Ian’s name became prominent in the 2010s when he involved himself in the discourse around #Gamergate, a coordinated #OnlineHarassment campaign towards women in the video game industry like Zoe Quinn and Anita Sarkeesian.
Funnily enough, Ian positioned his views against the harassment, defending those who were targeted by Gamergate and calling himself a “turbo-feminist”.
Some Twitter users should expect to see an uptick in abuse and spam after anti-harassment service Block Party announced it will be taking an indefinite hiatus from the platform starting today.
