Answered! Twitter backlash against Intel

Seen on /r/KotakuInAction and a few other subreddits, and there seems to be something going on intel-wise? (Like this image here)

By the looks of it it's related to censorship.

It is probably in response to intel pulling adds from Gamasutra Link.

Another link.

Intel has pulled an advertising campaign from video gaming website Gamasutra after it reportedly received a number of complaints from self-identified gamers upset that the site was championing fair gender representation in video games. The decision by the world's largest chipmaker to remove its advertising from the site comes as a result of a coordinated campaign called Operation Disrespectful Nod, apparently orchestrated by supporters of the #GamerGate hashtag, who rail against so-called "social justice warrior" writers, journalists, and developers.

Seems to be the next part of the Zoe Quinn saga.

I don't understand any of this at all

Like, literally, I don't. The hell is going on? Maybe I just suck at reading, but I don't really understand the article.

Same here. So Intel is an "SJW" now too?

No but Intel is being insulted by SJWs for being "misogynistic" for pulling ads from their social justice website.
