Corruption in gaming journalism discussion and update thread. - General

yeah and when you ask them to explain their position they will tell you that they are "not going to enact the labor" of telling you. but first they will have to stop the interview because their mom got home.

I just tweeted about GamerGate and now I have the sudden urge to gas six million jews.

[QUOTE=Raidyr;46075792]Maybe if TB didn't pick the side of the Islamic Nazi's it would be easier to debate him.[/QUOTE] What do you mean?

[QUOTE=Fangz;46076020]What do you mean?[/QUOTE] He means that SJW-pushing ''gaming'' blogs have called us worse than IS and now worse than the Nazis. I wonder what is next in store. If we look on human level, the only one we need yet to top is Stalin.

[QUOTE=TurboSax;46074548]Here's the archive link: [URL="https://archive.today/nJBeG"]https://archive.today/nJBeG[/URL] "7 ways GamerGate has made the world worse" It sounds like either someone is getting paid loadsa money, or the sheer number of views from an article this click-baity will bring in a similarly-large sum.[/QUOTE] I read the entire thing so here's a synopsis. In order, gamergate is bad because: -#7. The Whole Thing Is an Ex-Boyfriend's Revenge Talks about how eron started it and posted it everywhere because he's dumb and hates his GF. -#6. There's #Gamergate Porn: There's porn of vivian and this is bad. -#5. The Lawyers Against Gaming Corruption Talks about those 2 lawyers (the ones who were married) who wanted /v/'s money and then /v/ collectively no longer trusted them because they were scammers or something. Doesn't really mention why they stopped, just that they did and it's funny. -#4. Zombie Social Media Saying #gamergate will attract like-minded people to attack anyone you want. #3. The Sworn Enemies of Justice Talks about how SJW is great, not about the actual people who rally under it. "Arriving in places and fighting against discrimination? The A-Team were social justice warriors." #2. The Alleged Corruption Never Happened Talks about how that one of LW's BFs didn't actually review her game. #1. #Gamergate Is the Wrong Banner "...joining #gamergate is like marching under Sauron's flag because you're worried about Minas Tirith's feudal inheritance of rulership." Thinks that the gg tag isn't the one to rally under, doesn't provide an alternative. Overall there are only two points that are viable that they could actually use, 7 and 2. I don't know what to think about the eron posts. If he wins that legal battle it's easily entirely validated as being something neutral. However, I do know that the corruption already exposed on the IGF is more massive than anything LW did and it's great that it was exposed for what it was. I don't think this article is very well made thanks to how it judges gg by how it started, not what it currently is.

[QUOTE=Fangz;46075697]So in today's Vlog from TB he revealed that he has been constantly denied or stonewalled when trying to put together a civilized gamergate debate.[/QUOTE] So surprising :rolleyes:

[QUOTE=Wii60;46076149][url]http://techcrunch.com/2014/09/25/gamergate-an-issue-with-2-sides/[/url] good article[/QUOTE] amazing article. there is also this: [url]http://blogjob.com/oneangrygamer/2014/09/gamergate-game-journo-pro-member-explains-how-pull-advertiser-support/[/url] [quote]Now let me re-quote the important bit so you know how to focus-fire your attention on contacting advertisers. “It would normally take a couple hundred form letters like this to get their attention, but at that point they tended to go based on pure numbers when it came to complaints vs praise for where their ads appear.” In other words. Pick a specific sponsor from a specific website that you would like to see get affected by #GamerGate’s movement, and politely e-mail them. This article here contains a lot of the contact information for reaching out to the sponsors. Alternatively, this Github file also contains appropriate info on which sponsors to contact and how to send them the appropriate info to get your point across. Additionally, Jayd3fox offers a boycott goal of the day and is worth checking out on Twitter for directing your attention to specific sponsors. Remember, Scott mentions that the sponsors are weighing negative feedback to positive feedback, so consistently provide the sponsors with negative feedback on the site that needs to lose its sponsors; this also applies to Facebook and social media feedback (Twitter included), so pick your shots wisely and keep the pressure on a specific sponsor until they pull support. If it only takes a few hundred letters to get their attention… imagine what a few thousand could do?[/quote]

[QUOTE=Gray Altoid;46067547]Incredible. Italics are my own emphasis.[/QUOTE] I edited my reply and messed it up. This is from the article [url=https://medium.com/@ryansmithwriter/a-weird-insider-culture-d1c3cc644c29]“A Weird Insider Culture”[/url]

[editline]25th September 2014[/editline] Isn't this perpetuating sexual assault & rape culture?[/QUOTE] She hypothetically/imperitively raped you. You should probably put a trigger warning on what she said.

