "this is really stupid and annoying, just do whatever his dad's asking for so he'll leave us alone". And then his Dad threatened to sue me or take me to moon court or something.
So I'd like to formally go on record and say that the rumors are true: my cousin Alex is a huge asshole, and is fully deserving of any criticism that has come his way over the past year. Just don't go too far or he'll tell his daddy on you and threaten to sue you/take you to moon court. Anyone who's got any other questions about Alex can email me. Happy to answer questions!
