The man who kicked off Gamergate and the brutal harassment of untold women by posting a 9,000-word screed about his ex-girlfriend's sex-life says he'd do it again (can't make an omelet without breaking ovaries, you know).

As this giant harassment campaign against women filled with all sorts of death threats. On the ground the movement isn’t barely like that.”
