Ashley's various antics have included pissing off /baphomet/ and getting two mounties sent to his apartment, whoring himself out to various television and radio stations to talk about getting "swatted", framing the entire Ghostbusterssubreddit as being involved in a fake conspiracy to make Fembusterslook like a shitty movie, and actually managing to lose a kickboxing match against an inanimate paper cutout of GamerGate mascot Vivian James.
David Sean MacLaggan was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan on January 11, 1975 to parents Marion and Rae MacLaggan. Like most children at the time, Sean was raised on a healthy diet of Evil Dead movies and Marvel Comics that eventually led to him developing a gay crush on director Sam Raimi and getting involved in the local self-published comic scene. While attending the University of Saskatchewan between 1994 and 1995, Sean's obsession with Raimi and comics would lead him to create the RAIMI-ZINE, the #1 Sam Raimi fanzine.
In 1996, Sean decided that he wanted to start making movies like his idol and started Malevolent Monkey Productions, a shitty film and video production service that he ran out of his parents' garage after having dropped out of college the previous year. Fortunately for the world of film connoisseurs, nothing ever came of this venture and Malevolent Monkey Productions' business registration expired in 1999 without ever having released a single film.
I was 25 and had yet to kiss a girl, much less close escrow. And here was this girl who I liked who wanted me. I’m sure I was worried about spending the rest of my life alone. About being a 40 year old virgin, all of it. So perhaps it’s possible I was with my wife because compared to my options it seemed like a better bet.

After officially becoming a couple and eventually marrying, Sean and Sarah moved to PenderHarbour, British Colombia, where they started a local computer repair and movie rental business that was creatively named SeanandSarah.com. In June of 2003, Sean would finally follow his life's dream of owning a shitty local video store and start Fresh Video – an incredibly ironic name when you realize that the store was just a way for Sean to make some easy money by renting out his personal collection of crappy old unwanted DVDs and VHS tapes.
“
In 2003, I realized what at that point was my dream – I started my own video store. It was a small store, put together out of my pre-existing resources and spit and polish. An extremely modest beginning. But it was mine. I persevered and ignored all the people who told me I couldn’t or shouldn’t do it and I made it happen. And it was slowly starting to work too. Then one night, on July 5th 2003, less than two months since I had opened, I was driving home in my piece of shit pickup truck and the unthinkable happened…

On July 5, 2003, Sean was driving home after a long day of work at his brand new video store when his shitty GMC S-15 was TOTES FUCKIN'REKT by a drunk driver named Kyle William Schroeder. As a result of the accident, Sean was left with further brain damage, a mouth full of horribly damaged teeth and began identifying as "disabled" and "crippled" due to the injuries that he suffered to his foot.
“
my injuries were severe. I woke up on the side of the road with my foot twisted around 180 degrees.
Following the accident, Sarah continued to love her pathetic, useless, crippled husband until she was eventually afflicted with the horrible disease known as pregnancy and, in December of 2005, gave birth to the couple's first and only child, Moira MacLaggan. At this point in his life, Sean had everything that a man could possibly want – a loving waifu who didn't care that he was a crippled midget, a newborn daughter who was still far too young to run her filthy whore mouth, and a shitty local video store that was stocked with old shit he didn't want anymore.
My ex would sometimes ask me what I was thinking about while masturbating. I would reply “just naked women.” True. Except I was one of the naked women.
„
—Sean MacLaggan
Over the course of a single year, Sean would fall into a cripplingdepression and be driven to the brink of suicide (although he was far too much of a pussy to JUST FUCKING DO IT). Eventually, Sean realized that if he wanted to live, he would have to finally come out to his wife and inform her of the fact that she had married a lesbian who was trapped in a man's body.
In my eyes she’s all but gone off the deep end. She constantly asks if I think she’s crazy and I always tell her “No.” I’m not going to make that judgement call. At least not out loud.
Back before transition, my ex was always convinced that I was not a true transsexual, but that I was an autogynophile, and that if I transitioned I would be miserable.
„
—Sean, on Sarah being right
“
Her argument was that everything I seemed to want to do regarding being a female was very sexual in nature. The first girl underwear I bought was essentially sexy lingerie.
My ex used to tell me continually as well that she was sure transitioning would only make me more miserable, not happy. And so I entered transition.

