TGWTG Dan Olson / Folding Ideas - Pseudo-Intellectual Hipster, Child Pornographer, and All-Around Exceptional Individual

This might be a retarded question, but if Canadian law classes swimsuit pictures as CP, does that mean Neverending Story II is banned there due to the scene at the swimming pool? I'm guessing it's more about context, such as creeper shots etc.
NE2 should be banned anyway, but for being shit
 
Dan at best is a colossal idiot that keeps fucking up, why would any one want to be associated with him even in the best case scenario?
I get the feeling he's that guy that gets pulled into a group of friends because (initially) you feel sorry for him, and by the time you realize what a despicable shitheel he is you can't figure out a way to cut him loose.
 
For those that don't know, there was a secret anti-Gamergate chat group assembled sometime after Gamergate happened in August 2014, it was on IRC chats, Google Hangouts, and Skype before moving to slack/Discord/whatever as time progressed and their paranoia prompted them to try and find a more secure service. In early 2015, many members of this group transitioned into the volunteers for Zoe Quinn's scam Crash Override Network, and after that died in early 2016 some of the former members of CON and this chat group began speaking out about it. One of them even leaked logs from when the group was using Skype dating from late December 2014 and early January 2015.

Dan Olson was revealed as a member of this group, which also included Chelsea Van Valkenburg/Zoe Quinn herself, Jake Alley aka secretgamergirl, self-declared pedophile Nicholas 'sarah butts' Nyberg, and some other fucked up people. The group, Dan included, actually bent over backwards to cover up for Nyberg after his history of pedophilia was uncovered. For instance, the group was using a Trello to organize themselves and paint targets for them to collectively go after, including 8chan, various people who had been supporting Gamergate (some were even targeted for tweeting at a member of the group just one time), and Encyclopedia Dramatica. In a Trello entry from February 2nd, 2015 you can see they were still going after ED for daring to have made an article about Nyberg months before (the group also filed online police reports against someone for tweeting a link to the article).

The following excerpt from the leaked Skype chat shows the group had been targeting 8chan since at least early September 2014, because Gamergate was using the image board after 4chan decided users weren't allowed to talk about it there.

[31/12/2014, 5:16:58 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: Along with the fact that 8chan was founded a year ago pretty well exclusively as a child porn site, and yet everyone in GG somehow magically knew to go there to find new threads when they were booted off 4chon
[31/12/2014, 5:17:20 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: like salmon, homing in on the rivers they were born in
[31/12/2014, 5:19:35 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: Come to think of it, I still have no clue why it took github to kick'em
[31/12/2014, 5:21:05 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: I was e-mailing them from like, early september and getting back "what's the problem exactly? I'm still not seeing it" so I assume someone with a personal connection eventually spoke up

On December 23rd, 2014, we can see they made an "incident" entry on the Trello involving Dan Olson's Medium blog where he had downloaded what he himself claimed to be child pornography in an attempt to attack 8chan. You would think if Olson and the rest of the group actually cared about potential child victims of pedophiles that they would be discussing ways to signal boost to anti-sex trafficking groups or donate to victim support groups, but no, this was just about Gamergate.

I don't think anyone has ever specifically looked for Dan's activity in the Skype logs, so we're going to take a look. Note that the logs are I believe 13 hours ahead of EST time zone and seem to be 15 ahead of Dan's location, and "drinternetphd" is Zoe Quinn. I will also be pruning the copy-pasted logs a bit to remove lines that are unrelated to Dan, and including the archive link to the log so you can see the full thing if you wish. I believe every single chat archive from the leak contains some activity from Dan (even on Christmas), I won't be including every single comment from him as a lot is dull like him talking about his sewing machine or random video games.
This first batch looks to be from December 22nd, 2014 and we can find Dan celebrating! that he had finished the Medium post. He mentions being able to close his tabs and specifically mentions /hebe/, the board that he used as evidence in the blog post and the board which is tied to Wesley "Laurelai" Bailey as the board owner linked to a site hosted on Laurelai's server alongside his other sites such as SJWiki. Disturbingly, we see Olson thank "Ms. Butts" aka pedophile Nick Nyberg for tweeting out the Medium article, and based off this and later log entries they seem to be quite friendly with each other. (At this point I don't think anyone knew what Nyberg really was, not that it changed anything for Dan and the others when the sick truth came out) http://archive.is/G2531
[23/12/2014, 11:38:59 AM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: https://twitter.com/srhbutts/status/547228013176557569 i linked it here btw dan
upload_2018-4-15_21-32-36.png

[23/12/2014, 11:39:15 AM] Dan Olson: Oh, man, the article is done! I can close all these windows!
[23/12/2014, 11:39:44 AM] Dan Olson: No more tabs of statutes on obscenity laws! No more /hebe/!
[23/12/2014, 11:40:13 AM] Dan Olson: You get a Command-W! And you get a Command-W! Everyone gets a Command-W!!!
[23/12/2014, 11:40:16 AM] Peter Coffin: probably feels good

[23/12/2014, 11:43:16 AM] Dan Olson: Thanks, Ms. Butts!

[23/12/2014, 1:07:18 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: dan want to throw poros with me and charlotte? :3 if you're not busy
[23/12/2014, 1:07:20 PM] Dan Olson: I like a lot of the more radical things they're doing with champ design, though. Like Abathur is frikkin' cool design, even if he's garbage when you're not on VOIP with your team.


[23/12/2014, 1:07:35 PM] Dan Olson: heck yes
It turned out that downloading what Dan himself labeled as child porn, editing it, and the uploading it to Medium, all to antagonize and attack Gamergate, was not the smartest thing to do. People started calling for Dan to be reported to Canadian law enforcement and Dan said he was going to "pre-emptively call" the RCMP. You can also see Nyberg, the self-admitted pedophile, squirming because 8chan users were working on doxing him in response to him tweeting out Dan's Medium blog and provoking them.
[23/12/2014, 3:32:04 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: 8chans trying to dox me again
[23/12/2014, 3:32:19 PM] Athena Hollow: ofc
[23/12/2014, 3:32:25 PM] nicholas.boterf: I’m sorry Sarah.
[23/12/2014, 3:39:11 PM] SF: This implies to me further every "find" right now is random flailing because they're mad.
[23/12/2014, 3:39:21 PM] Ian Cheong: welp
[23/12/2014, 3:39:21 PM] Ian Cheong: https://archive.today/V6t17
[23/12/2014, 3:39:34 PM] SF: If you want to be evil, post false leads under anon.
[23/12/2014, 3:40:16 PM] SF: what's the significance of the archive?
[23/12/2014, 3:40:22 PM] Ian Cheong: that medium page no longer exists.
[23/12/2014, 3:40:23 PM] Ian Cheong: but uh
[23/12/2014, 3:40:33 PM] Ian Cheong: it has blurred our child pornography on it
[23/12/2014, 3:40:34 PM] Ian Cheong: out
[23/12/2014, 3:40:36 PM] Ian Cheong: blurred out
[23/12/2014, 3:40:39 PM] Ian Cheong: not blurred our
[23/12/2014, 3:40:49 PM] SF: Yeah that's Dan Olson's article.
[23/12/2014, 3:41:01 PM] Ian Cheong: GGers are saying that makes him accomplice to the CP
[23/12/2014, 3:41:13 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: the medium page is down? it's up for me
[23/12/2014, 3:41:25 PM] Ian Cheong: ah, must be my ISP again
[23/12/2014, 3:41:49 PM] Dan Olson: I should probably copy the text into a google doc at the very least
[23/12/2014, 3:41:56 PM] Dan Olson: it would suck to lose hours of writing
[23/12/2014, 3:42:00 PM] Ian Cheong: yeah
[23/12/2014, 3:42:31 PM] Ian Cheong: KIA is going pretty nuts over it.
[23/12/2014, 3:42:41 PM] Ian Cheong: also i didn't realize you were in here!
[23/12/2014, 3:42:48 PM] nicholas.boterf: Definitely. GamerGate is going to mass report it.
[23/12/2014, 3:43:16 PM] Ian Cheong: they're going to try to get you in trouble with it, because it's CP, and you had to see it to blur it.
[23/12/2014, 3:43:32 PM] drinternetphd: so
[23/12/2014, 3:43:36 PM] drinternetphd: isn't this cernovich actually trying to swat someone
[23/12/2014, 3:43:49 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: link?
[23/12/2014, 3:43:58 PM] drinternetphd: his timeline right now
[23/12/2014, 3:44:05 PM] Ian Cheong: Checking it.
[23/12/2014, 3:44:06 PM] drinternetphd: he's calling for people to brigade dan for cp
[23/12/2014, 3:44:15 PM] Ian Cheong: oh shit.
[23/12/2014, 3:44:21 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: Well then yes
[23/12/2014, 3:44:22 PM] Dan Olson: What's funny is that it's Schrödinger's Pornography. By trying to get me in trouble for the article they have to admit that the content is illegal.
[23/12/2014, 3:44:29 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: possibly
[23/12/2014, 3:44:55 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: although I think swatting has a much more specific definition
[23/12/2014, 3:44:58 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: i don't know if i should delete my tweet or not :\ they're trying to dox me
[23/12/2014, 3:45:15 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: what would deleting do to prevent that?
[23/12/2014, 3:45:27 PM] Dan Olson: Might prevent further runaway?
[23/12/2014, 3:45:42 PM] Dan Olson: Maybe, I'm not sure. Do what you need to do to feel safe.
[23/12/2014, 3:45:45 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: that would be the idea. but they'd also see it as an admissan of wrongdoing
[23/12/2014, 3:45:52 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: worse
[23/12/2014, 3:46:06 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: they'd start speculating on the horrible content that made you delete a tweet
[23/12/2014, 3:46:14 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: they do that when people make a freaking typo
[23/12/2014, 3:47:06 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: https://twitter.com/PlayDangerously/status/547297022424793088 -_-
[23/12/2014, 3:47:40 PM] SF: Cernovich is searching for anything to do with this it seems.
[23/12/2014, 3:47:53 PM] Dan Olson: I'm going to pre-emptively call the RCMP

As Nyberg started trying to get others to tweet out the Medium blog so the focus moved off himself, Dan mentioned that he was going to need to take anxiety meds soon.
[23/12/2014, 4:24:32 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: does anyone else feel comfortable tweeting links to dan's article
[23/12/2014, 4:24:36 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: i have them focusing on just me
[23/12/2014, 4:24:38 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: i know its a lot to ask
[23/12/2014, 4:24:54 PM] Charloppe: yes
[23/12/2014, 4:25:04 PM] SF: I'm trying to hit a lot of keywords and not mention you directly.
[23/12/2014, 4:25:14 PM] SF: By our powers combined
[23/12/2014, 4:25:24 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: just tweet the link about 8chan hosting it and link his article, that should take some heat off
[23/12/2014, 4:25:24 PM] Athena Hollow: I may have just gotten mad on twitter >_>
[23/12/2014, 4:26:43 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: athena do you feel comfortable tweeting out dans article
[23/12/2014, 4:27:05 PM] drinternetphd: you should ask futrelle
[23/12/2014, 4:27:17 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: i'm asking futrelle now
[23/12/2014, 4:27:19 PM] Ian Cheong: 8chan hosts and condones the sharing and discussion of child pornography. Proof: https://medium.com/@FoldableHuman/the-mods-are-always-asleep-7f750f879fc (via @foldablehuman)
[23/12/2014, 4:27:22 PM] Ian Cheong: how's this sound
[23/12/2014, 4:27:30 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: sounds good
[23/12/2014, 4:27:46 PM] drinternetphd: alex RTed it
[23/12/2014, 4:28:09 PM] Athena Hollow: i DID.
[23/12/2014, 4:28:13 PM] Athena Hollow: err sorry caps was still on
[23/12/2014, 4:28:13 PM] Athena Hollow: LOL
[23/12/2014, 4:28:33 PM] Charloppe: did it sarah
[23/12/2014, 4:29:01 PM] Dan Olson: I'm finding this wave surprisingly easy to ride at the moment, but I just know I'm gonna need some Ativan in about ten minutes.
[23/12/2014, 4:29:41 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: would alex feel comfortable posting a link directly? they'd take that more seriously than a RT
[23/12/2014, 4:29:51 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: ty, btw, ian
[23/12/2014, 4:29:59 PM] Ian Cheong: np
[23/12/2014, 4:30:27 PM] drinternetphd: well thing is, we're at a place they have dox on right now
[23/12/2014, 4:30:27 PM] drinternetphd: so
[23/12/2014, 4:30:31 PM] drinternetphd: I kinda wish he hadn't
[23/12/2014, 4:30:37 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: its cool
[23/12/2014, 4:30:37 PM] drinternetphd: or that we'd talked about it first
[23/12/2014, 4:30:46 PM] drinternetphd: considering I've been getting raided pretty fucking hard all day
[23/12/2014, 4:31:03 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: :\
[23/12/2014, 4:31:21 PM] Dan Olson: Let's all take our anxiety meds together! Team building exercise!

It's worth stressing here that this was all being conducted in secrecy, nobody outside the chat group knew it existed until 2016, although there were suspicions of course. They started having panic attacks and planning on doing "monitor duty," with Zoe herself saying she would be "keeping an eye on" Dan and Nyberg.
[23/12/2014, 4:32:35 PM] SF: Is it awful I wish I was a known person to these people just so I could stop being tense about the other shoe finally dropping
[23/12/2014, 4:32:38 PM] Charloppe: urg feeling a slight panic attack coming on
[23/12/2014, 4:32:40 PM] SF: Because I know it's inevitable.
[23/12/2014, 4:32:47 PM] Charloppe: hate this feeling
[23/12/2014, 4:32:54 PM] Ian Cheong: I know that feeling.
[23/12/2014, 4:33:24 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: oh sorry, let me see if I still have them...
[23/12/2014, 4:33:29 PM] Charloppe: the crushing chest sensation I will never get used to
[23/12/2014, 4:33:43 PM] SF: We joke about how pathetic they are but at moments like these try to remember that they are in all seriousness. This is all they'll ever be known for. All of us will outshine them by merely surviving.
[23/12/2014, 4:33:56 PM] SF: And I don't think any of us is content with merely surviving.
[23/12/2014, 4:36:59 PM] drinternetphd: I just put on coffee so I can do monitor duty
[23/12/2014, 4:38:06 PM] SF: Can we do any more to help? I can stay up if necessary.
[23/12/2014, 4:39:39 PM] Charloppe: I only ask for you all to keep a eye on sarah.
[23/12/2014, 4:39:48 PM] drinternetphd: I'm keeping an eye on her and dan
[23/12/2014, 4:40:20 PM] Charloppe: thank you and you too dan.
[23/12/2014, 4:40:58 PM] Dan Olson: Take care. As my friend Matthew is no doubt going to tell me the moment he sees what I stirred up: practice self-care, you are worth it.
[23/12/2014, 4:41:14 PM] Ian Cheong: Hey, we're like a family right.
[23/12/2014, 4:41:51 PM] Charloppe: considering I have said more then a word in this chat I would have to agree :3
[23/12/2014, 4:43:59 PM] Peter Coffin: I care about all of you, at very least. If you consider that family then I do.

Their chat was split into two chat rooms, the serious chat was supposed to be where they discussed their ops and other matters that they felt needed to be secured under 2FA, which was required to be invited to the room. They had the serious chat going this day and the leaker had logs from it, I'm going to try to chronologically put these log excerpts in order. http://archive.is/3J6Dg

Dan said that Gamergate was "digging their own grave" by reporting his Medium blog because mass reporting "just creates a loop back to the offending boards" and he believed the FBI and RCMP wouldn't care about him and would instead go after the source where he downloaded his CP.
[23/12/2014, 6:04:41 PM] Ian Cheong: Great.
[23/12/2014, 6:07:08 PM] Ian Cheong: So RogueStar is saying he's reporting me to the FBI for 'redistributing CP'
[23/12/2014, 6:08:06 PM] Dan Olson: yeah, they're all pearl clutching with feigned dignity "I DIDN'T EVEN OPEN THE ARTICLE, BUT I'M REPORTING YOU!" which, you know, fair enough if it was actually in violation of anything.
[23/12/2014, 6:08:25 PM] Ian Cheong: Yeah it's really not in violation of anything which is the funny part.
[23/12/2014, 6:08:46 PM] Dan Olson: and they're digging their own grave
[23/12/2014, 6:09:07 PM] Dan Olson: as I mentioned in the article, the only reason it's still there is a matter of inertia and exposure
[23/12/2014, 6:09:23 PM] Dan Olson: by mass reporting anything related to this it just creates a loop back to the offending boards.
[23/12/2014, 6:10:21 PM] Alex Lifschitz: Yeah, so much of getting things done with them is letting them be butt holes out in the open.
[23/12/2014, 6:10:33 PM] Dan Olson: if GG morons spam the FBI and RCMP with hundreds of "this dude screencapped CP then censored it so that he could write an article about it!" they're going to go "oooooh, what's this website he's talking about again?????"
[23/12/2014, 6:11:15 PM] Alex Lifschitz: Yeah.
[23/12/2014, 6:11:34 PM] Alex Lifschitz: Like I was talking about with Zoe earlier: Hold steady, document, and wait for them to bare their throat before you rip it out.

Dan was "keeping [himself] busy" by "thanking everyone who sent [him] pet pic or wished [him] a merry Christmas."
[23/12/2014, 6:43:18 PM] Dan Olson: Yeah, fortunately my feed is a solid miix of GGers yelling at each other and people sending me kittens and bunnies and their pets
[23/12/2014, 6:43:19 PM] Athena Hollow: But yeah... that's what iwant to yell at them.
[23/12/2014, 6:43:25 PM] Athena Hollow: hahahah
[23/12/2014, 6:43:33 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: I swear, they'd all die of attention starvation if not for Kav AMiB Astrophilia and Jenni
[23/12/2014, 6:43:40 PM] Athena Hollow: I wish that were the case.
[23/12/2014, 6:43:42 PM] Dan Olson: so I'm keeping myself busy thanking everyone who sent me pet pic or wished me a merry Christmas.

To Dan, libertarians go hand in hand with "Nazis."
[23/12/2014, 6:58:45 PM] Dan Olson: I'm so sad that Transhumanism is so full of Libertarian/Nazi trash.
[23/12/2014, 6:59:16 PM] Dan Olson: When they build better eyeballs than the ones in my head I'm first in line.

Dan unironically joked about "collusion" after someone correctly surmised that he was friends with Zoe and that is why he made the Medium blog, while he was in a secret invite-only chat room with Zoe where they had planned the Medium post.
[23/12/2014, 7:14:05 PM] drinternetphd: also dan apparently we are friends http://i.gyazo.com/8cfcf2dec00f0b60c135e1bfca255655.png
upload_2018-4-15_23-16-43.png

[23/12/2014, 7:14:09 PM] drinternetphd: as of a few months ago
[23/12/2014, 7:14:24 PM] drinternetphd: because you covered my game apparently?
[23/12/2014, 7:14:31 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: rofl
[23/12/2014, 7:14:45 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: i never knew i was friends with miyamoto! charlottes going to be so excited
[23/12/2014, 7:14:55 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: hahaha

[23/12/2014, 7:15:47 PM] Dan Olson: And that episode was supr collusion with much unethical since we met for all of, what, 3 minutes at PAX?

