The Nyberg #GamerGate Saga Continues: DARVO Tactics and the ‘Streisand Effect’
Posted on | September 15, 2015 | 26 Comments
Friday, Milo Yiannopoulos published a lengthy examination of Sarah Nyberg’s pedophile-themed online chats. These conversations, which occurred circa 2005-2006, involved Nyberg (a male-to-female transsexual) expressing sexual attraction to his/”her” young female relative. At the time, Nyberg was earning a lucrative income as proprietor of a forum devoted to discussion of a videogame called “Final Fantasy.” In 2014, however, Nyberg became an outspoken critic of the #GamerGate movement:
[Nyberg] tried to shut down funding for the website 8chan.net, which had supported #GamerGate, by falsely accusing them of hosting child pornography. However, he/she failed to anticipate the reaction, i.e., that the people he/she had attacked would figure out who he/she actually was, connect the dots, and expose [Nyberg’s] unsavory background. . . .
He/she had attempted to deprive the proprietors of 8chan.net of their right to free speech and had falsely accused them of a very serious crime in an attempt to cut off their funding or otherwise drive their site offline. . . .
It was this anti-free-speech campaign, part of a “Social Justice Warrior” (SJW) battle against #GamerGate, which (a) made “Sarah Butts” a public figure, and (b) inspired the question, “Who is ‘Sarah Butts’?”
You can read the rest of that Aug. 8 post from my blog, which was explaining why my Twitter account had been temporarily suspended. It was apparent that Twitter support staff were assisting Nyberg in an attempt to suppress certain facts about Nyberg’s past, including his/”her” original name. Why? Well, at one point in the chat log discussions, Nyberg indicates that police had seized one of his/”her” computers, and Nyberg referred to an encrypted hard drive containing material related to Nyberg’s pedophile interests. We might speculate that, if the police who reportedly investigated Nyberg in 2005 only knew Nybergs male name, then concealing that name could prevent law enforcement from connecting all the dots. In this scenario, it would not be merely Nyberg’s reputation as a “Social Justice Warrior” that was at stake in concealing his/”her” male identity, but also this concealment would shield Nyberg from renewed law-enforcement scrutiny.
Or so we might speculate.
Beyond mere speculation, however, was the reality that people were being silenced for writing about Nyberg’s shady past, and Nyberg was using an obvious trick to posture as a victim of injustice:
It appears Ms. Nyberg is leveraging friendships with Twitter support personnel in order to delete any mention of Ms. Nyberg’s male past and male name. You will call Ms. Nyberg “Sarah” on Twitter or else you will be shut down. . . .
DARVO — Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender — it’s a rather well-documented tactic, and when I see people (a) with sexual idiosyncracies (b) allying themselves with a “social justice” movement and (c) claiming that people who tell the truth about them are “bullies,” my suspicion is (d) they’re just angry their shady hustle got busted and (e) they’re trying to exploit sympathy by (f) posing as a victim.
You can read the rest of that, which was posted after my Twitter account was suspended for the second time within three days. At that time I warned that this would likely lead to a “Streisand Effect,” wherein efforts to hide online information have the opposite effect, calling new attention to whatever information a person is trying to conceal. This warning proved prophetic. People began looking closely at what Nyberg wanted to suppress and, barely three weeks later on Aug. 30, a YouTube video presented the most damaging evidence against Nyberg. This video, in turn, caused Milo Yiannopoulos to write his article about Nyberg at Breitbart.com, an article for which Yiannopoulos interviewed the parents of the girl who was reportedly the object of Nyberg’s pedophiliac interest a decade ago. According to Yiannopoulos, the parents were willing to seek a new law enforcement investigation of Nyberg who, just coincidentally, is also reported to owe $100,000 in delinquent taxes.
It is not wild-eyed speculation, but ordinary common sense, to say that someone who acts like they’re trying to hide something may actually have something to hide. And in response to Yiannopoulos’s article, Nyberg published a genuinely fascinating counter-attack that elaborately manifests the DARVO tactics I’ve described. Whereas some of Nyberg’s defenders had previously claimed the chat logs were forgeries, Nyberg instead (a) admits the chat logs were authentic, but claims (b) that these chats were a sort of facetious or ironic satire and (c) implies the chat log transcripts were obtained illegally, so that (d) it is Nyberg’s critics who, by illegally obtaining information, were the real criminals.
