I´m honestly very surprised over the fact that Milo Yiannopoulos (now called the “GG chihuahua” by Randi Harper) isn´t trending like crazy on Twitter yet (you get a hashtag under “Trends” on Twitter if you´re trending). But it´s probarly just a matter of time now. As Milo has been on the warpath path for several days now. I mean, it has just been a couple of days since he challenged Feminist Frequency to a debate.

And today it was time for round 2. And the person in question was none less than Randi Harper (aka “freebsdgirl“) herself. And that´s rather interesting for more than one reason. For starter Harper has been on and off the #GamerGate radar for months now. And during that time period, Harper has made some pretty disturbing twitter statements.

So what does all of this have to do with Gaming and the industry in general? Quite a lot actually. As devs with the “wrong” opinions might end up on the “The #GamerGate industry blacklists“. And Harper just happens to be the author of the ggautoblocker (Good Game Auto Blocker) bot.

And that´s what makes all of this relevent to the Gaming industry. As Harper has provided tools to silence people up online. Which is kind of funny, considering the fact that she´s the CEO of OAPI (Online Abuse Prevention Initiative)m hypocrite much?. Because Harper is notorious for Doxxing and going after people s employment, IF they don´t share the same views and options that she does (or if they simply just calls her out on something).

This is just one of many tweets of it´s kind by Harper. And look who gave it a fav on Twitter…

So when Yiannopoulos tweeted out the following earlier today (which started a big catfight between miss Harper and Milo):

I wonder if Randi Harper has seen this tweet by Milo yet?

I just thought for myself “what has Milo found? And what will he do with it?”. And what kind of impact will Milo´s leaked emails have on the current state of the industry? Who knows, it might actually become the Waterloo scandal of Gaming for all i know.

Because if you know Harper´s history. Then you know that she has quite a few friends in the industry. People such as Zoé Quinn (which has just become relevent to GamerGate again) and Brianna Wu for example. So i’m rather curious to see what kind stunts that Milo will pull in the near future, and what kind of affect that will have on things.

So what do you guys/girls think about all of this? And do you think Milo has the balls to publish those emails?