[23/12/2014, 7:16:44 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: well now you're having a pleasant chat in some sort of secret "anti-GG" chat
[23/12/2014, 7:17:00 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: so as soon as you hop in your time machine, it's suddenly valid criticism.

In the "serious" chat, Dan excitedly talked about Gamergate "melting down." I haven't looked up the other chat member's tweets about the article, but we can see the first one, Nyberg's up above, where he explicitly included #gamergate, so it is weird that Dan is acting like his blog has nothing to do with Gamergate. According to Dan, this attack should have been the "'perfect' chance" for Gamergate to "distance itself" and "feign concern" (because, after months of dehumanizing them, "GG" is now just a hivemind for him) and he doesn't understand why people were reacting as if it was an attack on them, while he is sitting in two invite-only chat rooms with Zoe Quinn.
[23/12/2014, 7:18:22 PM] Dan Olson: They're melting down.
[23/12/2014, 7:18:45 PM] Dan Olson: It has absolutely fuck all to do with GG beyond 8chan as a communal platform.
[23/12/2014, 7:18:55 PM] Dan Olson: I didn't mention GG once.
[23/12/2014, 7:20:37 PM] Dan Olson: This is the *perfect* chance for GG to just straight up distance itself, suggest that maybe the rules are skirting the law a little too close, blah blah blah feign concern, re-write the site's rules to be vaguely more stringent on paper, tweet lots about how they're "ashamed of this behaviour" and "they didn't know it was this bad" but "super excited for the future"
[23/12/2014, 7:20:56 PM] Dan Olson: NOPE
[23/12/2014, 7:21:11 PM] drinternetphd: go on down with that ship you dumb fucks
[23/12/2014, 7:21:12 PM] Dan Olson: LET ALL FLIP OUR SHIT AND TAKE IT PERSONALLY!

The chat group was having doubts that anyone was actually reporting Dan to the authorities, Dan knew they were at least attempting to do so.
[23/12/2014, 7:23:13 PM] Dan Olson: I just wanna say I picked a DAMN good title.
[23/12/2014, 7:23:56 PM] Dan Olson: It's short, it fits in every tweet, and for those in "the lingo" it cuts right to the god damn bone.
[23/12/2014, 7:25:28 PM] Ian Cheong: You know, I don't believe any of them reported you to the FBI.
[23/12/2014, 7:25:48 PM] Ian Cheong: They're like those kids who play World of Warcraft and scream "REPORTED!!!!" when you argue with them.
[23/12/2014, 7:25:51 PM] Athena Hollow: lol
[23/12/2014, 7:26:15 PM] Dan Olson: I know they tried to report me to the RCMP, because they were complaining that the RCMP doesn't take anonymous tips internationally.
Dan was such a good little member of this clique that he volunteered to take over "monitoring" so Zoe could "work on her book pitch," which her boyfriend Alex said had "the best capacity to affect change."
[23/12/2014, 7:54:25 PM] Alex Lifschitz: FTR: We're going to start trying to pull away on the monitoring stuff as Zoe takes some time to work on her book pitch. That needs to keep going and has the best capacity to affect change.
[23/12/2014, 7:54:31 PM] Alex Lifschitz: This is kind of a Children of Men scenario.
[23/12/2014, 7:55:40 PM] Dan Olson: I can pick up some monitoring slack.

Dan believed he wasn't going to get in trouble for viewing, downloading, and then uploading edited images of what he considered CP, claiming that Canada's "protections for investigative reporting" would protect him. (The "Rob" seen in these logs is Rob Marmolejo, as with others he went on to be part of Crash Override Network, and was accused of sexually harassing at least twenty women, possibly getting their contact info through CON. )
[23/12/2014, 7:47:17 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: you missed a lot, rob x-x
[23/12/2014, 7:49:42 PM] Rob: I did?
[23/12/2014, 7:51:57 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: Actual sleep needed now.
[23/12/2014, 7:55:32 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: rob: dan posted an article exposing 8chan hosting sexual pictures of children. GG is now trying to report him to the FBI
[23/12/2014, 7:56:32 PM] Rob: Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooow
[23/12/2014, 8:00:21 PM] Dan Olson: Yeah.
[23/12/2014, 8:00:47 PM] Dan Olson: Twitter has died down to 3 notifications per minute so I'm gonna go to bed.
[23/12/2014, 8:02:27 PM] Rob: Later, sir. Take care of yourself.
[23/12/2014, 8:03:34 PM] Alex Lifschitz: Yeah, no worries. Check on with the chat tomorrow if you see something alarming.
[23/12/2014, 8:04:05 PM] Alex Lifschitz: Remember that they huff and puff and manufacture evidence to score points with each other, and there's no way the authorities would touch you and not 8chan. Or you at all, really.
[23/12/2014, 8:05:25 PM] Rob: Yeah, and if anything?
[23/12/2014, 8:05:33 PM] Rob: Them filing a bunch of bullshit with the FBI will only hurt them
[23/12/2014, 8:05:37 PM] Rob: false reports = bad news bears
[23/12/2014, 8:05:41 PM] Rob: LEOs hate having their time wasted.
[23/12/2014, 8:05:41 PM] Dan Olson: Canada has very good protections for investigative reporting.
[23/12/2014, 8:06:05 PM] Rob: So if they're sending in all kinds of bullshit false reports, it's far more likely they'll get arrested than anything else.
[23/12/2014, 8:06:32 PM] Dan Olson: It's part of why we produce world class documentary content, and have several of the highest rated media/journalism schools in the world.

Edit: It looks like I have the spoiler glitch going on and it looks like there's too much text for it to handle in one post, will have to cut it apart and post the other segments later.

Dan Olson perfectly exemplifies everything I can not understand about the SJW side of the political spectrum.

You will go out of your way to try and destroy people that oppose you.

You try to shame and guilt people into compliance.

You will cover up for someone on your side when they do wrong because it gives the other side ammunition.

And you act like a pseudointellectual piece of garbage while your at it.

With all of that, it never dawns on you that maybe what you're doing is wrong and how you are going about getting your message out there is wrong.

I mean if your ideas were truly better than those that oppose you, then you wouldn't have to do all this garbage to take them down and you could just let them hang themselves with their own words.

And in cases like the Jewwario situation, how am I supposed to respect you if you openly admit to hiding the truth because it would give the other side legitimacy? So destroying your opponents is more important than protecting victims? That's disgusting.

So yeah. he stands for women and protects rape victims...as long as they weren't assaulted by someone on his side! And the fact that he completely lacks the self awareness to see how hypocritical this mindset is infuriates me.

For those that don't know, there was a secret anti-Gamergate chat group assembled sometime after Gamergate happened in August 2014, it was on IRC chats, Google Hangouts, and Skype before moving to slack/Discord/whatever as time progressed and their paranoia prompted them to try and find a more secure service. In early 2015, many members of this group transitioned into the volunteers for Zoe Quinn's scam Crash Override Network, and after that died in early 2016 some of the former members of CON and this chat group began speaking out about it. One of them even leaked logs from when the group was using Skype dating from late December 2014 and early January 2015.

Dan Olson was revealed as a member of this group, which also included Chelsea Van Valkenburg/Zoe Quinn herself, Jake Alley aka secretgamergirl, self-declared pedophile Nicholas 'sarah butts' Nyberg, and some other fucked up people. The group, Dan included, actually bent over backwards to cover up for Nyberg after his history of pedophilia was uncovered. For instance, the group was using a Trello to organize themselves and paint targets for them to collectively go after, including 8chan, various people who had been supporting Gamergate (some were even targeted for tweeting at a member of the group just one time), and Encyclopedia Dramatica. In a Trello entry from February 2nd, 2015 you can see they were still going after ED for daring to have made an article about Nyberg months before (the group also filed online police reports against someone for tweeting a link to the article).

The following excerpt from the leaked Skype chat shows the group had been targeting 8chan since at least early September 2014, because Gamergate was using the image board after 4chan decided users weren't allowed to talk about it there.

[31/12/2014, 5:16:58 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: Along with the fact that 8chan was founded a year ago pretty well exclusively as a child porn site, and yet everyone in GG somehow magically knew to go there to find new threads when they were booted off 4chon
[31/12/2014, 5:17:20 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: like salmon, homing in on the rivers they were born in
[31/12/2014, 5:19:35 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: Come to think of it, I still have no clue why it took github to kick'em
[31/12/2014, 5:21:05 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: I was e-mailing them from like, early september and getting back "what's the problem exactly? I'm still not seeing it" so I assume someone with a personal connection eventually spoke up

On December 23rd, 2014, we can see they made an "incident" entry on the Trello involving Dan Olson's Medium blog where he had downloaded what he himself claimed to be child pornography in an attempt to attack 8chan. You would think if Olson and the rest of the group actually cared about potential child victims of pedophiles that they would be discussing ways to signal boost to anti-sex trafficking groups or donate to victim support groups, but no, this was just about Gamergate.

I don't think anyone has ever specifically looked for Dan's activity in the Skype logs, so we're going to take a look. Note that the logs are I believe 13 hours ahead of EST time zone and seem to be 15 ahead of Dan's location, and "drinternetphd" is Zoe Quinn. I will also be pruning the copy-pasted logs a bit to remove lines that are unrelated to Dan, and including the archive link to the log so you can see the full thing if you wish. I believe every single chat archive from the leak contains some activity from Dan (even on Christmas), I won't be including every single comment from him as a lot is dull like him talking about his sewing machine or random video games.
This first batch looks to be from December 22nd, 2014 and we can find Dan celebrating! that he had finished the Medium post. He mentions being able to close his tabs and specifically mentions /hebe/, the board that he used as evidence in the blog post and the board which is tied to Wesley "Laurelai" Bailey as the board owner linked to a site hosted on Laurelai's server alongside his other sites such as SJWiki. Disturbingly, we see Olson thank "Ms. Butts" aka pedophile Nick Nyberg for tweeting out the Medium article, and based off this and later log entries they seem to be quite friendly with each other. (At this point I don't think anyone knew what Nyberg really was, not that it changed anything for Dan and the others when the sick truth came out) http://archive.is/G2531
[23/12/2014, 11:38:59 AM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: https://twitter.com/srhbutts/status/547228013176557569 i linked it here btw dan

[23/12/2014, 11:39:15 AM] Dan Olson: Oh, man, the article is done! I can close all these windows!
[23/12/2014, 11:39:44 AM] Dan Olson: No more tabs of statutes on obscenity laws! No more /hebe/!
[23/12/2014, 11:40:13 AM] Dan Olson: You get a Command-W! And you get a Command-W! Everyone gets a Command-W!!!
[23/12/2014, 11:40:16 AM] Peter Coffin: probably feels good

[23/12/2014, 11:43:16 AM] Dan Olson: Thanks, Ms. Butts!

[23/12/2014, 1:07:18 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: dan want to throw poros with me and charlotte? :3 if you're not busy
[23/12/2014, 1:07:20 PM] Dan Olson: I like a lot of the more radical things they're doing with champ design, though. Like Abathur is frikkin' cool design, even if he's garbage when you're not on VOIP with your team.


[23/12/2014, 1:07:35 PM] Dan Olson: heck yes
It turned out that downloading what Dan himself labeled as child porn, editing it, and the uploading it to Medium, all to antagonize and attack Gamergate, was not the smartest thing to do. People started calling for Dan to be reported to Canadian law enforcement and Dan said he was going to "pre-emptively call" the RCMP. You can also see Nyberg, the self-admitted pedophile, squirming because 8chan users were working on doxing him in response to him tweeting out Dan's Medium blog and provoking them.
[23/12/2014, 3:32:04 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: 8chans trying to dox me again
[23/12/2014, 3:32:19 PM] Athena Hollow: ofc
[23/12/2014, 3:32:25 PM] nicholas.boterf: I’m sorry Sarah.
[23/12/2014, 3:39:11 PM] SF: This implies to me further every "find" right now is random flailing because they're mad.
[23/12/2014, 3:39:21 PM] Ian Cheong: welp
[23/12/2014, 3:39:21 PM] Ian Cheong: https://archive.today/V6t17
[23/12/2014, 3:39:34 PM] SF: If you want to be evil, post false leads under anon.
[23/12/2014, 3:40:16 PM] SF: what's the significance of the archive?
[23/12/2014, 3:40:22 PM] Ian Cheong: that medium page no longer exists.
[23/12/2014, 3:40:23 PM] Ian Cheong: but uh
[23/12/2014, 3:40:33 PM] Ian Cheong: it has blurred our child pornography on it
[23/12/2014, 3:40:34 PM] Ian Cheong: out
[23/12/2014, 3:40:36 PM] Ian Cheong: blurred out
[23/12/2014, 3:40:39 PM] Ian Cheong: not blurred our
[23/12/2014, 3:40:49 PM] SF: Yeah that's Dan Olson's article.
[23/12/2014, 3:41:01 PM] Ian Cheong: GGers are saying that makes him accomplice to the CP
[23/12/2014, 3:41:13 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: the medium page is down? it's up for me
[23/12/2014, 3:41:25 PM] Ian Cheong: ah, must be my ISP again
[23/12/2014, 3:41:49 PM] Dan Olson: I should probably copy the text into a google doc at the very least
[23/12/2014, 3:41:56 PM] Dan Olson: it would suck to lose hours of writing
[23/12/2014, 3:42:00 PM] Ian Cheong: yeah

[23/12/2014, 3:42:41 PM] Ian Cheong: also i didn't realize you were in here!
[23/12/2014, 3:42:48 PM] nicholas.boterf: Definitely. GamerGate is going to mass report it.
[23/12/2014, 3:43:16 PM] Ian Cheong: they're going to try to get you in trouble with it, because it's CP, and you had to see it to blur it.
[23/12/2014, 3:43:32 PM] drinternetphd: so
[23/12/2014, 3:43:36 PM] drinternetphd: isn't this cernovich actually trying to swat someone
[23/12/2014, 3:43:49 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: link?
[23/12/2014, 3:43:58 PM] drinternetphd: his timeline right now
[23/12/2014, 3:44:05 PM] Ian Cheong: Checking it.
[23/12/2014, 3:44:06 PM] drinternetphd: he's calling for people to brigade dan for cp
[23/12/2014, 3:44:15 PM] Ian Cheong: oh shit.
[23/12/2014, 3:44:21 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: Well then yes
[23/12/2014, 3:44:22 PM] Dan Olson: What's funny is that it's Schrödinger's Pornography. By trying to get me in trouble for the article they have to admit that the content is illegal.
[23/12/2014, 3:44:29 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: possibly
[23/12/2014, 3:44:55 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: although I think swatting has a much more specific definition
[23/12/2014, 3:44:58 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: i don't know if i should delete my tweet or not :\ they're trying to dox me
[23/12/2014, 3:45:15 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: what would deleting do to prevent that?
[23/12/2014, 3:45:27 PM] Dan Olson: Might prevent further runaway?
[23/12/2014, 3:45:42 PM] Dan Olson: Maybe, I'm not sure. Do what you need to do to feel safe.
[23/12/2014, 3:45:45 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: that would be the idea. but they'd also see it as an admissan of wrongdoing
[23/12/2014, 3:45:52 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: worse
[23/12/2014, 3:46:06 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: they'd start speculating on the horrible content that made you delete a tweet
[23/12/2014, 3:46:14 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: they do that when people make a freaking typo
[23/12/2014, 3:47:06 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: https://twitter.com/PlayDangerously/status/547297022424793088 -_-
[23/12/2014, 3:47:40 PM] SF: Cernovich is searching for anything to do with this it seems.
[23/12/2014, 3:47:53 PM] Dan Olson: I'm going to pre-emptively call the RCMP

As Nyberg started trying to get others to tweet out the Medium blog so the focus moved off himself, Dan mentioned that he was going to need to take anxiety meds soon.
[23/12/2014, 4:24:32 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: does anyone else feel comfortable tweeting links to dan's article
[23/12/2014, 4:24:36 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: i have them focusing on just me
[23/12/2014, 4:24:38 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: i know its a lot to ask
[23/12/2014, 4:24:54 PM] Charloppe: yes
[23/12/2014, 4:25:04 PM] SF: I'm trying to hit a lot of keywords and not mention you directly.
[23/12/2014, 4:25:14 PM] SF: By our powers combined
[23/12/2014, 4:25:24 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: just tweet the link about 8chan hosting it and link his article, that should take some heat off
[23/12/2014, 4:25:24 PM] Athena Hollow: I may have just gotten mad on twitter >_>
[23/12/2014, 4:26:43 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: athena do you feel comfortable tweeting out dans article
[23/12/2014, 4:27:05 PM] drinternetphd: you should ask futrelle
[23/12/2014, 4:27:17 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: i'm asking futrelle now
[23/12/2014, 4:27:19 PM] Ian Cheong: 8chan hosts and condones the sharing and discussion of child pornography. Proof: https://medium.com/@FoldableHuman/the-mods-are-always-asleep-7f750f879fc (via @foldablehuman)
[23/12/2014, 4:27:22 PM] Ian Cheong: how's this sound
[23/12/2014, 4:27:30 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: sounds good
[23/12/2014, 4:27:46 PM] drinternetphd: alex RTed it
[23/12/2014, 4:28:09 PM] Athena Hollow: i DID.
[23/12/2014, 4:28:13 PM] Athena Hollow: err sorry caps was still on
[23/12/2014, 4:28:13 PM] Athena Hollow: LOL
[23/12/2014, 4:28:33 PM] Charloppe: did it sarah
[23/12/2014, 4:29:01 PM] Dan Olson: I'm finding this wave surprisingly easy to ride at the moment, but I just know I'm gonna need some Ativan in about ten minutes.
[23/12/2014, 4:29:41 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: would alex feel comfortable posting a link directly? they'd take that more seriously than a RT
[23/12/2014, 4:29:51 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: ty, btw, ian
[23/12/2014, 4:29:59 PM] Ian Cheong: np
[23/12/2014, 4:30:27 PM] drinternetphd: well thing is, we're at a place they have dox on right now
[23/12/2014, 4:30:27 PM] drinternetphd: so
[23/12/2014, 4:30:31 PM] drinternetphd: I kinda wish he hadn't
[23/12/2014, 4:30:37 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: its cool
[23/12/2014, 4:30:37 PM] drinternetphd: or that we'd talked about it first
[23/12/2014, 4:30:46 PM] drinternetphd: considering I've been getting raided pretty fucking hard all day
[23/12/2014, 4:31:03 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: :\
[23/12/2014, 4:31:21 PM] Dan Olson: Let's all take our anxiety meds together! Team building exercise!

