[QUOTE]In the most fitting example of irony, the female designer who inspired #GamerGate for allegedly sleeping with a gaming journalist for positive coverage, a claim that has already been disproven by the one who originated it, has revealed the social media campaign for the sham it really is. That's right, it's Zoe Quinn from "Depression Quest" and she has shed light on the situation on her Twitter feed. Quinn revealed she has observed and recorded the chat discussions of #GamerGate at its home base, 4chan, and all the ugliness that comes with. The series of tweets is long and contains Not Safe For Work language, but has been made easy to view in chronological order on Storify. For anyone that ever used or thought about using #GamerGate, you need to read Quinn's tweets.[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.examiner.com/article/gamergate-revealed-as-misogynist-and-racist-movement-from-4chan[/url] Here's a link to the evidence in question: [url]https://storify.com/strictmachine/gameovergate[/url]
Am i alone in not giving a rotating ratshit about this whole ordeal?
You're WAY late, not surprised you posed this, based on your posting history.
[QUOTE=Sprockethead;45920854]Am i alone in not giving a rotating ratshit about this whole ordeal?[/QUOTE] I care more about why the ratshit is rotating in your post than this ordeal.
wow what a surprise i never would have guessed!!
Yeah, it's not. Try again Quinn.
the chat was from before #gamergate was a thing and the log has already been fully released. turns out the chat was filled with 12 whole people, quinn cherrypicked portions of the chat, etc etc zzzzz examiner needs to examine its reference material a little more closely
cool headline LOL
i just want this thing to be all over
Zoe quinn is a manipulator of the highest degree, i'll take anything she writes with half a grain of salt. This fucking thing shouldn't even be about quinn anyway, it's about the corruption in gaming jouranlisim and the shitty practices. Zoe is the least relevant in this whole mess.
Person accused of corruption provides seriously unconvincing argument that they're not corrupt and we immediately believe them, more at 11
[QUOTE=Gamerman12;45920892]i just want this thing to be all over[/QUOTE] Well a few of these journalists and developers might be going to jail over all of this corruption and backroom dealing.. apparently.

Didn't it turn out that Zoe was Montie or something?
That's pretty lousy research. They didn't even bother typing "!log" to get the full context of the irc. Here's an objective article: [url]http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/137293-Exclusive-Zoe-Quinn-Posts-Chat-Logs-Debunking-GamerGate-4Chan-and-Quinn-Respond[/url]

Yeah alright Taco[I]shiller[/I], let's just trust whatever Quinn says in spite of everything else right?
[QUOTE=Mr_Awesome;45920935]great shill article, im lovin it[/QUOTE] More like shit article
this shilling holy fuck
It's moved past the stage of being about some chick fucking some guys for favorites, it's now about a pretty fucking surprising amount of corruption and favoritism within the indie news/review and gaming journalism scenes. I ignored all this shit for weeks but after getting curious I decided to look in to it, and the amount of shit that has surfaced is unbelievable. There's a lot of indirect links, but there's even more solid pieces of evidence that scream a lack of bias within gaming journalism and it's only now that people are disclosing their relationships with people that they've already direct benefited with their status. I thought journalists were supposed to fucking research and look in to shit like this, not cite circular sources like some sort of 12 year old blogger. There's enough evidence floating around to incriminate a hell of a lot of websites, so it's not surprising that they're all so hush hush about this and only post about how the "quinnspiracy" bollocks is assault on a single person or women. Shit is fucked up.
Someday these idiots are going to realize that every article like this they write only further proves the point of the people they're attacking.

[quote]There's also the revelation of the #NotYourShield, the hashtag used by #GamerGate advocates to show the movement wasn't racist or misogynist, was just [url=https://twitter.com/a_girl_irl/status/507554776348110850]4chan pretending to be women and people of different color.[/url] [/quote] One account that mentions #notyourshield is some guy trolling clearly his debunks everyone using #notyourshield and proves that 90% are white men clearly
[QUOTE=DeeCeeTeeBee;45921142] Shit is fucked up.[/QUOTE] Corrupt journalists are framing this as social justice vs white misogynistic basement dwellers to cover their asses and win sympathy. #Notyourshield has minorities (trans, black, etc) declaring their support for gamergate This has lead to alot of these journalists pretty much revealing through their responses that they don't really give a shit about encouraging diversity in gaming. These people are all just shilling it up with corruption and clickbait.
What a way to set the tone with that title. It's almost as if you knew that such a tone would preheat the oven so to speak, to put some ether in the engine of controversy. Certainly, this whole thread was designed just to get a few pages worth of reactions out of people.
