Leigh Alexander

Leigh Alexander is a fat, racist alcoholic who works as a game journalist to promote the clients of her indie game PR firm and spends the rest of her time taking whore pics of herself holding a controller and telling people about how much she actually hates video gamers and video games (which she doesn't even play). She also threatens people for disagreeing with her that she will end their career and looking down her nose at people who criticize her by telling them they are poor, while she herself is a 30 year old who currently living in a slum and possibly still with her dad.

It is all of this and more that makes her hated, not only by her readers, but by other gaming journalists as well. That and the fact she keeps eating all their pie.

Who is Leigh Alexander?

Leigh is a multifaceted personality with various layers of obnoxiousness, bitchiness, racism and fat.

She's such a cunt that even her friends hate her

Before we get into anything Leigh has said or done, let's hear a testimony from one of her friends as to what she's like:

	“	She generally came off as a very insecure, desperate-to-fit-in person hiding behind a facade of disdain and superiority. She was not a terribly good writer. She found a handful of phrases and descriptive elements, and endlessly reworked them into everything she posted…I felt her public fixation on sexual issues was off-putting.	„

	“	what I’ve read of hers has shown a lack of fact-checking or research. She has a very blatant agenda with anything she writes, and will be loose with the facts to support that.	„

	“	attention-starved phony.	„

	“	She’s a fraud through and through. That hasn’t changed.	„

	“	a bigot that doesn’t deserve her job, and your lack of integrity and inclusiveness is evidence of that.	„

	“	Girl, time to leave the games writing business.	„

	“	I mostly remember her for being kind of an elitist girl. She would lash out if things didn’t go her way.	„

	“	Leigh was, for lack of a better term, insufferable. She was hard to swallow even when we were all very practiced in dealing with overpowering personalities. She was loud, demanding, unfair, and worst of all a fairly talented writer. Nowadays she plays the victim just as well as she ever did. She sings and dances around criticism and directs it deftly into herself as a personal attack that she can just shrug off and discredit because when it’s about her, it’s not about her opinions, her words, her attitude, or her personality. She wears the mummer’s motley well, but I think that’s actually just who she is, so who am I to call her a phony? She’s self-serving, manipulative, and abusive. She was when we were kids. She might be the most true to herself person I know.	„

	“	I think it’s a coping mechanism, you have to buy-in to what you’re doing –otherwise you have a massive breakdown. Your entire life is a lie, and everything you do is meaningless, years of your life has been wasted etc, etc.	„

	“	Did I ever think Leigh Alexander would become a critical games journalist? Is she now? I played video games professionally for years, and I had never heard of her except in passing.	„

	“	I know that she called me fat and ugly. Better than illiterate, I suppose.	„

	“	What do I have to say to her today? I would tell her to remember who she is, but honestly. I think that’s the problem.	„

	“	I feel like she’s way past the point of no return.	„

	“	Maybe it’s time to leave games journalism.	„

Yes, Leigh is such a cunt that a while after GamerGate started a number of her old friends came out to do an interview and tell everyone what they really think of her. These are only some of the quotes. The rest can be found in the links and are well worth reading.

Alexander hates gamers

One thing that can be seen throughout her "career" is that Leigh Alexander absolutely DESPISES gamers. She is often seen calling them fat, nerd, virgins and losers, as well as what SJW's consider an insult but most sane people consider a compliment: Straight, white, males.

All of this makes her choice to be a game journalist baffling. One theory is that, according to her tweets, because the boys never let her play video games with them she now hates all men and all gaming and wants to destroy them both (as she had herself stated). That is why, when GamerGate broke out, she saw it as a perfect opportunity to eliminate the gamer public (her war with black people would have to wait) and quickly began writing articles about how the term "Gamer" is dead and how everyone who uses it is a rapist. One of the people who works with her even found a file on her computer called "A guide to destroying gamers".

How Alexander interacts with her critics

Leigh hates video games and gamers and spends most of her time telling everyone how they are all fat losers and how the indie industry of homeless hipsters making flash games is far more important than the multi-million productions of the AAA industry because she known no one in any real video game company gives a fuck what she thinks, says or does. That is why she has to roll away into the depths of the indie crowd where she can pretend to have some sort of power and try to control people by claiming they are misogynists.

But, even more than the actual gamers, she hates criticism from them. That is why she shut down her comment section and whenever any of them try to contact her she responds by posting their email address and asking her white knights on twitter to save their damsel and troll them for her.

As you can see, she also encourages other gaming journalists to follow her example. But, there aren't always any dox for her to give to her following of fat beta males that she hates but who jerk off to her tweets every night before going to bed. When this happens she resorts to calling them poor.