It's worth stressing here that this was all being conducted in secrecy, nobody outside the chat group knew it existed until 2016, although there were suspicions of course. They started having panic attacks and planning on doing "monitor duty," with Zoe herself saying she would be "keeping an eye on" Dan and Nyberg.
[23/12/2014, 4:32:35 PM] SF: Is it awful I wish I was a known person to these people just so I could stop being tense about the other shoe finally dropping
[23/12/2014, 4:32:38 PM] Charloppe: urg feeling a slight panic attack coming on
[23/12/2014, 4:32:40 PM] SF: Because I know it's inevitable.
[23/12/2014, 4:32:47 PM] Charloppe: hate this feeling
[23/12/2014, 4:32:54 PM] Ian Cheong: I know that feeling.
[23/12/2014, 4:33:24 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: oh sorry, let me see if I still have them...
[23/12/2014, 4:33:29 PM] Charloppe: the crushing chest sensation I will never get used to
[23/12/2014, 4:33:43 PM] SF: We joke about how pathetic they are but at moments like these try to remember that they are in all seriousness. This is all they'll ever be known for. All of us will outshine them by merely surviving.
[23/12/2014, 4:33:56 PM] SF: And I don't think any of us is content with merely surviving.
[23/12/2014, 4:36:59 PM] drinternetphd: I just put on coffee so I can do monitor duty
[23/12/2014, 4:38:06 PM] SF: Can we do any more to help? I can stay up if necessary.
[23/12/2014, 4:39:39 PM] Charloppe: I only ask for you all to keep a eye on sarah.
[23/12/2014, 4:39:48 PM] drinternetphd: I'm keeping an eye on her and dan
[23/12/2014, 4:40:20 PM] Charloppe: thank you and you too dan.
[23/12/2014, 4:40:58 PM] Dan Olson: Take care. As my friend Matthew is no doubt going to tell me the moment he sees what I stirred up: practice self-care, you are worth it.
[23/12/2014, 4:41:14 PM] Ian Cheong: Hey, we're like a family right.
[23/12/2014, 4:41:51 PM] Charloppe: considering I have said more then a word in this chat I would have to agree :3
[23/12/2014, 4:43:59 PM] Peter Coffin: I care about all of you, at very least. If you consider that family then I do.

Their chat was split into two chat rooms, the serious chat was supposed to be where they discussed their ops and other matters that they felt needed to be secured under 2FA, which was required to be invited to the room. They had the serious chat going this day and the leaker had logs from it, I'm going to try to chronologically put these log excerpts in order. http://archive.is/3J6Dg

Dan said that Gamergate was "digging their own grave" by reporting his Medium blog because mass reporting "just creates a loop back to the offending boards" and he believed the FBI and RCMP wouldn't care about him and would instead go after the source where he downloaded his CP.
[23/12/2014, 6:04:41 PM] Ian Cheong: Great.
[23/12/2014, 6:07:08 PM] Ian Cheong: So RogueStar is saying he's reporting me to the FBI for 'redistributing CP'
[23/12/2014, 6:08:06 PM] Dan Olson: yeah, they're all pearl clutching with feigned dignity "I DIDN'T EVEN OPEN THE ARTICLE, BUT I'M REPORTING YOU!" which, you know, fair enough if it was actually in violation of anything.
[23/12/2014, 6:08:25 PM] Ian Cheong: Yeah it's really not in violation of anything which is the funny part.
[23/12/2014, 6:08:46 PM] Dan Olson: and they're digging their own grave
[23/12/2014, 6:09:07 PM] Dan Olson: as I mentioned in the article, the only reason it's still there is a matter of inertia and exposure
[23/12/2014, 6:09:23 PM] Dan Olson: by mass reporting anything related to this it just creates a loop back to the offending boards.
[23/12/2014, 6:10:21 PM] Alex Lifschitz: Yeah, so much of getting things done with them is letting them be butt holes out in the open.
[23/12/2014, 6:10:33 PM] Dan Olson: if GG morons spam the FBI and RCMP with hundreds of "this dude screencapped CP then censored it so that he could write an article about it!" they're going to go "oooooh, what's this website he's talking about again?????"
[23/12/2014, 6:11:15 PM] Alex Lifschitz: Yeah.
[23/12/2014, 6:11:34 PM] Alex Lifschitz: Like I was talking about with Zoe earlier: Hold steady, document, and wait for them to bare their throat before you rip it out.

Dan was "keeping [himself] busy" by "thanking everyone who sent [him] pet pic or wished [him] a merry Christmas."
[23/12/2014, 6:43:18 PM] Dan Olson: Yeah, fortunately my feed is a solid miix of GGers yelling at each other and people sending me kittens and bunnies and their pets
[23/12/2014, 6:43:19 PM] Athena Hollow: But yeah... that's what iwant to yell at them.
[23/12/2014, 6:43:25 PM] Athena Hollow: hahahah
[23/12/2014, 6:43:33 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: I swear, they'd all die of attention starvation if not for Kav AMiB Astrophilia and Jenni
[23/12/2014, 6:43:40 PM] Athena Hollow: I wish that were the case.
[23/12/2014, 6:43:42 PM] Dan Olson: so I'm keeping myself busy thanking everyone who sent me pet pic or wished me a merry Christmas.

To Dan, libertarians go hand in hand with "Nazis."
[23/12/2014, 6:58:45 PM] Dan Olson: I'm so sad that Transhumanism is so full of Libertarian/Nazi trash.
[23/12/2014, 6:59:16 PM] Dan Olson: When they build better eyeballs than the ones in my head I'm first in line.

Dan unironically joked about "collusion" after someone correctly surmised that he was friends with Zoe and that is why he made the Medium blog, while he was in a secret invite-only chat room with Zoe where they had planned the Medium post.
[23/12/2014, 7:14:05 PM] drinternetphd: also dan apparently we are friends http://i.gyazo.com/8cfcf2dec00f0b60c135e1bfca255655.png

[23/12/2014, 7:14:09 PM] drinternetphd: as of a few months ago
[23/12/2014, 7:14:24 PM] drinternetphd: because you covered my game apparently?
[23/12/2014, 7:14:31 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: rofl
[23/12/2014, 7:14:45 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: i never knew i was friends with miyamoto! charlottes going to be so excited
[23/12/2014, 7:14:55 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: hahaha

[23/12/2014, 7:15:47 PM] Dan Olson: And that episode was supr collusion with much unethical since we met for all of, what, 3 minutes at PAX?

[23/12/2014, 7:16:44 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: well now you're having a pleasant chat in some sort of secret "anti-GG" chat
[23/12/2014, 7:17:00 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: so as soon as you hop in your time machine, it's suddenly valid criticism.

In the "serious" chat, Dan excitedly talked about Gamergate "melting down." I haven't looked up the other chat member's tweets about the article, but we can see the first one, Nyberg's up above, where he explicitly included #gamergate, so it is weird that Dan is acting like his blog has nothing to do with Gamergate. According to Dan, this attack should have been the "'perfect' chance" for Gamergate to "distance itself" and "feign concern" (because, after months of dehumanizing them, "GG" is now just a hivemind for him) and he doesn't understand why people were reacting as if it was an attack on them, while he is sitting in two invite-only chat rooms with Zoe Quinn.
[23/12/2014, 7:18:22 PM] Dan Olson: They're melting down.
[23/12/2014, 7:18:45 PM] Dan Olson: It has absolutely fuck all to do with GG beyond 8chan as a communal platform.
[23/12/2014, 7:18:55 PM] Dan Olson: I didn't mention GG once.
[23/12/2014, 7:20:37 PM] Dan Olson: This is the *perfect* chance for GG to just straight up distance itself, suggest that maybe the rules are skirting the law a little too close, blah blah blah feign concern, re-write the site's rules to be vaguely more stringent on paper, tweet lots about how they're "ashamed of this behaviour" and "they didn't know it was this bad" but "super excited for the future"
[23/12/2014, 7:20:56 PM] Dan Olson: NOPE
[23/12/2014, 7:21:11 PM] drinternetphd: go on down with that ship you dumb fucks
[23/12/2014, 7:21:12 PM] Dan Olson: LET ALL FLIP OUR SHIT AND TAKE IT PERSONALLY!

The chat group was having doubts that anyone was actually reporting Dan to the authorities, Dan knew they were at least attempting to do so.
[23/12/2014, 7:23:13 PM] Dan Olson: I just wanna say I picked a DAMN good title.
[23/12/2014, 7:23:56 PM] Dan Olson: It's short, it fits in every tweet, and for those in "the lingo" it cuts right to the god damn bone.
[23/12/2014, 7:25:28 PM] Ian Cheong: You know, I don't believe any of them reported you to the FBI.
[23/12/2014, 7:25:48 PM] Ian Cheong: They're like those kids who play World of Warcraft and scream "REPORTED!!!!" when you argue with them.
[23/12/2014, 7:25:51 PM] Athena Hollow: lol
[23/12/2014, 7:26:15 PM] Dan Olson: I know they tried to report me to the RCMP, because they were complaining that the RCMP doesn't take anonymous tips internationally.
Dan was such a good little member of this clique that he volunteered to take over "monitoring" so Zoe could "work on her book pitch," which her boyfriend Alex said had "the best capacity to affect change."
[23/12/2014, 7:54:25 PM] Alex Lifschitz: FTR: We're going to start trying to pull away on the monitoring stuff as Zoe takes some time to work on her book pitch. That needs to keep going and has the best capacity to affect change.
[23/12/2014, 7:54:31 PM] Alex Lifschitz: This is kind of a Children of Men scenario.
[23/12/2014, 7:55:40 PM] Dan Olson: I can pick up some monitoring slack.

Dan believed he wasn't going to get in trouble for viewing, downloading, and then uploading edited images of what he considered CP, claiming that Canada's "protections for investigative reporting" would protect him. (The "Rob" seen in these logs is Rob Marmolejo, as with others he went on to be part of Crash Override Network, and was accused of sexually harassing at least twenty women, possibly getting their contact info through CON. )
[23/12/2014, 7:47:17 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: you missed a lot, rob x-x
[23/12/2014, 7:49:42 PM] Rob: I did?
[23/12/2014, 7:51:57 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: Actual sleep needed now.
[23/12/2014, 7:55:32 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: rob: dan posted an article exposing 8chan hosting sexual pictures of children. GG is now trying to report him to the FBI
[23/12/2014, 7:56:32 PM] Rob: Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooow
[23/12/2014, 8:00:21 PM] Dan Olson: Yeah.
[23/12/2014, 8:00:47 PM] Dan Olson: Twitter has died down to 3 notifications per minute so I'm gonna go to bed.
[23/12/2014, 8:02:27 PM] Rob: Later, sir. Take care of yourself.
[23/12/2014, 8:03:34 PM] Alex Lifschitz: Yeah, no worries. Check on with the chat tomorrow if you see something alarming.
[23/12/2014, 8:04:05 PM] Alex Lifschitz: Remember that they huff and puff and manufacture evidence to score points with each other, and there's no way the authorities would touch you and not 8chan. Or you at all, really.
[23/12/2014, 8:05:25 PM] Rob: Yeah, and if anything?
[23/12/2014, 8:05:33 PM] Rob: Them filing a bunch of bullshit with the FBI will only hurt them
[23/12/2014, 8:05:37 PM] Rob: false reports = bad news bears
[23/12/2014, 8:05:41 PM] Rob: LEOs hate having their time wasted.
[23/12/2014, 8:05:41 PM] Dan Olson: Canada has very good protections for investigative reporting.
[23/12/2014, 8:06:05 PM] Rob: So if they're sending in all kinds of bullshit false reports, it's far more likely they'll get arrested than anything else.
[23/12/2014, 8:06:32 PM] Dan Olson: It's part of why we produce world class documentary content, and have several of the highest rated media/journalism schools in the world.

Edit: It looks like I have the spoiler glitch going on and it looks like there's too much text for it to handle in one post, will have to cut it apart and post the other segments later.
Who is SF?
 
For those that don't know, there was a secret anti-Gamergate chat group assembled sometime after Gamergate happened in August 2014, it was on IRC chats, Google Hangouts, and Skype before moving to slack/Discord/whatever as time progressed and their paranoia prompted them to try and find a more secure service. In early 2015, many members of this group transitioned into the volunteers for Zoe Quinn's scam Crash Override Network, and after that died in early 2016 some of the former members of CON and this chat group began speaking out about it. One of them even leaked logs from when the group was using Skype dating from late December 2014 and early January 2015.

Dan Olson was revealed as a member of this group, which also included Chelsea Van Valkenburg/Zoe Quinn herself, Jake Alley aka secretgamergirl, self-declared pedophile Nicholas 'sarah butts' Nyberg, and some other fucked up people. The group, Dan included, actually bent over backwards to cover up for Nyberg after his history of pedophilia was uncovered. For instance, the group was using a Trello to organize themselves and paint targets for them to collectively go after, including 8chan, various people who had been supporting Gamergate (some were even targeted for tweeting at a member of the group just one time), and Encyclopedia Dramatica. In a Trello entry from February 2nd, 2015 you can see they were still going after ED for daring to have made an article about Nyberg months before (the group also filed online police reports against someone for tweeting a link to the article).

The following excerpt from the leaked Skype chat shows the group had been targeting 8chan since at least early September 2014, because Gamergate was using the image board after 4chan decided users weren't allowed to talk about it there.

[31/12/2014, 5:16:58 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: Along with the fact that 8chan was founded a year ago pretty well exclusively as a child porn site, and yet everyone in GG somehow magically knew to go there to find new threads when they were booted off 4chon
[31/12/2014, 5:17:20 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: like salmon, homing in on the rivers they were born in
[31/12/2014, 5:19:35 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: Come to think of it, I still have no clue why it took github to kick'em
[31/12/2014, 5:21:05 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: I was e-mailing them from like, early september and getting back "what's the problem exactly? I'm still not seeing it" so I assume someone with a personal connection eventually spoke up

On December 23rd, 2014, we can see they made an "incident" entry on the Trello involving Dan Olson's Medium blog where he had downloaded what he himself claimed to be child pornography in an attempt to attack 8chan. You would think if Olson and the rest of the group actually cared about potential child victims of pedophiles that they would be discussing ways to signal boost to anti-sex trafficking groups or donate to victim support groups, but no, this was just about Gamergate.

I don't think anyone has ever specifically looked for Dan's activity in the Skype logs, so we're going to take a look. Note that the logs are I believe 13 hours ahead of EST time zone and seem to be 15 ahead of Dan's location, and "drinternetphd" is Zoe Quinn. I will also be pruning the copy-pasted logs a bit to remove lines that are unrelated to Dan, and including the archive link to the log so you can see the full thing if you wish. I believe every single chat archive from the leak contains some activity from Dan (even on Christmas), I won't be including every single comment from him as a lot is dull like him talking about his sewing machine or random video games.
This first batch looks to be from December 22nd, 2014 and we can find Dan celebrating! that he had finished the Medium post. He mentions being able to close his tabs and specifically mentions /hebe/, the board that he used as evidence in the blog post and the board which is tied to Wesley "Laurelai" Bailey as the board owner linked to a site hosted on Laurelai's server alongside his other sites such as SJWiki. Disturbingly, we see Olson thank "Ms. Butts" aka pedophile Nick Nyberg for tweeting out the Medium article, and based off this and later log entries they seem to be quite friendly with each other. (At this point I don't think anyone knew what Nyberg really was, not that it changed anything for Dan and the others when the sick truth came out) http://archive.is/G2531
[23/12/2014, 11:38:59 AM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: https://twitter.com/srhbutts/status/547228013176557569 i linked it here btw dan

[23/12/2014, 11:39:15 AM] Dan Olson: Oh, man, the article is done! I can close all these windows!
[23/12/2014, 11:39:44 AM] Dan Olson: No more tabs of statutes on obscenity laws! No more /hebe/!
[23/12/2014, 11:40:13 AM] Dan Olson: You get a Command-W! And you get a Command-W! Everyone gets a Command-W!!!
[23/12/2014, 11:40:16 AM] Peter Coffin: probably feels good

[23/12/2014, 11:43:16 AM] Dan Olson: Thanks, Ms. Butts!

[23/12/2014, 1:07:18 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: dan want to throw poros with me and charlotte? :3 if you're not busy
[23/12/2014, 1:07:20 PM] Dan Olson: I like a lot of the more radical things they're doing with champ design, though. Like Abathur is frikkin' cool design, even if he's garbage when you're not on VOIP with your team.


