Corruption in gaming journalism discussion and update thread. - General

[QUOTE=kapin_krunch;46032998]Then wouldn't that make it contested?[/QUOTE] I dunno.

I thought SA was against GG and only has it's thread purely to keep discussion on it contained. It seems like SA's higher-ups think the whole thing's retarded.

[QUOTE=Xenomoose;46033174] It seems like SA's higher-ups think the whole thing's retarded.[/QUOTE] SA's higher-ups would know a little something about being retarded, that much is true.

[QUOTE=Xenomoose;46033174]I thought SA was against GG and only has it's thread purely to keep discussion on it contained. It seems like SA's higher-ups think the whole thing's retarded.[/QUOTE] they are keeping it up despite disagreeing with it aka they have enough integrity to not censor it.

[QUOTE=TehMentos;46031067]You know I am just sort of wondering if there's any way to effectively make my browser block content from websites like Kotaku and RPS? Hitting these awful websites where it hurts is what needs to be done. We need a simple method that could be spread quickly among internet users... Or is there something floating around already?[/QUOTE] I've gone into the settings of my router and blocked the addresses for Gawker. Makes life a bit easier for me. Only thing is, I need to add more sites since I learned of theverge, vox, etc.

[QUOTE=fruxodaily;46032738]This is my final change [t]http://i.imgur.com/2KKmhlS.png[/t][/QUOTE] What's the difference between neutral and contested?

[QUOTE=Wii60;46032351]people are making a list of all the pro/anti/neutral/etc. gamergate sites we are on the list [url]http://i.imgur.com/zFyUC6k.png[/url][/QUOTE] Vogue??!?!

[QUOTE=TyHap;46033292]What's the difference between neutral and contested?[/QUOTE] I think that neutral was "we don't give a shit about gamergate" and contested was that the community was split in half between pro-gg and anti-gg [editline]-[/editline] but twitter is neutral, so I dunno

[QUOTE=TyHap;46033292]What's the difference between neutral and contested?[/QUOTE] Neutral isn't even needed. Neutral should be basically all sites that don't give a shit, don't have any articles, posts, threads or news relating to it. In other words, the entire rest of the graph. Move twitter back to contested, and remove Neutral entirely. Those who aren't mentioned are by default neutral. If they are unmentioned but not neutral, then they need to be added.

[QUOTE=Xenomoose;46033174]I thought SA was against GG and only has it's thread purely to keep discussion on it contained. It seems like SA's higher-ups think the whole thing's retarded.[/QUOTE] The higher ups think it's stupid, but there's enough support (if you read between the lines) for GG that I'd consider it pro-GG. It's hard to figure it out because of how much irony and flippant comments they bury it under, but the support is there and bigger than you'd expect. Last I saw, there's three or so dedicated anti-GG people in their GG thread, and they're easily trolled morons that might even be secretly pro-GG, based on how obsessed they were with posting in the topic. I don't expect any developments to come out of SA, but there's a good amount of support there. FYAD are against it, but that's because they want to troll the "pathetic" nerds they refuse to admit they actually are.

unverified skype chat logs involving moot [URL]http://pastebin.com/tAynguZP[/URL] probably fake but eh

[QUOTE=Wii60;46033537]unverified skype chat logs involving moot [URL]http://pastebin.com/tAynguZP[/URL] probably fake but eh[/QUOTE] Where did that come from?

[QUOTE=TyHap;46033583]Where did that come from?[/QUOTE] 4chan thread.

Christ, it really feels like everything's tearing itself apart. Am I the only one here?

[QUOTE=Wii60;46033609]4chan thread.[/QUOTE] Then it's pretty hard to verify the thing. It's pretty strange and shady IMO.

[QUOTE=Wii60;46033609]4chan thread.[/QUOTE] It seems to go hand in hand with the 4chan post from the ex-mod, and moot's own behavior. Moot is pretty screwed in either way. He disagrees with the SJWs, he gets his site hacked, gets doxxed, publically lynched, whatever else they can do. He goes against Gamergate, and the users will leave him and 4chan for good. If somebody had told me that a woman cheating on her boyfriend with 5 guys would eventually lead to the end of 4chan, I wouldn't have believed it. (If it's fake, that pastebin would still make a great plot for a Deus ex mod. Heck, everything about gamergate would make a great Deus ex mod plot.)

It actually fits with a bunch of things that come out so, either this was the source or this just corroborates it. [editline]20th September 2014[/editline] Just a note, the weird part is these sites are tearing themselves apart, they're trying to stamp out everything and yet... Gamergate has held itself together, yeah we lash and go in different directions but we quickly come back into the amorphous blob.

Someone is doing the Daily Gamergate videos to sum up the day [video=youtube;2NoJ0pCh6r0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NoJ0pCh6r0[/video]

there is absolutely nothing to say those logs are real and they sound ridiculous

[QUOTE=Turnips5;46033719]there is absolutely nothing to say those logs are real and they sound ridiculous[/QUOTE] The dumbest thing about it is that moot is scared of cracked of all sites. Aren't they just a bunch of has-beens who are reposting their better content from several years ago because all they churn out nowadays are SJW-approved articles?

yeah even 8chan's skeptical about that log

Well with skepticism comes the need for investigation.Cant take everything we see as nothing but truth lest we become sheep.

[QUOTE=Doctor Zedacon;46032217]They're going to push the gamergate side an inch too far with this. They think they have some indomitable position on this but really, the moment the gamergate side decides to drop the cordiality they'll get the [b]internet hate machine[/b] they've been desparetly trying to portray everyone as. You shouldn't go looking for monsters under the bed, you just might find them.[/QUOTE] Whenever someone mentions [i][b]internet hate machine[/b][/i] i get the shakes, because that is a non-stop steamroller which is going to fuck up anyone who is stupid enough to stand in its path until it's done. And the aftermath is going to be devastating. ([i]not as in everything will be ruined but as the current system are going to be changed[/i]) And a part of me want to see the SJW's and anti-GG people "wake up the bear" and get mangled in the process, but the other part wants to see this resolved with as peaceful as possible.

What I wonder is why someone would put in so much effort into faking a pastebin like that and then a chan post as well, just to troll and stirr shit up with no real gain from it. But on the other hand, people have faked crazier things for less of a reason....

I really didn't care about this at all but.. what the hell happened to 4chan?

[QUOTE=Francis II;46033997]I really didn't care about this at all but.. what the hell happened to 4chan?[/QUOTE] People who do it for free.
