M00t's GamerGate Sellout
"m00t's GamerGate Sellout" or "The Death of 4chan" was the final nail in the coffin of m00t's integrity being driven in with the force of two trains collaiding when he sold out 4chan to social justice warriors in hopes he can use their connections to make money.
GamerGate
GamerGate was what happened when one whore feminist's sordid past became public knowledge as well as her willingness to fuck anyone who would help advance her gaming career. All of this has been thoroughly discussed in the "Zoe Quinn" and "GamerGate" articles, as well as all related articles. What matter now is its connection m00t and 4chan.
A short time after the controversy began, all the GamerGate thread started getting deleted. Then they came back, but soon after started getting removed again. Attempt to contact m00t failed and the feedback page was deleted to prevent further discussion.
Finally, m00t returned from some convention and made a bunch of excuses about why the threads are banned.
However, this turned out not to be true.
Leaked Skype Chats
Several anonymous posts by supposed ex mods that can not (at the moment) be confirmed began to show up on the forum. In them it is detailed how m00t has sold out and removed and mod that disagreed with him, only to have them replaced by feminist cronies.
Other evidance came to light like m00t hanging out with Anita Sarkeesian and dating a jewish SJW. Finally, someone leaked what he claimed to be his privet discussions with his new mods.

There are only 12 of us online... [9/18/14 12:42 AM] moot: Timezone issues I assume. I'm not going to fault them, but I told them about this last night [9/18/14 12:42 AM] moot: They could've just said "I can't come" instead of leaving me hanging. Oh well. [9/18/14 12:42 AM] [REDACTED 5]: We're listening, man [9/18/14 12:42 AM] [REDACTED 3]: I haven't been this anxious since the Chris-Chan debatacle ffs [9/18/14 12:42 AM] moot: Chris-Chan was some weird autistic kid. This is nowhere close to that. [9/18/14 12:42 AM] [REDACTED 7]: it's weird how just a month ago we were all like "huh well isn't this interesting" [9/18/14 12:42 AM] [REDACTED 1]: hurry up with the speech moot [9/18/14 12:42 AM] [REDACTED 2]: I'm anxious too m8 [9/18/14 12:42 AM] moot: Hold the fuck on, damn [9/18/14 12:42 AM] [REDACTED 7]: but now it's become so enticing, a disgusting perverted issue that is a war between rational people who just want to support women, and lanky disgusting fucks who can't stand the idea of a woman having sex [9/18/14 12:42 AM] [REDACTED 1]: you know what they say [9/18/14 12:42 AM] [REDACTED 6]: I arrived just in time wtf [9/18/14 12:43 AM] [REDACTED 1]: dumbfucks gonna dumbfuck [9/18/14 12:43 AM] moot: Read this thoroughly before responding, don't post while I'm posting: [9/18/14 12:43 AM] [REDACTED 2]: It's habbnin' [9/18/14 12:43 AM] moot: Cracked sent me an email a few days ago [9/18/14 12:43 AM] moot: The same day Zoe issued her article, to be exact [9/18/14 12:43 AM] moot: They told me they are strong supporters of the Social Justice Movement, and are through sitting behind while the harassment goes on [9/18/14 12:44 AM] moot: They said if I didn't stop Gamergate on 4chan, they would write an article that "exposes" 4chan for the "true cesspit" it is. They're also going to basically get feminists to hack in and take down my site. [9/18/14 12:44 AM] moot: And coincidentally, I got a letter that threatened to lynch me in the streets, from a group of hackers who strongly support feminism. [9/18/14 12:44 AM] moot: A day before this, I went to see Anita speak at XOXO, and she was absolutely lovely. Behind the scenes, I got to have a word with her. We hit it off perfect, and we're now friends through online communication. [9/18/14 12:44 AM] moot: I told her my situation, and her advice was to get my mods to delete everything Gamergate on site. [9/18/14 12:44 AM] moot: I was reluctant, but after that day, I did what she said. You all remember the day I told you to delete Gamergate shit, we were convinced it would work. [9/18/14 12:44 AM] moot: But it didn't fucking work. [9/18/14 12:45 AM] moot: That hacker group is real btw. [9/18/14 12:45 AM] moot: They've been sending more letters to my house, and emails to my personal address. [9/18/14 12:45 AM] moot: Funny thing is, I still support them more than I do Gamergate. [9/18/14 12:45 AM] moot: So, that's why I'm so worried. I got Cracked making threats and a group threatening to take down my site. [9/18/14 12:45 AM] moot: The two are very powerful, and can get done what they say they want to get done. ...mostly just reiterating and people reacting for the next few minutes, nothing noteworthy. here's where