[QUOTE=Ithon;46990860]I'm seeing youtube as more of a penny press of the 21st century.

it's tough when you have kids.[/QUOTE]
There is absolutely nothing to make it be that. There is nothing preventing content that kicks the shit out of any other journalistic venue. Youtube is a tool, and literally nothing more but what people make it.

This has done nothing to raise any accolades from me. Wikipedia has become the same sort of club as the other organizations that populate this thread; except it moves at the speed of hand wringing bureaucracy; there won't be an impartial accounting of the incident, much less the backlash and movement after for years, if not in the span of a decade or more. Socialization and cliques within cliques and polarization are pretty much inevitable unless you are scrupulous as fuck. No one outside of things like the Oljefondet pay people to be scrupulous, and wikipedia is blatantly as far from that as you can get.

It's like Twitter where they hide that kinda link under the timestamp for some reason.

Look, Phill, you're mentioned in a video (8:25)
I give it 3 days until an anti-GG person, if people even [I]acknowledge[/I] that Lizzy was doxxed off the Internet, says that she's faking it for attention with 0 evidence to back it up.

I've already seen people accusing gamergate of doxing her
because that makes sense

I'm glad this thread is a thing because I thought GG was exactly what the media portrayed it as and never paid attention to the threads on 4chan.

He apologised though.

It's okay. When the media almost exclusively paints something as a certain thing, it's going to be tricky to try and be persuaded otherwise. Thank you for giving us a chance. <3
[QUOTE=G-Strogg;46995160]He apologised though.[/QUOTE]
what a nice guy. i totally forgive him.
i hope he's still enjoying the job he shouldnt have
[QUOTE=c0nk3r;46994992]I'm glad this thread is a thing because I thought GG was exactly what the media portrayed it as and never paid attention to the threads on 4chan.[/QUOTE]I'm glad there are open minded people like yourself who are willing to give us a chance to explain how we feel.
You'd think this would be a simple thing given the reputation of modern news stations, but whatever.
And now antis are mad at TB for saying that toast isn't a gender...

How the fuck do you even say something like that?
You know what? Fuck it, my ass is officially a gender.

I can't imagine how stressful all this nonsense must be for everyone involved. Reminded me of this recording TB did a year go.

There's a tumblritte who goes around saying she's a plutokin or something.
The triggers are Neil De Grasse Tyson, Saying Pluto is not a planet, and every planet larger than pluto.

I think that particular one is satire.
For the wikipedia situation, is it 7 votes needed if 1 person abstains?
Yes. The issue right now with Ryulong getting a full ban is that three of the people who voted for his ban listed it lower than the Topic ban, meaning those votes take precedence. He's topic banned no matter what.
