Though from what I understand this is making fun of Buzzfeed? If so that makes sense.

[editline]22nd October 2014[/editline] how has nobody grilled her on this? every time I see these with less than 30 second screencaps I become even more sure that these are being fabricated.

Not even Sweden is safe from this horror. [quote]Tomorrow at 7.20PM me and @HannaFriden will talk about Gamergate and the harassment again women in the gamingworld in @gomorronsvergie (Swedish TV show). Will probably end up good.

So Gawker has graduated from a troubled news source into a full fledged hate site .They continually post articles claiming "look at those people sent they horrible arnt they gross better hate them or you are one of them ". Going to track down examples for my rebuttal tonight.

[QUOTE=Teddybeer;46305074]You can be on one and still criticize both.[/QUOTE] Liana tried exactly that, then Anti-GG lashed out at her when she criticized them. It's why she's neutral now.

Fucking livid right now. AGG is making false news tweets trying to blame GG for today's shooting at Parliament hill. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/O3ewchE.jpg[/IMG]

The 2nd community stream will be happening in exactly 3 days from now on, that's 10pm BST/britbong time. [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynDCUi2sjwI[/url] [video=youtube;ynDCUi2sjwI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynDCUi2sjwI[/video] I still have some topics to discuss but if you have anything feel free to post it here in this thread.

i am fucking livid that they're eating this shit up right now

[t]http://i.imgur.com/O3ewchE.jpg[/t][/QUOTE] This is pointless, these are random trolls faking shit to stir the pot up. Check their twitters, it's ALL they do. This does not represent anti-gg at all, neither does random tweets from our side, either.

Has Gamergate's aim ever been to actually censor somebody? As far as I know, there haven't been any DDoSes of news sites, and from my knowledge we've only been asking advertisers to withdraw because the people who run these sites are encouraging abuse and bullying. I have genuinely only ever seen censorship against GG.

[QUOTE=Wii60;46305520][url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#Nip_Gamergate_in_the_bud[/url] Ryulong can't stop acting retarded[/QUOTE] Aaaaand you know he'll win. If that twitter wall is any judge GG is already doomed because the mainstream media, and the only "reputable sources", are already taking up a biased SJW narrative and convincing anyone outside the controversy that everyone on the other side is a basement-dwelling neckbeard manchild. It's sad, but it's inevitable.

I would really like to imagine the heads of wikipedia being incredibly intelligent and I hope they dont do anything that would make me think otherwise.

I'm for more inclusion and diversity in the industry/hobby, and I'm for better ethics in game journalism. What's so hard to understand about that? Having said that, I can understand why people want to keep it around. I just think it wouldn't be so easy for them to lump us all together if we weren't under a single banner. I think, above all else, I'm just really sick of the fucking names they come up with for us.

[QUOTE=Thlis;46305653]Splitting ranks is the worst thing possible right now.[/QUOTE] that's exactly what anti gg is hoping for. it would be far easier to have infighting occur when you have 2 or 3 groups trying to fight for similar things. they'll be more likely to argue with each other than those who oppose them.

[QUOTE=Teddybeer;46305659]You dared to give your opinion on the talk page. How could you... you monster.[/QUOTE] I guess SPA = somebody who gives an opinion on a talk page.

I'm not gonna lie. Wikipedia is great, until you realize the stupidity on it. Like a page, about a war, that never fucking happened.

[QUOTE=Thlis;46305653]Splitting ranks is the worst thing possible right now.[/QUOTE]Because the divided are easier to conquer right? Like I said, I get the reasoning for staying together, I just hate how easy it makes things for the media when it comes to saying shit like "gamergaters are worse than ISIS." Quite sick of the tantrum throwing in game journalism. In any other career, these assholes would have been fired MONTHS ago. Specially in the case of Gawker. How many advertisers have they lost now? Four?

What the chances of a publisher to come back to Gawker? Because from a non-business perspective, this seems all too easy.

The media [I]loves[/I] it when they can easily label groups. That's why on the last page I said we shouldn't call ourselves GGers or Gamergaters. It just makes it easier for them. We're gamers.

[QUOTE=Swilly;46305755]I'm not gonna lie. Wikipedia is great, until you realize the stupidity on it. Like a page, about a war, that never fucking happened.[/QUOTE] Wikipedia is good for things which can be cited as definitive facts. It is horrible for things outside that realm.

I understand the point behind staying united and solidified, it is much more difficult to conquer a force that is united in goals. I just don't like how easy it makes the media's work when it comes to labeling people they don't know or understand.
