KiA Gets Cucked Again, As Alison Crime Scandal Sensationalizes GamerGate

I woke up this morning to the craziest fucking news I’ve heard this fall. Hell, it might be the craziest shit I’ve seen during my entire time in GamerGate, at least on our side. First, let me give you a little background. Over the last couple of days, a GamerGate supporter who goes by the name of Alison Prime put out a story saying their house burned down. That seemed to be verified by media reports, and as far as I know, it actually did happen. Although we have some fishy shit surrounding that as well, and I’ll tell you about it here in a minute.

Anyway, long story short, “Allison” was conning the GG community and is actually a man named Steven Polk. And guess what? KotakuInAction co-signed this fundraising shit right from the start, then sat on the damning information as it was coming out. Apparently they wanted to “notify Alison” first. Un-fucking-believable. While Polk was out collecting more dollars (over $9000, at the moment), KiA was sitting on the information that could have exposed him to the biggest GG community on the internet. Great job, mods.

Here’s some relevant screenshots…

Oh, and here’s Mr. Polk, in case you were wondering what the scamming motherfucker looks like…rVslqRi rx23BSK

The whole thing is just nuts. As my friend and LIVE show compatriot Matt Conway said this morning, “The ride never ends.” No, it truly does not fucking end. NOt only that, this person was allegedly into some kind of hermaphrodite fetish. Now that they scammed everyone, let’s just do a good old fashioned info dump. 144670871618114467088980271446710296181

OK, so a house was burned down, but who setup the fundraiser? It was apparently a friend of the family and not Steven Polk himself, but there’s more questions coming up on that in a moment. First, here’s an email from the reporter who wrote the above news story that confirms this bit of info (h/t @redstarwarrior)…

By the way, big shoutout to all the people over at /ggrevolt/ who kept digging on this Alison Crime bullshit. So many people came to me saying that they were out of line, talking about “Alison’s” ex-boyfriend being violent, all kinds of excuses not to dig. They kinda had me sympathizing with this fat con man, but I’m glad some people had the killer instinct on this one. It’s funny, because I saw Polk post a pic of “Alison” supposedly doing cosplay, and I knew it wasn’t the same person, but I didn’t put two and two together. I just thought the bitch was stealing someone else’s cosplay photos. Needless to say, I’m kicking myself. Not only that, you know most of these thirsty ass motherfuckers would have refused to believe anything, regardless of what was found. There’s people who refuse to believe that “Alison” was a scam even now. 1446724248178

Lol, if you’ll notice, the cosplayer she stole from has come forward this morning. People who have donated aren’t pleased either…

The person isn’t black, to my knowledge. Leave it to Jennifer Medina, a noted idiot, to be wrong again. Go suck on Randi Harper’s ass and leave the real work to people with half a brain. Anyway, I’ll be updating this story throughout the day, and will be doing a LIVE show on it in just a few minutes. To me, this person is coming dangerously close to criminal activity, and I hope the authorities are now looking into things. They lied about the FBI not that long ago, by the way. Add that to the pile of lies.

Oh yes, before I forget, there’s one curious thing about the fire and fundraiser I left out. The “family friend” who supposedly started it also did their own fundraiser for a house fire earlier this year. I don’t know about you guys, but that’s a lot of fucking fires to be happening in the neighborhood. The shit isn’t usually that common. I’ll leave you with that food for thought, as well as the stream link to the LIVE show. Also, KiA has a sticky thread now, and the mods are desperately trying to cover their asses. Better late than never, I suppose.

    When cockholes like Tim Schafer, morally depraved lunatics like Randi Harper, and money-obsessed professional victims like Zoe Quinn and Anita Sarkeesian claimed GamerGate was a group of white conservative misogynist males, our ranks came forward and outed themselves as minorities, women, and the marginalized.

    Stephen Polk, I address this to you should you visit this article:

    You are a piece of shit and that is the nicest thing that can be said right now. I believe you likely burned your own house down for attention, but that’ll be for others to investigate. What you did this past year by throwing your name in with GamerGate was selfish and irresponsible to a movement of diverse minds, genders, and races.

    The conviction you espoused in the #notyourshield tag was fabricated and empty and it can now be used to marginalize and deny the identities of hundreds of people who took the stance to come forward, show their faces, and expose themselves to a landscape of dog piling reactionary bullies. You ranted in the tag without a thousandth of the bravery of these people and in turn jeopardized everything they did. And for what? Attention? Crazy ass starved for attention because your mom and dad were too busy splitting it with their own 19 Kids and Counting cast?!

