Corruption in gaming journalism discussion and update thread. - General

You sure you guys don't want me to take it down?

[QUOTE=Doctor Zedacon;46267539]I'd say post that in SH, but not coming from an actual news publication, can't say if the mods would allow it. If anyone is willing to take the risk though, get it done.[/QUOTE] Eh, the thread about that seriously unnerving game 'Hatred' had a bloody tumblr post as source. I do think that this deserves a pass too in that case.

[QUOTE=Jordax;46267792]Eh, the thread about that seriously unnerving game 'Hatred' had a bloody tumblr post as source. I do think that this deserves a pass too in that case.[/QUOTE] The evidence the post provided was pretty solid.

[QUOTE=Mecha Pirate;46267087] [t]http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9521920/New%20folder/isis.png[/t] If you'd like me to take down the post, tell me. Because of the whole 'this person isn't relevant' or something.[/QUOTE] Oh fuck how colosally fucking stupid do you even have to be to compare this shit to ISIS. I mean I'm pro GG but all things considered how can anyone even think about comparing our little first world problem internet shitstorm to those fucking barbarians. Holy fucking shit who ever the fuck that is, he or she is fucking delusional.

I'm pretty sure many journalists would LOVE to get a skype interview with an ISIS guy who beheads people. It would definitely make tons of money and expose the crazyness of ISIS. So if he thinks GG=ISIS, that isn't a good excuse to not get an interview.

I mean VICE did an interview on a few ISIS guys.

Any journalist who says he wouldn't want to interview an ISIS member is lying through his teeth or monumentally stupid. That shit would be world-class news that would make their ratings skyrocket. Comparing GG to ISIS is fucking moronic.

Where's the email of the Gakwer EIC saying he has no problem with the bullying joke?

These Doxers, Just how the hell are they able to get that kind of information?

Something else to consider denouncing? [url]https://twitter.com/GamerGatePros[/url] [editline]18th October 2014[/editline] * nevermind they changed description ?

[QUOTE=Highwind017;46268757]These Doxers, Just how the hell are they able to get that kind of information?[/QUOTE] IP tracing, Facebook, etc. At least, that's what I think. I don't know completely how, as I never wanted to track down someone's personal information because I'm not a super stalker nor a vengeful jerkwad. I did test my e-mail on that one website that I forgot the name of. The only thing that it discovered was my Facebook account that was tied to that e-mail, but that was pretty much it, since I keep my real life stuff separate from my internet stuff. Even my facebook account isn't my real facebook, I just use it for internet friends who insist they keep contact there.

[QUOTE=Eonart;46266835][t]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B0MJmvrIIAAXrFS.png:large[/t] Time Magazine implied to be listening to the pro-GG side. Not really confirmed but it's likely.[/QUOTE] His Twitter is pretty much reblog spam with no clear direction. I doubt he even read everything he posts.

[b]Both Zoe Quinn and I are represented by senator Elizabeth Warren in Massachusetts.[/b] I reached out to her this week, because I’d like to see what work can be done on a national policy level. “We need legislation that requires sites like 8chan to store IP addresses. We need legislation that makes it possible for law enforcement to track down the people that do this. We need the game industry to cover these events when they happen - look at IGN, it’s radio silence from them.”[/quote]

Anyways dont worry, they arent gonna pass anything or do anything, they are nobodys guys lets not forget this. Also the fuck does it mean they are represented by a senator? That doesnt mean shit or anything at all, what the fuck is she even trying to say? Finally, how the fuck do they think they are gonna make legislation for internet shit? Do they not realize how fucking chaotic that entire scene is right now, courts and judges arent gonna give a fuck about a couple of random nobodys with internet legislation, people have tried for years. Why is it the games industry job to report harassment from imageboards? Im sorry but Brianna Wu is just flat out retarded in every sense of the word, its appaling how she has gotten any air time but honestly guys, its done FAR more damage to her and anti-gg image in the long run. It does NOT MATTER that Brianna Wu got some more sales and recognition for her garbage iOS game. While im having strokes and high blood pressure from the sheer amount of retardation coming from these people I cant help but smile and laugh, they come off as hysterics and lunatics and make the shit they say SO fucking easy to refute. They havent been smart, only loud, and this is why GG is going to succeed, because we arent the ones lying and coming up with such inane bullshit all the time(not saying theres not fucking idiots on the pro-gg side)