—Sean, on wanting to be miserable
“
I remember my ex once saying to me in a bitter tone “congratulations, you hate your body, you’re finally a woman.”
„
—Sean, on his self-hatred
“
Often times, having sex with my ex was fruitless and frustrating. I could always finish her off and leave her satisfied, but all to often the results would be me losing my ability to stay erect mid-way through and not getting a chance to orgasm.
I remember when my ex-wife first laid eyes on me, I was at the tail end of having dyed my hair red a month earlier and it had washed out to a point where my hair was pink.
„
—Sean, on marrying a fag hag
“
My ex as the worst for it. One time I hugged her because she was upset and she pushed me away demanding to know who was hugging her, her husband or Ashley. She didn’t want a hug from Ashley.
Rather than simply accept that his own faggotry had caused Sarah to leave him, Sean attempted to seek comfort by convincing himself that it was all his mentally ill, conspiracy theorist ex-wife's fault.
After reluctantly agreeing to a divorce from Sarah, Sean's already pathetic life was left in tatters – he had no waifu, rarely saw his daughter, had no friends, still had a severe case of chronic five o'clock shadow and was desperate to date lesbians who have no fucking interest in dating a vertically-challenged man who likes to dress like a cheap hooker.
Sean desperately desired a second life, so he finally decided to sign up for one on SecondLife.com on January 9th, 2007. Sean's new identity was Ashley Lynch, an utterly obnoxious wannabe-firesnatchdominatrix whose surname is an obvious homage to America's favourite pastime.
“
I recreated my male self as closely as possible and then feminized it to suggest what I might look like as a woman. The effects in Second Life of course are more generalized and idealized, creating an image of woman that I could never attain.
Driving home I stopped at a red light and started yelling at women crossing the street. They couldn’t hear me in the vehicle, but I was shouting at them, “Fuck you! Fuck you! Fuck you!” I was angry at every woman I saw for being so effortlessly female. It was completely wasted on them, for they don’t know the figt they truely have. Or so I imagine.
I remember once my ex accused me of not wanting her but really wanting a version of me with tits.

Now that I’m fully female (minus surgery), I’m discovering a new path. Womanhood.
„
—Ashley, on being a dude in a dress
“
And while I vehemently denied that my desire and need to be a woman was sexual, there’s part of me that knew it aroused me greatly.
„
—Ashley
“
My ex would sometimes ask me what I was thinking about while masturbating. I would reply “just naked women.” True. Except I was one of the naked women.
What followed would be a long and twisted tale of Ashley becoming a huge fucking slut who'd have a different girlfriend every fucking week and was willing to cheat on at least one of them with a married woman. Ashley's first post-Sarah relationship would be with Suzanne Clayton, a fellow shemale whom Ashley had met via Second Life.
“
Is this as good a time as any to mention the fact that I’ve met a wonderful woman? I think so. I met her online at the Transgender Resource Center in Second Life and we instantly connected. It wasn’t long before we fell in love and have been spending as much time as possible online together, just waiting for the chance that we can spend as much time as possible together in person. If you look back over my posts, I think you can see the moment that I fell in love and how much it just flipped me around. We both know that it started as total crushing on each other and now we’re trying to lay down a solid foundation for us to build a long lasting relationship on.
„
—Ashley
“
But if there’s one thing I love more, it’s Suzanne. She’s the wonderful trans-girl I met online. We’ve been spending so much time together and loving every second of it. I feel so comfortable and at home with her. Mostly, I am just madly in love. It’s making me totally loopy. When she’s not around, I don’t know what to do with myself. I’m so worried about coming off as a crazy woman to her, almost like a stalker. But she reciprocates my love. We have to continually had to apply the brakes to keep our thing from spinning out of control. At first I found myself wondering how someone so wonderful could possibly fall In love with me. But then I realized it’s because I’m a wonderful and beautiful person. All I know is when she’s not around, part of me feels absent. If that’s not love, what is it?
„
—Ashley
“
I just want to live a comfortable, and yes, even normal life. My great fear is that I will spend my life with Suzanne and we will tuck ourselves away creating a semi-deluded environment where we don’t have to examine how ridiculous we appear. And really who gives a fuck what other people think. At the end of the day, I think I have to raise my hand sheepishly and say “I do.” I think there a sense that it wasn’t watching the movie that upset me near as much as it felt like I was being forced to really see myself rather than living inside myself. I’m not entirely sure I liked what I saw.
I invited a bunch of trans friends from online to join me in DC and head out to a club to reclaim our stupid adult/teen years we never got to experience.
„
—Ashley
“
And then insert my best friend. She’s married. And on one fateful weekend something happened, and I fell madly in love with her. It took me a long time to get the courage to tell her my true feelings and I tortured myself trying to make them go away for a long time. But as I did, she revealed she had feelings for me too, but couldn’t ever love me the way I wanted because she knew she needed a man, and that her marriage which was very much struggling would probably not survive this.
I’ve always noted the overly narcissistic nature of transsexuals, myself included. I’ve sat and listened to them whine “Me! Me! Me!” like they were the most important topic on the face of the planet.