[23/12/2014, 1:07:35 PM] Dan Olson: heck yes
It turned out that downloading what Dan himself labeled as child porn, editing it, and the uploading it to Medium, all to antagonize and attack Gamergate, was not the smartest thing to do. People started calling for Dan to be reported to Canadian law enforcement and Dan said he was going to "pre-emptively call" the RCMP. You can also see Nyberg, the self-admitted pedophile, squirming because 8chan users were working on doxing him in response to him tweeting out Dan's Medium blog and provoking them.
[23/12/2014, 3:32:04 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: 8chans trying to dox me again
[23/12/2014, 3:32:19 PM] Athena Hollow: ofc
[23/12/2014, 3:32:25 PM] nicholas.boterf: I’m sorry Sarah.
[23/12/2014, 3:39:11 PM] SF: This implies to me further every "find" right now is random flailing because they're mad.
[23/12/2014, 3:39:21 PM] Ian Cheong: welp
[23/12/2014, 3:39:21 PM] Ian Cheong: https://archive.today/V6t17
[23/12/2014, 3:39:34 PM] SF: If you want to be evil, post false leads under anon.
[23/12/2014, 3:40:16 PM] SF: what's the significance of the archive?
[23/12/2014, 3:40:22 PM] Ian Cheong: that medium page no longer exists.
[23/12/2014, 3:40:23 PM] Ian Cheong: but uh
[23/12/2014, 3:40:33 PM] Ian Cheong: it has blurred our child pornography on it
[23/12/2014, 3:40:34 PM] Ian Cheong: out
[23/12/2014, 3:40:36 PM] Ian Cheong: blurred out
[23/12/2014, 3:40:39 PM] Ian Cheong: not blurred our
[23/12/2014, 3:40:49 PM] SF: Yeah that's Dan Olson's article.
[23/12/2014, 3:41:01 PM] Ian Cheong: GGers are saying that makes him accomplice to the CP
[23/12/2014, 3:41:13 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: the medium page is down? it's up for me
[23/12/2014, 3:41:25 PM] Ian Cheong: ah, must be my ISP again
[23/12/2014, 3:41:49 PM] Dan Olson: I should probably copy the text into a google doc at the very least
[23/12/2014, 3:41:56 PM] Dan Olson: it would suck to lose hours of writing
[23/12/2014, 3:42:00 PM] Ian Cheong: yeah
[23/12/2014, 3:42:31 PM] Ian Cheong: KIA is going pretty nuts over it.
[23/12/2014, 3:42:41 PM] Ian Cheong: also i didn't realize you were in here!
[23/12/2014, 3:42:48 PM] nicholas.boterf: Definitely. GamerGate is going to mass report it.
[23/12/2014, 3:43:16 PM] Ian Cheong: they're going to try to get you in trouble with it, because it's CP, and you had to see it to blur it.
[23/12/2014, 3:43:32 PM] drinternetphd: so
[23/12/2014, 3:43:36 PM] drinternetphd: isn't this cernovich actually trying to swat someone
[23/12/2014, 3:43:49 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: link?
[23/12/2014, 3:43:58 PM] drinternetphd: his timeline right now
[23/12/2014, 3:44:05 PM] Ian Cheong: Checking it.
[23/12/2014, 3:44:06 PM] drinternetphd: he's calling for people to brigade dan for cp
[23/12/2014, 3:44:15 PM] Ian Cheong: oh shit.
[23/12/2014, 3:44:21 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: Well then yes
[23/12/2014, 3:44:22 PM] Dan Olson: What's funny is that it's Schrödinger's Pornography. By trying to get me in trouble for the article they have to admit that the content is illegal.
[23/12/2014, 3:44:29 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: possibly
[23/12/2014, 3:44:55 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: although I think swatting has a much more specific definition
[23/12/2014, 3:44:58 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: i don't know if i should delete my tweet or not :\ they're trying to dox me
[23/12/2014, 3:45:15 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: what would deleting do to prevent that?
[23/12/2014, 3:45:27 PM] Dan Olson: Might prevent further runaway?
[23/12/2014, 3:45:42 PM] Dan Olson: Maybe, I'm not sure. Do what you need to do to feel safe.
[23/12/2014, 3:45:45 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: that would be the idea. but they'd also see it as an admissan of wrongdoing
[23/12/2014, 3:45:52 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: worse
[23/12/2014, 3:46:06 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: they'd start speculating on the horrible content that made you delete a tweet
[23/12/2014, 3:46:14 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: they do that when people make a freaking typo
[23/12/2014, 3:47:06 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: https://twitter.com/PlayDangerously/status/547297022424793088 -_-
[23/12/2014, 3:47:40 PM] SF: Cernovich is searching for anything to do with this it seems.
[23/12/2014, 3:47:53 PM] Dan Olson: I'm going to pre-emptively call the RCMP

As Nyberg started trying to get others to tweet out the Medium blog so the focus moved off himself, Dan mentioned that he was going to need to take anxiety meds soon.
[23/12/2014, 4:24:32 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: does anyone else feel comfortable tweeting links to dan's article
[23/12/2014, 4:24:36 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: i have them focusing on just me
[23/12/2014, 4:24:38 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: i know its a lot to ask
[23/12/2014, 4:24:54 PM] Charloppe: yes
[23/12/2014, 4:25:04 PM] SF: I'm trying to hit a lot of keywords and not mention you directly.
[23/12/2014, 4:25:14 PM] SF: By our powers combined
[23/12/2014, 4:25:24 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: just tweet the link about 8chan hosting it and link his article, that should take some heat off
[23/12/2014, 4:25:24 PM] Athena Hollow: I may have just gotten mad on twitter >_>
[23/12/2014, 4:26:43 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: athena do you feel comfortable tweeting out dans article
[23/12/2014, 4:27:05 PM] drinternetphd: you should ask futrelle
[23/12/2014, 4:27:17 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: i'm asking futrelle now
[23/12/2014, 4:27:19 PM] Ian Cheong: 8chan hosts and condones the sharing and discussion of child pornography. Proof: https://medium.com/@FoldableHuman/the-mods-are-always-asleep-7f750f879fc (via @foldablehuman)
[23/12/2014, 4:27:22 PM] Ian Cheong: how's this sound
[23/12/2014, 4:27:30 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: sounds good
[23/12/2014, 4:27:46 PM] drinternetphd: alex RTed it
[23/12/2014, 4:28:09 PM] Athena Hollow: i DID.
[23/12/2014, 4:28:13 PM] Athena Hollow: err sorry caps was still on
[23/12/2014, 4:28:13 PM] Athena Hollow: LOL
[23/12/2014, 4:28:33 PM] Charloppe: did it sarah
[23/12/2014, 4:29:01 PM] Dan Olson: I'm finding this wave surprisingly easy to ride at the moment, but I just know I'm gonna need some Ativan in about ten minutes.
[23/12/2014, 4:29:41 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: would alex feel comfortable posting a link directly? they'd take that more seriously than a RT
[23/12/2014, 4:29:51 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: ty, btw, ian
[23/12/2014, 4:29:59 PM] Ian Cheong: np
[23/12/2014, 4:30:27 PM] drinternetphd: well thing is, we're at a place they have dox on right now
[23/12/2014, 4:30:27 PM] drinternetphd: so
[23/12/2014, 4:30:31 PM] drinternetphd: I kinda wish he hadn't
[23/12/2014, 4:30:37 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: its cool
[23/12/2014, 4:30:37 PM] drinternetphd: or that we'd talked about it first
[23/12/2014, 4:30:46 PM] drinternetphd: considering I've been getting raided pretty fucking hard all day
[23/12/2014, 4:31:03 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: :\
[23/12/2014, 4:31:21 PM] Dan Olson: Let's all take our anxiety meds together! Team building exercise!

It's worth stressing here that this was all being conducted in secrecy, nobody outside the chat group knew it existed until 2016, although there were suspicions of course. They started having panic attacks and planning on doing "monitor duty," with Zoe herself saying she would be "keeping an eye on" Dan and Nyberg.
[23/12/2014, 4:32:35 PM] SF: Is it awful I wish I was a known person to these people just so I could stop being tense about the other shoe finally dropping
[23/12/2014, 4:32:38 PM] Charloppe: urg feeling a slight panic attack coming on
[23/12/2014, 4:32:40 PM] SF: Because I know it's inevitable.
[23/12/2014, 4:32:47 PM] Charloppe: hate this feeling
[23/12/2014, 4:32:54 PM] Ian Cheong: I know that feeling.
[23/12/2014, 4:33:24 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: oh sorry, let me see if I still have them...
[23/12/2014, 4:33:29 PM] Charloppe: the crushing chest sensation I will never get used to
[23/12/2014, 4:33:43 PM] SF: We joke about how pathetic they are but at moments like these try to remember that they are in all seriousness. This is all they'll ever be known for. All of us will outshine them by merely surviving.
[23/12/2014, 4:33:56 PM] SF: And I don't think any of us is content with merely surviving.
[23/12/2014, 4:36:59 PM] drinternetphd: I just put on coffee so I can do monitor duty
[23/12/2014, 4:38:06 PM] SF: Can we do any more to help? I can stay up if necessary.
[23/12/2014, 4:39:39 PM] Charloppe: I only ask for you all to keep a eye on sarah.
[23/12/2014, 4:39:48 PM] drinternetphd: I'm keeping an eye on her and dan
[23/12/2014, 4:40:20 PM] Charloppe: thank you and you too dan.
[23/12/2014, 4:40:58 PM] Dan Olson: Take care. As my friend Matthew is no doubt going to tell me the moment he sees what I stirred up: practice self-care, you are worth it.
[23/12/2014, 4:41:14 PM] Ian Cheong: Hey, we're like a family right.
[23/12/2014, 4:41:51 PM] Charloppe: considering I have said more then a word in this chat I would have to agree :3
[23/12/2014, 4:43:59 PM] Peter Coffin: I care about all of you, at very least. If you consider that family then I do.

Their chat was split into two chat rooms, the serious chat was supposed to be where they discussed their ops and other matters that they felt needed to be secured under 2FA, which was required to be invited to the room. They had the serious chat going this day and the leaker had logs from it, I'm going to try to chronologically put these log excerpts in order. http://archive.is/3J6Dg

Dan said that Gamergate was "digging their own grave" by reporting his Medium blog because mass reporting "just creates a loop back to the offending boards" and he believed the FBI and RCMP wouldn't care about him and would instead go after the source where he downloaded his CP.
[23/12/2014, 6:04:41 PM] Ian Cheong: Great.
[23/12/2014, 6:07:08 PM] Ian Cheong: So RogueStar is saying he's reporting me to the FBI for 'redistributing CP'
[23/12/2014, 6:08:06 PM] Dan Olson: yeah, they're all pearl clutching with feigned dignity "I DIDN'T EVEN OPEN THE ARTICLE, BUT I'M REPORTING YOU!" which, you know, fair enough if it was actually in violation of anything.
[23/12/2014, 6:08:25 PM] Ian Cheong: Yeah it's really not in violation of anything which is the funny part.
[23/12/2014, 6:08:46 PM] Dan Olson: and they're digging their own grave
[23/12/2014, 6:09:07 PM] Dan Olson: as I mentioned in the article, the only reason it's still there is a matter of inertia and exposure
[23/12/2014, 6:09:23 PM] Dan Olson: by mass reporting anything related to this it just creates a loop back to the offending boards.
[23/12/2014, 6:10:21 PM] Alex Lifschitz: Yeah, so much of getting things done with them is letting them be butt holes out in the open.
[23/12/2014, 6:10:33 PM] Dan Olson: if GG morons spam the FBI and RCMP with hundreds of "this dude screencapped CP then censored it so that he could write an article about it!" they're going to go "oooooh, what's this website he's talking about again?????"
[23/12/2014, 6:11:15 PM] Alex Lifschitz: Yeah.
[23/12/2014, 6:11:34 PM] Alex Lifschitz: Like I was talking about with Zoe earlier: Hold steady, document, and wait for them to bare their throat before you rip it out.

Dan was "keeping [himself] busy" by "thanking everyone who sent [him] pet pic or wished [him] a merry Christmas."
[23/12/2014, 6:43:18 PM] Dan Olson: Yeah, fortunately my feed is a solid miix of GGers yelling at each other and people sending me kittens and bunnies and their pets
[23/12/2014, 6:43:19 PM] Athena Hollow: But yeah... that's what iwant to yell at them.
[23/12/2014, 6:43:25 PM] Athena Hollow: hahahah
[23/12/2014, 6:43:33 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: I swear, they'd all die of attention starvation if not for Kav AMiB Astrophilia and Jenni
[23/12/2014, 6:43:40 PM] Athena Hollow: I wish that were the case.
[23/12/2014, 6:43:42 PM] Dan Olson: so I'm keeping myself busy thanking everyone who sent me pet pic or wished me a merry Christmas.

To Dan, libertarians go hand in hand with "Nazis."
[23/12/2014, 6:58:45 PM] Dan Olson: I'm so sad that Transhumanism is so full of Libertarian/Nazi trash.
[23/12/2014, 6:59:16 PM] Dan Olson: When they build better eyeballs than the ones in my head I'm first in line.

Dan unironically joked about "collusion" after someone correctly surmised that he was friends with Zoe and that is why he made the Medium blog, while he was in a secret invite-only chat room with Zoe where they had planned the Medium post.
[23/12/2014, 7:14:05 PM] drinternetphd: also dan apparently we are friends http://i.gyazo.com/8cfcf2dec00f0b60c135e1bfca255655.png
View attachment 427724
[23/12/2014, 7:14:09 PM] drinternetphd: as of a few months ago
[23/12/2014, 7:14:24 PM] drinternetphd: because you covered my game apparently?
[23/12/2014, 7:14:31 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: rofl
[23/12/2014, 7:14:45 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: i never knew i was friends with miyamoto! charlottes going to be so excited
[23/12/2014, 7:14:55 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: hahaha

[23/12/2014, 7:15:47 PM] Dan Olson: And that episode was supr collusion with much unethical since we met for all of, what, 3 minutes at PAX?

[23/12/2014, 7:16:44 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: well now you're having a pleasant chat in some sort of secret "anti-GG" chat
[23/12/2014, 7:17:00 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: so as soon as you hop in your time machine, it's suddenly valid criticism.

In the "serious" chat, Dan excitedly talked about Gamergate "melting down." I haven't looked up the other chat member's tweets about the article, but we can see the first one, Nyberg's up above, where he explicitly included #gamergate, so it is weird that Dan is acting like his blog has nothing to do with Gamergate. According to Dan, this attack should have been the "'perfect' chance" for Gamergate to "distance itself" and "feign concern" (because, after months of dehumanizing them, "GG" is now just a hivemind for him) and he doesn't understand why people were reacting as if it was an attack on them, while he is sitting in two invite-only chat rooms with Zoe Quinn.
[23/12/2014, 7:18:22 PM] Dan Olson: They're melting down.
[23/12/2014, 7:18:45 PM] Dan Olson: It has absolutely fuck all to do with GG beyond 8chan as a communal platform.
[23/12/2014, 7:18:55 PM] Dan Olson: I didn't mention GG once.
[23/12/2014, 7:20:37 PM] Dan Olson: This is the *perfect* chance for GG to just straight up distance itself, suggest that maybe the rules are skirting the law a little too close, blah blah blah feign concern, re-write the site's rules to be vaguely more stringent on paper, tweet lots about how they're "ashamed of this behaviour" and "they didn't know it was this bad" but "super excited for the future"
[23/12/2014, 7:20:56 PM] Dan Olson: NOPE
[23/12/2014, 7:21:11 PM] drinternetphd: go on down with that ship you dumb fucks
[23/12/2014, 7:21:12 PM] Dan Olson: LET ALL FLIP OUR SHIT AND TAKE IT PERSONALLY!

The chat group was having doubts that anyone was actually reporting Dan to the authorities, Dan knew they were at least attempting to do so.
[23/12/2014, 7:23:13 PM] Dan Olson: I just wanna say I picked a DAMN good title.
[23/12/2014, 7:23:56 PM] Dan Olson: It's short, it fits in every tweet, and for those in "the lingo" it cuts right to the god damn bone.
[23/12/2014, 7:25:28 PM] Ian Cheong: You know, I don't believe any of them reported you to the FBI.
[23/12/2014, 7:25:48 PM] Ian Cheong: They're like those kids who play World of Warcraft and scream "REPORTED!!!!" when you argue with them.
[23/12/2014, 7:25:51 PM] Athena Hollow: lol
[23/12/2014, 7:26:15 PM] Dan Olson: I know they tried to report me to the RCMP, because they were complaining that the RCMP doesn't take anonymous tips internationally.
Dan was such a good little member of this clique that he volunteered to take over "monitoring" so Zoe could "work on her book pitch," which her boyfriend Alex said had "the best capacity to affect change."
[23/12/2014, 7:54:25 PM] Alex Lifschitz: FTR: We're going to start trying to pull away on the monitoring stuff as Zoe takes some time to work on her book pitch. That needs to keep going and has the best capacity to affect change.
[23/12/2014, 7:54:31 PM] Alex Lifschitz: This is kind of a Children of Men scenario.
[23/12/2014, 7:55:40 PM] Dan Olson: I can pick up some monitoring slack.

Dan believed he wasn't going to get in trouble for viewing, downloading, and then uploading edited images of what he considered CP, claiming that Canada's "protections for investigative reporting" would protect him. (The "Rob" seen in these logs is Rob Marmolejo, as with others he went on to be part of Crash Override Network, and was accused of sexually harassing at least twenty women, possibly getting their contact info through CON. )
[23/12/2014, 7:47:17 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: you missed a lot, rob x-x
[23/12/2014, 7:49:42 PM] Rob: I did?
[23/12/2014, 7:51:57 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: Actual sleep needed now.
[23/12/2014, 7:55:32 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: rob: dan posted an article exposing 8chan hosting sexual pictures of children. GG is now trying to report him to the FBI
[23/12/2014, 7:56:32 PM] Rob: Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooow
[23/12/2014, 8:00:21 PM] Dan Olson: Yeah.
[23/12/2014, 8:00:47 PM] Dan Olson: Twitter has died down to 3 notifications per minute so I'm gonna go to bed.
[23/12/2014, 8:02:27 PM] Rob: Later, sir. Take care of yourself.
[23/12/2014, 8:03:34 PM] Alex Lifschitz: Yeah, no worries. Check on with the chat tomorrow if you see something alarming.
[23/12/2014, 8:04:05 PM] Alex Lifschitz: Remember that they huff and puff and manufacture evidence to score points with each other, and there's no way the authorities would touch you and not 8chan. Or you at all, really.
[23/12/2014, 8:05:25 PM] Rob: Yeah, and if anything?
[23/12/2014, 8:05:33 PM] Rob: Them filing a bunch of bullshit with the FBI will only hurt them
[23/12/2014, 8:05:37 PM] Rob: false reports = bad news bears
[23/12/2014, 8:05:41 PM] Rob: LEOs hate having their time wasted.
[23/12/2014, 8:05:41 PM] Dan Olson: Canada has very good protections for investigative reporting.
[23/12/2014, 8:06:05 PM] Rob: So if they're sending in all kinds of bullshit false reports, it's far more likely they'll get arrested than anything else.
[23/12/2014, 8:06:32 PM] Dan Olson: It's part of why we produce world class documentary content, and have several of the highest rated media/journalism schools in the world.

Edit: It looks like I have the spoiler glitch going on and it looks like there's too much text for it to handle in one post, will have to cut it apart and post the other segments later.

This entire thing reads like a mafia organized shit. These motherfuckers actually thought by pulling some strings that people wouldn't notice. They actually believe they are the greater good back in the day despite plotting, talking, and operating like a big mafia. These motherfuckers lack the self awareness to even realize the big glaring flaw to their approach because all of them drink too much of what they say, or are too sociopathic to realize why GG was created in the first place . We have the whore, the pedophile, the liar, and cuck all in the same group. All of the circle jerking in these messages. And yet this are the people Chez Apocalypse went out of their fucking way to draw a line between neutral parties?!

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS WRONG WITH THEM!?

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS WRONG WITH THEM!?

The logic they operated under was the same as the Crusades:

"If we are fighting what we deem evil incarnate, how can any act taken against it be wrong?"

Therefore, with that premise, they had a built-in excuse to perform the most fucked up and despicable acts and could absolve themselves of any guilt in advance.
 
SF is Aaron Simpson, in quite possibly an act of karma relating to his behavior towards Gamergaters, his partner of 13 years cheated on him with another man and left Aaron less than a year after he decided to Stan for serial cheater Zoe Quinn. He now spends his days compulsively masturbating while also suicide baiting on Twitter and dreaming of being an "antifa" thug and planning suicide assaults on "local nazis", only to melt down because his asthma means tear gas will destroy him. Aaron has also been confirmed to have been a volunteer for Crash Override Network.

Continuing with the logs, Dan gets doxed, TGWTG/Channel Awesome gets "piiiiiiiissssed," and Dan ends up breaking down in tears over cat gifs. (The spoiler glitch is happening again and ruined my formatting)

It was revealed Dan was doxed at some point and they moved it into their "Serious" chat room discussion.