No matter what the facts are, an SJW is always prepared to play the martyred victim.

This is a classic example of DARVO tactics. Nyberg uses all kinds of rationalization and smokescreening to explain away the known facts, to delegitimize critical scrutiny, diverting attention away from the obvious questions about Nyberg’s behavior, toward those who have exposed Nyberg, portraying them as wrongdoers.
How will this story end? I don’t know. Perhaps it’s all a bunch of noise about nothing and, if that’s the case, interest in Nyberg may just slowly fade away. On the other hand, we have the example of a notorious troll known online as “Nick Bate” who claimed on April 19 to have been exonerated by a criminal investigation, only to be arrested a week later:
Nickalaus B. Stoutzenberger, 23, was charged Wednesday [i.e., April 26] with one count of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse with a child, and three counts of indecent assault of a child.
The alleged sex assaults occurred in Washington Boro in 2009 to 2010 when the female victim was between 5 and 7 years old, according to Manor Township police.
Stoutzenberger was arraigned before District Judge Joshua Keller, and sent to Lancaster County Prison in lieu of $150,000 bail.
Sometimes bad things happen to people like that.

Someone Told Me The Idea That Life Starts When One’s Information Is Complete Is “Mythology”
Posted on | September 15, 2015 | 5 Comments
by Smitty
The Devil’s mythology believed:
“Life starts *after* one’s conceived”
By a mystic moment received
At some judge’s behest.
It’s true there is no “standing” room
When one’s gestating in the womb
But is that space just so much tomb
Based on a legal test?
For those with the hardened hearts
Conception hunting season starts
Selling offspring for the parts
In our “enlightened” West?
God have mercy on these souls
Blighted by the murder’s tolls
As on to Hell a holocaust rolls
While they make it a jest.
Let the conscience be the guide
Before man’s essence goes inside
Adding to humanity’s tide
The truth remains the best.
What Happened at Delta State?
Posted on | September 14, 2015 | 24 Comments
Shannon Lamb, 45, had recently completed his doctorate degree at Delta State University in Cleveland, Mississppi, where he also taught online courses. Monday, according to police, Lamb murdered his live-in girlfriend, Amy Prentiss, 41, at the home they shared in Gautier, Mississippi, then drove 300 miles to the Delta State campus, where he murdered history professor Ethan Schmidt.
Police have not publicly said what the motive was, but a friend of Prentiss shared a private Facebook message she had sent, saying that Lamb had “issues.” What issues did he have? I don’t know, but you have to wonder why a guy in his mid-40s would be pursuing a doctorate.
Lamb has worked at the university for seven years, according to his online profile at the school. He is a 2003 graduate of Delta State University, and earned a Masters of Education in 2007 and a Doctor of Education degree at DSU in 2014.
His listed areas of expertise include geography of crime, economic geography, social science education and testing.
Before teaching in college, Lamb was a high school math teacher at Murrah High School in Jackson, Mississippi and Greenville-Weston High School in Greenville, Mississippi,
Wait a minute: He was 45 but only got his bachelors degree in 2003? His doctorate was in education, but he was teaching geography? He is a former high-school math teacher? This is not your typical academic resumé. Whatever the story behind Lamb’s motive, I’m gonna guess it will turn out to be pretty weird.
UPDATE: The New York Times reports:
A professor at Delta State University who was suspected of fatally shooting his companion and then another professor at the school was found dead Monday night, apparently with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The suspect, Shannon S. Lamb, who taught geography and social science education at the university, was pulled over around 10:30 p.m. by the local police in Greenville, Miss., about 35 miles to the west of the campus in Cleveland, Miss., the university’s police chief, Lynn Buford, said in a phone interview early Tuesday.
According to Chief Buford, Dr. Lamb ran into a wooded area. The local police followed him and, while waiting for backup, heard a gunshot. They found Dr. Lamb, who was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead.
This was perhaps predictable, and Lamb’s suicide means we may never know the full story behind his crimes.

Did a Democrat Candidate Harass a Democrat Woman in Toledo?
Posted on | September 13, 2015 | 38 Comments
This is a genuinely strange story:
A woman has gone to Facebook to accuse former Mayor Mike Bell of inappropriately touching her at a Toledo bar Friday night, allegations Mr. Bell denies.