the real dirt begins: [9/18/14 12:59 AM] [REDACTED 2]: The Internet Aristocrat's real name is ------ - ------- and it turns out he has a real job at ------------. Maybe, we could call him at work and get him fired because of his shameless support of harassment? [9/18/14 12:59 AM] [REDACTED 3]: Holy hell, how did you find that? [9/18/14 1:00 AM] [REDACTED 2]: A friend who used to know him. The Aristocrat's a disgusting human being, he deserves it. [9/18/14 1:00 AM] [REDACTED 10]: We have dox on a lot of Gamergate supporters. [9/18/14 1:00 AM] [REDACTED 10]: Nero and MundaneMatt among others. [9/18/14 1:00 AM] moot: While I don't advocate doxing, maybe this could play into our advantage. [9/18/14 1:00 AM] [REDACTED 5]: Couldn't we just scare the supporters off? [9/18/14 1:00 AM] moot: Scaring them off could take work. [9/18/14 1:00 AM] [REDACTED 6]: Tell them we got dox because they posted in /v/ [9/18/14 1:00 AM] [REDACTED 8]: What the hell, you're not legitimately considering this are you? [9/18/14 1:00 AM] [REDACTED 8]: They could find out it was us. [9/18/14 1:00 AM] [REDACTED 1]: we can use firewalls, lol [9/18/14 1:00 AM] moot: I'm reluctant, but not unwilling to try that. [9/18/14 1:01 AM] [REDACTED 8]: Fine, but what about the people using proxies? [9/18/14 1:01 AM] [REDACTED 5]: There are more people without proxies than people with proxies. [9/18/14 1:01 AM] moot: ^ We can get rid of most of them. [9/18/14 1:01 AM] [REDACTED 5]: I'll work on the idea. Maybe, get in one normie supporter so it looks legit. [9/18/14 1:01 AM] moot: Nice. Sometimes hostility is the answer. Not all the time, but sometimes. it all gets kind of un-noteworthy after that, but the last thing i mentioned... [9/18/14 1:31 AM] [REDACTED 5]: What about that new site you mentioned earlier? [9/18/14 1:31 AM] moot: I got Tumblr's support on the project. I'm still brainstorming though... [9/18/14 1:31 AM] [REDACTED 1]: any ideas? [9/18/14 1:32 AM] [REDACTED 8]: Tumblr? You're not going SJW on me are you? [9/18/14 1:32 AM] moot: Fuck off. Speak with me in IM. I've got a word to have with you. [9/18/14 1:32 AM] [REDACTED 7]: you can support social justice without being from tumblr, dipshit [9/18/14 1:32 AM] moot: In response to ------, I have no current ideas. [9/18/14 1:32 AM] [REDACTED 1]: what about 4chan? [9/18/14 1:32 AM] [REDACTED 3]: #BurnDown4chan [9/18/14 1:32 AM] [REDACTED 5]: 4chan's ride never ends. It just gets more disgusting and disturbing as you go along [9/18/14 1:32 AM] moot: I'll have to rebuild it from the ground up, or I'll sell it to someone else. [9/18/14 1:32 AM] [REDACTED 7]: Why would you be worried about hackers taking it down if you yourself want to take it down? [9/18/14 1:32 AM] moot: I said sell it, not shut it down. [9/18/14 1:33 AM] [REDACTED 7]: Either way, can you make sure to permanently ban everyone who's posted in Gamergate threads? [9/18/14 1:33 AM] [REDACTED 4]: Yeah, if you want to rebuild 4chan, the first step is banning EVERY. SINGLE. GAMERGATE. SUPPORTER. [9/18/14 1:33 AM] moot: It'll take a lot of work, but I'll probably do that. [9/18/14 1:33 AM] moot: Don't know yet. |

More leaks
|
These logs can not be confirmed, as there are no screencaps, but the events that preceeded and followed seem to match m00t's "plan".
Theories About Why He Did It
The logs, as well as other evidence uncovered, provide various explanations as to m00t's newfound love of sperm. One of these, or some combination of several, is probably the reason.
They are detailed below.
Preceding Events Piling Up
Some believe that a number of drama bombs that came in the months before GamerGate may have pushed m00t over the edge.
First was the 4th of July tumblr raid that was conducted when someone made a troll blog about shutting down 4chan and everyone pretended not to know it was a troll blog to give them an excuse to raid tumblr.
The raid lasted a few days and utterly destroyed the entire community who all bitched and whined about being triggered.
In the midst of all this, someone claimed that the raid led to some girl's suicide and that girl, as was recently claimed by a supposed mod, was related to one of the founders of Gawker. This is highly doubtful since it didn't even make the news, but the mod leaks claim that m00t was super mad about it, in part because he is trying to get a new start-up of the ground with tumblr's collaboration.
After the tumblr raid some mods who were not m00t's ass-kissers were unhappy with his new demand to ban anything that is anti-tumblr. Those who dared complain were fired on the spot, while the rest agreed amongst each other that, next time this happens, they will ignore his instructions and just let it be.
