CALL TO ACTION: TWITTER #CES2015 HIJACKING

All right you maggots, here's a thread from your friendly neighborhood 8chinn:

https://8chan.co/gamergate/res/193590.html

if anyone has twitter, now is the time to start posting infographics. Hijack this hashtag and use it as a chance to spread information about the IGDA and the blacklisting specifically. Also, now is a good time to hit UBM/Gamasutra/IGF. Here's an archive of infographics:

EDIT:

9-10 hours later, someone took down this thread (for a while) and took down 2.ch over this garbage. Also, CES2015 doesn't show up in the top trending anymore, but that doesn't mean you should stop tweeting. @intel and @FemFreq are basically married to each other in the feed which is kektacular. Here are some extra ideas for people looking for more content:

If you see an auto tweet from a media source early in the feed, tweet at them. Saturate every media outlet with information without giving them clicks to their website.

Try engaging with randos using the tag. Inform them of the industry blacklist. Be polite, and use #intelsupports and various other tags, not #gamergate and so forth. While the 'no sexism against men' thing is funny, it's not going to work on neutrals very well. School shooting, japan, PUA, and the endorsements of internet piracy will work better, especially for start up companies. Be sure to tip off @RIAA and @MPAA as well as any other anti-piracy organization, mainly because it's funny

Cross-posting to sopa/pipa reddits would be hilarious as well. Remind the world that @intel is against net-neutrality

Shill out for alternative media. If you see groups like techraptor make a tweet, give it a retweet with the #CES2015 tag. We're literally fighting the world's spambots and clickbait journalism and still raking in ~%10 of the tag. How magical is that? Someone else suggested promoting YouTube user KiteTales in another thread as an alternative to FemFreq. This is a good idea

small list of alt media:

I've probably forgotten happenings. PM me or something and I'll try to include it in the OP

It's important to remember that we're trying to inform people of why they shouldn't partner themselves with femfreq, and not trying to advertise GamerGate. If you go in there spouting all this shit about GG you're going to harm us rather than help. Post things that show you don't want to be associated with femfreq, and keep GG out of it.

This is a good point. Only use #CES2015 along with the images/infographs.

We're promoting Intel's 300 million dollar investment with the IGDA and Feminist Frequency, not #gamergate.

Reminder, Anita used to run deep with the PUA scene. I'm sure intel would LOOOOOOVE everybody to know about that tasty tidbit :^ )

Wait what? When was this?

Lurkenz•

On her own early site, Neonandchrome.com, [8][11] Anita lists a “Curriculum Vitae” of her experience in event planning, consisting of being a Seminar Manager/Coordinator for events tied to Mr. Baggetts’ handwriting analysis in 13 out of the 15 entries. The handwriting analysis that Bart Baggett sold with Anita Sarkeesian’s help carried at times the claim that teaching people to pay attention to the way they wrote could improve their love lives, and Mr. Baggett was even listed as an author on a Pick-up Artist directory.

8chan to Reddit translation:

Original thread: https://8chan.co/gamergate/res/193590.html

Twitter has the #CES2015 hashtag trending. Given Intel's recent decision to support FemFreq for "Diversity" and for their sponsorship of the IGDA, we shouldn't sit by and do nothing.

This gives us a short window of attack, but one that could potentially reach a lot of faces, faces that are interested in tech. The reach once we start posting in it should be, ideally, far within the tag, and if the hashtag is hijacked, then so be it. It won't be easy and everyone must be willing to participate in retweet and favorite whoring; lurkers might as well go home. Use infographs for bonus points, and we enter overtime if a top spot in the images is claimed. Also, now is a good time to hit UBM/Gamasutra/IGF.

Second, do not forget to circlejerk other tweets highlighting IGDA's blacklist or FemFreq's bigotry to make them rise in the trends. Do not assume that others are going to retweet and favorite in place of you, GamerGate's typical retweet and favorite stats can only snag spots on the top tweets whenever anons are willing to focus. We're dealing with tweets that can get hundreds of retweets easily because of the size of the accounts' followers. (Do not verify any progress with a browser that has cookies relating to any of the involved parties in it, this can produce false reports of hijacking.)

Here's an archive of infographics: http://imgur.com/a/iNp2P

Lastly, do not forget to mention the industry blacklists that have been going on with the likes of the IGDA. This is important, incriminating information. The IGDA blocklist matters more than Sam Biddle talking about bullying, even if it seems to "burn" Intel, remember to keep things related. FemFreq (and her puppet master, who might need explanation as "the mind behind FemFreq") and IGDA are the main things to post about.

GET TO IT!

Album with some images you can use to tweet #CES2015 with.

Another 8chan thread besides the on one in the op where you can find more images

https://8chan.co/gamergate/res/194192.html

Right click and save as any image you want.