    I don’t believe I’m alone in saying I’d rather you were outed as a racist sovereign citizen hardline right-wing woman named Alison than what you really are because at least your true reality wouldn’t shit on the lives and efforts of thousands of others in a necessary movement.

    Shame on you, Stephen Polk. Fucking shame…

    • Noige

      Are people outraged that a person is biologically male, or that they only gave money to facilitate the fantasy that they might get pussy in exchange for a donation, like the degenerate permavirgins they are?

      Alison is biologically male, but… convinced he’s a woman? Some kind of cross-dresser or whatever? How many such people has GamerGate had in it’s ranks? I’m not sure I get why that’s so shocking, especially to the SJWs who want to peddle it as a fraud. I thought how someone identifies is what determines their gender, because gender is “socially constructed”. If Alison identified as female, and passed as female, isn’t she female — especially in the eys of the SJWs — and why is this not being thrown right back in the faces of the TERFs in anti-GG who can’t accept it?

      So, the “fraud” being that someone used their “gender” to get donations
      they otherwise wouldn’t have gotten had they been male — but their
      house probably burned down in either case? The kickstarter is for the
      house, not the gender, right? Or is everyone admitting to being such a
      pathetic white knight that the money was given in the hopes of getting
      pussy?

      • Ryan Arko

        I feel we’ve been painting our points well enough that speculation like this shouldn’t matter.

        No. Nobody gives a shit that he is a he. They give a shit that he pretended to be a she to gain a high road in online arguments and that he lied about his gender under a tag that was about showing GG wasn’t a bunch of white overweight men bitching at women. He turned out to he a white overweight man bitching at women.

        We’re mad that someone weaved their way into GG and gave both the media and opponents credible ammo to use against GG.

        We’re mad that this piece of trash used GG to scam people emotionally and financially.

        This isn’t a petty issue. The guy fucked up really badly and ran to a pedophile for help instead of apologizing.

        I don’t understand why you’re trying to marginalize the valid points of anger by accusing people of being outraged over trivial matters that play no part in this.

  • https://pt.gravatar.com/debdc Deb

    Sarkeesian would be proud.

  • Dr Dub

    It’s weird but revealing in many ways.

    The scam worked specifically because contrary to what Sarkeesian says, men have a problem of being too willing to listen and believe women. Even rationalists are prone to white knightitis it seems.

    It raises questions about the trans issue too. If this person suddenly comes out now and says “actually I am trans, I was too embarrassed to admit it before”, how would both the GG and anti-gamer groups react to that individual?

    At the end of the day, it is my personal belief that men are tempted to masquerade as women because of the advantages and privileges that go with it. Far from being oppressed, silenced and down trodden and again contrary to what Anita says, people are more likely to value something if a woman says it and offer far more assistance.

    I like millions of other men have masqueraded as women in MMO’s because you get treated like royalty in comparison to being male.

    That can be addictive and it is tempting to carry that persona around with you elsewhere. I guess this guy found the temptation and the rewards too great to resist.

    • SiliconNooB

      Even rationalists are prone to white knightitis it seems.

      This is KiA we’re talking about…

    • Toastrider

      Well, it’s not JUST that, Doc.

      Charity is the sort of thing that calls to many people. Sometimes it’s as simple as giving a homeless person a hot meal, or dropping some cash in the Salvation Army bucket on your way in or out of the store. I think a lot of us, faced with someone in need, want to help (even when we might not be able to).

      Sadly, this is the sort of thing scammers glom onto, and it enrages me. There are people out there who put out the tin cup not because they want to, but because they need the help. And every penny a scam artist vacuums up is one that didn’t go to someone who had some bad luck, or is trying to turn things around.

      We’re not perfect, and we’re not angels. But I’d like to think we can fan the embers of good in us into a cozy flame now and then.

    • SonofaGlitch

      The fact that trans “women” exist, and that they outnumber trans “men” (by such a wide margin it’s ridiculous) is the largest proof there is that there is no patriarchy, and women are the advantaged sex in society.

  • Motherfucking Deadpool!

    But didn’t the leftards tell us that only straight white men are able to lie and scam others? Aren’t people of color holier than thou?

    • d0x360

      Sorry rightard it wasn’t a person of color. When you make stupid posts and act like a jackass every day I’m sure you lose track of the racism you spew forth so I marked this one for you.

      Grow up.