People being led around on leashes in public with their hands bound and saying “Yes Mistress” constantly who assert that to tell them to not be submissive is like telling them not to be trans. People who claim to be infantile preteen children and will debate until the end of time how it is a legitimate identity that must be accepted just like their gender identity. (I’m not kidding.)

While I’m talking about names, and I’m sure I’m ranted about it before. But what the fuck is up with all these trans people picking the most ridiculous, exotic sounding names? Pick something a little more normal. If your goal is to pass, or not stick out, then go with your Jennifers, Sandras and Laurens. What’s wrong with that? If you want to be a stripper, then go with your Electras, Shaniquas, and Phoenixes. Ultimately it’s no place for me to judge, but I can’t help but weigh in with what seems like ordinary common sense.

—Ashley, ignoring the fact that we have a whole gallery of him doing this
It wasn’t long before some guy approached me from behind and started dancing close with me. By close I mean I could feel his erection firmly between my ass cheeks. So what’s the proper response? Turn around and say “no thank you?” Slap him? Stick my hand up and wave him away with a displeased expression? Any of those would have helped. Instead I did nothing. I was scared and confused and didn’t know what to do. The only thought that really came into my head was that I was disgusted and really wanted him to stop. I kept inching forward as I dancing trying to get away from his anal intrusion and he kept inching closer. He also very quickly kept trying to get his hands under my dress and grope my tits. Those I did fend off. I got very worried about him actually making it under my dress and discovering a bulge. Honestly I didn’t know what to make of it. There was no consent, I was never asked if he could dance with me. There was no eye contact to suggest that I might welcome his getting closer, in fact there was no eye contact at all. I never even saw him. I was blown away that a guy, even in a place like that, would just walk up behind a girl and dry hump her with no warning. Is dry hump too harsh of way to put it? Well, at one point he stopped dancing and just started pumping back and forth against my ass, pushing his disgusting erection into me with each horrible thrust.
I did not want this. I did not ask for it. I just wanted it to stop. But I was naïve, scared, and unsure what I should do. I didn’t feel in physical danger at any time, because I was with my friends and we were watching out for each other. Instead of doing anything to stop it, I froze like a doe in headlights and just hoped it would stop on it’s own. Mostly I was disappointed in myself. I knew what I should do. I know what I should have done. But in the moment, I was unable to do anything. And now as a result, I feel like my body was violated. The next day I felt like I wanted to be anything but pretty. I wanted to cut my hair off and throw out all my makeup. Dress as frumpy as possible. I would be anything but desirable.

She had also just shown Moira my blog and was extremely upset about the references to her. I wouldn’t expect her to be happy about them. I’ve read about myself in a blog before and it sucks. In particular she felt that what I express about my relationship to her was completely untrue and blown out of proportion. She was insulted and felt wronged that I have portrayed her as a monster.

My ex at one time when questioning the validity of me being a woman asked me why so many of my stories seemed to be about abusing women. Quite honestly, I've never seen that, and if she got that from my stories, it certainly wasn't something that was put in there on purpose. I don't like to pull punches in my stories and I often like to give women equal treatment in being knocked around as well as do some knocking of their own... depending on the story. But recently I reflected on what my ex said and started examining my screenplays. About 80% of my screenplays all feature female leads, not very surprising. It makes total sense for me to fulfill my need to live as a woman through the characters in my stories. But what I also found was not that there is a common theme of abuse towards women, but that definitely the women in my stories seem to get punished. In fact, they are often punished simply for being themselves. I have one script in particular, where the main character ends up getting raped by the bigoted antagonist who seeks to usurp control over her and punish her for being a lesbian. From this I've extracted that not only did I chose to live a female existence through the characters in my story, but that I also subconsciously felt the need to punish myself for it. A subconscious reaction telling me that which I want is wrong. This realization has rocked my world a little. Not a lot, but just enough to make me lose a little footing.

