Corruption in gaming journalism discussion and update thread.

Other than the last one none of that shouldnt bother anyone actually interested in Social Justice but then again these people are sorta known for hypocrisy.

[QUOTE=goon165;46109095]Yeah, but 8chan's mission statement is 'free speech' and as we can see that means anything. one second glance in there shows the rules [B]no CP[/B] though.

I hope they understand how amazingly thin the ice they're standing on is, and so long as they don't do anything legally wrong everything should be fine.

[B][I]Should be fine.[/I][/B]

I recall reading that once they find something better than cloudflare, the no cheese pizza rule will be gone. Though I really hope it's just a joke that it will be gone if they do replace cloudflare with something else.

Thankfully I turned on my VPN before clicking it when I saw it on the board index... same with phile.

I view bikini armor sort of as "you see ivan". They wear this piece to never get hit because of fear of getting killed.

[QUOTE=lazyguy;46111290]Everyone over to 8punch.[/QUOTE]Screw that! I'll create my own image board, with blackjack, and slots, and hookers.

You know what!? Forget the blackjack and slots. Hookers! Hookers for everyone! :v:

Uuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

This is wrong on so many levels

[FunnyGamer]

Look on the bright side. At least it has a sticky saying "no sexual stuff"

Then again that's like saying having cancer in all of your body is worse than having cancer in most of your body.

[JesseR92]

Actually Id say look on the bright side at least we can self criticize and say that some part of our loose collective is doing something wrong rather than blindly defending them.

That is actually the worst idea I think I've ever heard, I also wanna hope they weren't serious because the moment CP shows up the entire website is at risk of being JDAM'ed from orbit.

Is it wrong that I didn't find anything incriminating there, [I]per se[/I]? I was too afraid to take a really good look at the place, but all I saw was pictures of kids. It suggests things I'd rather not think about, but I guess I've seen worse on imageboards.

Not that it matters or anything. Just putting what I think in there.

Also, I heard someone talking about VPN. Is a SWAT team going to break down my doors? Or is anyone going to find out? I think I'm scared now.

I'm gonna go ahead and say that there's probably nothing to worry about yet.

Have they really? It's fucked up and disgusting, but so far there's nothing actually illegal there. A large part of this war has been fought in the name of free speech and that's exactly what Hotwheels is supporting by allowing boards like that, regardless of his personal feelings on the matter.

Again, call me when they start allowing CP and I'll be the first to lead a crusade against the bastards.

[blerb]

I understand free speech and all, but what exactly would pedos discuss that isn't creepy and wrong?

The only thing I can think of discussing is how fucked up their fetish is, and possible ways to get rid of it. Anything else is just not right.

The subject of pedophilia is another discussion for another day, but let's take solace in the fact that right now no children are being harmed by giving them their fucked up fetish boards as an outlet. There's no doubt that the SJWs are going to use this low-hanging fruit to attack the opposition though.

Is Bayonetta a single mother

I'm asking because the plot of Bayonetta legitimately confused the shit out of me

no the little girl bayonetta travels with is [sp]bayonetta herself[/sp] it's all fine

[Helix Snake]

[QUOTE=Lambda 217;46115818]no the little girl bayonetta travels with is [sp]bayonetta herself[/sp] it's all fine[/QUOTE]

Alright I got confused because some of the early cutscenes about Bayonetta's past involve [sp]having a child with "one of the light"[/sp] so I got super confused when I started replaying it

I'll probably get the plot sorted out again when it comes out for the Wii U in about a month.

I just read the story synopsis on Wikipedia and it didn't mention what Bayonetta did that got her [sp]banished[/sp] so now I'm even more confused.

OK, reading ANOTHER plot synopsis, it turns out that [sp]the woman in those cutscenes is Bayonetta's mother, Rosa, who looks EXACTLY LIKE Bayonetta except for the butterfly glasses.[/sp] No wonder I'm confused.

This is a worthwhile read (it sure as hell beats talking about bayonetta's fine plot details!), including all the emails, the twitter convos, the facebook comments and that thread's comments. "Trigger warning", it doesn't paint GG in the greatest of lights (imho that guy fucked up hard, even though he came from good intentions he let his rage and ignorance get the better of him).

It's interesting to see that a lot of the anti-GamerGate people, who claim to be so violently against abuse, have so far seemed to do very little in regards to the recent abuse scandals with Sam Pepper and Jason, two famous Youtubers.. Wow, it's almost like they only care when it happens to them.

They only care if it's advantageous to care.