  • SiliconNooB

    KotakuInAction co-signed this fundraising shit right from the start,
    then sat on the damning information as it was coming out. Apparently
    they wanted to “notify Alison” first. Un-fucking-believable.

    Of course they bloody did – KiA are SJWs.

    • Elilla Shadowheart

      Does that make GGHR the nazi’s, GGR, stalin and TRR Mao? Just curious, I want to make sure I’ve got all my crazy stuff lined up.

  • REO Speed Weed

    >The mods on KiA were sitting on this information.
    >”Not related to Ethics” despite KiA shilling the shit out of the campaign.
    >GGRevolt went full mole mode, digging like crazy.

    Wow. For the past 4 or 5 months, I’ve had this niggling feeling that there were some sleazy motherfuckers on the KiA mod team, and that they need to be weeded out.

    It pains me to say this, but GGRevolt is pretty God damn based sometimes. KiA shouldn’t be the central gathering place of GamerGate. Too many liars and SJWs in charge of it and too high of potential to be co-opted.

    • Cheri

      Ggrevolt is what’s left of the core of gamergate. Just look at the reactions to this. KiA went full on listen and believe and tore down threads and objections. Went out of their way to blanket labels the diggers as harassers and doxers with a definition of doxing loose enough to fit ghazi. Ggr went ahead and dug into the whole conundrum, no listen and believe and donate blindly to an alleged victim.

      • REO Speed Weed

        For being the largest subset of a group of people whose entire modus operandi is “trust but verify”, KiA isn’t doing a whole lot of verification.

        If someone in GamerGate lies to everyone else, the LAST thing you want to do is try to play damage control in “her” favour, especially with GGRevolt watching you like a satellite. Instead of defending “Alison”, wring “her” dry.

        Fortunately, everyone from the Gel circle to GGRevolt to the Ralph circle has been lambasting the shit out of “Alison” today. It only seems to be KiA playing damage control.

        And it’s all thanks to GGRevolt digging around like the awesome motherfuckers they are. Good job and godspeed, you crazy bastards.

  • King of Zeroes

    Ha ha. Dropped $150 on this to help out a family in need.

  • Beatnik Revolution

    The mods of KiA are just following in the footsteps of Hat, a well known SJW apologist who was playing the long con. Just look at this bleeding heart bullshit. “Oh we know he is a complete liar but lets not call that fact out to the rest of the community because it might hurt his feelings WHILE he is conning for pity bucks.”

    The mods at KiA have been trying to under-cut and nuder GG since it started with their SJW lite bullshit

  • MrSonicAdvance

    Damselling works, because contrary to the feminist narrative, most guys can’t stop themselves helping a woman in need. Happy to say the last money I donated went to the Honey Badger’s Legal fund, which was well-document and a good cause.

    • Sheba

      Last time I gave money was for Matt Taylor. On the ongoing topic, to say I am a little annoyed is an understatement.

      • Alseid

        That’s the big problem, the breach of trust. I’ve seen a lot of bullshit going around about how we’re hypocrites for caring about the identity politics angle of this thing, how we wouldn’t donate if we knew it was a man, the message before the messenger, and so on.

        It’s about someone who we trusted and vouched for misrepresenting the facts, and making us lie unbeknownst to us. Just like KoP with the Denton thing. Just like Steve Sawyer with the “assaulted and thrown out of apartment by SJWs” thing.

        We can’t buy the message of truth if the messenger is a liar.

        Anyway, I’m broke as all hell so I wouldn’t have donated either way.

      • MrSonicAdvance

        It’s better to be deceived by your friends than to mistrust them. Once they deceive you, it’s always an option to ditch them.

  • D-Bone

    Man, this house is only 18 miles from house. Kinda creepy when these type of people are in such close proximity.

  • DRouwnt

    What does the fetish thing add to the story besides character assassination? This was already handled really badly by everyone involved, now you need to include bullshit that is unrelevant just to slander a person?
    I would call that unethical Ralph.

    • Throwingrocks

      Have to agree with this. The situation is bad enough without that being tossed in – and like you say, it’s pretty much irrelevant.

  • Cheri

    KiA was bitching and having a moral panic attack about us “doxxing” m’lady. This was very satisfying. Suck it, faggots.

  • Italy GG

    >operating off identity politics
    >endorsing collective guilt
    >justifying frauds
    Can anyone confirm that the 2014 GG I joined was against all the above, and not promoting them?
    Just in case I lived in an alternate reality without knowing.
    Seriously though, do some introspection everyone. Sweeping it all under the rug to not look bad isn’t a great solution in the long run.