When "DashCon" ended up being a massive, humiliating failure, m00t again said that threads about it are banned (even though none of them were raids and there was no reason for it). While some of the mods continued to do his bidding, the rest just ignored the threads.
m00t would later fire them too so that he could make room for more suckups.
The Fappening
Lastly came "The Fappining", when a shit-ton of celebrity nudes were leaked. Soon after, all threads were banned and a new DMCA content removal system was added. Was there actually a lawyer involved that forced m00t to do this, or did he do it of his own desire to kiss the asses of angry feminists? we may never know.
Blackmail/Bribe/Girlfriend From Gawker
There are various links to Gawker in this case and the speculation as to their influence is varied. It is most likely a combination of all these factors.
Blackmail
First is blackmail, a thing that Gawker is not new to. Some believe that the "girl" who "killed herself" during the tumblr raids was related to one of the founders of Gawker. This, however is, again, questionable.
Regardless of this, in the leaked skype logs m00t says that he has been threatened to be doxed and hacked by a feminist group. This, again, seems doubtful since everyone already has his dox and no one has been able to hack 4chan yet so there is no reason a bunch of girls will be able to.
Additional threats from Cracked.com
The leaks also say that Cracked.com promised to run a smear article about him. And, although running smear campaigns is nothing new to cracked, smearing 4chan is like smearing shit on more shit.
This is either a lie, proof the logs are fake, or proof that m00t is now actually making failed attempts to change his image.
Bribe
Bribing is another thing Gawker has done in the past, like when they tried to bribe reddit to let them moderate groups they dislike and get rid of content they disapprove of (considering reddits recent faggotry it is possible some people actually accepted the offer).
Here there is evidance that exists outside the leaked logs. Various members of Gawker and other related groups have been seen interacting with m00t on twitter and calling him their close personal friend. Proof has also surfaced that they donated money to his new project and that it is not hard to believe they may be threatening him that they will pull support if he doesn't help them kill GamerGate.
Girlfriend
Being an ugly, balding nerd who is in deep debt over failed startups and a giant site that costs a fortune to operate but makes hardly any revenue, meeting girls is hard. Thankfully for m00t, while working on his previous online failure, he met butter-faced, feminist jew who works at Gawker and is willing to sleep with anyone for internet fame.
Yes, much like Zoe Quinn herself, his new girlfriend is no stranger to fucking her way to the "top" (sleeping with broke internet bigshots doesn't really count as "top") and was quick to jump on the dick of m00t soon after hopping off the dick of one of the founders of tumblr. This has a double advantage for her because, not only could she gain internet cred by whoring herself out to yet another website admin, she could also leverage sex with him for favor for Gawker's sake and thereby get ahead at work as well.
She is a belieber
Your hero m00t is fucking a Belieber
m00t and Co. actively dox and DDoS GamerGate supporters (and how it backfired)
One thing that lends the logs credibility is that, in them, m00t devises a plan to end GamerGate by doxing and threatening people who support it and then telling them he did it by getting their IP's off of 4chan. This seems like proof the logs are legit because that is exactly what happened.
A day or two after the leak a number of people on the GamerGate side were doxed. What m00t failed to take into account (being delusional from years of being an internet tough guy) is that no one cares.
Instead of quietly turning off their accounts and going AWOL, people just took screencaps of the PMs and Emails they got and posted them publicly, going: "Now who's the harasser?". Not only did this fail to achieve anything, it only lended credibility to the GamerGate side, who flaunted their e-threats like badges of honor and drew more attention to the tag.
The most hilarious part was that they also doxed Adam Baldwin and Milo Yiannopoulos, as if some internet nerds can somehow intimidate people with millions of dollars. They also tried to send Milo a syringe full of what appeaser to be cocain.
As if he would just immediately inject whatever is sent to him anonymously through the mail. Instead, he just took a picture of it and posted it online before calling the police. He was also tipped off as to the identity of the sender, so all fingers are crossed in hopes he told the party van and they will soon give m00t a visits.
Another failed attempt was to DDoS the Escapist thread about GamerGate. This was only successful for half a day before drawing more people and attention to it.

The Exodus to Hotwheels Chan
Realizing what a giant homo m00t has become, many intentionally got themselves banned from 4chan and moved to 8chan, quickly making it the second largest board online.
Unlike 4chan in recent years, on 8chan lulz have not yet been banned. Raids, dox, gore and all that good stuff 4chan used to be loved for is totally allowed. Anyone can make his own board so the moderators aren't the admins cronies and the site has many features m00t's faggot ass has been too lazy to add for years.
The plan is pretty much to leave 4chan and let m00t deal with trying to pay server fees once the money from ad revenue dries up.
