Corruption in gaming journalism discussion and update thread. - General

[QUOTE=TheJoey;46271832][url]https://twitter.com/NotASkeleton_/status/523590332865585152[/url] @orthonormalist RR's stream got hacked. [url]http://www.hitbox.tv/embed/Theralphretort[/url] … hackers are dumb and they link to a French gaming PR company.[/QUOTE] Oooh, interesting. Do you know of partnerships between this PR company and any form of French gaming media? That might explain a few articles I've seen here.

So the creator of the webcomic NPC came out anti-GG.

[QUOTE=Fangz;46272063]So the creator of the webcomic NPC came out anti-GG.[/QUOTE] Never heard of it, and it's probably shit too. Right?

[QUOTE=Helix Snake;46270142]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] Yes, it's definitely a reasonable stance. It bans all the drama and smokescreens while still allowing the actual discussion.

angry joe finally noticed gamergate [URL]https://twitter.com/AngryJoeShow/with_replies[/URL]

Someone point him to the information before idiots go and idiot.

Too late. [url]https://twitter.com/AngryJoeShow/status/523604702467223552[/url]

That's absolutely unforgivable.

I feel ToddInTheShadows has [url=https://twitter.com/ShadowTodd/status/523546108329734144]manipulated this whole situation[/url]. as he was the one who set this off by dragging Jew Wario into this. [img]http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b196/Starmenclock/ToddSpeaksforthedead_zpsf4986cfb.png[/img]

[QUOTE=Teddybeer;46272989]Have a quick summary of how that went?[/QUOTE] anti-gg person didnt change their opinion about gg, but it was cool to see another viewpoint. discussed milo, 8chan and doxxing, etc. the youtube stream will have the entire argument in the comments

[QUOTE=Teddybeer;46272989]Have a quick summary of how that went?[/QUOTE] We all agreed that Facepunch is superior to other forums because you can give each other hearts and rainbows.

And because the mods are lazy.

whos lazy?

-snip makes no sense- [editline]18th October 2014[/editline] u dont count, crapt

[QUOTE=Craptasket;46273073]whos lazy?[/QUOTE] clearly you are, i mean just look at you, all bones n shit from sitting down doing nothing for eternity

[QUOTE=Wii60;46273008]anti-gg person didnt change their opinion about gg, but it was cool to see another viewpoint. discussed milo, 8chan and doxxing, etc. the youtube stream will have the entire argument in the comments[/QUOTE] It was a relatively good faith discussion, but I can't help be miffed that the guy was very intent on saying that making GG an organised movement with a leader and such (which he claimed was possible) would increase accountability and stop harassment and death threats from the GG side (without properly saying how or why). He also ended the discussion by saying that game journalism websites will never follow proper ethics. I appreciate a discussion between the sides of this issue but he was very dismissive (especially of GG's anti-harassment stance)

[QUOTE=xxncxx;46273097]clearly you are, i mean just look at you, all bones n shit from sitting down doing nothing for eternity[/QUOTE] literally lazy bones

[QUOTE=xxncxx;46273097]clearly you are, i mean just look at you, all bones n shit from sitting down doing nothing for eternity[/QUOTE] It's a good diet

[QUOTE=Teddybeer;46273121]Our benevolent leader Craptasket the 1st is unable to be lazy and is always energized. Sounds like the same old same old.[/QUOTE] i think i might have found a leaked pic of craptasket then: [img]http://www.skinbase.org/files/archive/shots/107/electric_bones.jpg[/img] anyways on topic, how many advertisers have dropped from gawker since that whole bullying tweet shit happened?

i can vouch for him

I find the amount of skeletons on this page alarming.

I like how we talked 45 (?) minutes about the ZQ post when I only wanted to use it as an entry topic. :v: It really shows how complex GG is. edit: Time to go to bed and dream about spooky skeletons and food plans.

Fun fact: While the stream was happening, I was playing Killing Floor. Anyway the stream was fun, would join again.
