weev

His personal blog is worth a read for some context: http://weev.livejournal.com He has some posts which suggest the FBI was bugging his apartment and covertly following him around town. This was months prior to the release of the iPad accounts. So, yes, I suspect he is dealing with some mental issues.

Good points. I also wanted to flag it but left it alone. I decided to look at the background of the writer and now understand. He just likes stirring the pot after I visited his site- http://weev.livejournal.com/ He describes himself as this > Andrew Auernheimer weev, notorious cultural diversity activist. Causes of action: #WhiteGenocide #FreeChuck #cuckservative. 'A menace on the Internet'--US Attorney Zach Intrater.

Weev's own words are probably the best way to expose him: http://weev.livejournal.com/409913.html The fact that he goes to such lengths to sound reasonable and yet fails adds a very dark cast to the whole affair and appropriating the "politically correct" language of what he considers the enemy is a big part of Gamergate too. He struggles to keep it up for long periods of time though, e.g. his reponse to a comment question, "do you support gamergate?": "As much I can support a bunch of beta faggots crying about vidya. I agree that feminist nutjobs are ruining the tech industry, of which I suppose the video game development industry is a subset. I'll agree that #GamerGate probably has moral superiority to a bunch of useless whores whining about shit that they profess to dislike yet still want to dominate and destroy anyways. However, probably all of the /v/ and /gg/ faggots need to be more admirable and brutal in their tactics. This reasoned and polite dialogue that they are attempting with these degenerates and their histrionic shills is obviously not going to work. They need to start putting jackboots on the ground."

People who know weev know he is a troll. A lot of what he says isn't meant to be taken seriously. A lot of what he says and does is meant more to make people stop and think than to be taken at face value. Edit: Read this link if you want to get an idea what I mean: https://weev.livejournal.com/405683.html?nojs=1

Not to mention that Weev is on record as opposing said agenda. http://weev.livejournal.com/384838.html

Oh, weev... http://weev.livejournal.com/ weev as the iProphet: http://the-iprophet.org/ http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5643217366887354926# (toorcon talk while tripping) http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2009/Oct/82 (some background, dox; sorry if this sort of thing is frowned upon here) The E.D. page: http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Weev Antisec: http://antisec.wordpress.com/ Goatse Security: http://security.goatse.fr/

It's actually their slogan: http://weev.livejournal.com/377701.html

Weev is mad that they didn't include his entire philosophy: http://weev.livejournal.com/305600.html

Obviously this is anecdotal, but I'm not ashamed to say that I was a bit ticked last semester when I came across a girl in one of my classes that had only taken one CS course, the intro class, and the past summer had interned at Microsoft. After her freshman year. As I sat next to her, watching her draw on her free Surface Pro and text on her free Lumia, I was thinking about the projects I was working on, the weekends upon weekends I had spent in highschool tinkering around in a shell, and yeah, it pissed me off. I'm not by any means claiming that women can't code, that's ridiculous. I've coded with with women that are incredible thinkers. I just think this is a problem, is all. Meritocracy over everything.
