[QUOTE=Helelos;47049669]KiA started as a sister subreddit of TumblrInAction and had the right ideas about the subject matter, but it devolved into a super-bandwagon for proving that they were better than the opposition. I honestly don't give a damn about Joe and think his videos are cringe-worthy viewbait just like The Nostalgia Critic's site.
It doesn't necessarily mean what BroTeam did was right, but goddamn, Gamergate has become a literal circus no matter how you look at it.[/QUOTE]
Gaming journalism and the internet in general is a circus.
Sounds like Niche Gamer might have been blacklisted by a PR firm called '[URL="http://nichegamer.net/2015/01/niche-gamer-is-effectively-blacklisted-from-xseed-games-by-one-pr/"]One PR'[/URL]. People are emailing Xseed and One PR asking for more info. Not a major happening yet since there's no concrete proof for their motivation and no word from Xseed, but something to look out for.

Well we already know the four people were literally laundering money through the IGDF/IGG, is this related or separate?

[QUOTE=Mingebox;47052040]You mean Watergategate?[/QUOTE]
After the watergate scandal, the watergate was renamed to simply be "gate" the gate you are referring to is the gategategate scandal, the gate about watergate being renamed to gate, or perhaps the following movement, gategategategate which is actually about misogyny in gategates.

It's so bad that Wikipedia has a list of scandals with a *gate suffix: [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_scandals_with_%22-gate%22_suffix[/url]

Someone did state it wasn't #GamerGate related though and Nichegamer also asked for people not to evaluate it in that context.

[del]No, that's Quinn. Wu was "not at home" last time I checked but maybe she's "back".[/del]
Oh right, she tweeted she was invited to there or something like that.

God damn do I hate his writing style.
But I'm glad that everyone pulled up their pants and stopped shitting on the floor.
He does have points via doxxing and idiots inside and on the periphery of both camps, and frankly Joe is a reactionary idiot who does exactly 5 seconds of research, usually on twitter or wikipedia, before forming a permanent opinion on something, and will only change his mind if a giant chunk of his followers tell him he's wrong or ignorant, instead of possibly you know, taking a small slice of time to make sure the shit he's hearing or reading and then regurgitating loudly on camera can actually be verified independently.
i already greatly disliked angry joe anyway so it's funny to me either way
i don't care about angry joe but that was a dick move on broteam's part