[24/12/2014, 2:25:48 AM] Ian Cheong: Dan got doxed.
[24/12/2014, 2:25:50 AM] Ian Cheong: fyi.
[24/12/2014, 2:25:56 AM] Ian Cheong: https://www.reddit.com/r/GamerGhazi/comments/2q6qkr/foldable_human_has_been_doxxed/
[24/12/2014, 2:26:04 AM] drinternetphd: God damnit


[24/12/2014, 2:26:05 AM] Izzy (@iglvzx): Only other people against GG that come to mind are TFYCultralMarxist and SJWReptillian, but they have a history of taking things too far
[24/12/2014, 2:26:09 AM] Tesseract: also add me to seriouschat
[24/12/2014, 2:26:32 AM] Rob: fUCK.
[24/12/2014, 2:26:42 AM] Ian Cheong: dont freak out. its probably one of his old addresses.
[24/12/2014, 2:26:53 AM] Izzy (@iglvzx): Tess, Alex added you
[24/12/2014, 2:26:54 AM] drinternetphd: These fucking people.
[24/12/2014, 2:27:07 AM] Tesseract: oh I guess nobody's talked in there since he did that then
[24/12/2014, 2:27:08 AM] Tesseract: good
[24/12/2014, 2:27:13 AM] Tesseract: fuck things that are serious



[24/12/2014, 2:51:34 AM] Dan Olson: what's the info? I need to see it.
[24/12/2014, 2:51:46 AM] Dan Olson: wait, secure
[24/12/2014, 2:51:49 AM] Dan Olson: other chat

The chat was watching as 8chan began digging on Dan and were dumping info on him. They had two addresses and Dan said neither was "remotely accurate," although one was close to his parent's house.
[24/12/2014, 2:53:24 AM] Izzy (@iglvzx): Dan, I found this through Google: http://webcache.googleusercontent.c...ml+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=firefox-a

[24/12/2014, 2:53:37 AM] Izzy (@iglvzx): has 2 of your addresses
[24/12/2014, 2:54:26 AM] Tesseract: about what?
[24/12/2014, 2:54:45 AM] Remy: We were updating Dan on his DOX that GG has been releasing
[24/12/2014, 2:54:51 AM] Tesseract: nah I have nothing on that
[24/12/2014, 2:55:01 AM] Remy: Oh well I'm dumb and I'm sorry for mis-speaking
[24/12/2014, 2:55:39 AM] Remy: Izzy found a great cache on it though, Dan it looks like they are trying to disseminate two addresses, one for "New Brighton Gardens SE" and another for "Sunwood RD SE", both within Calgary


[24/12/2014, 2:57:28 AM] Dan Olson: None of those are remotely accurate, though one is kinda in the same neighhbourhood as my parents

Diggers screencapped a Facebook conversation which Dan said shouldn't have been public, where he had told someone to call one of his former co-workers. The chat speculated that people would try to social engineer Dan's info out of the co-worker, Dan planned to call him and see if they had info on the correct Ron, and then had to ask the chat if he should warn the guy that his info had been posted online. Dan also commented on his alleged CP being "technically legal," saying that if that is the case it "protects [him] more than them" and then said the "environment" and "context" "pushes their technically legal into crime time."
[24/12/2014, 3:01:05 AM] Dan Olson: I know a Ron HildebrandT
[24/12/2014, 3:02:34 AM] Remy: Dan: I'm not sure if your Ron matches their Ron but if you want me to send you the info they are spreading as his, you can cross-reference and determine if one of your friends is about to be contacted by a bunch of strangers on the internet
[24/12/2014, 3:06:09 AM] Dan Olson: It doesn't seem to be. I'm going to call the number, and if it's my Ron then we can chat, and if it's not then hey, sorry, wrong number
[24/12/2014, 3:06:28 AM] Remy: God I'm so jealous of you
[24/12/2014, 3:06:44 AM] Remy: Sorry. I have a mini panic attack every time I try to initiate a phone call
[24/12/2014, 3:06:44 AM] Dan Olson: wait, this is weird
[24/12/2014, 3:06:48 AM] Dan Olson: and fucked
[24/12/2014, 3:08:00 AM] Ian Cheong: Yep.
[24/12/2014, 3:08:19 AM] Dan Olson: they have a screen cap of a conversation hat shouldn't be public where I told someone to give Ron a call, and that has his (old work) number in plain view


[24/12/2014, 3:08:37 AM] Remy: It probably became exposed after one of Facebook's privacy setting updates
[24/12/2014, 3:08:51 AM] Dan Olson: I mean, there's not much they can compromise with that, AHS is a massive government organization and neither of us work there anymore
[24/12/2014, 3:08:56 AM] Ian Cheong: They are probably going to try to social engineer your address from Ron.


[24/12/2014, 3:09:12 AM] Ian Cheong: Basically, call Ron pretending to be someone who needs your current address/phone number.
[24/12/2014, 3:09:13 AM] Dan Olson: Ron and I haven't talked for, like, a year and a half.
[24/12/2014, 3:09:55 AM] Dan Olson: yeah, totally.
[24/12/2014, 3:10:11 AM] Dan Olson: I guess if it IS a wrong number/wrong Ron, do I warn them, too?
[24/12/2014, 3:10:30 AM] Ian Cheong: I'd warn them, yeah.
[24/12/2014, 3:15:41 AM] Dan Olson: The thing that my harassers don't get is that their "technically legal" BS actually protects me more than them.
[24/12/2014, 3:16:00 AM] Dan Olson: It's the environment they've created, the context, that pushes their technically legal shit into crime time.
[24/12/2014, 3:16:12 AM] Izzy (@iglvzx): Yeah.
[24/12/2014, 3:17:01 AM] Tesseract: oh whoops I forgot about sending that report to internet.bs
[24/12/2014, 3:17:06 AM] Tesseract: link me some articles
[24/12/2014, 3:17:53 AM] Dan Olson: like, 8chan forums?


[24/12/2014, 3:28:25 AM] Dan Olson: man, they're actually really bad at this
[24/12/2014, 3:29:15 AM] Dan Olson: like, okay, if you'e going to put together someone's doxx you'd think you'd at least include the email address that they list as their contact in the crdits of every episode they've ever made?


[24/12/2014, 3:42:03 AM] Dan Olson: They keep mentioning that one journalist who went to jail for admitting to downloading CP, and they can't even get the facts right.
[24/12/2014, 3:43:05 AM] Dan Olson: 1) he claimed "research" as a retroactive defence
2) he claimed he was researching for a *a fictional character he was going to play* not for journalism

Confirming once again that all of this was indeed about Gamergate, the chat was drafting up emails to send to media outlets and was explicitly saying this was a "new development in the GamerGate story.".

[24/12/2014, 5:18:17 AM] Rob: "There's been a new development in the GamerGate story that may interest you and your readers. 8-chan, which is a nexus of GamerGate activity, also hosts child pornography with the direct knowledge of its founder [WHATEVER HIS NAME IS] Brennan. My friend Dan Olson documented all of this at [INSERT LINK]. "

Dan said he had to tell Channel Awesome "what's up" and later in the "serious" chat Dan said people with That Guy With the Glasses were "piiiiiiiissssed" after people began emailing them about Dan's CP gambit.
[24/12/2014, 4:41:29 AM] Dan Olson: Alright, I think that's the majority of emails and phone calls and informing Channel Awesome about what's up, now I can shower and go buy fabric so I can make crap. MAKE STUFF!

[24/12/2014, 7:34:38 AM] Dan Olson: Ah, dang, blowback has been hitting TGWTG and people are piiiiiiiissssed

Dan was so triggered by chat in World of Warcraft that for the first time in ten years he had to disable the trade and general chat channels.
[24/12/2014, 7:06:35 AM] Dan Olson: WoW general chat has been an absolute garbage pile since the expansion
[24/12/2014, 7:06:43 AM] Dan Olson: Worse than Barrens chat
[24/12/2014, 7:07:16 AM] Athena Hollow: The newest one?
[24/12/2014, 7:07:38 AM] Dan Olson: yeah, so just this past month
[24/12/2014, 7:08:09 AM] Dan Olson: Things were reasonably civil though Mists of Pandaria, but with 2014 being the shitshow that it has it's just racist s fuck right now.
[24/12/2014, 7:08:09 AM] Athena Hollow: ah
[24/12/2014, 7:08:15 AM] Athena Hollow: ugh
[24/12/2014, 7:08:34 AM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: dan: if moving servers is viable, i suggest RP servers
[24/12/2014, 7:08:40 AM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: the people there tend to be much much nicer
[24/12/2014, 7:08:59 AM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: the toxicity was an order of magnitude lower when i played on RP servers
[24/12/2014, 7:09:18 AM] Dan Olson: I've got my little isolationist guild, so I'm good, but for the first time in ten years I shut off trade and general.
[24/12/2014, 7:09:53 AM] Dan Olson: Part of it could just be a change in habit. I'm spending so much time idling in my Garrison

Dan started complaining about "GarbageGolems" tweeting at him and posting on 8chan and he began to get stressed out because he felt he was not able to do anything else. He began crying a few hours later after he had been "dreading checking [his] twitter mentions" only to find a bunch of Twitter spergs wishing him happy holidays and "sending [him] gifs of their cats."
[24/12/2014, 11:49:18 AM] Dan Olson: Kay, the funk is starting to catch up to me. I'm getting snide with GarbageGolems and I want to just sit and play a game or read a book or watch some Trek but I can't, I have to keep checking that Twitter and the 8chan threads to see if anyone's dropping Dox or just... it's catching up.

[24/12/2014, 12:42:34 PM] Dan Olson: So two GarbageGolems, in the span of a couple minutes, sent me tweets, one was all "dan's a criminal" and the other "there's nothing illegal on 8chan!" so I told them to just fight with each other instead of me. Then mister "nothing illegal" was all "what would we fight about, you're a criminal?" so I pointed out his minutes-old tweet and haven't heard back from either of them since.

[24/12/2014, 1:25:44 PM] Dan Olson: I've been dreading checking my twitter mentions for an hour now, and finally did, and nary a GarbageGolem in sight, just a pile of people wishing me happy holidays and sending me gifs of their cats and now I'm sitting here in tears.

We pick up about an hour later on another batch of logs. http://archive.is/zhuD5

Dan began discussing someone named Aurini, and has some personal history with the guy as they "both competed for that same STORYHIVE grant." Aurini made a film, Dan says "that piece of shit cost 10,000$" and was filmed in 10 weeks. He also claims the rules of the competition were changed in response to Aurini's film "Purely because "Lust in a Time of Heartache" is so bad, and because Aurini is so gross."
[24/12/2014, 2:21:45 PM] Dan Olson: oh, dang, I saw that Aurini fanfic, but now I can't find it
[24/12/2014, 2:21:54 PM] Ian Cheong: Have you seen Aurini's movie?
[24/12/2014, 2:22:16 PM] Ian Cheong: He made a movie!
[24/12/2014, 2:22:33 PM] Dan Olson: I've been following those dolts since the beginning. As a film maker it's endless entertainment.
[24/12/2014, 2:23:02 PM] Dan Olson: since we're not in public, story time
[24/12/2014, 2:23:04 PM] drinternetphd: oh my god yeah
[24/12/2014, 2:23:07 PM] drinternetphd: aurini made a noir
[24/12/2014, 2:23:08 PM] drinternetphd: and it's
[24/12/2014, 2:23:16 PM] drinternetphd: I can't tell if he's joking
[24/12/2014, 2:23:17 PM] Dan Olson: so Aurini and I both competed for that same STORYHIVE grant
[24/12/2014, 2:23:29 PM] Dan Olson: that piece of shit cost 10,000$


[24/12/2014, 2:24:01 PM] Dan Olson: itwas the only one at the screening that Telus added a "the views and opinions blah blah blah we disown this" disclaimer too

[24/12/2014, 2:24:42 PM] Dan Olson: and after it was submitted Telus called up a friend of mine who advises for them and were all "how the fuck do we make sure this can never happen again?!?!"

[24/12/2014, 2:25:16 PM] Dan Olson: So they changed the rules of the competition.

[24/12/2014, 2:25:46 PM] Dina : oh holy shit dude I love your show from the Chez Apocalypse times *fangirls*

[24/12/2014, 2:25:54 PM] Dan Olson: Purely because "Lust in a Time of Heartache" is so bad, and because Aurini is so gross.

[24/12/2014, 2:27:03 PM] Dan Olson: so when his 10,000$ budget short couldn't be arsed to hire a sound recordist I was delighted to hear he was going to try and make a feature doc.
[24/12/2014, 2:28:22 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: So, what you're saying is, this film took only 2 months and change to shoot?


[24/12/2014, 2:28:38 PM] Dan Olson: yeah, they had 10 weeks, and 10,000$
[24/12/2014, 2:31:44 PM] Dan Olson: This all gets even better when you read Davis' blog post defending his shitty work, saying that "planning is all well and good for fat cats with big budgets"


[24/12/2014, 2:42:21 PM] Dan Olson: Watch the credits for Ninjas in a Time of Turtlenecks and take a drink for every major department that's completely missing! (You will go blind and/or die)

[24/12/2014, 2:42:59 PM] Dan Olson: Gaffer? Noooope. Grip? Noooope. Sound? Nooooope. Director of Photography?! NOOOOPE!

[24/12/2014, 2:44:10 PM] Quinnae: Dear gods. Looking at this awful, teenage bout of uncontrolled onanism through a black and white filter...
[24/12/2014, 2:44:20 PM] Quinnae: This is sad
[24/12/2014, 2:44:30 PM] Dan Olson: yeah, and he's, like, 29

Pedophile Nick Nyberg said he was "really upset" after someone said he shared CP and never reported it (guilty conscience? Nyberg did in fact share CP on the FF Shrine chat room he owned, and likely has never reported it in his life since he is, well, a pedophile). Dan was confident he wasn't going to be arrested by 24 hours of anxiety and dread had been taking its toll. He also thought it was funny that people kept joking about him being in jail every time he was off Twitter.
[24/12/2014, 1:55:47 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: https://twitter.com/vidyanight/status/547628082920968192 -_-
[24/12/2014, 1:57:53 PM] Quinnae: Sarah, just so you know, you have my full support, and I'm sorry you're getting hit with these disgusting accusations. Moral bankruptcy really upsets me.

thank you, katherine. this is one of the few things that really upset me tbh :( dan's getting it much worse now though
[24/12/2014, 2:34:44 PM] Dan Olson: Slowing, I think. My last rant spiked it up, but I manually blocked a few people earlier in the evening, so it seems to just be the same few people arguing with my followers.
[24/12/2014, 2:35:03 PM] Dan Olson: 'cus I'm only seeing half these convos
[24/12/2014, 2:37:44 PM] Dan Olson: yeah, the accusations are so openly toothless that they haven't gotten to me in any direct way. Like I'm not sitting here going "oh, god, am I actually going to go to jail?!" because I know I'm not. It's just the grind that, after 24 hours, is taking its toll. I cuddled with Laura, had a good cry at an outpouring of support, and I'm doing pretty good now.
[24/12/2014, 2:37:57 PM] drinternetphd: good to hear
[24/12/2014, 2:38:05 PM] drinternetphd: ok be back in a bit


[24/12/2014, 2:38:14 PM] Quinnae: hugs Dan Good to hear, and I'm sorry. Honestly, there are times I wish I could've cried more than I have.

[24/12/2014, 2:38:49 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: glad you're okay, dan. and yeah, they're being ridiculous. reddit, medium, twitter, etc don't find any of what you wrote objectionable. not ONE place took it down

[24/12/2014, 2:39:19 PM] Dan Olson: It's kinda funny watching 8chan speculate that I've been arrested whenever I don't tweet for more than an hour.

Dan said he had installed the GG autoblocker but removed it because it was "interfering with documenting the garbage."
[24/12/2014, 5:55:15 PM] Veerender Jubbal: I did not use the autoblocker...
[24/12/2014, 5:57:55 PM] Dan Olson: I used it for about two days, then it started interfering with documenting the garbage.
[24/12/2014, 5:58:06 PM] Dan Olson: so I shut it off

Dan believed someone being able to undistort the alleged CP he uploaded was impossible and went on ALL CAPS sperg out trying to mock the person.

[25/12/2014, 12:51:04 AM] Dan Olson: "You can use digital forensics to remove distortions so any pedos that gets his article can uncensore the images in it." - ACTUAL ARGUMENT FROM A STUPID PERSON WHI THINKS CSI IS A DOCUMENTARY

[25/12/2014, 12:51:18 AM] Izzy (@iglvzx): ...
[25/12/2014, 12:51:41 AM] Dan Olson: WHAT'S DESTRUCTIVE RASTERIZATION, PRECIOUS?!
[25/12/2014, 12:51:51 AM] Tesseract: ZOOM IN
[25/12/2014, 12:51:53 AM] Izzy (@iglvzx): you know. the distortion is just saved as a separate layer above the original.

[25/12/2014, 12:52:43 AM] Ian Cheong: im laughing at that CSI comment
[25/12/2014, 12:52:44 AM] Dan Olson: ENHANCE, GOD DAMMIT! WHY DOES IT JUST LOOK LIKE AN ATARI THREW UP ON MY SCREEN?!
[25/12/2014, 12:54:22 AM] Dan Olson: That's an excellent contribution. I f***ing love CSI classic. It's exactly my kind of garbage television.
[25/12/2014, 12:54:33 AM] Ian Cheong: I've watched up to season 7 of CSI
[25/12/2014, 12:54:35 AM] Remy: We got an internet mob to switch from screaming "This isn't illegal" to screaming "I'm going to report you to the police" honestly this move should be a dance number
[25/12/2014, 12:55:24 AM] Dan Olson: CSI and Law&Order. I've seen every. Single. Episode. of all 20 seasons of Law and Order.
[25/12/2014, 12:55:33 AM] Remy: I wonder how much we can keep twisting them to invert their own logic into itself just to try and cling to the idea that they didn't fuck up and join a group of shady people doing terrible things
[25/12/2014, 12:55:49 AM] Remy: Lol I grew up as a Law & Order maniac
[25/12/2014, 12:55:56 AM] Izzy (@iglvzx): I <3 Mariska Hargitay
[25/12/2014, 12:56:03 AM] Remy: Pretty much all I would ever watch is standup comedy or Law & Order, because there was always one of those two things on
[25/12/2014, 12:56:11 AM] Dan Olson: I don't know, they're pretty twisted up right now, and seem to clam up pretty quick if you actually point out the contradiction to them.
[25/12/2014, 12:56:47 AM] Dan Olson: or just sink to schoolyard insults as a response

Dan (and Nyberg, above) considered Facebook/Medium/Twitter not taking down his post meaning they had given him "tacit approval."

