Some people are talking about neogaf handing out revenge porn.

[quote]So here's the story. There is a forum called opa-ages that absolutely hates neogaf. A member of that forum did the mistake of trusting those pics to another person which gave it to a few other people. Well guess what the neoGAF admin who now pretends to be the beacon of social justice did when he got his hands on those pics, he made a thread and posted them on opa-ages:
......
Yes, you read that right, he printed the photo, jizzed on it, photographed it and posted it at opa-ages. The thread where all this was revealed and was here and has since been nuked to protect EviLore. [/quote]
:v:
Haven't really followed this or never visited the 'chan'.
But what if it's moderator joined her inner circle to gain information to later bust her to the authorities or communityn and that ban wave is just act to gain her trust? :v:

What parts in the video specifically? If you've seen it could you do a summary?
[QUOTE=EmperorVagak;46042558]I ran across this infographic while running through the gamergate tag.

Think this is a good way to introduce someone to the topic at hand, or is there something missing from it?[/QUOTE]
Forget any YouTube video trying to explain GamerGate, keep this on hand. Best explanation I've seen yet.
That is the Editor of Cracked.

Also 8chan just went down as of 20:01.
[QUOTE=KillerJaguar;46043243]I have been following the thread and it really feels that #GamerGate is getting into /x/ levels of conspiracies[/QUOTE]
No, not even pol gets into /x/ level conspiracies. At least modern /x/, the good /x/ is sadly long and dead.

don't worry, my is head on and I'll say 'woah hold on now', when it's happened. Heck the kotakuinaction stream going on right now it talking about polarization in a variety of angles and they aren't becoming hysterical like yourself. It even went off the rail then the moderators put it back on track.
[QUOTE=Xonax;46043348]What parts in the video specifically? If you've seen it could you do a summary?[/QUOTE]
It's hard for me to explain, just find the point were kingofpol and her start talking, it's interesting to listen to, then Milo spat was briefly talked about.... then Milo asked to be on. There some faults on Milo and she (I forget her name) during that stream (also milo didn't go on the stream).

server upgrade judging from the twitter
[QUOTE=No_0ne;46043505]server upgrade judging from the twitter[/QUOTE]
Yeah, it came back up in like 5 minutes.
So a guest video on the Amazing Atheist's channel popped up about this.
[media]http://youtube.com/watch?v=YCExXie1XB4[/media]
It may be the Amazing Atheist's channel, but it pretty much covers a lot of what was discovered in the past weeks.
The opposition is dismissing this video without actually watching it, because it's the Amazing Atheist's channel. (I know this because [URL="http://tumblr.maxofs2d.net/post/98099685132"]Max reblogged something on Tumblr laughing about this.[/URL])
(correction: Max did watch the video, and he did provide some input in the comments below. Did he just call Anita a strawman feminist?)

Yeah, sorry. He just happens to be a good look into the irrationality of the SJW mindset. Dismissive, haughty/holier than thou, and so forth. But I suppose I can draw it out from others beside him.

[QUOTE=eatdembeanz;46043267]So, were you on 4chan (or at least checking it out) when the mass-bannings started?[/QUOTE]
If I see that fucking Arthur janitor dog one more time...

It's not really AA who is giving that video though, it's someone else being a guest on his channel for one. In a sense, he's promoting whoever the Investigamer is. Looking at his channel, it seems he focuses entirely on gaming for the most part. Reviewing games, and talking about game controversy.
The main thing is it's just on AA's channel, that's all. You don't even see the AA at all during the video.
The problem is like I said, a lot of people who oppose GamerGate are going to just dismiss and push away the video for that reason of being on the AA's channel.
If there's anything to thank the Amazing Atheist for, it's for him using his popularity and larger span of subscribers to bring the topic to a greater amount of people.
Got into an argument with Dina. [url]http://imgur.com/421tcFO[/url]

hes back online, featuring blizzard bob who wasn't able to talk last night due to victim complexes
i dont know who to listen to when they live stream since they tend to stream at the same time, kingofpol or kotakuinaction. ech
[QUOTE=Reimu;46043748]Got into an argument with Dina. [/QUOTE]
"ha ha i'm just joking around on that subject about abusers and totally wasn't defending them, don't take this seriously *poke* ;)"
You got to be shitting me, the backpedaling is real.
I really wish they wouldnt stream at 2 am
Is Dina from Mightyno9? What is going on about her?
[QUOTE=Xonax;46043901]Is Dina from Mightyno9? What is going on about her?[/QUOTE]
nothing has really happened at mighty no 9 right now
just refrencing another case of nepotism in the industry. Social manager had friends in the company and stuff that allowed her to get hired despite never playing a megaman game. SJW's turned into a "it's Misogyny" fest though so nothing really happened when people found out how she got hired.
though mighty no 9 is rumored to ban/remove people from backing for supporting gamergate. they do block people on twitter who support gg though.

and mighty no. 9 blocked people on twitter that support gg. one person gave them $300 and got blocked for absolutely no reason.
Can someone explain to me what the Liana K incident from KingofPol's stream? In detail would be nice.

Just on a sidenote, I really don't like the way a lot of discussions seem to turn into this race to the moral highground. The only effective way to counter claims of harassment is to claim that they are supporting an abuser or something else even more morally objectionable. The fact that all it takes is a better offer to abandon the current cause and hook up with a new one might give an idea of why people can turn on their own so easily.
Still, you can't but marvel at how effective it is when used correctly.
Ok so I can only get the first part of the podcast because i have to leave soon, here's what I heard
Ok, so king is initially by himself and is on a talk about corruption in the Comcept: producers of the upcoming mighty no.9 and how the designer who is a women, has slept her way into Comcept and is taking off the names of backers if they supported gamer's gate, he also talked about how bad and casual the game is compared to original mega man so there's that.
Now he Brought on a Game Dev who wasn't blizzard bob, but is designing a game simulator involving hallucinogenics. the Dev has talked to Adam Sessler and others on the anti gamer's gate side and was surprised when they produced the "gamer's are dead" articles, he and king talks about the dev's issue with Samantha Allen of Polygon, who is a feminist and has been cherry picking and editing twitter comments to make her articles "more right," the dev asked if she would use his comments for her articles and received a warning from polygon.
So then they talk about Greenlight on Steam and the issue of getting games onto steam, the Dev remarked that the steam people helps developers initially, but then charges then money as time goes on and then the Dev may be asked to try again later, possibly going through the same cycle over again.
He goes to talk about destiny and how the quality of gaming is going down and gaming companys fuckups and i could stay around any longer. hopefully those who come here in the morning can get a good amount of information without having to watch the first 30-40 mins of the podcast

There's really no evidence to support that other than their word. They could have been blocked during the whole Dina drama. I haven't been blocked by the mightyno9 twitter account.

Anyone?

Apparently Anita has hired by some gaming companies to test their games for he input even though she isn't a gamer. Also a girl got hired by EA to test mirrors edge 2, she claims the controls are too hard for females. So the controls will be easier. All of this was heard on kingofpol's stream.
