I love video games dearly. ”

It's not like I'm advocating that we ban 'Call of Duty' or anything silly like that, I'm asking is for companies to look at their hiring practices, to hire more women... and make sure they portray women in their games in a socially responsible way. ”

I love people that kind of have those life experiences that take them different places. ”

Unfortunately, I have the equivalent of 7 PhDs in harassment on Twitter. As one of the primary targets of Gamergate, I've had hundreds and hundreds of threats to my life on Twitter's platform. ”

It's sad when 'Grand Theft Auto' has more consequences for criminal behavior than real life. ”

In stopping Gamergate, the men who dominate it - not just women - must address the culture that created Gamergate. ”

With my company, Giant Spacekat, I was very angry about the lack of games that portrayed women positively in the video game industry, so I launched my own studio, gave a lot of very talented women jobs, and we made some of the most awesome, empowering games in the business. ”

When I was a teenager, the most valuable American companies were in finance and manufacturing. ”

For a hate group originally focused on video games, anger over a comedy movie for starring women might seem ridiculous. But at its core, Gamergate is about a toxic male sense of ownership over geek culture. ”

Any reasonable person can look at video games and see that we don't represent women well. ”