[25/12/2014, 7:37:06 AM] Dan Olson: 600 notifications, so I just skipped to the bottom. I'm holding up well. Spent the afternoon spreading Christmas cheer. About to start a batch of cookies.
[25/12/2014, 7:37:29 AM] Izzy (@iglvzx): Dan, it's been fairly quiet. No new developments from GG that I've seen
[25/12/2014, 7:37:37 AM] Izzy (@iglvzx): just them continuing to file false reports
[25/12/2014, 7:38:30 AM] Dan Olson: Thinking of grabbing that stuff, put up a storify in a few days "8chan users agree, 8chan hosts CP" but that might be needless antagonism.
[25/12/2014, 7:39:12 AM] Izzy (@iglvzx): If you do that, get with @DiscordianKitty, they've been doing a great job documenting GGers defending CP
[25/12/2014, 7:39:16 AM] Izzy (@iglvzx): https://twitter.com/DiscordianKitty

[25/12/2014, 7:44:05 AM] Izzy (@iglvzx): LOL, those GGers saying Dan deleted the article.
[25/12/2014, 7:44:51 AM] Quinnae: hugs Dan
[25/12/2014, 7:45:10 AM] Quinnae: So sorry this is still flooding you, and on Christmas no less.
[25/12/2014, 7:45:23 AM] Dan Olson: Still up
[25/12/2014, 7:45:54 AM] Dan Olson: of course they're using the whole "oh, I heard it's got CP, I'm not gonna check" to avoid confirming, reenforcing their own stupidity.
[25/12/2014, 7:46:13 AM] Dan Olson: I do wonder how many reports Medium has gotten
[25/12/2014, 7:47:08 AM] Dan Olson: Because at this point Facebook, Medium, and Twitter have all given their tacit approval (for what that's worth) but doing nothing.
[25/12/2014, 7:47:21 AM] Dan Olson: by doing nothing, not but

The next batch of logs will start early in the morning on Christmas Day 2014, when Dan and the chat group decided to be "assholes" and buy an ad for Dan's Medium blog on /r/KotakuInAction to try and antagonize Gamergate on Christmas.

I've always found it slightly ironic that social justice types seem to have such a fondness for cats, because at heart, cats are essentially their polar opposites. They're 100% carnivorous, they kill for sport, they actively oppress and terrorize the weaker members of their species, and on top of all that, they're also fiercely territorial and distrusting of outsiders.

I know that cats are incapable of forming political opinions, but let's be honest here, they're basically cute and cuddly fascists.

Polar opposites? More like mirror images.

But tbh cats are adorable and I don't trust anyone who doesn't like them.
 
We continue our jaunt through the secret anti-Gamergate chat group's logs, the following took place on Christmas Day and Boxing Day 2014. Dan was planning on "quietly" leaving Channel Awesome after they got pissed off at him after they had been getting emails about Dan's involvement with CP.
Part 1: December 22-23
Part 2: December 23-24
This is early in the AM on Christmas Day, the chat group planned to antagonize Gamergate by buying an ad for Dan's Medium post on /r/KotakuInAction and Dan was extremely willing to throw money at this and pay more if everyone else is too cheap to pitch in, even going so far as to say "Folding Ideas" will "cover the spread." Note some of the comments where the participants admit they are only doing this to 'be an asshole to nerds' and act like "glorious assholes" and "dicks." They did end up paying for it but because they dreamt up this idea at like 1 AM EST on Christmas morning, the ad wouldn't be up until the 26th.
[25/12/2014, 2:07:09 PM] Tesseract: anyone here have 50-100 bucks for that kia ad
[25/12/2014, 2:07:30 PM] Alex Lifschitz: I mean I'll toss in like 20
[25/12/2014, 2:07:42 PM] Tesseract: how long will 20 keep it up for?
[25/12/2014, 2:07:48 PM] Ian Cheong: i can toss in 10.
[25/12/2014, 2:07:49 PM] Alex Lifschitz: No clue.
[25/12/2014, 2:09:31 PM] SF: I can toss in 10.

[25/12/2014, 2:11:17 PM] Dan Olson: I did 50$ on an ad buy once, but that was for /r/movies, so the traffic there devoured 50$ in, like, two hours.
[25/12/2014, 2:11:25 PM] drinternetphd: drinternetphd has renamed this conversation to “The Glorious Asshole Coalition (Social)”
[25/12/2014, 2:20:41 PM] Dan Olson: oh, man, looking through my old Reddit account trying to find the stats from my ad buy, found l old convo with TotallyBriskillit

[25/12/2014, 2:21:21 PM] Athena Hollow: One to Dan's article on KiA

[25/12/2014, 2:27:01 PM] Alex Lifschitz: What should we title the link
[25/12/2014, 2:27:11 PM] Tesseract: of the ad?
[25/12/2014, 2:27:15 PM] Tesseract: just the title of the article
[25/12/2014, 2:27:15 PM] Ian Cheong: yeah of the ad.
[25/12/2014, 2:27:40 PM] Remy: The account name should be PedoSenpai

[25/12/2014, 2:32:48 PM] Dan Olson: Basically the money from Folding Ideas, since it's only 30-200$ a month, just goes into a PayPal account, and I buy online crap out of that.
[25/12/2014, 2:33:04 PM] Alex Lifschitz: Alright, I don't have any dang money so I'd need to add up what people are willing to pitch in.

[25/12/2014, 2:36:07 PM] Tesseract: but ten bucks
[25/12/2014, 2:36:44 PM] Alex Lifschitz: Wait, so Dan, you're saying the $30 pledged so far on top of 50?
[25/12/2014, 2:37:17 PM] Izzy (@iglvzx): Will send my $10 by the end of next week when I has monies
[25/12/2014, 2:37:27 PM] Dan Olson: 20+whatever it takes to get over 50
[25/12/2014, 2:37:58 PM] drinternetphd: I call this method of crowdfunding to be an asshole: "dickstarter"

Dan has beef with TotalBiscuit (he can be seen randomly attacking him multiple times in the chat logs), he suggested "that blue GG portrait of Baine" as an image to use on the ad. Continuing his dehumanization, Dan thinks all of Gamergate were "gleefully uneducated and uncultured fucks" because of 8chans infinity symbol.
[25/12/2014, 2:38:44 PM] Alex Lifschitz: OMG wait we can put an image
[25/12/2014, 2:38:52 PM] Tesseract: oh god

[25/12/2014, 2:40:06 PM] Dan Olson: oh, god, totally unethical, but that blue GG portrait of Baine
[25/12/2014, 2:44:52 PM] Dan Olson: god, yes, 8chan snake over GG heart

[25/12/2014, 2:45:44 PM] drinternetphd: what about evidence over discussion?

[25/12/2014, 2:49:48 PM] Dan Olson: yeah, and it just goes to show that they're all gleefully uneducated and uncultured fucks. Ouruboros eats its tail, and no one gives a shit about amphisbaena.
[25/12/2014, 2:50:04 PM] Remy: XD

[25/12/2014, 2:56:33 PM] Dan Olson: If anyone runs into problems, or if money's just that tight, Folding Ideas will cover the spread.
[25/12/2014, 2:57:21 PM] Izzy (@iglvzx): lol, earlier today KiA freaked out over that ad because they thought GamerGhazi made it
[25/12/2014, 2:57:30 PM] Peter Coffin: Folding ideas?
[25/12/2014, 2:57:34 PM] drinternetphd: :|
[25/12/2014, 2:57:43 PM] Dan Olson: My show
[25/12/2014, 2:57:47 PM] Tesseract: nah it's some fucker who wants to profit over the month-dead shirtgate
[25/12/2014, 2:57:48 PM] Dan Olson: the money from my show
[25/12/2014, 2:57:53 PM] Dan Olson: sits in PayPal
[25/12/2014, 2:57:56 PM] Peter Coffin: OH
[25/12/2014, 2:58:15 PM] Peter Coffin: Right, I was like what did that have to do with money
[25/12/2014, 2:58:18 PM] Peter Coffin: Sorry


Dan wanted to go to MAGfest just to see Arthur Chu's panel, and immediately thought about Gamergate and roleplayed them complaining about "oldfag shit" being shitted up.
[25/12/2014, 3:06:47 PM] Dan Olson: I almost want to try and scrape together cash to go to MAGfest just to go to Arthur's panel.
[25/12/2014, 3:07:58 PM] Dan Olson: Complaining that MAGfest isn't going to let them shit up the place "Jesus wtf happened to all the oldfag shit? First something aweful, then 4chan, now magfest?"


Dan wanted to start "churning out shitty niche erotica for Kindle."
[25/12/2014, 3:29:19 PM] Dan Olson: What's the Kindle Books page minimum? 12? 14?
[25/12/2014, 3:29:20 PM] Remy: But there's one scene that would have to be put in
[25/12/2014, 3:29:52 PM] Ian Cheong: 10 pages i think
[25/12/2014, 3:29:56 PM] Athena Hollow: much better. popcicle toes no longer :biggrin:
[25/12/2014, 3:29:57 PM] Peter Coffin: Wasn't a recent book 11
[25/12/2014, 3:30:22 PM] Remy: Where the Fedoramancer rescues the Hooker Damsel In Distress and she exclaims that he's Just So Manly That She'll Be With Him For Free (like that scene in every fucking video game) only he rejects her because he's surrounded by ninjas
[25/12/2014, 3:30:27 PM] Peter Coffin: By people not knowing how top not be shit
[25/12/2014, 3:30:30 PM] Peter Coffin: To
[25/12/2014, 3:30:58 PM] Remy: btw I do not like using the word "hooker" myself ^_^" Was using that b/c it would have been the Noire wording
[25/12/2014, 3:31:04 PM] Remy: Noir*?
[25/12/2014, 3:31:14 PM] Peter Coffin: I got it
[25/12/2014, 3:31:53 PM] Remy: David don't tell me your'e going to make a GamerGate story
[25/12/2014, 3:31:53 PM] Dan Olson: I've been repeatedly tempted to just start churning out shitty niche erotica for Kindle. And extra 15$ every odd week for an afternoon of writing isn't that bad a deal.
[25/12/2014, 3:37:27 PM] Remy: And vampires and werewolves are done
[25/12/2014, 3:37:30 PM] Remy: what about mummies?
[25/12/2014, 3:37:35 PM] Remy: Have people done mummy porn yet?
[25/12/2014, 3:37:42 PM] Remy: necrophiliacs needs books, too
[25/12/2014, 3:37:51 PM] Izzy (@iglvzx): Oh, baby, unwrap me
[25/12/2014, 3:37:55 PM] Remy: XD
[25/12/2014, 3:38:01 PM] Dan Olson: Probably someone has done mummy, but it's def not overdone
[25/12/2014, 3:38:08 PM] Athena Hollow: Dina wrote that Davis/Skull ship yesterday. Does that count?
[25/12/2014, 3:38:10 PM] Dan Olson: and it's got a built in "fix him" hook
[25/12/2014, 3:38:13 PM] Tesseract: I looked for it but it just gave me "mommy" spelled mummy
[25/12/2014, 3:38:20 PM] Tesseract: also rollercoasters http://railrunnermiranda.deviantart.com/gallery/
[25/12/2014, 3:38:28 PM] Ian Cheong: Link to Dina's fic of davis/skull?
[25/12/2014, 3:38:31 PM] Ian Cheong: I haven't read it.
[25/12/2014, 3:38:42 PM] Dan Olson: like, he's all bandaged, so she nurses him to nakedness and it turns out he's actually a super hot Egyptian mangod.


The logs/Dan returns 13 hours after the last and it's now afternoon on Christmas Day. He had over a thousand Twitter notifications. He made a comment as he was leaving to Christmas dinner about it being "quiet" that day, as if he didn't understand why everyone else was busy with a major holiday and not sitting in a Skype chat buying ads to be "assholes" to people like himself and the others did. http://archive.is/iRR4f
[26/12/2014, 4:55:49 AM] Dan Olson: I saw that propagandacheck article, then realized there were over a thousand notices to go through, so skipped to the bottom. Anything important happen in the last couple hours?
[26/12/2014, 4:56:01 AM] Ian Cheong: Nope, nothing of note.
[26/12/2014, 4:56:08 AM] Ian Cheong: Though Zoe did get a funny video sent to her.
[26/12/2014, 4:56:11 AM] Dan Olson: Sweet, blessed silence.
[26/12/2014, 4:57:36 AM] Dan Olson: oh, crap, I had a joke planned for hours, then forgot it once I sat down
[26/12/2014, 4:57:37 AM] Veerender Jubbal: Trenchcoat-sensei like bathrobe-sensei.
[26/12/2014, 4:57:41 AM] Dan Olson: okay, pretend I'm not here
[26/12/2014, 4:57:49 AM] Ian Cheong: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2fJ760eoGA
[26/12/2014, 4:57:51 AM] Chris Kluwe: crickets
[26/12/2014, 4:57:51 AM] Ian Cheong: Here's the video
[26/12/2014, 4:58:00 AM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: oh, hi chris! merry christmas
[26/12/2014, 4:58:00 AM] Dan Olson: Merry Christmas from Prison! JK, I'm eating waffles with my family!
[26/12/2014, 5:53:53 AM] Randi Harper: okay, so, what's the deal with all this childporn shit? As far as I can tell, this has been the conversation:
us: "8chan hosts CP!"
them: "We report CP."
us: "Here is CP that's on 8chan."
them: "REPORTING YOU TO THE FBI FOR DISTRIBUTING CP"
[26/12/2014, 5:53:57 AM] Randi Harper: am I reading that right?
[26/12/2014, 5:54:05 AM] Remy: Yup
[26/12/2014, 5:54:21 AM] Chris Kluwe: that about covers it
[26/12/2014, 5:54:33 AM] Chris Kluwe: see, the actual crime isn't hosting the CP on your site and failing to moderate it off
[26/12/2014, 5:54:42 AM] Chris Kluwe: it's TELLING people about that
[26/12/2014, 5:54:45 AM] Remy: XD
[26/12/2014, 5:55:25 AM] Randi Harper: sigh
[26/12/2014, 5:55:27 AM] Randi Harper: (sheep)
[26/12/2014, 5:55:33 AM] Dan Olson: Combined with accusations that I planted the porn, followed immediately by dismissal that the content isn't actually porn, followed by just calling me a pedophile because "how else would you know it's there?"
[26/12/2014, 5:56:03 AM] Dan Olson: plus a massive heap of "WHY DIDN'T YOU REPORT IT THEN KEEP YOUR FUCKING MOUTH SHUT?!?!?"
[26/12/2014, 5:56:17 AM] Randi Harper: they appear to be quite fixated on the idea of us planting things to call them out on.
[26/12/2014, 5:56:20 AM] Chris Kluwe: all coming from a horde of loli- shota- twitter avatars
[26/12/2014, 5:56:26 AM] Ian Cheong: They expect people to report the CP to the admins on 8chan so they can cover it up and pretend that their website isn't a venue where pedophiles congregate and share their disgusting caches.
[26/12/2014, 5:56:49 AM] Dan Olson: because they know that the reports go into the Twilight Zone due to the institutional disincentives to pursuing softcore distribution hives.
[26/12/2014, 5:58:02 AM] Dan Olson: and they know that the site admins don't care unless it's hardcore because the site admins wrote the fucking rules saying "yeah, a 6 year old bending over so you can see her vulva through her underwear is 100% above board as far as we're concerned. Shit, we'll put that one on a banner!"
[26/12/2014, 7:16:31 AM] Dan Olson: Yes, she is. Alright, off to my parents for dinner for real. Catch up with everyone in a couple hours, hopefully today will stay this quiet.


Dan was called a "transphobe" and the thought stayed with him for hours, he did admit he "used to be kinda transphobic" because he was a "privileged-white-dude-from-the-suburbs" and implies he had written transphobic things on a blog in the past. Dan and the others were wondering when/if his Medium blog was getting picked up by "major media outlets" and Dan believed it would have been "grabbed hard right away" if it wasn't Christmas.
[26/12/2014, 1:11:46 PM] Izzy (@iglvzx): nothing else pressing. no new OPs or whatever that I can see
[26/12/2014, 1:11:53 PM] drinternetphd: ok cool
[26/12/2014, 1:12:11 PM] Dan Olson: yeah, though I did get called a transphobe earlier today with no clarification
[26/12/2014, 1:12:31 PM] Dan Olson: I dunno, maybe they found something kinda shitty I wrote on a blog a decade ago?
[26/12/2014, 1:30:49 PM] Dan Olson: Well, it's been 5 hours and no one's clarified on the tweet "Watch as nobody on their side mentions how @FoldableHuman is transphobic." sooooooooooo...
[26/12/2014, 1:31:51 PM] Dan Olson: I used to be kinda transphobic in that privileged-white-dude-from-the-suburbs kinda way, but I like to think I've grown past that.
[26/12/2014, 1:15:25 PM] Izzy (@iglvzx): Have any major media outlets picked up on the 8chan & CP stuff?
[26/12/2014, 1:15:49 PM] Chris Kluwe: heh, Ken doesn't like my "sensationalism" :p
[26/12/2014, 1:15:56 PM] Remy: I haven't pitched it to the folks I know at PBS newshour yet
[26/12/2014, 1:16:01 PM] Chris Kluwe: which is fine, you're allowed to not like the way i write things
[26/12/2014, 1:16:15 PM] Remy: B/C that relationship is really tenuous and I prefer to prove my value rather than appear clingy
[26/12/2014, 1:16:17 PM] Dan Olson: No, but it's starting to get in their ears. It's had enough hang time that they could grab it once the post-Christmas normal sets in
[26/12/2014, 1:16:29 PM] drinternetphd: yeah it is kind of christmas
[26/12/2014, 1:16:37 PM] drinternetphd: no one wants to write about child porn on Christmas
[26/12/2014, 1:17:46 PM] Dan Olson: if this had been Jan 3rd or something like that then at least Vox/Slate/Jezzebel level outlets would have grabbed it hard right away


According to Dan, "most of the organized reactionary groups" tried to do some "recruiting" of Gamergate supporters, but supposedly "realized that GG is full of morons that resist all organization." He claims the "Aryan Nation" was one of these.
[26/12/2014, 1:33:58 PM] Dan Olson: Most of the organized reactionary groups did some small recruiting then realized that GG is full of morons that resist all organization.
[26/12/2014, 1:34:11 PM] Remy: I honestly thought the Church of Scientology would swoop down and scoop up all those impressionable young minds
[26/12/2014, 1:35:12 PM] Dan Olson: mmm, no, not CoS. Aryan Nation, yes.

Here we see Zoe, Dan, and others from the chat joking about how if there was a "delicious food" loved by pedophiles then they would totally stop eating it "just in case." Nyberg, who was actively in the chat while they said this, would be outed as a pedophile a few days after this conversation. They would all support and try to provide cover for Nyberg after his extensive history of self-confessed pedophilia came to light.
[26/12/2014, 1:38:22 PM] drinternetphd: yo if there was a delicious food and pedos loved it pretty loudly I'd probably stop eating it
[26/12/2014, 1:38:25 PM] drinternetphd: just in case
[26/12/2014, 1:38:27 PM] Chris Kluwe: along with "and burn it to the ground"
[26/12/2014, 1:38:41 PM] Remy: XD
[26/12/2014, 1:38:49 PM] drinternetphd: pretty much any time my venn diagram circle gets near one of pedos I go screeching in the other direction
[26/12/2014, 1:38:50 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: wasn't this the premise of a USB sketch? Or Kids in the Hall or somesuch?
[26/12/2014, 1:38:50 PM] Dan Olson: "Pedos love corn chips!"
"Whelp, sorry corn, we had a good run, you and I."