Allison Dow, 29, of Toledo’s Old West End, said Mr. Bell made an unwelcome sexual comment and touched her buttocks late Friday at Wesley’s Bar & Grill on Adams Street in downtown Toledo.
Ms. Dow put her outraged reaction on Facebook, calling Mr. Bell, 60, “a perverted old man.”
Mr. Bell, who is running for mayor again, on Tuesday denied the allegations, suggesting a political motive.
Ms. Dow is a former office manager for the Lucas County Democratic Party, which has endorsed Paula Hicks-Hudson for the job Mr. Bell is seeking.
“I was standing at the bar ordering a drink and someone came up behind me and put his hand on my lower back and whispers, ‘If you stand up on your tiptoes in that dress, me and my friends will pass out,’ and he lowered his hand to my butt,” Ms. Dow told The Blade Tuesday.
“He pulled that same move with several other people at that bar,” she said.
You can read the whole thing. Apparently, nobody believes Ms. Dow is a victim of anything. Ms. Bell is a bachelor with something of a reputation as a ladies’ man, and Ms. Dow . . .
Well, as an undergraduate at the University of Toledo, Ms. Dow was active in “Spectrum,” a gay student organization.
So, a Democrat guy in a bar allegedly makes a pass at a Democrat girl who just isn’t into Democrat guys. Or any other guys.
Not much of a scandal, really. Mr. Bell denies everything, but even if it were true, so what? Is it against the law in Toledo for guys in bars to behave the way guys behave in bars? Is this an issue in the Toledo mayoral campaign?
Put it this way: If it’s a career-destroying scandal for a Democrat to make “an unwelcome sexual comment” to a woman, maybe we should discuss the career of Hillary Clinton’s husband.

Objectified by the Male Gaze
UPDATE: Allegedly Heterosexual?
Posted on | September 12, 2015 | 114 Comments
By now, the entire Internet knows Charlotte Proudman (@CRProudman) hates heterosexual men:
I find your message offensive. I am on [LinkedIn] for business purposes not to be approached about my physical appearance or to be objectified by sexist men. The eroticisation of women’s physical appearance is a way of exercising power over women. It silences women’s professional attributes as their physical appearance becomes the subject.
Unacceptable and misogynistic behaviour. Think twice before sending another woman (half your age) such a sexist message.
Such was Ms. Proudman’s now-notorious reply to the unfortunate Alexander Carter-Silk, 57, who had made the mistake of telling the 27-year-old radical feminist lawyer that her LinkedIn profile photo was “stunning.” Before analyzing Ms. Proudman’s discourse about “exercising power over women,” let’s clear up the obvious question: Did the married middle-aged Mr. Carter-Silk intend his message as more than casual flattery? Was he hoping to get busy with her?
Ace of Spades concludes that he was, but that his compliment was “a pretty soft gesture of interest.” Alternative hypothesis: Mr. Carter-Silk is simply not used to encountering “stunning” young women in his queue of LinkedIn communications and, without really intending to “hit on” Ms. Proudman, found himself unable to resist the temptation to comment on her looks. This is admittedly a devil’s advocate defense, the most feasible explanation of Mr. Carter-Silk’s message as an innocent blunder — a careless lapse of decorum. It is bad manners and always in poor taste for a man to comment on the appearance of a woman with whom he is not properly acquainted. Such forward behavior is, of course, all too common in a society that has almost entirely abandoned traditional customs of courtesy, but who am I to complain of that? It’s not as if I’m a consistent model of polite behavior myself, and therefore it would be hypocritical for me to criticize Mr. Carter-Silk merely for being rude.
On the other hand, maybe Mr. Carter-Silk is a lecherous old goat who was guilty as charged, using LinkedIn as a means of pursuing adulterous liaisons, so that his praise for Ms. Proudman’s profile photo was an attempt to “score.” In that case, for reasons I’ve explained elsewhere (“Don’t Do This, Ever”), Mr. Carter-Silk is a damned fool. Using digital communication (texts, emails, social media) to pursue sexual relationships is always a mistake. Whatever the specific medium — including online dating apps (“Hit It or Quit It on Tinder”) — the participant in online romantic pursuit is creating a record of digital evidence that can have devastating consequences. The recipient of your email or other digital communication could forward it to others or, as Mr. Carter-Silk learned to his eternal regret, your private message can be published for the whole world to see. Therefore, as I have lectured my teenagers, don’t do this, ever. Never say anything in a private digital communication that you would not want to see on the front page of the New York Times. The downside risk is enormous, and people have actually committed suicide after their online misbehavior was revealed.
