“They realized I was making fun of them with those videos,” Rankowski said. “I started it as a joke, but it’s become far too real and I wish I could take it all back.”

 

[Squealer]

I can't tell if Jan means that or not. Leaning towards him fucking with Buzzfeed.

The article seems sympathetic to Jan, but it could have done without the "He doesn't have it nearly as bad as the female anti-GGs!" at the end.

I can't tell if Jan means that or not. Leaning towards him fucking with Buzzfeed.

I'm pretty sure he's just trolling them. I mean, he said the Jace character was created to parody Gamergate.

Jan, you so craze

I have this newfound respect for the people who are having to deal with Gamergate, Brianna Wu and Anita [Sarkeesian].”

 

[Tiresome]

I'm pretty sure he's just trolling them. I mean, he said the Jace character was created to parody Gamergate.

No, he said he eventually took on the GamerGate persona.

"For Rankowski, the character was a catchall way to lampoon nerd culture. “The Jace character was just a lens through which I do satire,” he said. “Youtube streamers; Call of Duty gamers. Gamergate was the next in a long line.”"

The article hit Ghazi a little while ago, and to put it lightly, they're both pissed and in denial about the ruse.

Jan is not going to disappoint us. Based Jan

"something called Kiwi Farm"

i love how you can feel the wtf in the author's fingers as he types that

 

[Kosher Dill]

No, he said he eventually took on the GamerGate persona.

Yeah I was referring to the earlier part:
"Rankowski told BuzzFeed News that he intended to satirize “the over the top, super-hyper-macho armed Gamergater” "
Not that there's any point reading too deeply into a Buzzfeed piece.

God bless you, Jan.

 

[Dr. Meme]

After the car crash video brought a swarm of attention to the Connors character, users of obscure internet fora (4chan, 8chan and something called Kiwi Farm)

what the fuck is a kiwi farm

 

[Lipitor]

what the fuck is a kiwi farm

It's where the gamergate cult lives. They organize on 4chan, but they all live at kiwi farm. It's one big lan party I hear.

 

[Kool Kid Kue]

press 1 for ruse wolf

 

[manosoffate]

Wowowowow. God I love MDE more than I ever thought possible. This writer is going to cry when he realizes how silly they have made him look. Also "something called Kiwi Farm" lol

 

[NZDROW]

Also, incoming Buzzfeed damage control. 8chan is giggling like a bitch right now at this.

 

[DN 420]

i hope this is what jan meant when he said things were just beginning and that he's going to continue rusing like this.

what the fuck is a kiwi farm

[Golly]

I agree its not necessary to the piece but it is undoubtedly true.