[26/12/2014, 1:42:38 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: yeah i intentionally tag #gamergate because it's funny when half (or all, sometimes) of the big tagged posts for the day are against GG

Dan was anxiously waiting for an "angry thread" over the ad they bought, and he and the chat group sat there refreshing KIA (and then the threads) for hours this day. One of the chat members angrily told the others to "downvote that fucker who is saying you can't use ads to troll." (At the time of this post that comment was at +102 upvotes lol)
[26/12/2014, 2:16:25 PM] Dan Olson: Does ad have an angry thread yet?
[26/12/2014, 2:16:28 PM] drinternetphd: no
[26/12/2014, 3:33:38 PM] Tesseract: http://www.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAct...ds_against_kotakuinaction_that_link_to_child/ downvote that fucker who is saying you can't use ads to troll
[26/12/2014, 3:33:48 PM] drinternetphd: I really want to go to EVO and compete
[26/12/2014, 3:33:51 PM] drinternetphd: I'm undefeated this year
[26/12/2014, 3:34:27 PM] Dan Olson: "which is a violation of privacy"!!!!!!
[26/12/2014, 3:34:46 PM] drinternetphd: the most humiliating moment in that game jam reality show we walked out on was that the guy who made nidhogg was one of the judges for the embarassing challenges they made us do
[26/12/2014, 3:34:57 PM] Dan Olson: oh, god.
[26/12/2014, 3:35:12 PM] drinternetphd: so i got to meet one of my heros while being forced to fingerpaint with jon tron's idiot ass in the background asking the british member of my team to say words that sounded funny with his accent
[26/12/2014, 3:35:20 PM] Dan Olson: Coming from the production side, that whole exposé filled me with cringe.


Dan said he wanted to "get something off [his] chest" and said he had found a "whole series of books" created like kids' books that were to be used for "grooming and pedo normalization." Dan thinks this was "almost worse" than "hardcore CP" and said it was left out of the Medium blog because it was "impossible" for him to make it "remotely palatable." @Portajohn correct me if I'm wrong but I want to say Nyberg linked to shit like this in the FFShrine logs? In any case, this was "haunting" Dan.
[26/12/2014, 3:54:22 PM] Dan Olson: can... can I get something off my chest, or... I dunno.
[26/12/2014, 3:54:38 PM] drinternetphd: yeah dan go for broke
[26/12/2014, 3:54:45 PM] Peter Coffin: do it dan
[26/12/2014, 3:54:45 PM] Dan Olson: there's this shit that's been haunting me for days, but I don't want to get crazy dark in here
[26/12/2014, 3:55:40 PM] Dan Olson: When I was researching I found a bunch of stuff that I just couldn't put in the article as examples. I tried to make it remotely palatable and it was impossible.
[26/12/2014, 3:55:57 PM] Dan Olson: It wasn't, like, hardcore CP, but in a way it was almost worse
[26/12/2014, 3:56:06 PM] drinternetphd: dan I feel you. I had a similar experience when I was pulling shit together for patreon and my white house contact
[26/12/2014, 3:56:31 PM] Dan Olson: someone had written and illustrated this whole series of books written and styled like kids books, Dick and Jane style
[26/12/2014, 3:56:44 PM] Dan Olson: but the whole thing was grooming and pedo normalization


Dan apparently is "aggressive" when he goes to get Ativan, lest the doctors decide he doesn't need to be on something that strong.
[26/12/2014, 4:05:12 PM] Dan Olson: I'm aggressive with my Ativan. I just tell the doctor at the clinic what I'm there for, no faffing about talking about my anxiety hoping that they'll feel it merits something that strong.

KIA posters began blaming Dan for buying the ad, which he did in fact contribute some amount of money towards.
[26/12/2014, 4:10:23 PM] Dan Olson: I think they're blaming me for the ad, which isn't entirely untrue.
[26/12/2014, 4:10:56 PM] Dan Olson: thinking that I'm doubling down, which also isn't entirely untrue.
[26/12/2014, 4:15:29 PM] Dan Olson: "People need to be reporting this article, IMO. This is distributing blurred and easily exploitable images. Report it." MORE PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE CSI IS A DOCUMENTARY!


So during this whole Gamergate drama there was a court case of Chelsea/Zoe vs. Eron Gjoni (Eron was the guy she cheated on with at least five other guys, he found out, they tried to make things work, Zoe was a compulsive liar, relationship died, he wrote the zoepost as a warning for people to avoid dating her, Zoe got a restraining order on him which she eventually lifted after it was inevitably going to be overturned as unconstitutional - legal superman Eugene Volokh wrote an amicus brief for Gjoni's appeal). Just before Christmas they had a court date and Zoe chimped out in the chat group after the judge had allegedly told her she should "switch careers" and get off the Internet, causing Zoe to chimp because the internet is her "fucking workplace." Dan said he would be "livid" if he was told that and that there needed to be a ruling declaring the internet a "place of work."
[26/12/2014, 4:43:47 PM] Dan Olson: Oh man, when I get my full Complimentary GamerGate Background Check they'll discover that I pled guilty to a 40$ speeding ticket in Montana.
[26/12/2014, 4:43:49 PM] drinternetphd: I'm still so fucking mad that the magistrate told me the harassment didn't count cause it was online
[26/12/2014, 4:44:02 PM] drinternetphd: and if I didn't want to get harassed I should get offline forever and switch careers
[26/12/2014, 4:44:06 PM] Dan Olson: I would be livid at that, Zoe.
[26/12/2014, 4:44:07 PM] Chris Kluwe: that's something the legal system really needs to get into gear and address
[26/12/2014, 4:44:10 PM] drinternetphd: yeah.
[26/12/2014, 4:44:14 PM] Peter Coffin: yeah that makes me mad too. I can’t believe someone said that to you
[26/12/2014, 4:44:16 PM] Chris Kluwe: because the internet isn't going away anytime soon
[26/12/2014, 4:44:19 PM] drinternetphd: nope
[26/12/2014, 4:44:23 PM] drinternetphd: and it's my fucking workplace
[26/12/2014, 4:44:32 PM] drinternetphd: "get a new career" should not be fucking advice
[26/12/2014, 4:45:28 PM] Dan Olson: this actually sort of goes back to my comments about the limits of English
[26/12/2014, 4:45:49 PM] Dan Olson: we don't really have a way of conceptualizing a ficitive shared space with a single word
[26/12/2014, 4:46:21 PM] Remy: lol "My tips for drug dealers" by a white dude who thinks he probably could do that job better than you could
[26/12/2014, 4:46:28 PM] Dan Olson: so a ruling declairing "the internet" as a place of work operates on the definition of "place" as a physical entity.

The chat group laughed at KIA posters believing content would be removed by site admins. Dan said it was "the perfect world view of someone who's never been fucked by the system." He was also worried that more "numbnuts" would be reporting him to the RCMP, he claims they "didn't care at all" when he had called and told them about his "expose on CP."
[26/12/2014, 5:24:15 PM] Peter Coffin: >This needs to go to authorities
Nope, we're better than pedoGhazi on this one: it's Reddit content we report to Reddit, much like 8chan content needs to be allowed to be reported to 8chan.
[26/12/2014, 5:24:20 PM] Peter Coffin: HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
[26/12/2014, 5:24:23 PM] Peter Coffin: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
[26/12/2014, 5:24:56 PM] Dan Olson: "The system works, believe in the system"
[26/12/2014, 5:25:09 PM] Peter Coffin: pedoghazi: reports crime to authorities, kia reports pedo content to… a site that doesn’t give a fuck?
[26/12/2014, 5:25:11 PM] Dan Olson: the perfect world view of someone who's never been fucked by the system
[26/12/2014, 5:25:40 PM] drinternetphd: i am so proud of this twitter thread https://twitter.com/TheQuinnspiracy/status/548408900123258880
[26/12/2014, 5:26:02 PM] Alex Lifschitz: Dan, I've mentioned this before but so much of their willful lack of nuance I think stems from growing up in a bubble where plausibility always erred in their favor
[26/12/2014, 5:26:33 PM] Dan Olson: Yup
[26/12/2014, 5:26:38 PM] Alex Lifschitz: And now we get to take them down because for the first time, the system does not give a fuck about them and this is our turf
[26/12/2014, 5:26:46 PM] Peter Coffin: lol zoe
[26/12/2014, 5:27:06 PM] Dan Olson: "You could give your local police station a phone call. Seems like the easiest approach."
[26/12/2014, 5:27:26 PM] Dan Olson: God, I really should get in touch with the RCMP again now that this is ramping up
[26/12/2014, 5:27:32 PM] Alex Lifschitz: It's why they would whine about SJWs being "entitled" and then fucking lose their shit when people insisted being behind GG might fuck their employment prospects, or that it must be illegal if people block them on twitter.
[26/12/2014, 5:27:41 PM] Alex Lifschitz: Entitlement is really at the core of this whole thing.
[26/12/2014, 5:27:55 PM] Peter Coffin: def
[26/12/2014, 5:27:57 PM] Dan Olson: like, I have to take it on somewhat good faith that at least some of these numbnuts have actually reported me to the RCMP
[26/12/2014, 5:28:24 PM] Alex Lifschitz: Did you get anyone's contact info when last you called?
[26/12/2014, 5:28:36 PM] Peter Coffin: alright guys I need some sleep
[26/12/2014, 5:28:43 PM] Dan Olson: yeah, but they were only interested in potential Swatting
[26/12/2014, 5:28:58 PM] Peter Coffin: take care, you all reign supreme and are awesome
[26/12/2014, 5:29:10 PM] Dan Olson: the fact that I did an expose on CP didn't even register with them
[26/12/2014, 5:29:36 PM] Dan Olson: like, they didn't care at all beyond asking for the site address


[26/12/2014, 5:30:47 PM] Dan Olson: how mny times today have I seen "if it were illegal it wouldn't be allowed on 8chan"
[26/12/2014, 5:30:54 PM] Alex Lifschitz: Dunno. I doubt the RCMP will bust down your door. Especially when everyone is sending them the same fucking page over and over again.
[26/12/2014, 5:31:15 PM] Alex Lifschitz: Likely they saw it, said "this ain't shit" and closed the file.
[26/12/2014, 5:31:23 PM] Dan Olson: "If (name any of the black men who have been executed by cops in the last month alone) hadn't done something wrong they wouldn't have shot him"
[26/12/2014, 5:31:49 PM] Alex Lifschitz: Conflation of legality with morality is a touchstone of the American right.
[26/12/2014, 5:32:17 PM] Alex Lifschitz: "If we legalize marijuana/gay marriage, we'll be encouraging it!"
[26/12/2014, 5:32:39 PM] Remy: In other words "my group is winning. Why change things?"
[26/12/2014, 5:32:39 PM] Alex Lifschitz: And they wonder why Breitbart scooted in to pick at their livers.
[26/12/2014, 5:32:48 PM] drinternetphd: "don't let girls under 20 get the hpv vaccine they'll go out and be promiscuous"
[26/12/2014, 5:33:50 PM] Alex Lifschitz: "Hey so what about all these sexual assaults by these frat bros"
"Oh, boys will be boys."
"Okay. How about these girls looking at an anti-cancer vaccine?"
"WELL MAYBE THEY JUST SHOULDN'T BE SLUTS"
[26/12/2014, 5:35:20 PM] Dan Olson: "how about this gang rape of a girl being spread around on social media?"
"well, under age drinking is bad, but a high school bender is basically a rite of passage (oh and she's a whore and should kill herself)"
[26/12/2014, 5:35:47 PM] Dan Olson: ugh
[26/12/2014, 5:35:49 PM] Dan Olson: blah
[26/12/2014, 5:35:51 PM] Dan Olson: blor
[26/12/2014, 5:36:33 PM] Dan Olson: yeah, I'm going to bed
[26/12/2014, 5:36:46 PM] Dan Olson: maybe read some history of WW2 to cheer me up, at this point
[26/12/2014, 5:36:51 PM] drinternetphd: here
[26/12/2014, 5:36:54 PM] drinternetphd: really quick
[26/12/2014, 5:36:55 PM] drinternetphd: have this
[26/12/2014, 5:36:55 PM] drinternetphd: https://vine.co/v/Ml6ubd6mH6P
[26/12/2014, 5:37:03 PM] Alex Lifschitz: Did you see that video of a dog on a Roomba
[26/12/2014, 5:37:07 PM] Dan Olson: I LOVE THIS PIGGY!
[26/12/2014, 5:37:18 PM] Dan Olson: The holiday edition you sent to Kenny?
[26/12/2014, 5:37:25 PM] Remy: Go to YouTube and type in "Japanese bunny island"
[26/12/2014, 5:37:35 PM] Alex Lifschitz: yep
[26/12/2014, 5:37:51 PM] Dan Olson: change of plans, watching piggy forever
[26/12/2014, 5:38:02 PM] Dan Olson: die happy
[26/12/2014, 5:38:13 PM] Remy: If I'm ever a millionaire I'm taking all of you to bunny island
[26/12/2014, 5:38:45 PM] Dan Olson: SHE'S SO ROUND AND HAPPY!
[26/12/2014, 5:39:12 PM] Dan Olson: thanks
[26/12/2014, 5:39:17 PM] Dan Olson: a'ight, night!

KIA was blaming GamerGhazi for 'pooling money to spread child porn,' Aaron "SF' Simpson scoffed and said "we were doing it on Christmas Day."
[27/12/2014, 5:11:09 AM] Tesseract: "December 26th 2014. The day Gamerghazi pooled money to spread child porn."
[27/12/2014, 5:11:22 AM] Tesseract: it's hilarious how they just blame ghazi for fucking everything
[27/12/2014, 5:11:26 AM] SF: Pfft we were doing it on Christmas Day.
[27/12/2014, 5:11:34 AM] Tesseract: my twitter alone is 3/4 the size of ghazi
[27/12/2014, 5:11:36 AM] Izzy (@iglvzx): Yes. GamerGhazi. Well, most of us post there, but it was done here not there XD
[27/12/2014, 5:11:53 AM] SF: Also of note it's funny they're convinced the Illuminati exists but don't seem to believe we ACTUALLY do when something happens.
[27/12/2014, 5:11:58 AM] Dan Olson: hey, sweet, I tabbed over just in time to see the Dan threads
[27/12/2014, 5:12:35 AM] SF: I see they're calling you Dan "I'll show you on the puppet where I'm about to touch you" Olson


The chat began wondering if their pet pedophile Nyberg was ok, he showed up about not long after. Dan admitted that "some things have gotten under [his] skin" and was "starving them out of information in order to keep the anomaly hunting to a minimum." Dan was also worried about imposter Twitter accounts and made Hello Kitty burner emails (apparently his preferred source for dummy emails) to "secure" Twitter handles.
[27/12/2014, 5:25:13 AM] Dan Olson: They're comparing me to Jian Ghomeshi, as though "whistleblower" is somehow comparable to "literally strangled and beat multiple women"
[27/12/2014, 5:25:40 AM] Dina : JESUS
[27/12/2014, 5:25:47 AM] Dan Olson: "anyone who defends the guy on Twitter can be called as one of Dan's accomplices"
[27/12/2014, 5:26:05 AM] Dina : speaking of which, is Sarah ok?
[27/12/2014, 5:26:14 AM] Dina : they were hitting her pretty hard today
[27/12/2014, 5:26:14 AM] Dan Olson: Just like how all of Charles Manson's prison groupies also went to jail!
[27/12/2014, 5:26:44 AM] Quinnae: hugs Dan
[27/12/2014, 5:26:50 AM] Quinnae: I haven't seen Sarah, no.
[27/12/2014, 5:26:56 AM] Dan Olson: I dunno, I haven't heard from her today
[27/12/2014, 5:27:05 AM] Dina : I hope she's alright
[27/12/2014, 5:43:11 AM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: how bad have things been the last day or so dan?
[27/12/2014, 5:43:53 AM] Dan Olson: mmm, some things have gotten under my skin, but it's just the same few things over and over and over
[27/12/2014, 5:44:09 AM] Dan Olson: I'm starving them out of information in order to keep the anomaly hunting to a minimum
[27/12/2014, 5:44:28 AM] Dan Olson: I'd rather see the same three accusations 200 times than have 200 different accusations
[27/12/2014, 5:44:46 AM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: nod
[27/12/2014, 5:45:02 AM] Izzy (@iglvzx): Katherine, look who seems to be hovering around your timeline. None other than Izel: https://twitter.com/i_z_e_l_s/status/548595185199099906
[27/12/2014, 5:45:08 AM] Dan Olson: and I just know that even if I talk about stuff like, yes, I filed reports, yes, I talked to the police, they're just going to nitpick that for every little detail
[27/12/2014, 5:45:56 AM] Dan Olson: "HE DIDN'T REPORT!" feels like an easy myth to dispell, but it's such a blunt accusation that it's easier to deal with.
[27/12/2014, 5:46:06 AM] Peter Coffin: indeed
[27/12/2014, 5:46:10 AM] Quinnae: I already have them blocked, but thank you for pointing it out.
[27/12/2014, 5:46:56 AM] Izzy (@iglvzx): Katherine, no prob. :)
[27/12/2014, 5:47:02 AM] Dan Olson: if I give them details suddenly I'm dealing with shit that passes for legitimate far more easily, like "criticisms" of when and how I reported, or "didn't report *enough*" or pressing for file numbers and proof.
[27/12/2014, 5:47:45 AM] Dan Olson: I have literally nothing to gain, so I'm not even going to get on that carousel.
[27/12/2014, 5:49:38 AM] Dan Olson: what's an easy way of securing twitter usernames?
[27/12/2014, 5:49:57 AM] Peter Coffin: define securing
[27/12/2014, 5:50:10 AM] Dan Olson: like, squatting on impersonation accounts
[27/12/2014, 5:50:22 AM] Peter Coffin: just register them
[27/12/2014, 5:50:34 AM] Peter Coffin: twitter has no extra capabilities
[27/12/2014, 5:50:39 AM] Izzy (@iglvzx): Yeah. i registered this one: https://twitter.com/igivzx
[27/12/2014, 5:50:41 AM] Peter Coffin: really not a scalable platform
[27/12/2014, 5:51:06 AM] Izzy (@iglvzx): I'm thinking of making it a bot like Randi's that uses my timeline to generate tweets
[27/12/2014, 5:51:13 AM] Izzy (@iglvzx): would be funny if GGers couldn't tell me and the bot apart
[27/12/2014, 5:51:14 AM] Peter Coffin: they never impersonate me, they do impersonate my "fake girlfriend" because it's easier
[27/12/2014, 5:51:18 AM] Randi Harper: it works pretty well
[27/12/2014, 5:51:57 AM] Dan Olson: bah, I need unique emails for each
[27/12/2014, 5:52:25 AM] Izzy (@iglvzx): Ah. Benefit of having my domain name set up for email. just make a new address that fowards to my main
[27/12/2014, 5:53:52 AM] Randi Harper: sunset overdrive 50% off
[27/12/2014, 5:53:57 AM] Randi Harper: xbax
[27/12/2014, 5:54:21 AM] Randi Harper: how can i gift someone a game on xbax?
[27/12/2014, 5:54:33 AM] Peter Coffin: xboax
[27/12/2014, 5:55:42 AM] Izzy (@iglvzx): xboox
[27/12/2014, 5:55:54 AM] Izzy (@iglvzx): xbucks (the x is for shill)
[27/12/2014, 5:58:14 AM] Dan Olson: good old Hello Kitty burner emails
[27/12/2014, 6:00:46 AM] Dan Olson: Alright, two out of three most likely impersonations locked down.