Well, then, what about Ms. Proudman’s feminist lecture about the “eroticisation of women’s physical appearance”? Is it really true, as she insists, that complimenting a woman on her appearance “is a way of exercising power over women,” so that all such compliments are inherently “offensive,” “sexist” and “misogynistic”? Daily Mail columnist Sarah Vine mocked that idea as absurd:
If that is what counts as ‘objectification’ and ‘misogyny’ these days, then the human race is in deep trouble. Not only does it beggar belief that Ms Proudman could have inferred any slight from such an innocuous missive, it also makes me fear for the next generation of women.
After all, heaven help the poor man who actually tries to ask her out on a date, let alone try to get her into his bed. He’d have better luck propositioning a porcupine.
This hits the nail on the head, and Sarah Vine further assert that “most normal women . . . would be delighted” to have a man praise their online profile photos, as “compliments are few and far between these days,” which is to say:
- Radical feminists are not “normal women”;
and - Many women don’t know how to deal with compliments because men “these days” are afraid to compliment women, as men may be accused of sexual harassment for doing so.
Feminists have deliberately created a climate of fear in schools, universities and workplaces, where any male who dares so much as speak to a woman is at risk of devastating accusations that he has “harassed” her. Even if he has done nothing that could plausibly be viewed as “hitting on” her, the male who says or does anything that a woman finds “unwelcome” or “offensive” could be charged with fostering discriminatory conditions. This involves what is known as the “hostile environment” theory of sexual harassment, which views any expression of male heterosexuality as a potential source of discrimination against women. Daphne Patai astutely examined this phenomenon in her 1998 book Heterophobia: Sexual Harassment and the Future of Feminism, which I highly recommend. A former Women’s Studies professor (co-author of Professing Feminism, which I also recommend), Dr. Patai called attention to how feminist discourse about “harassment” expressed a hostility toward normal male behavior, based in radical theories that interpret heterosexuality per se as oppressive to women.
This anti-male attitude — “Fear and Loathing of the Penis” — is pervasive within the academic institutions of the Feminist-Industrial Complex. In American universities, Women’s Studies programs and other forms of feminist advocacy are protected from critical scrutiny by Title X legislation, which has been interpreted in such a way that criticizing feminism can itself be considered evidence of discriminatory intent. Women’s Studies professors and other feminist activists on university campuses are effectively exempt from opposition or criticism, and thus are free to promote outright hatred of males without anyone being able to condemn them for it. The 21st-century campus is overtly hostile to males, a hostility evident in the fact that males are now a minority (43%) of college students. Universities now punish males on the basis of mere suspicion of “sexual misconduct,” defined so broadly as to include every possible expression of male heterosexuality. Ordinary flirtation is rapidly becoming a lost art because it is strongly discouraged, if not altogether prohibited, by these policies.
It is perfectly understandable that a young law school graduate like Charlotte Proudman finds it “offensive” to be complimented on her looks. All such compliments are streng verboten in modern academia. No college-educated young man would dare tell a woman she is “stunning” for fear of the kind of vindictive retaliation Ms. Proudman displayed. When feminists talk about “empowering” women, this is exactly the kind of power they have in mind — the power of women to inflict savage humiliation on men.
Because feminism is inspired by sadistic revenge fantasies, Ms. Proudman’s public scolding of Mr. Carter-Silk was greeted with enthusiastic applause by young feminists, who dream of the opportunity to crush and embarrass men in such a manner. Any young man who attempts to flirt with a woman now risks the destruction of his reputation and career, and depriving men of professional employment opportunities is what feminist “empowerment” is ultimately about.
On a related note, I suspect that if the male lawyer looked like George Clooney, Ms. Proudman wouldn’t be complaining. But you’re not supposed to say that, are you.
