Corruption in gaming journalism discussion and update thread. - General

[QUOTE=Steel & Iron;45876785]There sure are a lot of people who are liking the gaming community to Bane.[/QUOTE]It's actually kind of amusing how well this particular version of Bane works from the perspective of either extreme. From one end it's a straight white male with an unseen-but-undoubtably-disgusting face who spins conspiracy narratives to recruit a standing army of terrorists and the mentally unsound against the forces of justice. From the other end it's an almost entirely traitless person whose motives have been completely misunderstood from the very first step; rallying allies and members of the community through exposes of longstanding corruption and the touting of fake heroes to have a go at toppling something which has kept power through fear and many connections with important people. And from either side, it's hell-bent on crashing this thing. Preferably with no survivors.

Ugh. I'm reading through all of this and dreading going back to university (U of T) in a week. Remember all of those videos of those people shouting at each other during those MRA conferences? Yeah, that's my school. Thankfully the History and German departments are generally free of these kinds of people, but radical SJWs tend to be everywhere one way or another. I want to meet new people this year and share interests on things - like video games. I really don't want to have to engage with people who advocate for the SJWs and hackneyed journalists in this kerfuffle.

[QUOTE=Wii60;45877305] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/DlY0lWH.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] This pic is going to come back to bite her in the ass at some point.

Zoe Quinn should cuckold that can of Coke by drinking some Pepsi in front of it. I'm sure it'd come natural to her.

I've been out of this too long. I go on /v/ and everyone's taling about Adam Baldwin fighting Senator Armstrong. I need some pieces here.

[QUOTE=Reimu;45877762]snipped[/QUOTE] snipped since quote was snipped

[QUOTE=Wii60;45877745]tell 4chan about it they love this shit im not gonna post about it tho because i dont post on 4chan, only lurk[/QUOTE] Maybe, but I don't think anyone on 4chan would be in support of a trigger warning website whoever made it or however it was structured, so it may not be very helpful to get them involved. Best put I'd say they're more in favour of exposure therapy for dealing with those kind of issues, ideological differences and all.

Only information I could find was that the domain was registered on February 20th 2014.

This is really ironic considering The Verge is a sister publication to Polygon: [url]http://www.theverge.com/2014/9/2/6083647/facebook-s-report-abuse-button-has-become-a-tool-of-global-oppression[/url]

False alarm. Someone reached out to me on SRSGaming and told me that this has been in the planning for 6 months. Gonna snip out the rest of the stuff cause no hard feelings and I don't want to spread misinformation.

so are we winning, cause I'm reading and it seems like thigns are getting worse and also this is being written by hideo kojima

nobody wins an argument on the internet
