Corruption in gaming journalism discussion and update thread. - General

[QUOTE=KillerJaguar;46268635]ISIS is the new Hitler[/QUOTE] Honestly, with the amount of times people have invoked comparisons to ISIS when talking about gamergate, it does almost seem like a new Godwin's law.

[QUOTE=e_k_M;46269601]this image is spreading in the AGG side[/QUOTE] They are running out of lies, so they make new ones.

[QUOTE=Swilly;46269674]Someone should totally make an edit.[/QUOTE] Well at least the graphic design doesn't totally suck, I'll give that much credit.

[QUOTE=Mecha Pirate;46269724]Well at leastn the graphic design doesn't totally suck, I'll give that much credit.[/QUOTE] That's the point, it makes the info look more credible than it is.

[QUOTE=Athlias;46269861]That's the point, it makes the info look more credible than it is.[/QUOTE] I meant that it will be much more pleasant to edit because the design work is already done.

We need, like, a list of actual, irrefutable corruption that GG has exposed It's really hard to argue with someone who is anti-GG because even if you get it to them that the harassers don't represent the whole group, they haven't really done anything except get advertisers to pull from a site for insulting gamers. When you go into a site like this one, it's about 99% "look at this AGGer on Twitter and how much of an asshole he/she is" or "look at this mild e-celeb speaking against GG, doesn't that make you mad" GG is way more concerned with anti-GG than about actual corruption at this point, and even though I support what GG is for in theory, it's not really getting much done. Journalists insulting gamers in op-eds isn't concrete enough to be indicative of corruption. I know corruption has happened because I remember reading about some of them, but we need a source that lists actual examples, not stuff like the anti-gamer op eds and the Polygon Bayonetta 2 review.

[QUOTE=Wii60;46270087][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/jADiJCw.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] Basically, just don't use the word "gamergate" and you can talk about all the corruption you want. I don't blame them for trying to prevent the drama that is happening all over the internet but they probably could have worded it better.

[QUOTE=Wii60;46270128][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/DxJgyU8.jpg[/IMG] why havent you listened and believed yet?[/QUOTE] That's fuck'd.

Are those claims unsourced though? It does seem like a theory, despite being based on probabilities and behavior patterns. Or was there an actual proof those threats were made by the persons themselves?

I'll be sending invites for the Google Hangout roughly 30 minutes before the Stream. That's in 2 hours. Be sure to check your inbox then, guys! [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyZOXaTDmRA[/url]

[QUOTE=Mecha Pirate;46268933][url]https://twitter.com/Gh0stP0litics[/url] Also this too? I got to there from one of the twitters.[/QUOTE] Uh, that's Ghost Politics dude, I'm not sure you're gonna get anywhere by even trying to interact with him, he's basically dead at this point. I don't even think Ghost himself runs that account anymore, just one of his fans putting on his persona.

Yeah, really excited for the Google Hangout stream! We'll be discussing a lot of interesting stuff

[QUOTE=Reimu;46270824]Yeah, really excited for the Google Hangout stream! We'll be discussing a lot of interesting stuff[/QUOTE] Like girls, and poker, and VHS tapes. And more in about 1 hour and a half. [editline]18th October 2014[/editline] Stream Link. [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyZOXaTDmRA[/url]

So wait, we're actually starting at 6pm EST? I think I mixed up my calculations, whoops!

I totes want in.

I have Google+ but I have never used it I'll be down for joining the chat if you don't mind me joining late got another three hours at work to go.

Up to minute 10 on part 1: [img]http://i.imgur.com/Oj86Lza.png[/img] Not as much progress as I would've hoped for, but slow and steady wins the race.

I was just thinking about this earlier today! No worries, I'm taking my time with Part 3 anyway.

polygon switched to adsense temporarily instead of partner advertising (adsense gives way less $$$ too) [URL]https://twitter.com/yesallgamers/status/523333479837470720/photo/1[/URL]

Everyone check our PMs please. Codemaster and Swilly included. We're starting in 10 minutes.

Hey I should just quickly say, if you've ran into anyone proclaiming to be GNAA, they're faking it, the GNAA haven't been active for a while and they haven't come back just to ruse this movement you guys have got going on, so yeah. Just saying.

Hitbox was just hacked, but it's back up. Ralph Retort was streaming at the time, still are. [url]http://www.hitbox.tv/theralphretort[/url] So the company that claimed the hack, Weak and Crays inc, left their email address. a quick whois gave a name, phone number, address. Ralph Retort is now investigating this company and names involved to see if they have ties to Games Journo Pros. And here... we... go!

We're live.
