I don't know if I want to read the entire thing. She interviewed a lot of people and it took her a lot of work, but it doesn't look like she found anything that wasn't already known.
She cites a lot of MSM, but a lot of other papers and books.
I think if I wanted to make a proper critique, it would take several months going through each source and it's sources.
Tbh honest I get why garbage gets published. If you make it look like you have sources for everything, no one is going to bother reading the sources.
When you don't have anything substantial to write about so you just describe your drive home.
It reads like a fucking blog post.
"The night Trump won the election I was driving home from giving two guest lectures about
online abuse, Gamergate, and the Alt-right in Waterloo. That night Iâd warned students not to
joke about or underestimate the very real threat Trump posed, but they really didnât seem to take
me seriously. It took me four hours to get home because roads were closed, traffic was bad, and
there were lots of accidents."
"There is a thing that has always bothered me about horror movies"
Of course it mentions GamerGate. 187 times to be exact.
Obviously it lies about it and dismisses the FBI investigation in favor of anecdotes.
Misrepresenting an entire movement should get you mocked by the academia, not get you a PhD.
I'm the joke, but you're the punchline.
I run this website. I like posting funnies and fugging lolis.
