Corruption in Gaming Journalism Discussion V2 - Back from the dead!

Look at it this way, at least SVU is the first coverage of Gamergate on tv that doesn't pretend it's not a work of fiction, unlike all the news coverage.
Well today was quite a day. It starts of with Wu asking Obama to arrest Hotwheels and it ends with Redchanit. And so the "lulz" continued deep into the night.

It needs a montage parody made out of it.
[QUOTE=JesseR92;47123805]That wasnt from SVU was it? Please tell me it wasnt.[/QUOTE]
No, it's from a real school(?) massacre with the SVU text badly overlaid.
It's really tasteless but actually not too far off from what they did in the episode.

The Columbine High School massacre to be specific. I'm not sure how well known it is internationally but in the States there's hardly a single person that doesn't know about it.

It's very well known, I just didn't remember the name or footage well enough to pinpoint it.
I knew it was from columbine but I was unsure if they actually did that in the episode.

Lastly, I am calling on the Obama administration to arrest and prosecute Fredrick Brennan, the owner of 8chan. 8chan doesn’t just host child pornography, it also runs Baphomet, the most hardcore doxxing and swatting site on the Internet. It’s time for Brennan to face justice.

SVU has had a "pedophile pro-iraq war defense contractor government black ops" attempt to assassinate the mayor of new york in broad daylight, this isn't actually the goofiest shit they've done. Dawn DeNoon is actually pretty famous for shit as ridiculous as this on a regular basis.

They still wouldn't use real footage though.
Jesus Christ, a link just showed up on Facebook news titled Brianna Wu, of course the articles headlining it are talking exclusively about what horrible things gamers have done to her.

Same with me, too many people are bandwagonning onto Wu's side without reading into the facts
Was Anita, Zoe and Brianna actually in this episode?
Or have characters named after them?
What is going on exactly.

Here we go~ :rolleyes:
(I made a Google Alert for the episode title but there's tons of pay2pirate spam everywhere it seems.)

I'd like to know in what world women are just raped in a bathroom for playing video games so I can never go there.
[editline]12th February 2015[/editline]
Totally accurate.
Good god almighty so its worse than I thought.
Yeah, I'm probably not touching SVU again.
And they say WE'RE the ones who have a loose grip on reality. Who fucking takes a TV show's story as fact?

The female dev character in question
- has huge hoop earrings (Some sites call them identical to Sarkeesian's. They aren't.),
- is accused of sleeping her way to the funding for her game (That's [I]really[/I] stretching the parallel but whatever this is SVU) and
- almost launches a game called "Amazonian Warrior" that's attacked for portraying strong female characters and is "attacked" by an interviewer on TV
- (shortly before being swatted (which happened to someone else with far lower media profile)).
It's a somewhat blatant amalgamation for people who know the issue, but you wouldn't get the connection if you weren't already informed about it.

[URL="https://archive.today/Q8fVd"]The author is (somewhat) AGG[/URL] and just spinning the story.
As far as I can tell pretty much everyone (including him) thinks the episode was garbage.
I just adore the redchanit logo /v/ made.

Here's a Polygon OPINION on the SVU episode: [URL="https://archive.today/qVAn6"]So, here's what I thought about that video game hate crime episode of Law & Order[/URL][quote][...] But it managed to hit most of the hotspots of the last few months.

It's worth noting that if this show had aired a year ago, we'd have all thought it preposterous. Sadly, it's based on horrible things that have actually happened.

That's... [I]not quite[/I] how trigger warnings work.

i wondered where detective stabler (stapler?) went when i watched this ep
now i know
They somehow managed to make it worse than I was expecting it to be. I'm alternating between dying of laughter and being utterly impressed by them managing to do that. :v:
Well steam just set a precedent
Hatred is on steam, AO Games are now allowed on steam.
