Gamergate Biopic Eyes Scarlett Johansson For Lead

Just taking an educated guess here but if you’re on this website, more than likely you know about Gamergate. If you don’t let me give you a brief little history lesson in the depravity and hopelessness of some gamers in this country. It’s hard to sum up how much of a clusterfuck this whole thing was so I found a the best description I could courtesy of wikipedia of all places:

“The Gamergate controversy began in August 2014. It concerns issues of sexism and progressivism in video game culture. It is most widely known for a harassment campaign against several women in the video game industry, including game developers Zoë Quinn and Brianna Wu, and cultural critic Anita Sarkeesian. Gamergate began when a former boyfriend of Quinn wrote a lengthy disparaging blog post about her, leading others to falsely accuse her of entering a relationship with a journalist in exchange for positive coverage. Those endorsing the blog post and spreading such accusations against Quinn organized themselves under the Twitter hashtag Gamergate, as well as on IRC channels and websites such as reddit, 4chan and 8chan. Harassment against Quinn and others was coordinated through these discussion forums, including doxing, threats of rape, and death threats. Many of those organizing under the Gamergate hashtag argue that they are campaigning against political correctness and poor journalistic ethics in the video game industry.”

That ladies and gentlemen, in a nutshell, is Gamergate. It came, it went, but did we actually learn anything from it. If you think the answer is no than lucky for you Hollywood’s gotten it’s hands on the story and plan on making a film about the controversial pheromone told from the point of view of Zoe Quinn and the actress they’re eyeing is none other than Scarlett Johansson. I think she’d be perfect for the role an that would definitely  make her the queen of all nerdom…as if she doesn’t hold that title already.
