ADVERTISEMENTOne video game developer has shown us a beautiful way to deal with online trolls. Alex Neonakis, who has worked in game design for 10 years, started a donation campaign for video game education program Girls Make Games (GMG) after she became the target of online harassment. She then shared screenshots of her donation, as well as the some of the harassing tweets she had received. GMG CEO Laila Shabir told HuffPost that the company is “reeling” from the influx of donations, which will predominantly be used for scholarships. It’s getting close to $20,000.” Shabir told HuffPost that donations from individual sponsors usually come out to $800-$1000 annually.
