'''Internet Aristocrat''', otherwise known as '''Jim''', was a YouTube personality who became known for his videos discussing [[index.php?title=GamerGate|GamerGate]], Tumblr, and the disparate communities surrounding both. His initial video on the [[Zoe_Quinn_Scandal]] was spread around many communities and websites, accruing a considerable amount of attention. The video had over 800,000 views when it was taken down. He followed this up with three more videos on Gamergate and the Quinnspiracy.

However, he eventually shut down his channel and dissociated himself from the movement. He felt that GamerGate had failed to take 'the opportunity to finally kick the teeth in of social justice warriors'. Additionally, he was incensed by the presence of what he considered to be sellouts within the movement, believing that they were in it for the money exclusively. He was also perturbed by the abundance of moderation and neutrality, believing that extreme stances had to be taken in order achieve true success.

The first use of the GamerGate hash-tag as a reference to the consumer revolt was by [[Adam Baldwin]] on Twitter. Created August 27, 2014, the tweet included links to the first two videos in the Quinnspiracy Theory series regarding the [[Zoe Quinn Scandal]]. The hash-tag gained popularity on [[Twitter]], other social media, and message boards, and would go on to represent what is now known as [[GamerGate]].

Although Jim has promised to eventually return, thus far, no portents of this have surfaced.<sup>[clarification needed]</sup>

Occupation blogger, youtube video creator
Affiliations GamerGate


Internet Aristocrat, otherwise known as Jim, was a YouTube personality who became known for his videos discussing GamerGate, Tumblr, and the disparate communities surrounding both. His initial video on the Zoe_Quinn_Scandal was spread around many communities and websites, accruing a considerable amount of attention. The video had over 800,000 views when it was taken down. He followed this up with three more videos on Gamergate and the Quinnspiracy.

However, he eventually shut down his channel and dissociated himself from the movement. He felt that GamerGate had failed to take 'the opportunity to finally kick the teeth in of social justice warriors'. Additionally, he was incensed by the presence of what he considered to be sellouts within the movement, believing that they were in it for the money exclusively. He was also perturbed by the abundance of moderation and neutrality, believing that extreme stances had to be taken in order achieve true success. This was stated on this specific vocaroo, although several libelous forgeries were crafted and disseminated across the internet in an attempt to portray him as a self-promoter.

Although Jim has promised to eventually return, thus far, no portents of this have surfaced.[clarification needed]
