[QUOTE=Monkah;47267927]It'd be cool if Facepunch ends up getting a reputation for being pro-GG. I've seen our names mentioned once or twice, but that isn't enough to make us a LW target.
Let's hop on aboard.

What do we say?

So Tim Schafer is not only blocking anyone who is talking about his sockpuppet negatively, seriously or jokingly, but anyone who favorites them or retweet them. I personally just got blocked, but a lot of neutrals like psychicpebbles are as well.

That explains what happened to Schafer's budget.

That's pretty petty.

I've retweeted quite a bit since that shit stream and it haven't happened to me, yet. So far I've only been blocked by Leigh Alexander.
i got blocked just now by tim
didnt even talk to him
Only been blocked by Full McIntosh and it wasnt even over GG honestly good riddance.

It is looking like he is doing this mostly by hand. A lot of people not on the blocklist are being suddenly blocked by him.
To the guy who posted earlier about too much eceleb drama: I completely agree. If everybody could stop posting every single thing everybody says and get to the actual discussion it would be great. I only really pay attention when its public or affects somebody.

It's how the intern has worked for ages, though. You can't change that. You might as well ignore it and discuss where it counts.

I agree in that we most of us pretty much keep up with e-celeb stuff because KIA is a hub for that and browsing through the subreddit is hard to miss.
I agree on the other hand of being tipped on the minecraft server event.
The allure is hard to ignore when presented so often and often misleading or an ugly duckling.
[QUOTE=The Pretender;47267879]Hey guys, I've been lurking here since the start of this particular thread version and the latter part of the last. I don't read everything, I just kind of skim the pages for the more important stuff.
What I came to say is: why all the e-celeb and e-villian bullshit here? You guys post Twitter drama here all the time and I just don't understand how it's relevant to GG's goal. Just so you know, I am pro-GG so don't get the wrong idea. I also think TB is a cool guy, but it's too the point of idolization with some of these people here. I may have seen this asked here before, but I don't remember the outcome.
(please don't hurt me, I genuinely want to know)[/QUOTE]
Well, to put it bluntly what else is there to talk about? We're all pretty much on the same page regarding GamerGate, but if anyone has any questions then don't hesitate to ask, we'd love to answer them!
If you want to help out directly, you'll want to make your way to the #GG thread on /v/ and read the OP. For most people, it's the most helpful part of the entire thread. There's plenty to be done, here's the current thread: [URL="http://8ch.net/v/res/2536941.html"]http://8ch.net/v/res/2536941.html[/URL]
On the other hand, I agree that people can get way too carried away with the e-celeb stuff here, especially when it comes to a certain mobile developer who branded us '2xtreme4 4chan' on MSNBC. She's about as relevant as Quinn now people.
A few months ago we'd go weeks without anything major changing, now we are at a point where [URL="https://gitgud.net/gamergate/gamergateop/tree/master/Current-Happenings"]happenings are happening literally every day.[/URL]

Assuming you mean new members, they'd have to adjust themselves to the climate. Mainly no image/video macros and that the bans [I][B]are[/B][/I] the warnings. That said though, things are much more lenient here than they were years ago so it's not impossible.

lmao at anti-gg, a group definitely containing at least one ex-neo-nazi, calling another group racist and sexist because they're totally brushing under the rug the fact that a joke was specifically targetted at a hashtag used for minorities to show solidarity.
if aggers make actual fights break out at pax then i don't know how shit has come to this.
ill laugh hard if literal fights break out
no one can be that stupid
I nearly forgot to post this

See that little blue line at the bottom that LEAPS up at the end? That's #NYS, up from ~1K tweets per day to [B]above 20,000[/B] per day.
the gamergate cat has seen more well-formed days
So C418 (wrote the music in Minecraft) made a tweet about the Tim Schafer fiasco that doesn't even seem to make sense.

That was a 3 minute long standing ovation?
It sounded more like someone was briefly ill.
[QUOTE=Monkah;47268260]"music"
half of their "songs" don't even have a rhythm to them

hey man, lets not get into what is and is not music. c418 does indeed make music
[editline]6th March 2015[/editline]
doesn't give his voice any more or less credibility, though
just don't bother with max
let him sit and piss himself in his little make believe world
to be fair, c418 wasn't lying about the [URL="http://www.twitch.tv/gdca/b/632774384?t=0h54m50s"]three minutes of clapping[/URL], even though it has nothing to do with GG other than the "misogyny"
I hope PAX doesn't end up like this.

What do you guys think?
I hope the Industry Crashes, and the reason it crashes is because of people like Anita, Zoe, Brianna and basically Anti-Gamergate. Then people will see that you can't have everything your fucking way.[/QUOTE]
Want to know the best part about this? If the industry does crash, there is a whole new group of indie's sitting out there, quietly working, ready to start releasing quality shit. With a focus explicitly on games, not Patreon.

We wouldn't have games that has the same Graphics as the present, but we would have games that look like the SNES/Genesis.
Atari had limit graphics, then the crash happened, and the NES had better Graphics. If a crash happens again, we will see the next step, the SNES/Genesis Graphics era till we come full circle.
