[QUOTE=TonicBH;49067741] Ignore the videos that one guy posted and read this [URL="http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Gamergate"]RationalWiki article[/URL] instead. The videos posted have a distinct bias towards Gamergate, and only tell the side that they want to hear, rather than the actual truth like the Rationalwiki article states. Anyway, I wouldn't mind having rational conversation about all this if this was a year ago, but now it's all played out. There's no way to make Gamergate look good nowadays. If you're actually in that community because of "ethics in gaming journalism," try a different community and movement because Gamergate is not it.[/QUOTE] You are worried about bias and then post a rational wiki article. Sorry but that's pretty fucking hilarious.
[QUOTE=Thlis;49067943]I am sorry but you have never had any intention of being as you say "rational" or "unbiased". You don't even know what TFYC is. It's literally a group funding project to allow women to get into game design/concept roles with practically 0 risk and everything to gain.[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure I never said I was unbiased in this matter. If I did, I'm sorry. If that's what TFYC is for, I wish them luck in their future endeavors. From what I read around, it seemed Autobotika and TFYC were one in the same and it wasn't for a charity. But I could be wrong.
[QUOTE]Besides harassing, dogpiling and gaslighting Zoe Quinn, Anita Sarkeesian, Randi Harper, Jenn Frank, Mattie Brice, Phil Fish, Brianna Wu, Dan Olson, Leigh Alexander.... I honestly can't think who else.[/QUOTE] Many, many people in GamerGate have been harrased, doxxed, sent death-threats, rape-threats and had their identities as women and minorities erased. Maybe you can't think of anybody else because those nine people are the only individuals who reported being harassed by Gamergate people, half of which have harassed people on twitter themselves. Do you think that a small minority of douchebags on the internet who harass people should make it acceptable to bully an entire group of over 30,000 people? Do you think that, for example, all muslims are terrorists because a small number of them blow up buildings? Do you think that, for example, all feminists hate men because a small number of them are crazy fucking radicals like Julie Bindel? Do you think that, for example, all police officers hate black people because a few of them shot black guys? There will always be people on the internet who are abusive, but that doesn't mean you get to call everyone who disagrees with you on a controversial political issue "goony nerds" and pretend that women and minorities don't exist because it disagrees with your world view. [QUOTE=TonicBH;49067924]Even stuff like "donating to charity" is a bit suspect, especially the whole "Fine Young Capitalists" thing (They're not a charity, it's pretty obvious in their freakin' name.).[/QUOTE] Hold on a second, you want to claim that a charity organization is not a charity organization because of "their freakin name", even when we know that they funded an independant all-female game studio in Brazil, as well as setting up the funding for more to come, helping the struggling game industry in Brazil while at the same time supporting getting more women into games. You're arguing that they're not a real charity because of "their freakin name"? Listen to yourself, dude. [QUOTE]I said that it's all "goony bearded men" complaining, and I apologize for leaving out the few who don't fit that stereotype, like Liana K and Oliver Campbell. However, I respectfully disagree with their opinions. Much like I do with a lot of people in the Gamergate crowd.[/QUOTE] There are many, many more people who don't fit that stereotype. One would question why you would feel that using that pejorative in the first place was in any way acceptable.
[QUOTE=Ninja Gnome;49067939]pretty disturbing how someone can support a known abuser because they agree with their politics[/QUOTE] Pretty disturbing that certain people blindly supported and defended a child molester because of their politics.
no matter what your opinions are on gamergate, zoe quinn is an abuser that has a support network that is willfully blind to it. [url]https://thingofthings.wordpress.com/2014/11/17/zoe-quinn-is-an-abuser/[/url] [video=youtube;n_UKErD0uGQ]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_UKErD0uGQ[/video] and the rest of the series is a fantastic breakdown on zoe's abuse. eron probably got the fucking worst out of all of this, he has gone on to say he doesn't even like gamergate and quinn and her sycophants continued to drag him through the mud. i just hope that the upcoming court cases go well for him, he hasn't deserved any of this

White men, specifically. Yes, there are minorities and women also harassing them, but that doesn't mean "Oh, it's okay because it's not just men!". To me as a whole, Gamergate, regardless of gender or race, is an awful community. The most that the victims of Gamergate have done on their side is humorously point out their issues, maybe insulted some of them. That's it. Nothing as severe or as dangerous like swatting or anything heinous. Maybe the bomb threats, but even then we never knew who called them in. That's what surprises me, really.

How do you know that those people are actually white men? Do they all use their own photos as their twitter avatars? Moreover, does being a white man automatically make you an internet harasser? How does the racial makeup of an internet hashtag make more of them harassers? Nothing you just said has anything to do with what I said.

Okay, I need everyone's take on this: Are you a Gamergate supporter, and, independent of that question, Do you want to watch this movie or not watch this movie?
[QUOTE=Ramen;49068075]Okay, I need everyone's take on this: Are you a Gamergate supporter, and, independent of that question, Do you want to watch this movie or not watch this movie?[/QUOTE] I'll probably wait for someone to stream it.

That is not supposition nor opinion, it is fact. She is also an open sexist, racist and classist, again by her own word. You are quite literally full of shit.

People like Tonic are a pretty good indication of aGGs successes in mainstream media. Seems he's drank a full glass of that delicious kool-aid and is now impervious to reason I wonder if a decade down the line there are gonna be retrospective looks back on GG, followed by a collective "what the fuck were they thinking" in mainstream media while pro-GGers are shaking their heads in the background, wondering why it took so damn long
Except they fit entirely in the context I was using them in, but hey whatever floats your boat

funny how everyone wants to stop talking about Zoey Quinn and Anita but you guys love to yap about this shit to no end.
[QUOTE=Zang-Pog;49068392]I'm pretty sure most people want these idiots to take responsibility of what they've done instead of keep pretending to be the eternal victim, but you can keep doing epic snipes without actually contributing anything to the thread if you'd like :v:[/QUOTE] The greatest tragedy is that they're abusing societies "protect the white women" thing.
It's not like that's the first time an irrelevant figure gets a movie two years after having lost all relevancy. [url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1595842/]Fred[/url] got a movie. [url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3801438/]Grumpy Cat[/url] got a movie. [url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0240515/]Tom Green[/url] got to make his own movie.

And not only that but go further to say that it is unbiased and only sates fact? Like seriously even going beyond RationalWiki's reputation it literally takes 5 seconds to look at this and say, "this is skewed against gamergate."
everything gamergate related is retarded and overblown and should probably be disregarded
[QUOTE=Tetsmega;49068550]Is this like the rapture where the date keeps extending?[/QUOTE] kind of a reverse rapture date actually. 10 years is when it wont be happening, since it is happening atm
