[QUOTE=lazyguy;46950316]I still can't quite fathom the behaviour of AGG. Their attempt at creating their own Vivian James was just making her a blonde who wears pink - because that means she's better, of course - but you have people demanding the bullying of children and act with general malice towards the less fortunate. They're like the villains from an '80s film. In fact... [img]http://i.imgur.com/lljt1DX.png[/img] They're pretty much Cobra Kai.[/QUOTE] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/OyZKgop.png[/IMG] Is this guy for real?

[QUOTE=Banned?;46951447]Can't see shit captain.[/QUOTE] The "University of Chicago Police" car has a "non emergency" phone number on it. The list someone dug up is basically for random tasks like shoveling and light bulbs needed to be replaced. I don't know why that matters here though? Maybe they don't want campus police being called for trivial shit?

[QUOTE=wickedplayer494;46950339]Milo's phone number got released on Twitter, [url=https://twitter.com/Nero/status/556247988650000384]and loads of gay porn pics are pouring in[/url]. [url=https://twitter.com/Nero/status/556238392879767553]He reported it to Twitter's staff and the SFPD[/url], and this is the response he got to an email asking the person responsible about stuff: [url]https://twitter.com/Nero/status/556229372718645250[/url][/QUOTE] Now there's [URL="https://archive.today/bKgck"]this[/URL] (faking the /baphomet/ stuff would take slight effort so I doubt it's all fake, but I assume some of that is purely for drama. In any case verify it). I don't condone that kind of stuff, but I can't say I'm surprised a doxxer is getting doxxed. At this point if you do it publicly with your name attached the wrong people are bound to take notice. (/baphomet/ are probably monitoring doxxing news etc.) They seem to be after her for... [URL="http://tweetsave.com/andaasonsan/status/556219886138298368"]insulting Open Source Software?[/URL] What. (Actually it seems it's because she says meritocracy is a tool of the patriarchy and unskilled women not getting hired is oppressive or something.) And since she's blaming it on Gamergate [I]and[/I] has a media company I expect the coverage to go up yet again in the next few days. (Though it's going to be difficult to differentiate that from the ABC-Sarkeesian-bump.)

[QUOTE=thrawn2787;46951490] I want a shirt that says "I survived being called a faggot on the internet"[/QUOTE] These people have probably never faced actual hardship in their lives. I bet the most stressful situation they've been in was trying to beg their parents for more trustfund bucks. Anti-gg is the worst.
[QUOTE=Te Great Skeeve;46950743]Holy fuck, they actually did. That is.. is that illegal? That's completely insane. I can't even comprehend. Who the fuck is upvoting it? Deleting all the critical comments and leaving the hateful ones to make them look bad. What the fuck?! How the hell do we report that? There has got to be an organization against that somewhere. [editline]a[/editline] Like holy fucking shit, that's the most prominent case of corruption I have seen yet. I'll be doing everything I can to get the word out about it, they cannot and will not get away with that.[/QUOTE] It depends on where they are from. It's legal in the USA, unfortunately, which is how Fox News has survived so long. In Canada I [I]think[/I] it's still illegal, and they may get slapped with a huge fine due to this. If they were in Germany they'd get sued by consumer protection agencies after a week at most :eng101:
I dont give Canadian media really any credit they have run a couple smear pieces.I had the pleasure of paying for those too.

[QUOTE=Wii60;46951513][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/dya3KC9.png[/IMG] they know[/QUOTE] Harada and Ono have had issues with the western press for years; no big surprise there. Anyone old school from the FGC will be able to recall shit slinging since the early oughts after fighting games fell out of public favor. (Full Disclosure: the fgc was toxic for literal decades before mostly cleaning up its act... mostly)
[QUOTE=Banned?;46951447]Can't see shit captain.[/QUOTE] That's a university's campus police, not real police. (Assuming there's nothing weird going on with private law enforcement in the US.) They can be called for non-emergency service. The implication is that Sarkeesian staged her "police protection" (which I assume even if that "non-emergency" point is totally irrelevant, since it would take a minor request from a "celeb" to get that car on campus).

One time in the 6th grade I had someone who was a champion kickboxer (I forget) punch me in the face, it was so powerful it felt good. You'll never see me with a t-shirt like that.

This Shanley persons really seems like a unlikeable bitch anyway, just judging by her Twitter posts. I'm not even talking about just today, I'm reaching back and thinking "Maybe you shouldn't have a Twitter." Oh, and this [url]https://twitter.com/shanley/status/556195144710361088[/url] lmfao [editline]16th January 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=Tamschi;46951568][URL="http://tweetsave.com/crashoverridenw/status/556332242478190594"]They already announced they won't help in that case.[/URL][/QUOTE] lmfao anti-harassment but only harassment we deem good enough to help you out for. What a bunch of fucking blind scumbags.
Cannot believe what ABC is doing. This is not just deceitful, not just a dick move, but [I]legitimate perversion of a forum[/I] to try and express a point which is not true. I didn't think that news companies could even [I]be[/I] this corrupt but this is totally unacceptable. But remember guys, there are no issues in the media. Jesus Christ, just [B]imagine[/B] what it would be like if it were the protesters of Ferguson getting this kind of character assassination.
[QUOTE=DuCT;46951311]She does. Can't remember what it is, but if you search the threads on KiA you'll find it. Just need to get people to email Patreon about it .[/QUOTE] I can't find her on Patreon. In any case it seems she used Gittip but then decided to slander its creator. [editline]edit[/editline] [URL="https://archive.today/KZ2Kn"]Here's the spin version of the events from a feminist wiki.[/URL] You can probably do your own research from there's if you're interested (which I'm not). She's probably not the smartest in regards to consequences of her actions. [editline]edit[/editline] [URL="https://www.patreon.com/modelviewculture"]I found the Patreon[/URL], but it runs in the company's name and seems benign. I don't think there's any reason to go after it, considering it's not a harassment or "doing nothing" page.

ABC is owned by Disney, anyone they went to "war" with would be obliterated outside of fox news. Secondly ABC is owned by Disney, they aren't going to do [I]anything[/I] that appears negative or asshole-ish to the general public. Gamers are an easy target, of course they're going to take the progressive side, period; same as PBS and MSNBC.

Seeing it being tweeted a bunch.
[QUOTE=JesseR92;46951728]Have they run anything on GG yet? I dont recall[/QUOTE] No. They are busy with the usual conservative soft points (ISIS, etc...). While they are more likely to take gamergate as a whole as an ethics issue and see our side, I'm afraid that it wouldn't be an interesting enough story on it's own to air to their audience without emphasizing the "gamers V SJW" aspect.
I hesitate to call them SJWs I mean what is there SJ about them,so far they seem to inceadibly antisocial and have intention of fixing anything.other than Assholes what else do we call them?
