[QUOTE=Kentz;49068640]everything gamergate related is retarded and overblown and should probably be disregarded[/QUOTE]
The IGF awards which had phil phish win two awards had a judge who was financially invested in polytron.
Journalists of competing publications have been privately discussing between each other and have blatantly spoken about what they think should and shouldn't be published to other journalists.
The unsubstantiated word of an openly sexist individual has gotten people fired from the industry.
Anywhere else these issues would be taken seriously, but because it's those stupid gamer goobers people disregard it as he ravings of disgusting nerds.
A porno of this movie would probably be more accurate than the movie itself.
[QUOTE=TonicBH;49067995]Well, it's because most of the people that I've seen call them out were men. 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.[/QUOTE]
...Which explains why I got stalked for the best half of four months by Maxofs2d and being used as a pedalstool for his hackneyed opinions whilst he pretended to be friends with me again.
...Which explains why the Airplay event conveniently gets a bomb threat despite no members of anti GG actually being present iirc
...Which explains why the /r/starcraft moderator publicly celebrated totalbiscuit getting terminal cancer because he "harasses women in the name of gamergate" or some dumb shit
...Which explains why anti-gamergate [B]repeatedly[/B] defends pedophiles in its ranks (Such as Sarah nyberg, that guy from salon, and valis77)
...Which explains basically anything Randy Harper has done
Do you have an anal-vore fetish, by chance? Because right now you're so far up your own fucking ass.

Whoa now... At least Freddy Got Fingered was a good movie. And the Angry Birds movie looks like it could be good.

I don't think any of the people involved with these projects were terrible people.

Steve Jobs was a massive asswipe and he got two biopics.
I love the number of people in this thread who say they don't care/are not part of the movement but then try to judge the whole movement in the same breath.
How can you have an informed judgment without at least taking a closer look at it? Who would have thought the media would start lying out their fucking asses when you try to hang out their dirty laundry. If you really don't care, then don't try to pass judgment on something you clearly do not understand.
Also lol at the people who think Zoe is still relevant to GG.
I can not wait to see this. It will be a definite razzie contender and will be a joy to watch if it's as good as SVU in portraying multi sided points of view.

Most of these people were vocal opposition to GG fighting for dozens of pages on GG threads.
They're tired of facts and are now just saying its dead to avoid having to make an argument.

I feel like this is appropriate.

This is why ignore stuff like this and create what I want in the world. If I focus on things like this, the attention feeds the stuff I do not like and I get entangled within its weave.
[QUOTE=Zang-Pog;49070054]Alright, but what about when you create things they're instantly labeled as complete shit because of people like these going around telling what people should like and what they shouldn't?[/QUOTE]
I keep building myself up and ignore them
Works quite well actually.
To be frank, I do not partake on either side, don't understand it nor care to.
So I have no idea what you just said.
I just wanted to use this as an example and proof of my ideas how to deal with things in life.
All I know is on side is against gaming journal corruption. Great! Go make your own magazine and make sure it has the highest integrity and ignore the other side. For other side? The criticism is about the sexism in gaming. Great!. Best idea is to make your own gaming companies, and magazines and focus on the best segment of the industry you can that is pro women and what not. Focus on building on what you want to see in this world and ignoring the things you don't like will be for the better.
You have to understand, alot of nastiness in this world requires your attention to exist. By focusing on and concentrating on the thing you hate so much,
you making it more powerful and likely have it be blown out of proportion. The other down side by fighting against something you dislike, you end up becoming the monster you despise.
[QUOTE=TonicBH;49066709]Good for her.
Not surprised to see the goony nerds already raging about this news... Perhaps if they weren't so angry about something so insignificant.[/QUOTE]
hey man
you're on facepunch
you're a goony nerd too

I think it's funny that every time these guys talk about how offensive and prejudiced gamers are, they always go out of their way to insult, belittle and label them. Like they think calling someone a virgin neckbeard loser is totally fine as long as they "had it coming" because of course 100% of all gamers are smelly meanie heads who hate girls.
[QUOTE=Lord of Ears;49070896]but.. but.. my superiority complex..[/QUOTE]
I think it's OK to feel superior than someone who was abusive in a relationship.
[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]
don't get me wrong, doxxing and harassment is fucked up and Zoe and Anita are idiots. I wouldn't dare defend either of them but there's always people who say "oh, just ignore them, they'll go away!" while simultaneously arguing over this stuff. like, you're contributing to the attention-giving solely by participating in the discussion. just ignore the thread if you're going to complain about giving them attention. it's counter-intuitive.
btw this movie thing just guaranteed gamergate will last past 2017 with no problems.
Gamergate was starting to fully reform into purely watchdogging and gg needed something to re-stimulate. glad zoe keeps it awake.
Also she already got a movie, the plot was her talking about how poor she is while using her macbook pro on the train then flying over to britain.

She gets 5,000 a month from what I can only call white knights.
[QUOTE=person11;49067373]from a neutral perspective: this will probably be as much a disaster as that law and order episode: both GG and Zoe Quinn will end up hating the way hollywood continues to portray video games and the people who play them[/QUOTE]
I think GG will at this point be more apathetic or actually mad AGG and games media for causing this to happen.

I've gone over this before. Its very easy to ignore social pressure when its small, but after a certain point, ignoring them comes off as insult and they use it to fuel their fire.
The only way to stop shit like this is to dismantle and expose the backwards thinking for the masses to see.
I'm not angry that woman want more representation in media, I'm angry that this sadistic manipulative bully is being portrayed as the patron saint of feminism.
It very quickly went from "who did what" into an ideology war and you can expect to see very inch of that if this movie comes out.
I'm expecting it to turn out like a pretentious student film by someone who watched too much Rent.
Gamergate may have been about pointing out the corruption of the video game industry at some point but now it's mostly immature people flinging shit at each other.
Yes ultimately the pro-GG people are right because corruption isn't okay but as it stands now their entire behavior and line of conduct outside of this very simple observation they made is idiotic and asinine.

That's what I don't get, what does she need everyone else's money for?

When you control the narrative, you can do whatever you want.
Just listen and believe, dude. Listen and believe.

A certain user on FP gives her money. Best to ask her.
However apparently she gets harassed and thus deserves money.

Nice sweeping generalization there bro. If the argument is just, then why should we stop? Also who the hell is making immature comments? Last I checked it wasn't the pro-ethics people getting constantly permabanned.