It’s no mistake that GG plays out almost entirely on 8chan, Twitter and Reddit.
Ashley is a known accomplice of fellow SJW tranny Nicholas "Sarah Butts" Nyberg and has attempted to claim that the only reason that people are mean to Sarah is because he is a vocal critic of GamerGate – because, clearly, noone has ever hated Sarah Nyberg due to the fact that he's a sick fuckingpaedophiletranny who's gotten a boner over his 8-year-old cousin, distributed "child model" pics from his chat room and has admitted to being attracted to the white half of a "half blackielittlegirl" who occasionally visits his neighbours' home.

Cernowatch monitors Cernovich, gamergate and 8chan related activity on Twitter and tweets pictures of what's going on in a funny and sarcastic way. Our purpose is to let the harassers know they're being watched, and send a heads up to whomever Playdangerously is targeting today that they might be the recipient of fake legal threats. Hence we follow 2+ Gamergate Big Wigs.

I’m connected to this woman through several mutual friends. The BC film industry is pretty small and closely-knit. We’ve never met personally that I’m aware of, but we know several of the same people.
There are some suspicions from her inner circle on whether or not she’s telling the whole truth. Many think she takes her social justice to an absurd extreme, but for the most part ignore it, but think her whole ‘media tour’ after being doxxed is suspect. As far as I know, none have attempted to call her out on it (professional courtesy) and some are afraid she’ll start targeting them.
Whether or not she’s telling the whole truth is still up for debate. But even among those she calls friends and colleagues, there are suspicions.
Ashley is constantly making references to the huge numbers of people who call him "unfuckable" – which is hilarious when you realize that he's actually lying!

On July 10, 2016, Better_Butter321 (a.k.a. AnonyMouse32), a redditor and long-time user of /r/moviescirclejerk—a subreddit dedicated to mocking the numerous movie-related circlejerks that occur on reddit— decided to troll the /r/ghostbusters subreddit by making a thread that implied that the entire community was trying to make the recent Ghostbusters "reboot" look bad – a very simple task since the movie was legitimately trash and was made solely to pander to dumb feminists and milk a long-dead franchise.
Through an amazing set of coincidences, Better_Butter321 just happened to be a Canadian movie aficionado with a penchant for trolling, snark and writing tl;dr bullshit that noone cared about.
“
Ok, so obviously the reviews aren't as bad as we had hoped. So what more can we do at this point to make sure that the public knows it's terrible so that it bombs?
We were doing a pretty good job of filtering out positive reviews in /r/movies, but they consolidated them into a mega thread and now people are starting to say maybe we were wrong.
Not long after the thread on reddit was created, Ashley Lynch posted a screencap of it on his Twatter in an attempt to show that Fembusters was the target of a massive misogynist hate campaign. Unfortunately, Ashley overlooked one small detail – the screenshot that he posted was taken a mere minute after he himself posted the thread on /r/ghostbusters!
Yes, in his haste to create a lulzy false-flag and blame ZOMG TEH GAMERGATORS, Ashley had committed the #1 sin of trolling – he revealed his identity and intentions by being a complete fuckwit.
Hijacking top comment to point out: Better_Butter321 has been shilling this terrible Ghostbusters reboot for over a month. They post non-stop about how "great" it is and how anyone who doesn't want to see it is a misogynist (because apparently "the graphics, jokes and script looks terrible" is misogyny).
Suddenly they're posting an Anti-Ghostbusters thread?
And WITHIN SECONDS, with NO REPLIES, a journalist called Ashley Lynch happens to screengrab it and post it on her Twitter as "proof" that it's somehow a conspiracy of people "hiding good reviews" that early audiences are absolutely panning it as terrible?
Sorry Ashley Lynch, on top of it at minimum showing you're a shit journalist and it being very likely that this Better_Butters321 account is you, it appears your fake bullshit was quickly refuted by actual Ghostbuster fans tearing this thread apart.

My American brothers and sisters, I know you don't need to be told this, but I'm gonna say it anyway. There's a contingent of white America that has been legitimized by the monster that just got elected, and for them that means a war on women, a war on people of colour, a war on LGBT, a war on Jews and a war on Muslims.
All of the Tracer lesbian fanart suggests that not only are gamers ok with Tracer being homosexual but they were okay with it before Blizzard even made it canon.

The amount of widow x tracer art made a strong case for the community support of gay tracer

Yeah, we were so mad that Tracer is a lesbian. Let me just check the monumental amounts of lesbian porn of her out for rmonths [sic] to confirm how mad we are.
„
—Third_Circle

Yeah, there's been like, a ton of fanart with Tracer fawning over Widowmaker's ass made long before we got confirmation of her sexuality.
„

Aw jeez, now it's extra impossible to bang Tracer! I tried to draw her giving a blowjob but the dick just kept coming out as a vulva! Now Blizzard will never release official straight Tracer porn!
What planet are these people from? Because it seems like their delusion is more powerful than nuclear fusion.

