“I looked at Gamergate very cynically. I didn't care about the ethics. And I didn't care about the women I just cared that this is bringing users to my site.”

“I've never cared who I fight. And that's something I just say - 'I'll fight anyone' - it's something I've lived up to my whole career. And I'm proud of that.”