You should add the one with josh approving of copyright violations when he disapproves of the source (in reference to stealing content for his videos iirc)

Happen to have a link that particular one??

slow clap for 8chan

more stats

Basically, 10000/~170K (6% I think) tweets in a day have both hashtag in them. Hefty number, but we gotta boost the best to really be heard. Also, keep in mind that this is just both. The may be people not using the hashtag or name and spreading the word

butcho•

Also, id suggest not to forget the blocklist support from IGDA.

Tweet at them (@IGDA and include @Intel) and ask to be added on the block list by solidarity.

Edit: someone should create a solidarity hashtag.

This quote from Anita is particularly odious.

Every now and then I think to myself, "I should really sign up for this Twitter thing." The thought of tweeting that out to #Intel #CES2015 is one of those moments.

ThisIsFrigglish•

That collection could probably use a single image about the IDGA's promotion of the blockbot. Hard to argue Josh's puppet has kept her hands clean, and Intel is run from levels of social power that can ignore us entirely.

But openly partnering with discredited organizations who've given open support to code that, had it been functional, would have been questionably legal, that's something to sit on and point the floodlights at.

Here's an infograph about the IGDA's promotion of the blockbot

Everytime I read a tweet from that Randi Harper person my view of her goes down. So hostile. The KFC thing was funny.

I agree and i twitted at IGDA demanding to be added to the list in solidarity to everyone who should not be on the list in the first place.

CodegateOP•

I just made a twitter account literally minutes into this thing

I've watched my feed change from almost no hijacking to chock full. I'm paranoid, thinking twitter is just telling me what I want to hear instead of actually reflecting the situation.

Some people are focusing on fremfreq. This is probably less important. Focus on the IGDA and UBM. Shareholders might want to know about things like pending FTC investigations. Oops. Did I say that? Don't spread disinformation, but don't be afraid to go on the offensive. Quit circle jerking over what anti-gamers have to say and get this info out to the normies. Make people mad with the truth.

10
Lurkenz•

There are bots promoting the hashtag, it's standard fare.

that_one•

Imgur links to some of the images posted in the 8chan thread:

Use @intel, #intel and #CES2015 in your tweets.

EDIT: Fuck it, I made an album instead. Updating it as more tweets are added to the 8chan thread.

http://imgur.com/a/Bm7AR

Remember, do not use the #GamerGate hashtag. People will either ignore our tweets or use them as ammunition against us if we do.

EDIT 2: Don't forget to tweet about the IGDA supported illegal blacklist as well. It's just as important if not more important than the FemFreq and Josh McIntosh tweets. Here's the FTC page on Group Boycotts to post alongside the blacklist infographic.

You need the Laden comment there too, to contrast with her views on Hitchens.

If I was Intel Id be pissed that The Verge put words in my mouth. Intel never spoke against GG yet The Verge claim they did.

Oh and for those who need a copy here's her insulting Christopher Hitchen's less than a day after his death

http://imgur.com/FDgovF4

Use it well.

Remember you can also tweet to @IntelJapan too I'm sure the Japanese division will be less than impressed with the US division choosing to side with a company who claimed they're all backwards. Let them know what the US arm supports.

Flooding is good, but we have a lot of competition from people using the hashtag normally

We need to pick a tweet and RT the shit out of it so it'll take the spot (need over 700 to beat the current top tweet)

There's a tweet by milo and one by wtfmagazine that have a good number of rt's but they don't offer much information.

Also getting a top article would be good but I still don't know how something qualifies for that

7
[deleted]•

I think that's a paid thing, but the other advice is good. Don't RT everything, pick 10 "winners" and RT those every hour or half hour. Make standouts, instead of a ton of decent but tepid ones.

That being said, tweet like the wind, but your RTs and favs should be concentrated in the ones most likely to move.

Or something - this was all rather abrupt, lol, so I'm trying to wrap my head around it.

EDIT: And now they're DDoSing 8chan... it's on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppotuhZjIkA

Finally, some activism.

EDIT:(off topic) Someone should paste a picture of Sarkeesian holding a controller next to this.

also check https://twitter.com/hashtag/CES2015?src=hash scroll down and retweet any rising pro-gg tweets (put this part in the OP if you can)

Edit: Ok just saw what was going on.

Intel just suicided ?

yeh this is kind of part of the issue now

I have no idea what this "#CES2015" is

raze2012Noticed by senpai!•

Consumer electronics show. People all over the tech industry show off futuristic esque technology in the pipeline (or products planned for release later in the year)

Naturally Intel is there. At the very least, there can at least be the spreading of the news of the new partnership to the people unaware of FF and IGDA. At best, this will convince Intel to disassociate from the brands and pick up new ones that actually reflect diversity, and the tech enthusiasts band together with the gamers to bring ethics into games journalism (... Okay I'm being a BIT dramatic about the last part).

The IGDA should be the focus, not Ms. Thomeesian. They created a fucking blacklist libeling people by association.

What we need to be asking is why the fuck is Intel, in a program designed to improve their hiring practices, partnering with an organization not only incompetent, but put created a fucking political blacklist and said "oh it's not a blacklist" with a wink and a nod, while the founder openly encouraged its use to screen employees?

Think about that.
