CyberPowerPC supported a harassment\griefer squad

Recently, a group called The Bully Hunters came out with a mission statement to harass and grief other online players if a woman complains to them she's being "harassed" online. ("Harassed" being mean words. It reeks of social justice white knighting.) CyberPowerPC sponsored this group to thought patrol and harass other online players if a woman's feelings are hurt online.

Their mission statement is based around biased\unsourced journal articles (not scientific reports) to say women get harassment every day, as if men don't and it's a bigger problem problem for women, which it isn't. (They link the same Guardian article at least 3 times.) https://bullyhunters.org/ [NOW SINCE DELETED.]

A number they pull out of their ass shows they're using a survey of less than 1,000 people from Twitter and Facebook to say "21 million women face online harassment every day" that was linked here. https://www.vg247.com/2012/09/08/study-80-of-gamers-believe-sexism-is-rampant-in-the-gaming-community/

Plenty of other things have come out since the event and shutdown, and a lot of outlets have pushed misinformation from a far-Left ideological perspective. Like propaganda rag Polygon praising Bully Hunters as an attack against "online harassers". https://www.polygon.com/2018/4/12/17229976/counter-strike-global-offensive-sexism-bully-hunters-valve

CyberPowerPC fully endorsed this group... at least until they pulled their sponsorship less than 24 hours later after a inaugural livestream of Bully Hunters on April 12, 2018.

CyberPowerPC have come out in response with their brand manager, Namanh Hoang, on their own livestream and sounded incredibly embarrassed and insecure about it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SklKjaqwAh4

To quote:

   “Technically, I’m the PR department in a sense. I don’t know too much about the details, I wasn’t in the meeting when this deal [was] enacted. [But] what we signed up for in our minds the way it was told to us, when they asked us for backing. It just ended up being something completely different the way they went about it.

   “What they told us was something completely different from what they executed. You understand? There’s not much we can say or do now, but that’s not what we were backing. That’s as much as I can say apparently […]”

   “[…] We were a little misled. […] We can’t really do much about it. We endorsed the group. It didn’t go the way that we thought it was going to go planned – we weren’t really informed enough, I guess. That may also be part of our fault as well. We think negatively on that kind of behavior… but yeah.”

There's more stuff for Bully Hunters with how much of a sham it was, like how the spokesperson for Bully Hunters was in Playboy and her nudes were deleted before the event ( https://archive.fo/EBlW8#selection-379.20-381.14 ), she called male gamers fa**ots on tweets and other livestreams ( https://twitter.com/StevenSuptic/status/522225093116583936?s=09 ), she's an obvious boobie streamer THOT ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wys67NBcCdc ), and their inaugural live stream pushed Social Justice\Feminist propaganda like "toxic masculinity" and perpetual female victimhood.

For more information, you can look up the dedicated thread on Kiwi Farms for the evidence. https://kiwifarms.net/threads/bully-hunters.41519/ (The evidence within can potentially be scrubbed since the sponsors, streamers, and journalists want people to forget this event.) Or the many many videos related to it on Youtube by gamers. Nobody should forget an event like this with such toxic and divisive people and that CPP sponsored it. I know Wikipedia won't accept Bully Hunters since is was internet drama that lasted all of a couple days, the Wikipedia admins are very pro-Feminist, and forum posts or YouTube videos don't count as proof under the guidelines, but at least here there is some record of it and how CPP was involved in the event. 73.120.86.200 (talk) 14:29, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I believe talk pages are meant for a discussion of objective facts important to the article, not for venting your feelings and suspicions about what you have already admitted is an irrelevant tempest in teapot. 2601:181:8380:9180:0:0:0:AFCC (talk) 20:47, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
