Why is your Youtube depressed?

[QUOTE=Mecha Pirate;46243154]Why is your Youtube depressed?[/QUOTE] Magic Actions. Also, for context, that "native american" is a pale white guy living in a peninsula in Canada whose grandparents (IIRC) were actual native americans. That's like saying I'm european because my great grandparents were Italian and Yugoslavian.

[quote] One thing that's been lost in this particular venue at the current time is that electronic gaming makes the MOST money of any entertainment venue on planet earth. The most. If you think that there aren't people out there trying to control that kind of revenue/marketshare and the social implications/ramifications with extreme investment in their own agendas, you're probably going to be very sad when this all said and done. [/quote] I'm really sorry for irrelevancy, but I've just completed an essay about piracy, where there was a link to study concerning revenues of entertainment industries. At the current moment, actually, books industry is leading at around $100 billion [quote]4) Global book publishing industry was worth more than film, music and video game industries at $102 Billion USD. Most of the revenues come from increased sales of eBooks. There was also no noticeable decline of people reading books. [/quote] Figures are from 2012. At that moment, video game industry was around $63 billion worth. I hope somebody finds it interesting.

If you're fully aware that this has absolutely nothing to do with the topic of this thread why even bother posting it. Last I checked "offtopic" is still a bannable offense, so don't play with fire like that if you can help it.

So like in September there was some guy spamming pictures of the same feet and socks on /v/ and people pointed him out on the archive. This was like a month ago. Almost all the posts the guy made were on GG threads. I went to browse the archive and luckily I saw the link that exposed the person and I checked it today and holy fuck my mind is blown. I dont know what to call this, its been a fucking month. Someone really isnt doing this for free right? Is this actual PR shitposting or something? This is anti-gg pretty fucking hard.

[QUOTE=Dark RaveN;46243604]to fight fire with fire, your post is as much as off-topic, as the previous one and this one.[/QUOTE] Seriously? You posted about fucking e-books. I at least posted about something that was related to #notyourshield, which is directly related to GG. [QUOTE=Dark RaveN;46243604]im not even gonna talk about the fact that people here discussed a banned ex-mod for 6 fucking pages, talk about irrelevancy back then eh?[/QUOTE] He was banned because of something related to GG. Again, you posted about fucking e-books, for no reason.

[QUOTE=Penny Arcade] It is the height of ridiculousness that I feel compelled to come down on one side or another of the “death threats” issue. Like Danny Glover, I am too old for this shit. One of the ways you know I am too old is that I make references Danny Glover. Here’s what’s going on: a distilled form of Abuse is being iterated on a profound and gruesome scale. Such people cannot be allowed to win. Ever. You can’t threaten people with death, and I resent very strongly being made to type that out. Not only can you not do that because you can’t fucking do it, it has the power to obliterate everything else you say. In fact, it obliterates everything the people around you are trying to say. That’s what has happened now. I know that this situation is more complex than anyone is willing to enunciate. I know that “Gaming Journalism” is a contradiction in terms. But they’ve broken your banner, now, and you helped them do it. I grieve for the ones who tried to do it right. When your media doesn’t represent you, or actively attacks you as it has here, it’s not your media. You’ll have to make your own, and it’s not impossible. It’s more possible now than it has ever been in human history, and you’re reading an example of it at this moment. Go your own way. I’ve enunciated a reasonable position though, right? That you can’t threaten people’s lives? Watch me get crucified for it; let my crossbeams be made from two sturdy hashtags.[/QUOTE] [URL="http://penny-arcade.com/news/post/2014/10/15/star-gourds"] Penny Arcade commented on the thing.[/URL]

[QUOTE=Manibogi;46242918]I brought you some ignorance for you to point and laugh at. [/QUOTE] I remember this guy. I remember him getting into an argument on, of all fucking places, a pony image sharing site, under the guise of multiple sockpuppets and a fake girlfriend--'Tara Callie'. That, and the hilariously bad 'Why I Don't Like Steam' video he made, which I think I posted to this site, actually. You know you've fucked up when the [I]brony community[/I] despises you.