The condescension is ridiculous. [quote]Not because of what they believe but because of how much their behaviors have changed lately. People wanting to make sure that they are okay isn't the same as discrediting them. [/quote] If they were legitimately concerned about me they should have asked someone to talk to me about my personal, psychological, and emotional well-being. Only one person even brought it up, and the only thing he did was ask me, "Are you okay?" and then we proceeded to talk about #GamerGate for an hour. In general I'm really shocked their response to being "concerned" about my well-being is posting that I am "gross, obsessive, and unhealthy" on subredditdrama. What a crock of shit.

-im too tired to be posting things right now sort of-

[editline]25th September 2014[/editline] [quote] Anyway, good luck with your "TW activism" and being GGs pet SJW.[/quote] [quote]... I find their nonsense to be worthy of being dismissive of, yes. I also find them to be one of those SJWers who loves to use all the pretty little buzzwords so no one can ever disagree, and the other SJWs who don't know any better eat it up. Also apparently people unironically identify as SJWs these days, but thats another matter, and perhaps I'm just too old and bitter. I'm done with this shit for today, and their little twitter brigade. [/quote]

Now even anti-GGers hate me for being an SJW. The cycle is complete.

[QUOTE=Reimu;46076691]Their words: We've gone full circle. Now even anti-GGers hate me for being an SJW. The cycle is complete.[/QUOTE] How do these people make up asinine excuses and disregard any responsibility?

[QUOTE=squids_eye;46074754]He tweeted this not long ago. [img]http://i.imgur.com/EkHlygD.png[/img] Funny how, in this article, he's done the exact thing he took the piss out of.[/QUOTE] When I saw that at first I did a double take because I thought he was actually admitting to it. That's how blatantly he did exactly what he's accusing others of. Also "It's amazingly easy it is"

[QUOTE=Reimu;46076691]Their words: We've gone full circle. Now even anti-GGers hate me for being an SJW. The cycle is complete.[/QUOTE] ...I'm going to need a diagram for this one.

[QUOTE=Fangz;46075697]So in today's Vlog from TB he revealed that he has been constantly denied or stonewalled when trying to put together a civilized gamergate debate.[/QUOTE]Well of course he has. He's a man, therefore he's evil, he's a youtuber, therefore hes parasitic, and hes a gamer, therefore hes a misogynistic neckbeard shitlord. Didn't you get the memo? :v:

[QUOTE=01271;46076757]...I'm going to need a diagram for this one.[/QUOTE] Me too. I'm confused. Where do I fall in the SJ scale now? Have I graduated from Social Justice Warrior and now became a Social Justice Gladiator?

[QUOTE=Wii60;46076149][url]http://techcrunch.com/2014/09/25/gamergate-an-issue-with-2-sides/[/url] good article[/QUOTE] [QUOTE] The question isn't whether Reddit mods are corrupt. The question is if ANY unregulated fiefdom system has ever NOT been corrupt.[/QUOTE] So good. Not as balanced as I'm sure the author wanted it to be but still just about the best write-up so far.

[QUOTE=Reimu;46076779]Me too. I'm confused. Where do I fall in the SJ scale now? Have I graduated from Social Justice Warrior and now became a Social Justice Gladiator?[/QUOTE] I hereby grant you the landed title of Sir Reimu, Social Justice Knight, Vassal under GamerGate, Duke of General Discussion and Count of Twitter.

[QUOTE=Gray Altoid;46076631]So wait, this SRS mod [i]also[/i] hates SJWs? what? [editline]25th September 2014[/editline][/QUOTE] Yeah basically. I eventually just told them I'm not going to argue with them anymore because with the way they kept missing the point, they'd have to be throwing it over their own heads on purpose.

[QUOTE=G-Strogg;46077072]I hereby grant you the landed title of Sir Reimu, Social Justice Knight, Vassal under GamerGate, Duke of General Discussion and Count of Twitter.[/QUOTE] I didn't know we had a king. I thought we were an autonomous collective.

[QUOTE=Reimu;46076779]Me too. I'm confused. Where do I fall in the SJ scale now? Have I graduated from Social Justice Warrior and now became a Social Justice Gladiator?[/QUOTE]Social Justice Bandit. Social Justice Outlaw. Social Justice Vigilante. Those last two would actually be decently badass titles. You should start using one. [del]Also now I can create new lines and the WYSIWYG editor is back. I have no fucking clue what is going on.[/del]

[QUOTE=Doctor Zedacon;46077439]Social Justice Bandit Social Justice Outlaw Social Justice Vigilante Those last two would actually be decently badass titles. You should start using one.[/QUOTE] "Vigilante" seems like the most fitting, to me. Reimu is now hated by SJWs on both sides of the issue, and is helping the pro-GG side without any kind of formal link to anyone influential in the group. Well, that, or Social Justice Batman. Same basic meaning, really.

[QUOTE=Tetsmega;46077373]I didn't know we had a king. I thought we were an autonomous collective.[/QUOTE] You're fooling yourself! We're living in a dictatorship. A self-perpetuating autocracy in which the core gamers are subjugated by the inclinations of the elite and wealthy journos and businessmen.
