Minecraft Creator Tells Women on Twitter ‘Act Like a Cunt, Get Called a Cunt’
Markus Persson also uses 'feminist' as an insult
http://observer.com/2017/06/minecraft-gamergate-markus-persson-notch-zoe-quinn/
It wasn’t just another Twitter troll who called Zoe Quinn a “cunt” on Twitter this week. It was Markus “Notch” Persson, who sold Minecraft to Microsoft for $2.5 billion in 2014. What’s worse, this behavior is nothing new for the brogrammer.

The ongoing social media harassment of female video game developers known as GamerGate has been a constant presence in the tech world since 2014—just this week, male developer Tim Soret apologized for his role in GamerGate.

But while Soret is seemingly contrite, other developers have continued trolling unabated. This week Persson in particular has felt Twitter’s wrath, raising questions about the website’s policing of offensive content. Not that Persson himself seems to care.

Persson, who owns a $70 million home in Beverly Hills, is best known for creating the sandbox video game Minecraft. But he’s also a Twitter troll who’s referred to feminism as a “social disease.”

Persson’s rhetoric was mostly confined to the dark corners of Twitter until last weekend, when this tweet from Quinn, a female developer and one of the main targets of GamerGate, set him off:

ugh men, why can't they just accept that us women are too illogical and emotional to be rational, this is oppression!
 
I like Notch because he's not required to give a shit at this point and he knows it. He's like Pewdiepie. They're both these super big prominent figureheads who spend their time pissing people off just because they can.

Also, link to the story since it's not in the OP.
 
Someone has to do it, right? Notch should get paid for that mic drop lol.
 
Just when I thought all the mega-rich were out of touch with reality, Notch has to go and remind me that, deep down, they're just griefers like the rest of us.

Neither of them have to give a shit, but if you piss off Notch, he could buy your employer just to fire you. He wouldn't but he could. Pewdiepie isn't quite on the same level.
 
Notch is now the Jon Tron of video games.

But seriously, nothing will ever top when he challenged Bethesda to a Quake match to settle a lawsuit. He has a history of just saying what the fuck ever comes into his mind. It's not trolling it's just him being an exceptional jolly fat guy.
 
A few people did encourage Notch to go buy Buzzfeed too.

I think he's fine just doing what he does.

Notch was a /v/irgin who made a game and got incredibly lucky. The spirit is in there.
 
This is what "fuck you" money looks like. Shame doesn't work against someone you don't have any power over.

It helps that he also has nothing to be ashamed of.

Chelsea van Valkenberg is, in fact, an absolute and utter cunt in every sense of the word.
