I am a software engineer, a popular public speaker, and an expert in the Unreal engine.

We need to invest in telecommunication infrastructure with redundancies to combat denial of service attacks.

My dad is in Mississippi. He exited the Navy and made a ton of money as an entrepreneur.

With major films costing hundreds of millions of dollars to make, Hollywood is an industry that tends to repeat patterns when they make money.

For me, especially running for office, being on Twitter is a fundamental part of my job.

Something that's hard for me, I remember being a child in the '80s and looking at this field. It was a field I wanted very much to go into, but I didn't see people who looked like me working in video games. You can't really be it if you can't see it.

I love video games dearly.

It's not like I'm advocating that we ban 'Call of Duty' or anything silly like that, I'm asking is for companies to look at their hiring practices, to hire more women... and make sure they portray women in their games in a socially responsible way.

I love people that kind of have those life experiences that take them different places.

Unfortunately, I have the equivalent of 7 PhDs in harassment on Twitter. As one of the primary targets of Gamergate, I've had hundreds and hundreds of threats to my life on Twitter's platform.

It's sad when 'Grand Theft Auto' has more consequences for criminal behavior than real life.

In stopping Gamergate, the men who dominate it - not just women - must address the culture that created Gamergate.