    • Maintenance Renegade

      2014 GG and 2015 GG are totally different beats. That’s why I joined the first one and I usually disown and mock the other.

  • DukeMagus

    And now all the antis will use this to say any woman in gg is a sockpuppet account controlled by a man.

    We’re fucked.

  • ThePete

    I had a suspicion about Allison, I remember thinking those photos shown in this story looked like different people. The commitment to the persona probably made me over look it.

    Also the whole trophy obsessed gamer, didn’t really fit with the rest of the persona.

    I’m mostly annoyed at the way they used #gamergate. Its one thing to be anon and another to be a complete fraud. Glad I let the dust settle on the gofundme before donating. Don’t think I will now.

  • d0x360

    Kia has been in steep decline for months. The user base has become mostly idiots who can’t take or understand a joke and act like the people they claim to stand against. They also react in direct opposition to logic hell even an hour ago a story made the top posts list…what was it? A story about defending a bigot and kia are the ones defending.

    As for this alisonprime crap… Stop giving people on the internet your full trust and Jesus Christ stop giving them your money. If their story is legit the town and the people in it will take care of one of their own, its not our jobs to give everyone with a sad story money

  • Spider Jerusalem

    Bring back tits or gtfo I guess.

    • Throwingrocks

      “Allison_Prime” did show “her” tits, though. Multiple times – it was just amateur porn and glamour shots he found on the web and used to portray his character of “Allison Prime”.

      • Spider Jerusalem

        It’s clearly been so long that people have forgot Tits or GTFO included proper timestamps.

  • Throwingrocks

    Biggest problem I have with this whole situation – apart from the lying about being a woman – is calling it a “scam”. With the assumption that his house DID burn down, and there are MULTIPLE people who are now in dire need of short-term assistance, I’d say this qualifies as an actual time of need. Gone about in a very, very wrong way, but it’s not like Polk is saying “She” has breast cancer and needs money for treatment or the like, which would be far more of a scam.

    That said, it looks more and more like the situation is someone needing help to deal with the grief of losing a father, finding a very unhealthy way to deal with that grief, and then losing themselves in that unhealthy habit. (In some ways like Rachel Dolezal.) It’s unfortunate that something as drastic as a house burning down is what it took to jolt them out of this unhealthy situation, and I’m rather annoyed that I followed “her” on Twitter taking what she posted at face value (to a degree; being anonymous, I don’t expect anyone to take me at face value, and “Allison Prime” certainly came across as being somewhat anonymous.) instead of being skeptical.

    So I’m not going to dogpile on him. I’m annoyed and disappointed (more in myself than in Polk, truthfully), but as far as I can tell what Polk has done is nowhere near bad enough to justify the shit he’s getting online, the abuse thrown at him and the hate. This is the double-edged sword of twitter – it lends itself to these sorts of actions, where a few people who may have more justification for being upset (like those who flirted with Polk, thinking they were flirting with an actual big-boobed openly sexual lesbian woman) and lots of other people being moderately annoyed (“You’ve set back #GamerGate by giving a concrete example of an actual sockpuppet in #GamerGate! Damn you!”) and people like me (and I would imagine, most of the posters here on this thread and most of the people in the #AllisonCrime tag) who don’t really have justification for yelling at Polk, but who will anyway.

    That’s an aspect of Social Justice that many of us despise, and I’m not willing to use it in this case.

This is a huge blow to us. That being said. Just turn your back on him like I have. Now lets get back to focusing on real targets.

  • Burn Ender

    This is one big reason why I’m not very active in #gamergate anymore. I see people using the #gamergate community drop gofundme’s that have zero to do with fighting the corrupt establishment in gaming media. Why didn’t the polks have insurance? It is kinda important in case shit like this happens and your home or apartment catches on fire or floods.

    I also remember Alison Prime from my MMO Champion days, he posted there A LOT. I almost wonder what other shady shit Steven Polk was involved in. This is also why I don’t trust nor give to fundraisers, period,

    All this has done is give ammo to those who subscribe to the idea that #Gamergate is full of “sockpuppets.” I will be surprised if this isn’t used in a coordinated smear campaign by corrupt journalists in the coming days.

      Why should we apologise? We’re all here crucifying him/her for this already you dingbat!

    GG should never have been about donations anyway.

    If people want to support someone, then let them produce something. You can buy their T-Shirt, go to their website, buy their game . . . whatever.
