This would be really, really funny if it wasn't so frightening. What if the weather was good and he made it. I assume Wu is one of those people who's address was posted, or is it unlikely he knew where she lived?

 

[Hot Coldman]

Sad but true.

At this rate, GuiltGizzle is going to kill someone.

well they got someone's dog shot by a SWAT team

and (don't ask me for the receipts on this one) but I swear I've seen things about them harassing certain people on Twitter to the point of, if not actual suicide

 

[Hedge]

Is this even game related? Isn't the story just "mentally unstable person crashes on his way to attack x person"?

I mean I know it says gamergate in the article, but this seems not really about that.
That man is not well.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Damn cagers!

 

[The Technomancer]

Just another one of those un-credible threats I guess

 

[Kouriozan]

Wow, unbelievable, things have gone too far.

 

[sineclamor]

....oh, I get it. The world's ending. That's cool, I always wanted to be naked in a gas station.

 

[MrCunningham]

And this is why gamergate will never be taken seriously as a movement.

Everything about this comment is pretty funny... a street race for gamergate and accusations of sabotaging a Prius? Is this satire?

Oh man that video.... comedy gold! The Bon Jovi song really accentuates the whole thing.

But drag racing on ice roads? What do you think would happen?

 

[Sibylus]

Street racing gaw-awd!!

He was saying he was on his way to Brianna Wu's and that she sabotaged his vehicle.

 

[Calabi]

I feel like I've fallen into the twilight zone. This cant be real, or even fake real.

 

[kingkitty]

LOL

this video is pure gold

 

[Zornack]

Meds won't fix stupid.

If that's your opinion on mental health then you're part of the problem.

Well in his own words

I am a US Retired Veteran who is also a vlogger and very interested in GamerGate and trying to root for justice

So...yeah?

 

[CambriaRising]

Like..I don't even know what to say about these people at this point.

 

[Samurai_Heart]

That video...why am I reminded of an Adam Sandler "comedy"...

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

She's been doxxed multiple times and some of the prominent Gaters have links to the info in their Twitter accounts despite numerous reports

 

[down 2 orth]

The plot thickens...

I mean, that and the fact that he says that Brianna Wu sabotaged his mum's car in retaliation for him being a GamerGate vigilante.

 

[BlastProcessing]

I refuse to believe that video is real. My brain will not accept it.

Who street races a Prius in the snow? I just... I can't.

 

[LOLCats]

Gotta admit, crazy is fun to watch.

 

[BocoDragon]

The Internet has connected some fucked up dots.

 

[antitrop]

I'm a vet receiving VA treatment for many war-related issues. This is beyond the VA. What are they gonna do, give him some sleeping pills and antidepressants? That won't fix him.

He's liable to kill someone.

 

[Sölf]

This shit right here, this is comedy gold.

Sorry, I don't know what to say. It's just so unreal, I can't take it serious. I mean, srsly, what the fuck?

 

[Mpl90]

What problems CAN'T street racing solve?

I agree.

I mean, who doesn't remember how racial problems have been solved with a Speed Race started by Martin Luther King?
Don't anyone hear about how many people now eats thanks to Speed Racing to bring them food against Mole Nazists?
I mean, come on guys, these are classic events in our history. They're part of us, dah!

 

[The Technomancer]

This shit right here, this is comedy gold.

Sorry, I don't know what to say. It's just so unreal, I can't take it serious. I mean, srsly, what the fuck?

The fact that he had, in all likelihood, her actual address makes it hard for me to see it as too funny.

 

[Art Teitlebaum]

This guy's completely bonkers. Divine intervention?

 

[Axass]

I stayed the fuck away from the whole gamergate / antigamergate drama, I don't even know who Brianna Wu is (and I don't want to know), but let me say that this has probably more to do with the guy being a psycho than anything else.

That video is scary. He needs serious treatment.

No clue why he can own a fucking gun.

 

[Backfoggen]

This has to be an overzealous troller lol

 

[PKrockin]

Daily reminder that Brianna Wu is not even a game journalist. She's a developer. Somehow she and two other female non-journalists make up GG's top 3 mortal enemies in this crusade for "ethics in game journalism".

 

[Clefargle]

I can't process this shit, what the actual fuck

 

[Phamit]

This would be really, really funny if it wasn't so frightening. What if the weather was good and he made it. I assume Wu is one of those people who's address was posted, or is it unlikely he knew where she lived?

I saw posts of Gamer Gators proudly standing before Houses and workplaces of Women in the industry. This shit is really scarry

So it's not unlikely that he knew where she lived,

Everything GamerGate is gaming related regardless of if people want to keep it at arms length or pretend it doesn't exist. This reflects on our culture and the ability for people to criticize games as art. All gaming communities need to shit all over GG at every corner, this isn't acceptable behavior and is setting us back years in mainstream acceptance and overcoming angry basement nerd stereotypes, or even that violent games don't make people violent.

And that is on top of the straight up mental and physical harassment GG is spreading.

 

[Zornack]

I'm a vet receiving VA treatment for many war-related issues. This is beyond the VA. What are they gonna do, give him some sleeping pills and antidepressants? That won't fix him.

This man appears mentally unstable and requires treatment before he hurts someone or himself. Disregarding his mental issues as the ravings of a stupid person who is untreatable only reinforces the stigma mental health treatment has in America.

 

[Jucksalbe]

So how long until there's a terrorist faction of GamerGate?

The only reason why this psycho knows where Brianna Wu lives is because GlycerineGarter loves to post her address.

So thanks GlycerineGarter for pointing nutjobs like this towards Brianna Wu because she had the gall to write about and develop video games.

 

[Hot Coldman]

I mean, if anyone wants to drift to Polygon HQ we can solve this all right now

my Clio is ready to go

 

[Booker Dewitt]

Dude sounded like a racist Bubbles from Trailer Park Boys before his voice went high-pitch.

The amount of mental contortions he had to do to be able to view himself as a victim, wow.

 

[DrForester]

So how long until there's a terrorist faction of GamerGate?

Well, we have one guy now. How many people make up a faction?

 

[Princess Viola]

b-b-but gerbergaters said it was just about ethics in game journalism, not being batshit insane

 

[MrCunningham]

So how long until there's a terrorist faction of GamerGate?

Followed by an anti-terrorist gamergate group to counter the gamergate terrorists.

 

[Kaisos]

It should be pointed out that he is 23 years old and not, in fact, a US army veteran. He's just insane.

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

So how long until there's a terrorist faction of GamerGate?

That happened 6 months ago

 

[Sölf]

The fact that he had, in all likelihood, her actual address makes it hard for me to see it as too funny.

I know, he even was armed. But this whole scenario is just so strange and unreal and his video doesn't help in the slightest to take it seriously.

God, why do such people exist.

 

[Giever]

What a strange and stupid individual this person seems to be from the information I'm reading here

 

[JaseC]

Anybody who spells "Jase" with a C is bound to be weird.

 

[Not]

What the fuck

Lock him up

 

[Toxi]

This has to be an overzealous troller lol

HE FLIPPED AND TOTALED A CAR

 

[ginger ninja]

welp, time to call in the airstrike.

 

[Finale Fireworker]

So is he or is he not about to be placed under arrest? Because literally everything that's compiling in this thread is evidence.
