I've been reading all about how SRS is turning reddit into digg 2.0. Cunts, the lot of them.

I used to use digg then I stopped gradually once there was a politics section, I have no real idea what really happened only that it wasn't great eventually, should had focused on being in part a rating archive which is was originally intended.
i started using digg during the exodus
started using reddit shortly after

A dude using a Dead Kennedys reference like that, is mind-blowingly ironic. Jello Biafra would beat the shit out of that guy.

The 3 people were caught, no bail, charged as adults

[QUOTE]The attacks and robbery began about 7:30 p.m. when four male teens kicked in the door of the home in the southwest Las Vegas Valley, grabbed a male victim, forced him to the floor and pointed a gun to his head. As some of the men began ransacking the house, another suspect held a knife to the victim’s throat.
An adult woman who was sleeping upstairs was awakened by loud crashes and noise. One of the assailants pushed through the door into her bedroom and put a gun to her head. He repeatedly questioned her: “Where is the safe, bitch? Where is the money? Where is the gold?” The man then walked down the hallway to the children’s bedroom.
In that bedroom, he confronted another adult woman who was sleeping with two children. After demanding to know where he would find valuables, he ordered her to keep the children in the room or they all would be killed. After taking valuables from the bedroom, the man returned to the other adult woman.
He forced her into another bedroom, pulled off her clothing and began sexually assaulting her. She begged him not to rape her. She told police he choked her as he raped her. Another suspect entered the room and demanded that she perform oral sex on him.
A third suspect then came to the room and raped her. She begged him to stop.
Moments later, another assailant, who appeared to be the group’s leader, ordered the other suspect to stop assaulting the woman. “This isn’t why we’re here. If you wanna get your rocks off, we can call one our bitches or hoes.” He then helped the woman off the floor and apologized.
As soon as this man left the room, another suspect entered and raped the woman a third time.
One of the victims called 911. Neighbors told officers they heard the suspects yelling that they had to leave because the police were on the way. They fled in a waiting car.
When officers arrived they found the house ransacked and a trail of property leading to the street. A neighbor’s video surveillance showed a dark sedan, possibly a Toyota Corolla, parked in front of the house during the robbery.
The sexual assault victim was taken to UMC for an exam and treatment.[/QUOTE]

Fucking scum.
This is one of the times I don't want anti gamers to comment on something ,they've been through enough they don't need to be dragged into this.
[QUOTE=Mingebox;47150422]What's this got to do with Gamergate again?[/QUOTE]
Beginning to genuinely wonder how many times this exact post has been made in this thread.
It really doesn't other than the woman in the first video being a supporter.
I am thinking we could do for a social justice thread to try and keep disscussions from going off topic to much.

The mercedes hangout video above explains the gamergate connection of how real victims are being treated with radio silence but those who cry wolf get instant media attention due to the narrative they are trying to tell. A example of media corruption, agenda, and bias.

Well isn't it a known thing that definitions don't mean much to SJWs?
It's probably one of those times again.

Most of the people who oppose it have such an obvious AGG bias, goddamn.
Wait, Mercedes Carrera, who is a porn star. Is also Pro-GamerGate?
Is this correct?

The Pro-side has seen a lot of support from the porn community.
Probably because the pornography industry has dealt with censorship issues since it's inception. I imagine most working within it are aware of that and see the parallels between their field and GG.

Besides the media, the other primary opponent of gamers are nutty SJWs who think all sorts of crazy shit about heterosexual sex; everything from men having all the power in the bedroom (lol?) to all penis-in-vagina sex being rape. They absolutely despise pornography and think the women doing it are slaves to the "patriarchy".
In that context, it should be no surprise that the porn industry - which regularly has to deal with media/crazy SJWs - sees value in our cause.

Why ask if you're not even going to look at what's being posted.

Chu has already resorted to victim blaming already.
Sickening,does he not have an actual job or family or something other than pretending to be a journalist and attacking victims of terrorism* and rape.
*I don't recall if he condemned Charlie Hebbado immediately after the attack but a few in that circle did.

[QUOTE]I spoke with their representative on the phone after these emails. They first asked why I felt their piece was so widely rejected and was wondering what they could do to fix it. After explaining the issues with the portrayal of men and women who game, their definition of harassment, and how the piece looked more like a hit piece against Gamergate, I was informed that the “story” was too hard to “spin” to fit their ideals. They asked me to try to make solutions for women gamers only and made it very clear all they wanted were “female victims of the video game industry” because it was an easier story to market. I was shocked; they asked for my opinion on the piece and for more information, agreed that these issues should be addressed, and yet when I expressed my disapproval they focused only on women and what could and could not sell. The final message I got from ABC was:[/QUOTE]