It's mind bogglingly stupid. It's like they think now that Tracer is a confirmed lesbian, male gamers are going to magically stop wanting to fuck her. That's not how any of this works. Lord knows confirmed straight characters are not safe from the hordes of tumblr yaoi artists.

TBH I am disappointed that Tracer is a lesbian. Because that means I'm out of the game and I have a mad crush on Tracer. feelsbadman.jpg

Jesus Christ, why are these people so hellbent on making it look like we're pissed that Tracer's got a girlfriend? I mean seriously, I've seen far more SJW's/smug folks bitching about people bitching about her sexuality than actual angry people bitching about her sexuality!
„
—NoxiousSludge
“
Seriously though, I've got no problem with it: if anything, I'm kinda envious of Tracer's awesome catch. How lucky can a girl be when she hooks up with a 10/10 smoking hot redhead like that?
„
—NoxiousSludge

I'm not sure why more gay people aren't complaining to these people that being paraded around is offensive. They're treating Tracer being gay as a sideshow.

No one's pissed that Tracer is gay, people are pissed that her gay lover isn't Futa Widomaker :D

It would appear she's currently hovering over the sub, hitting f5 and looking for mentions of her name, according to her twitter feed. She posted a removed post tagged "Humor" and this thread as well.
Ashley, if you're reading this - which, if you're ctrl+f-ing this thread, you probably will - we don't give a shit about her being gay, despite what you want to believe. Also, was it really only 15 hours into the new year that you're using CurrentYear in your tweets, and mocking the idea of readers wanting journalistic integrity in this new age of fake news? You really are a clueless twit.
Anyway, happy new year!

Alt-Right Club
On January 21, 2017, Ashley decided to tweet his thoughts on wannabewhite supremacist and known yellow fever sufferer Richard B. Spencer being punched in the face by an angry DisruptJ20antifaggot during President Donald Trump's inauguration. Being the tolerant progressive liberal that he is, Ashley of course decided that, rather than discouraging unprovoked violence against people that you disagree with, he would instead fully support the cowardly cunt who socked Dickie Spencer in the face.
Ashley then made the following disturbing and borderline threatening tweet:
“
I’ll say it — Richard Spencer should be afraid to leave his house. He should not feel empowered, emboldened or protected. Ever.
Not wanting to leave a perfectly good lolcow unmilked, a young man named Jamie Schneider decided to change the names and personal pronouns in Ashley's own tweet to help make the point that Ashley Lynch is a fucking hypocrite.
“

—Jamie Schneider, changing two words in Ashley Lynch's previous tweet (archive)
Unfortunately for Jamie, Ashley is a fucking mental case and immediately decided that his own fucking words being used against him constituted "death threats" and warranted calling the police. Yes, Ashley actually called the goddamn police because someone on the internets pointed out the blatant hypocrisy of his own threats against Richard Spencer.

Some Vancouver kid who's a Nazi sympathizer just threatened me on Twitter, but was dumb enough to not be anonymous. Time to call the police.
So trolls are trying to say I’m engaging in hypocrisy using their typical Drax-like nuance deficiency.

If you think saying a public figure Nazi shouldn’t feel safe is same as telling a woman who lives in the same city shouldn't feel safe...

So, how shocked am I to learn that the local pro-Nazi Vancouver goof who I had to call police on because he threatened me is also a Gamergater. Not very.
He also shot Facebook video of the Women's March downtown and called it "low energy."

>tfw when @ashleylynch tweets a threat at Richard Spencer, someone else replaces the name with her own name and NOW it's a threat
Someone (I don't know who) took it upon themselves to contact his place of work and forward some of the more anti-semetic tweets this guy has made as well as the threat he leveled against me. His company posted a public statement about it on their Twitter account, so obviously it's become an issue.
As a result, the guy who sent the threat has gone dark on social media.
Even though I had been informed of where he works, I made the decision not to contact his employer but rather just let the police handle it. I see nothing to be gained from losing someone their job. But apparently this guy is a known quantity in the low-level local games industry (he's a QA tester) and he's already burned a lot of bridges with his bullshit.
Chickens come home to roost.

I get threats like this on a regular basis. It shouldn't have to be, but it's the price of being an outspoken woman online who doesn't suffer fools.
Most threats I just report, block and move on. I rarely take them seriously. But considering that this goof is in public transit distance from me, I thought it important to involve the police.