[QUOTE=CcZero;46244981]The real question is why you were there to begin with. :v:[/QUOTE] Ah, that was a long time ago. Still absolutely hilarious, the way that guy got slammed down by the mods there. He also got into a scuffle with a woman on tumblr I follow, and got wrecked there as well.

[QUOTE=JesseR92;46244072] [editline]15th October 2014[/editline] Time to splinter off and form our own grassroots movement keeping the original spirit of GG while trying to avoid the stigma?[/QUOTE] I don't think he (Tycho) understands that the vast majority of the death threats come from a neutral party that's just doing it to troll people.

[QUOTE=JesseR92;46244072]Time to splinter off and form our own grassroots movement keeping the original spirit of GG while trying to avoid the stigma?[/QUOTE] How naive are you? What do you think is going to happen to the other movement? Death threats will still happen and they'll just smear it again.

Boogie is absolutely terrible at arguing, he'd get destroyed even by Wu. I'm fairly certain he wouldn't accept after all the shit he's been getting though. Too bad Tb is currently not up to the task, he seems like he'd love to be on TV. He's a bit direct at times though :v: [editline]16th October 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=CcZero;46243987][URL="http://penny-arcade.com/news/post/2014/10/15/star-gourds"] Penny Arcade commented on the thing.[/URL][/QUOTE] One-sided as expected.

I'm even thinking about buying their stuff again if it's good and they keep up being not utterly awful.

Question. Is there a reason why the hashtag is #StopGamerGate[b]2014[/b]?

[QUOTE=Billy2600;46246361]Question. Is there a reason why the hashtag is #StopGamerGate[b]2014[/b]?[/QUOTE] dunno. but its one of the reasons why the hashtag is dying and didnt do so well. hard to remember, year at the end is unnecessary. marketing 101. keep it short. the reason why gamergate will succeed is because anti-gg and gaming journalists are so dumb.

[QUOTE=Billy2600;46246361]Question. Is there a reason why the hashtag is #StopGamerGate[b]2014[/b]?[/QUOTE] Maybe #StopGamergate was already burnt-out. Maybe they made it longer so that people can discuss even less. Maybe one of them actually thinks the Kony stuff was not a scam :suicide:

[QUOTE=Billy2600;46246361]Question. Is there a reason why the hashtag is #StopGamerGate[b]2014[/b]?[/QUOTE] So they look like fools when this reaches 2015. This rides not ending.

[QUOTE=Billy2600;46246361]Question. Is there a reason why the hashtag is #StopGamerGate[b]2014[/b]?[/QUOTE] I wouldn't be surprised if they had another scandal prepared for next year.

When is is Wu's TV appearance in UTC?

[QUOTE=Billy2600;46246361]Question. Is there a reason why the hashtag is #StopGamerGate[b]2014[/b]?[/QUOTE] Possibly Kony2012 reference?

[QUOTE=adnzzzzZ;46245483]How naive are you? What do you think is going to happen to the other movement? Death threats will still happen and they'll just smear it again.[/QUOTE] I was wondering about others opinion on it actually .Of course they will try to smear it they do that with everything. [editline]15th October 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=RayvenQ;46246575]Possibly Kony2012 reference?[/QUOTE] Until late 2013 I though Kony2012 was an MLP joke because it happened around the same time the Pony fandom got big.

8chan found out the person who wrote the dragons crown review for polygon was the same person who wrote the sonic boom porn article [url]https://archive.today/tlVcT[/url] [url]https://archive.today/fl7bT[/url]

So I got a question does anyone feel like they're doing anything for #GamerGate right now? And I don't mean "it's dying guys", I mean I feel like I should be doing something at this point. I've been following this since the Zoe post and I've been supporting it through and through, but something bothers me and that is the lack of actions. There seems to be a lot of people, mostly anonymous developers, who want to see something new spring up that supports gamers and supports developers more than whatever we have now. The only thing I can think of are a bunch of new gaming website springing up, but that doesn't happen over night and it certainly isn't going to happen here. I've had conversations but that is about it and I'm kinda wondering what else can be done. There are people like Niche Gamer who clearly already have the connections to make stuff happen or KingOfPol who gets interviews and such, but what can the average, frustrated-of-crappy-press enthusiast do besides sit around and wait for more people to stand up about this?
