SJW apologists and sympathizers: Nobody is invading video games
SJWs: On the Cultural Inaccessibility of Gaming: Invading, Creating, and Reclaiming the Cultural Clubhouse
BTW that's a 355 page PhD dissertation.
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.
When you don't have anything substantial to write about so you just describe your drive home.
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.
I sorta did the same thing in high school. I have entire "sourced" paragraphs that I made up and nobody noticed.
Fucking hell. She is giving a motivational "speech" to her clique at the end.
"Pay them. Cite them. Promote them. Furthermore, do not become complacent with the gender
politics of a space just because you yourself are a feministâthere is always work that can be
done to make your space more culturally accessible. Interrogate the structures in place behind
them to reveal the underlying hegemony of men. The worst thing we can do is receive diversity
training, or safe space training, call ourselves feminists, and then determine that the work is
complete."
Sucking up to whoever is in charge gets you a PhD. Honest people need not apply.

Hope this is formatted right
That's where it should have been rejected
Another ð point
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"
