Corruption in gaming journalism discussion and update thread.

[QUOTE=Ziron;46281139]Johnny boy is losing it on his Twitter by responding [citation needed] to every negative tweet he's getting, declaring GG over and that the anti-GG side won, and gushing about <3Kimeya-san<3 hating GG. I think people mocking him instead of praising what a brilliant feminist thinker he is has finally push him over the edge.[/QUOTE]ROFL

Anti-GG won, really? I guess nobody told us. :v:

Jonathan's making it increasingly obvious that Feminist Frequency is under his control. If Anita is to break away from him, she'd better do it fast.

[QUOTE=Jordax;46281350]And in an act that surprises absolutely no-one, the Anti-GG crowd is already using Sagal's suicide threat as ammunition against gamergate.

And it is also real assuring from the Anti-GG crowd that they are already treating Sagal as dead and are pinning it on us already.
The other trans dev was someone who had nothing to do with gamergate at all in the first place around a month ago. Didn't stop the Anti-GG crowd from trying to spin it against us.

Wow, and the first one didn't even have anything to do with #GamerGate.

Weaponizing dead people and suicides. I'd like to think we've hit bottom here and things can't get any more pathetic but then someone hits me with a shovel and tells me to get back to digging.

Anita has a pretty sweet deal; she collaborates with him and when it's time to make a video, she pretties up and rattles off his script. She gets money and recognition for it, so why stop now because her collaborator is having a mini-breakdown on Twitter?

[QUOTE=Tamschi;46281583]The first name is definitely the same, but I don't know if she's the same person.

[B][I]If[/I][/B] she's the one who did that Indiegogo she has quite the history of slander and blackmail by publicly threatening suicide.
(People actually had to call the cops on who ran that campaign.)

I was responding to a claim that she will eventually throw Jonathan under the bus.

What happened there?

[QUOTE=Géza!;46281940]What happened there?[/QUOTE]

giant bomb has a article saying they are anti gg

eron posted in the thread for it and it was coincidentally the last post in the thread

mod locked thread and deleted his post

Had to look it up on knowyourmeme which directed me to a wiki site I'd never heard of before- lurkmore.com:

An animated gif of Piccolo fucking Vegeta in the ass. Typically Piccolo Dick is posted to indicate a massive amount of epic fail, either in horrible threads or, if /v/ as a whole is sucking pretty bad, in a thread by itself. Despite being not work safe and not technically /v/ related, it has become one of the more amusing things on /v/ as of late. Also called the "Daily Dose" due to the fact that it usually gets posted at least once a day, often at a usual time.[/QUOTE]

Welp. I am literally out of websites where I can read about video games now.

Anyone got anything that isn't shit?

Go to gaming forums and never look back. I've relied on a mixture of Something Awful and FP for gaming news and info for several years, and I don't regret it one bit.

i've been far happier by not paying attention to anything about video games besides "its good" or "its bad" before playing and forums are a hella lot better way to determine if something is actually good or not

Goddamn I hope the appeal goes well for Eron.

I'm still laughing because if Zoe was the one who pursued this lawsuit, not only is she going to lose, she's also going to give so much ammunition to GG it's insane.

edit:
She essentially invited to law to look at the whole situation under a microscope, and that will [i]not[/i] go over well for them, considering the allegations of corruption.

[Miya]

georgina (the neutral feminist who got banned from the zoe quinn ama) was trying to get anti-gg people to help her with a future video

result:

I'm cautions, do not ever think an enemy that wants to be your enemy does not have a plan to counter you even if it's words of truth.

Siliconera.com, but it's pretty much only localized Japanese games.

someone please make a big collage of how friendly anti-gg is

[ithon]

This is me thinking, should there be more support groups like what TB does maybe we could create one for people either who've suffered abuse or GG focused.

Damn Gus, you cold.

Has anyone considered reaching out to their local news stations in order to properly educate some real journalists on GG as a whole? I've been thinking about it a lot lately, and I think if we created a cohesive analysis of the entire movement, from both perspectives, it might help spread the movement among people relevant to the cause. Not through it's topic, but through the profession itself.

Not much to say besides scummy piece of shit.

I sometimes try to think of how I would have been on the other side, how this whole thing looks from another perspective but honestly these people act like fucking scum. I don't think I could see it any other way than Pro GG.

All the corruption, all the lies and censorship, all the hate and spite they've thrown at us. I don't care if we win or lose, so long as there are still people that see that what they are doing is wrong.

Also an interview of both GG and AGG
[url]http://mangotron.com/pro-vs-anti-gamergate-two-interviews/[/url]
To sum it up here is a user comment
[quote] "Can't we just hug it out?"
ProGG: I wish!
AntiGG: For many, no.
I always like to stay neutral on things like these, so it is amazing that more media-outlets finally reach out to both sides of the fence.
But for me as a fencesitter, reading how the 2 interviewees answered, it makes me turn to the ProGG side pretty fast.
While one person here was on point, rational, uninsulting, the other was using buzzwords, double-standards and illogical fallacies en masse.

someone is opening a gg site soon

[URL]http://gamergate.me/[/URL]

its a legit site, made by the guy that did [url]http://gamergate.giz.moe/[/url]

[JesseR92]

Some of the more knowledgable should forward that tweet to reuters, cbc ,bbc, and al jahzeera. It isnt exactly a isolated incident in how gamers are treated so they can dig up more themselves.I wouldnt forward it to MSNBC CNN or FOX they seem complacent with listening to one side only as it aligns with their beliefs.

[Chamango]

Andrew Hussie (guy what does homestuck) seems to think gamergate is evil according to his twitter. Only a fraction of his fans will follow his twitter but I thought I'd mention it.

Now he's claiming his Twitter was hacked, and pro-GG photoshopped his posts as well:

Man, all these 5 minute, "pro-GG hacks" have been happening more and more recently. Always tend to spew racist/bigoted bullshit, and magically decide to give back the account.

Weird, right? /s