This is ironic because she herself, despite being a "successful" business woman (lol), is in her 30's and lives either at home with her dad, in a slum or both.

How Alexander interacting with game devs and other journalists

But not all people who tell her she's shit are nameless nobodies, other journos and game developers hate her too! For example, David Jaffe expressed how much he hates her once, which is probably a sentiment shared by most people in the industry, to which she responded by posting a drunken blog post (a recurring theme with her) and possibly trying to get him fired.

Trying to get people to lose their job is a common practice with Leigh, as she is quick to tell people that she will end their career if they ever criticize or even so much as disagree with her.

"Haha! I said something about her! I bet her career is over now!"
"Telling me harassing people is unprofessional? LOL! Fuck you faggot!"

However, there are all idle threats. There is no evidence that she has ever been able to do anything to anyone and just hopes that people will take her at her word that she has some kind of real power and back off.

Ironically, after yet another drunken debacle, she had to create a hashtag called #saveleighalexander to beg her followers to defend her from losing her job.

Alexander the alcoholic

This person is a fierce alcoholic

You can help by sending them pamphlets and donating your liver.

You'd be hard pressed to find a picture of Leigh where she isn't drinking or currently drunk. Almost all her interactions online and off are done under the influence of alcohol including: Drunk tweeting, drunk blogging and attending panels and conventions drunk. At one drunken freakout during a panel at a convention she started screaming that it cost E3 775,000,000 a day to rent the space that they were holding the event at and spazzed out until her tit popped out. The picture was too pixilated to make anything out, but it is safe to say that, despite the magic of photoshop and push-up bras in her other pictures, her tits are probably pretty saggy.

Alexander the Giant Racist

Finally safe from those damn "Hood Men".

Another wonderful aspect of Alexander is her raging racism. Her twitter is full of hateful tweets about blacks, the Irish and god knows who else. Up until recently she had kept them in full view, believing she can't be touched, but after GamerGate flooded her employer's inbox with emails about it she began to hide these tweets. However, not only was it already far too late, she has over 91,000 tweets, so there are probably a lot more of these gems laying around.

Leigh Assaults an ex Employee

There is a rumor (and, as you know from reading this site, all rumors are always true) that Leigh once physically assaulted one of her former employees.

The story is that she was drunk (big shock there) and probably at GDC, when someone who used to work with her said something about feminism she didn't like. Leigh went apeshit and started trying to beat him up and people had to pull her fat ass off of him. Later people convinced them to make nice and that was the end of that. Until some website put up an article mentioning it. Obviously Leigh had it taken down and few people know where to find it anymore, but people who saw it or saw what actually happen and remember it say Leigh is a fucking drunken psycho.

Her PR Company and Fraudulent Practices

Alexander is also the head of a gaming PR company called "Agency for Games". This does not stop her from retaining her position as editor-at-large at Gamasutra and probably using her connections with various groups, her personal twitter and contests like the IGF to promote her clients and their shitty games in a blatant conflict of interests.

Not only that, but also:

Book:

I another scheme to make money, Leigh published a "Book". I put the word "Book" in quotation marks because a better word would be "Pamphlet". The mind-munbingly dull, 65 page long rush job that is this book was names "The Breathing Machine" and details her life story despite the fact she has yet to do a single worthwhile thing. Luckily, you don't have to pay to read this turd of a book (although I can't for the life of me think of a reason you would want to do that in the first place) because someone uploaded it to the internet to rob Leigh of her jewgold.

Failed Acting Career:

Apparently, Leigh studied acting. There is no mention of this anywhere so it was probably just another failed pipe-dream. She now uses her training to make hilarious, overblown facial expressions on news shows.

Leigh Whoring

Except the white girl is actually fuckable

Leigh is the epitome of the stereotype of "whore with a controller", a self defined "Gamer girl" who admittedly doesn't even play the games she reviews and can be seen here literally whoring around half naked with a controller that isn't actually plugged into anything.

Hilariously, she took these pictures despite once going apeshit and getting Matt Clark banned from GameJournoPros after she was featured in an article called "The 40 Hottest Women in Tech" and he said it was not a big deal. She bitched and whined about how the article was sexist, but that may be because, despite the fact that there are virtually no hot women in tech, Leigh was still able to place at No. 46 at the bottom of the list. Far behind uglier women and women twice her age because at least, unlike Leigh, they weren't fat.

And, again, none of this stopped her from taking these whore pics of herself and posting them online because her posing in a towel with a camera just short of being pointed directly at her vagina is somehow less objectifying to her.