Unfortunately, this suggestion presumes Charlotte Proudman is heterosexual, a presumption for which we have no evidence at all. In fact — if you will re-read what Ms. Proudman wrote — her denunciation of “sexist men . . . exercising power over women” does not even permit us to imagine the possibility that any expression of male admiration would be acceptable to her. We may interpret Ms. Proudman’s discourse as saying that all men who are attracted to women are misogynists, because male heterosexuality requires the “eroticisation of women’s physical appearance,” which is “offensive” to her. Ms. Proudman expanded on this hostile theme in a subsequent Twitter harangue:
To call a woman “stunning” is, according to Ms. Proudman, “demeaning behavior,” “gender control” and “social violence.” Does this strike you as something a heterosexual woman would say?
It is one thing to say a man’s unsolicited compliment to a woman is inappropriate, but accusing him of “social violence”? This kind of rhetorical overkill is an expression of radical feminism, which condemns heterosexual intercourse as “the pure, sterile, formal expression of men’s contempt for women” (Andrea Dworkin), claiming “women have to be coerced into heterosexuality” (Marilyn Frye), because men “control women through heterosexuality” (Joyce Trebilcot) in order to “encourage women’s subservience” (Susan Shaw and Janet Lee).
Hatred of males defines feminism to such an extent that it could be considered an insult to accuse a feminist of heterosexuality. A woman who calls herself a feminist is more likely to agree with Julie Bindel that all men should be put in “some kind of camp.” Certainly, no one should be surprised that Charlotte Proudman celebrated International Women’s Day in March by posting a photo with the caption: “Fantastic evening with so many amazing women speaking about radical feminism.”
In case anyone was under the mistaken impression that feminism simply means equality, Charlotte Proudman wrote a entire column in February explaining why you’re wrong:
I am a feminist and I do not strive for equality. I support liberation. . . . Equality takes the male status quo as the standard to which women aspire. . . .
It is impossible to alter male spheres, which are resistant to outside interference, because women are a minority that could be cut out at anytime, and men have vested interests in preserving the status quo.
The Equality Act 2010 . . . was designed to give the false impression that women’s subjugation had been legally acknowledged. . . .
The equalist debate is one way of preserving patriarchy, whereas feminism seeks to give power to women on their own terms — not mens. This is why I am a feminist, not an equalist. . . .
Men hold the balance of power. Power is granted in the wrong ways, and used for the wrong ends. Change can come about by redefining and redistributing power, breaking down hierarchal structures, and reevaluating the criteria designed by men.
You see? Equality is bad, because it “takes the male status quo as the standard” and equality does not “give power to women on their own terms.” Feminism is about “redefining and redistributing power” and ending “women’s subjugation.” If you think feminists give a damn what men think about anything, you have made a stunning mistake.
Dear Every Woman on Twitter:
Your avatar photo is STUNNING!
Congratulations, you're now a victim of sexism.

UPDATE: Ms. Proudman has been quoted thus:
Somehow I overlooked that quote earlier — Ms. Proudman using the male pronoun to refer to her “partner” — which is evidence that she might actually be heterosexual. If true, this would raise the questions, “Why?” and “How?”
That is to say, if Ms. Proudman is filled with such generalized rage toward “women’s subjugation” within the “male status quo,” why would she be fraternizing with the enemy? And how would such a bundle of fiery anti-male anger attract a boyfriend, or reconcile her politics with the enactment of her, uh, “subjugation”? Stipulate that, during my depraved youth — I was a Democrat then, remember — some of my girlfriends must have been feminists, e.g., the Cranston delegate. Thankfully, however, we didn’t have the Internet in 1984, so women didn’t have a global platform to spew their beliefs to the world, and therefore if there were any contradictions between a woman’s personal preferences and her political theory, nobody knew it.
Hypothetically, a guy might be dating the kind of liberal woman who was on the Democrat primary ballot as a delegate for the Alan Cranston 1984 presidential campaign, and if she also liked to do it doggy style — well, who knew?
Yet we are not here to indulge in hypothetical speculation, and as a respectable conservative Republican, I condemn the very idea of young Democrats engaging in carnal knowledge. My point is that the Internet has narrowed the gap between the personal and the political, which makes me wonder how any young man could keep from laughing out loud while he’s hooking up with a feminist like Charlotte Proudman.
I’d bet £10 she likes it doggy style, too.