Dan disturbingly typed in baby babble to wish pedophile Nick Nyberg a happy birthday.
[27/12/2014, 6:04:29 AM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: yeah i'm taking off for birthday stuff ~
[27/12/2014, 6:04:36 AM] Izzy (@iglvzx): see you all later <3
[27/12/2014, 6:04:48 AM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: bai!
[27/12/2014, 6:04:51 AM] Dan Olson: HABBABIRDAAAH!
[27/12/2014, 6:04:57 AM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: ty dans <3


Dam went back to his alleged CP boards to try to update his blog post and celebrated because some of them were "nuked." Note that Dan mentions the boards were "unlisted." http://archive.is/hXGRb
[27/12/2014, 1:18:13 PM] Dan Olson: /doll/ is nuked!
[27/12/2014, 1:18:18 PM] Dan Olson: /DOLL/ IS NUKED!
[27/12/2014, 1:18:23 PM] Randi Harper: i always liked the girl next door.
[27/12/2014, 1:18:35 PM] Izzy (@iglvzx): Holy shit, Dan. We shamed 8chan into doing something?
[27/12/2014, 1:19:06 PM] Randi Harper: wow.
[27/12/2014, 1:19:25 PM] Chris Kluwe: add another to the CP stack
http://www.crimeandfederalism.com/2005/01/dont_forget.html
[27/12/2014, 1:19:44 PM] Izzy (@iglvzx): Hopefully it's gone for good and they did not simply migrate to another board to try to "lose the heat"
[27/12/2014, 1:19:57 PM] Quinnae: That's good to hear, Dan.
[27/12/2014, 1:20:08 PM] Dan Olson: oh, they probably did, they were one of the unlisted boards with the worst offenders.
[27/12/2014, 1:27:17 PM] Dan Olson: nonude, preteen, and doll are all nuked
[27/12/2014, 1:47:57 PM] Dan Olson: so /hebe/ says /preteen/ was nuked because "redundancy" but no word on /nonude/ or /doll/
[27/12/2014, 1:48:27 PM] Peter Coffin: hmmm
[27/12/2014, 1:48:35 PM] Dan Olson: actually, moving to business in case all y'all don't want to read about pedo shit.
[27/12/2014, 3:04:48 PM] Dan Olson: HotWheels posted a mod post somewhere saying /doll/ got nuked and permabanned
[27/12/2014, 3:04:59 PM] Izzy (@iglvzx): Ah, I see
[27/12/2014, 3:05:03 PM] Dan Olson: "the mod hadn't logged in for two weeks"

Nyberg returned to the Skype room and Dan was butthurt because 8chan's owner HotWheels had 'singled out' Nyberg. Nyberg copy-pasted a tweet into the chat where someone ha called him a "child hungry predator" who was after "under-age girls" - I don't recall if they had dug up Nyberg's past at this point or not.
[27/12/2014, 4:50:44 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: how goes everyone?
[27/12/2014, 4:51:32 PM] Dan Olson: Not too bad. I'm not sure if my mentions are actually silent, or if I've just blocked all the assholes at this point
[27/12/2014, 5:04:27 PM] Dan Olson: Kay, going ARC. Then hopefully have the resources for Purity so I can dirty bomb some filthy Harmony hippies.
[27/12/2014, 5:05:09 PM] SF: https://twitter.com/Tehd0x I can't tell if this new follower is an edgy child or an edgy manchild.
[27/12/2014, 5:10:03 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: scrumpmonkeyDec 25, 2014+16
Sarah Butts is a child hungry predator. She needs to be removed from society and preventing from stalking and capping people online all day full time. It's creepy as shit.
I mean how does she find time between photographing all those under-age girls though the hole in her lair?
[27/12/2014, 5:10:59 PM] Dan Olson: fsk
[27/12/2014, 5:11:17 PM] Dan Olson: also fuck HotWheels for singling you out
[27/12/2014, 5:11:28 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: wait what did hotwheels do
[27/12/2014, 5:11:28 PM] Charloppe: wait what
[27/12/2014, 5:11:29 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: and when was this
[27/12/2014, 5:11:44 PM] Dan Olson: https://www.reddit.com/r/GamerGhazi/comments/2qidle/8chan_admin_tries_to_spin_daily_dot_and_srhbutts
[27/12/2014, 5:12:07 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: oh, that
[27/12/2014, 5:12:09 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: yeah i saw that
[27/12/2014, 5:12:15 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: was nervous there was something more recent
[27/12/2014, 5:12:25 PM] Charloppe: i hate this man so much
[27/12/2014, 5:12:28 PM] Dan Olson: I don't think it's gonna get much traction, but still
[27/12/2014, 6:22:49 PM] Alex Lifschitz: Also, if I recall correctly, Hotwheels only consolidated boards? Pretty sure they're still there, and still pretty goddamn vile.
[27/12/2014, 6:23:16 PM] Alex Lifschitz: He himself admitted that 8chan is dead without them, I highly doubt he'd move the bodies so much as only the headstones.
[27/12/2014, 6:23:30 PM] Alex Lifschitz: If he did get rid of them, thank god.
[27/12/2014, 6:24:43 PM] Dan Olson: still, they flinched, and the change to the "global rules" is a significant flinch
[27/12/2014, 6:24:46 PM] Dan Olson: "Images that seem to have sexual posing. For instance, this could include a strong focus on the genitals, even if they're covered, or someone who is tied up in any way since it might be mistaken for bondage"
[27/12/2014, 6:25:06 PM] Dan Olson: it's enforcement will be willy-nilly and lame
[27/12/2014, 6:25:15 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: holy shit he updated it? i'm actually shocked
[27/12/2014, 6:25:49 PM] Dan Olson: but they acknowledged it
[27/12/2014, 6:26:13 PM] Dan Olson: because I'm fkn right: they're not in a grey area, they're in an unenforced area.
[27/12/2014, 6:26:20 PM] Alex Lifschitz: Question is, well, if the mods are still asleep.
[27/12/2014, 6:26:29 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: where is that update, dan?
[27/12/2014, 6:26:44 PM] Alex Lifschitz: Are you gonna update the medium article?
[27/12/2014, 6:27:08 PM] Dan Olson: oh, right, I went to do an update, then noticed that boards were nuked, and spent the rest of the evening scoping out the extent of that
[27/12/2014, 6:27:32 PM] Alex Lifschitz: So if people decide to pick it up.
I mean, they're clearly trying to do the same PR spin they always have, but at the end of the day they're still hosting lascivious pictures of kids for dudes to j/o to.
[27/12/2014, 6:27:57 PM] Alex Lifschitz: There's no way Hotwheels is getting rid of that or enforcing anything serious.
[27/12/2014, 6:27:57 PM] Dan Olson: I was going to add a line calling attention to the dates posted vs. dates gathered
[27/12/2014, 6:28:27 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: where is update to the rules you quoted?
[27/12/2014, 6:28:52 PM] Dan Olson: it's in the various "where'd our other jacking boards go?" threads
[27/12/2014, 6:29:22 PM] Dan Olson: several of them reference "global rules" and quote the exact same language, but that language isn't in the FAQ
[27/12/2014, 6:29:23 PM] Alex Lifschitz: It's still amazing you're willing to put yourself into that, Dan. I don't think we can all thank you enough for the work.
[27/12/2014, 6:29:42 PM] Dan Olson: which, in my mind, says the various mods all got a message from HW
[27/12/2014, 6:29:44 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: yeah that's weird because i don't see that in the global rules, at all
[27/12/2014, 6:30:54 PM] Alex Lifschitz: Being able to identify how they've half-assed it will potentially evergreen the story.
[27/12/2014, 6:31:59 PM] Dan Olson: oh, and HW's whole "yeah, I checked out /doll/ and it turned out the mod hadn't been on for, like, two weeks" still doesn't float the fact that the one banner picture of the girl posed doggystyle so you can see her vulva was posted on Nov. 3 and still up Dec. 18th


[27/12/2014, 6:34:17 PM] Alex Lifschitz: If you update the article, it also gives a good reason to push it around a second time as a followup when the holidays are over - but obviously, only as much as you're willing to. I know it's taxing.
[27/12/2014, 6:34:46 PM] Alex Lifschitz: Whatever you decide, we're behind you. It's more important that this shit gets taken down than than the culture war.
[27/12/2014, 6:35:00 PM] Dan Olson: Yeah, I might save up for a big update, rather than just a minor addendum.
[27/12/2014, 6:35:04 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: Amen to that.

Dan said he was thinking about "quietly" leaving TGWTG because he had brought negative attention to the site, he didn't really fit in, and this would be a "good excuse" to leave. He also talked about what he perceived to be leadership failings, such as them not talking to him when he was failing to keep the 3 video a month schedule. He was afraid of TGWTG turning into a "victory totem" for Gamergate if they canned him for involving himself with CP.
[27/12/2014, 6:35:13 PM] Dan Olson: also I'm waiting to see where the TGWTG stuff falls.
[27/12/2014, 6:35:55 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: But really, I think that's more a case for very specifically reporting all this crap to the people whose job it is to scar themselves looking at it.
[27/12/2014, 6:36:02 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: and, what TGWTG stuff?
[27/12/2014, 6:36:25 PM] Dan Olson: I'm probably just going to quietly leave the site, since they're pretty allergic to attention, and I'm a bad fit all around for their schedule.
[27/12/2014, 6:37:17 PM] Dan Olson: The TGWTG bosses are not very happy to have gotten a pile of "Dan's a pedo rapist CP peddler" harassment emails.
[27/12/2014, 6:37:28 PM] Dan Olson: Which, you know, I don't blame them
[27/12/2014, 6:37:41 PM] Alex Lifschitz: Rough. Any other places you might move to?
[27/12/2014, 6:38:09 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: that sucks, dan :(
[27/12/2014, 6:38:13 PM] Alex Lifschitz: I'm more angry that TGWTG, like a lot of other places, seemingly can't dredge up the stones to stand with someone against a very clearly toxic mob of concern trolls.
[27/12/2014, 6:38:16 PM] Dan Olson: Honestly just stick with Chez and try and push some freelance writing.
[27/12/2014, 6:38:46 PM] Alex Lifschitz: Reminds me of Ubi and such. Just makes me angry.
[27/12/2014, 6:38:51 PM] Dan Olson: TGWTG was always something of a lark for me. I'm not the best fit for them, both audience wise, schedule wise, and content wise
[27/12/2014, 6:39:05 PM] Alex Lifschitz: Good excuse to leave, then?
[27/12/2014, 6:39:06 PM] Dan Olson: but, hey, I applied and they said yes, so why not
[27/12/2014, 6:39:31 PM] Dan Olson: yeah, and I'm not exactly raking it in, viewership wise, over there
[27/12/2014, 6:39:57 PM] Alex Lifschitz: Y'know, I had never even heard of TGWTG before GG.
[27/12/2014, 6:40:00 PM] Dan Olson: and the new site pretty much tells you where they want to go, brand wise.
[27/12/2014, 6:41:23 PM] Dan Olson: My concern, and I suspect I'll have no trouble selling this to the bosses, is convincing them to just quietly take the heat for a while, and just never really point out that I left.
[27/12/2014, 6:41:52 PM] Alex Lifschitz: Good idea. Same conclusion I came to when GG began hounding my old studio.
[27/12/2014, 6:42:00 PM] Dan Olson: because, and this is my pitch, if they think being spammed with hatemail by GG is bad, being turned into one of their victory totems is worse.
[27/12/2014, 6:42:19 PM] Alex Lifschitz: Quietly leave, and if asked, say that you came to a mutual decision to leave in order to spare them these idiots.
[27/12/2014, 6:42:29 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: i had only heard of TGWTG because of charlotte, tbh!
[27/12/2014, 6:42:53 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: that's still depressing they wouldn't have your back. i dunno
[27/12/2014, 6:44:56 PM] Dan Olson: I think they just really have no interest in being remotely controversial.
[27/12/2014, 6:45:37 PM] Dan Olson: which, from a brand perspective, I can gel with. Nickelodeon isn't going to be tackling Gaza, you know
[27/12/2014, 6:46:48 PM] Dan Olson: If they try to throw me under the bus, though
[27/12/2014, 6:46:51 PM] Dan Olson: god help them
[27/12/2014, 6:49:47 PM] Dan Olson: but, yeah, no, I'm not terribly choked one way or another. I haven't been able to keep to a 3/mo schedule anyway, so I'm kinda surprised they haven't poked me about that yet
[27/12/2014, 6:50:03 PM] Dan Olson: though I doubt they've even noticed, due to the terrible backend
[27/12/2014, 6:50:19 PM] Dan Olson: they need to run the site like a magazine or a station, but they don't
[27/12/2014, 6:51:19 PM] Dan Olson: like, have your content creators finish their stuff by Deadline X, then it goes to managing editor who clears it and schedules it in for Day Y
[27/12/2014, 6:51:36 PM] drinternetphd: how else would you run such a thing
[27/12/2014, 6:52:03 PM] Dan Olson: so that creators only have to worry about making their shit, and not trying to deal with jockying for schedule slots on top of that
[27/12/2014, 6:52:04 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: anarchy?
[27/12/2014, 6:52:36 PM] Dan Olson: anarchy, basically
[27/12/2014, 6:52:56 PM] drinternetphd: yikes
[27/12/2014, 6:52:57 PM] Dan Olson: Chez just sort of goes all loosy-goosy, but there's, what, seven of us?
[27/12/2014, 6:53:23 PM] Dan Olson: worst case scenario things line up so that three people put up something new on one day.
[27/12/2014, 6:54:20 PM] Dan Olson: TGWTG has I think 50 contributors at this point, with all different production schedules
[27/12/2014, 6:54:46 PM] Dan Olson: but it's still being run like a communal blog
[27/12/2014, 6:56:59 PM] Dan Olson: and then it's one of those situations where you want to pipe up and be all "hey, why not just rip off what TV's been doing for 70 years?" but you're low man on the totem pole and don't want to be "that shithead"
[27/12/2014, 6:57:43 PM] Dan Olson: 'cus everyone hates That Shithead, who's new to an operation and starts suggesting changes that are basically "do it completely differently"
[27/12/2014, 7:01:28 PM] Dan Olson: In my ideal world I'd have the resources to bring a bunch of web content creators in under an umbrella as proper employees and not just "independent contractors"
[27/12/2014, 7:03:00 PM] Dan Olson: distributed profits, allowing for new stuff to get subsidized instead of this vague "well, we're just sort of a promotional collective, but everyone still needs to worry about their own revenue streams"
[27/12/2014, 7:04:15 PM] Dan Olson: I think Patreon-style direct funding is a good idea, but I spend a lot of time wondering about the weight that it can bear.
[27/12/2014, 7:09:14 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: i dunno. there are some youtube education channels pulling in decent money from that kind of stuff
[27/12/2014, 7:09:18 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: enough to hire employees
[27/12/2014, 7:09:48 PM] Dan Olson: oh, it's totally possible
[27/12/2014, 7:10:41 PM] Dan Olson: I just wish I had the resources to set one up, like, now. Or maybe tomorrow. It's kinda late, to the point that I sound like a stoned teenager trying to convince everyone that The Fountainhead is, like, way deep, man.
[27/12/2014, 7:10:51 PM] Dan Olson: So now would be a bad time.
[27/12/2014, 7:11:36 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: i just looked at a few. crash course pulls in 25,000$/mo
[27/12/2014, 7:13:39 PM] Dan Olson: i guess to clarify, I'm trying to figure out if 30 people having 30 Patreons would net more productive liquidity versus 1 Patreon for 30 people.
[27/12/2014, 7:14:36 PM] Dan Olson: would someone who's willing to drop 5$ on 3 people be willing to drop 15$ on 1-group-of-3?
[27/12/2014, 7:16:31 PM] Sarah, Butt-er of the Butts: that's true
[27/12/2014, 7:16:38 PM] Dan Olson: With a collective, like TGWTG, you're also looking somewhat at a self-contained community, and at what point do you hit burnout, where late-adopters get properfucked by community burnout, because they're already spending 5$/mo on half a dozen people?
[27/12/2014, 7:21:09 PM] Dan Olson: The problem I'm foreseeing is one of churn, where the market can never mature because the gap between "poverty/hobby" and "livable income" is too hard for people to consistently jump. Rather than a smooth gradient of quality and return you just have all the online cash being condensed into the singularity known as Pewdiepie and his two orbiting bodies John and Hank Green.
[27/12/2014, 7:21:53 PM] Dan Olson: and then hobbyists who, right as they're getting good at their craft, drop out because it's just not worth the effort that it takes to make something high quality
[27/12/2014, 7:37:24 PM] drinternetphd: hm
[27/12/2014, 7:37:30 PM] drinternetphd: I wonder if there's a service we could make
[27/12/2014, 7:39:05 PM] Secret Gamer Girl: "We" being...?
[27/12/2014, 7:42:26 PM] drinternetphd: idk eventually like
[27/12/2014, 7:42:33 PM] drinternetphd: just whoever is indie and makes shit and needs a patreon alternative
[27/12/2014, 7:42:39 PM] drinternetphd: I am mainly thinking if patreon shits the bed

:story:

[28/12/2014, 9:21:58 AM] Dan Olson: goddamn, literally 10% of the last decade of my life has been spent logged in to WoW.

Dan began discussing someone named Aurini, and has some personal history with the guy as they "both competed for that same STORYHIVE grant." Aurini made a film, Dan says "that piece of shit cost 10,000$" and was filmed in 10 weeks. He also claims the rules of the competition were changed in response to Aurini's film "Purely because "Lust in a Time of Heartache" is so bad, and because Aurini is so gross."
Pretty sure that's Davis Aurini.. Correct? I think @Jaimas can confirm.
