Recently the terrorist organization #GamerGate met up in Washington D.C. While we expected scenes of destruction, harassment and looting that would make the Baltimore Riots look like a tribute band for Quiet Riot. Instead surprisingly they seemed well behaved and didn’t rape or murder anyone. However the night was not without its drama. Just after midnight the establishment was evacuated with the reason being a bomb threat was called in. The establishment where the meet up was taking place received a bomb threat. Now earlier Arthur Chu had been busy doing all in his power to stop this meet up from occurring. I assume he was worried that if the meet up where to occur the city would be in flames, its citizens permanently scarred and in 9 months time thousands of GamerGate babies would be born. Some of Arthur’s tweets can be seen here and here but the most cryptic was this one:
Now to find out what it was all about I went direct to the source and asked Arthur Chu. Arthur didn’t want to be interviewed over e-mail, which is understandable as he must have been burnt out from all the ones he had been sending, so he requested we come see him. A courier went to this house and picked up what seemed to be a tear stained diary page about the events of that day. The courier also charged me triple for the sights and smells he experienced that day but I’m not sure what that’s about. So here is an excerpt from the diary of Arthur Chu.
My life is horrible. #GamerGate has ruined it. My friends (well I call them my friends even though they don’t call me at all. C’mon guys return my calls please) and I have been dragged through the mud and the media don’t care (except for the dozens of anti-GamerGate articles and tv spots). #GamerGate regularly humiliate me and belittle my words. When I write something most people would find stupid they find it and laugh. I never got this harassment before. Of course no one used to read what I wrote before, but that’s just a co-incidence! #GamerGate has hurt me so much so I must have my revenge.
I’ve already been in so much pain because the love of my life Zoe Quinn has spurned me. She had a meet up in DC but I wasn’t invited to that. I thought even though she has a steady boyfriend she’d still be willing to see me. She seems like the kind of girl who’d be ok with that. My name is not important. My whole life is just cold, bitter hatred. This is the time of vengeance and no gater is worth saving. I will end it all tonight. My crusade begins here.
I’ve fired off my e-mails, my tweets and I’ve made my phone calls. Now the final part of my plan where I go to the bar and end everything. I’m all ready for my night of vengeance. I have my mix tape ready. ‘We’ve Got Tonight’ by Sheena Easton and Kenny Rogers, ‘Tonight’s the Night’ by Rod Stewart, ‘In the End’ by Linkin Park, ‘Tonight’ by Bryan Adams, ‘End of the Road’ by Boyz II Men and the ‘Banana Boat Song’.
Now according to this map I have to walk 200 metres to the detonation point. Wow that’s really far. I don’t think I can do that distance. Actually first I’d have to leave the house. I don’t really like doing that. It means I’d have to put some pants, not sure if I want do that. I’d probably have to shower as well and I haven’t had one of those since I was on Jeopardy. Before that I’d have to get out from this chair and I’m not sure I want to do that. I can’t really do anything unless I’m behind a keyboard. I’d honestly end it all tonight but I can’t really want to do all that physical activity…
You got lucky this day #GamerGate! I’d end you all but fortunately for you I have a long evening planned of watching Game Loading. Good thing it’s not on a VCR cause I would have worn the tape out at ‘that part’ by now.
