There's this Emma Watson thing. There's a site, saying they're going to release private nude images. It's attributed to 4chan. then it's attributed to a marketing firm. And then there are no pictures, it was a stunt. Then even the marketing firm is someone's sick, for-profit joke.
GamerGate began as a series of internet detectives swarming around they alleged personal life of someone who they'd never heard of. I've heard it started on 4chan. I've heard it's a joke by 4chan. I have no idea. You have no idea. But the OP says: I believe that, even if you don't think it's not someone's disgusting prank, there's no reason to associate with it, much less defend it.
I mentioned something about politeness in response to another comment. The same applies here. People who leap to do exactly what the OP has said he's not interested in is being disrespectful, has an agenda or didn't read the bloody post.
You can turn away door to door salesmen, you can take flyers off your car and you can absolutely not listen to people from the internet who won't listen to you. It's a free country. Or internet. Whatever.
