Nobody will want to sponsor you when they see you and your co workers are total twats.

Okay, time to cheer up a little: Max Read just published yet another anti-GG article about Gamergate. The comparison insult of today is fascists. It is absolutely chockful of hateful vitriol towards gamergate and everyone who is in support of it. Including companies that have pulled out from anti-GG sites for one reason of another. Here's the link: [url]https://archive.today/IPkRU[/url] On Operation Disrespectful Nod: [QUOTE] Transparent and documented though it was, the obsessive campaign worked. Mercedes-Benz—listed on the site as a former partner, and therefore a target—briefly paused its ads on a network that serves ads to Gawker. I've been told that we've lost thousands of dollars already, and could potentially lose thousands more, if not millions.[/QUOTE] [U]Mails are really working, people![/U] A shining example of Read's utter rage can be seen here: [QUOTE]Unable to run Alexander out of game writing, as they had with the writer Jenn Frank, or force her from her home, as they did to the developer Brianna Wu, or threaten her from public engagements, as they did the following week to the critic and activist Anita Sarkeesian, Gamergate went after her publisher. And, in an unbelievable and embarrassing act of ignorance and cowardice, Intel capitulated. The company's laughable "apology," released late on that Friday afternoon, didn't cover up the fact of Gamergate's victory: Intel was not replacing its ads. Failing to adequately cover this act of spinelessness was the first big fuck-up we at Gawker committed. Intel surrendered to the worst kind of dishonesty, and we allowed it to do so without ever calling it out. So let's say it now: Intel is run by craven idiots. It employs pusillanimous morons. It lacks integrity. It folded to misogynists and bigots who objected to a woman who had done nothing more than write a piece claiming a place in the world of video games. And even when confronted with its own thoughtlessness and irresponsibility, it could not properly right its wrongs. [/QUOTE] They are complaining that Intel pulled their ads from gamasutra in what is a really insulting way. But here comes the big part: [B]Intel is still sponsoring Gawker Media at this point.[/B] They are practically shitting one of their remaining sponsors in the mouth now! And wouldn't it be a shame for them that we are going to inform Intel of this quality Gawker article? So, you know what to do and to keep doing: E-Mail the offending sites' sponsors! In this case, send e-mails to Intel about this article. Show the other sponsors that Gawker does not deserve any kind of sponsoring. (Like showing Sam Biddle's tweets promoting bullying. During International Bullying Prevention Month.) Do not let em get away with this!

Im going to bet a York peppermint on intel pulling ads within the next day. I've never seen a group of people so capable of shooting themselves in the foot as these. also I like how Mercedes-Benz "briefly paused" but didnt pull advertising.

I swear that anti-GG people act like they're still posting on message boards in the early 2000s, where writing stupid and inflammatory shit was commonplace. It's 2014 and you're posting under your real name on Twitter or writing articles on news sites; you really should realize that what you say is taken seriously and watched like a hawk by others. You can't weasel your way out of it by saying "oh that wasn't me!!" or "it was just a joke!" when your real name is on it.

[QUOTE=Thlis;46305268]Fucking livid right now. AGG is making false news tweets trying to blame GG for today's shooting at Parliament hill.

[editline]22nd October 2014[/editline] Is there still a way to view all images posted in the thread without going through every page there was a lot of useful content posted here.

It'd be amazing if Nintendo, Sony, or Microsoft were for gamergate. I would guarantee that if Microsoft's stance was pro-gamergate, that xbone sales would spike up.

If intel pulls out from gawker I'm buying an i7.

[QUOTE=01271;46307171]If intel pulls out from gawker I'm buying an i7.[/QUOTE]Not if, but when. Gawker just slandered the shit out of Intel. Don't expect Intel to stay with them much longer. In fact, I'd put money on them pulling out tomorrow, if not before the weekend.

Trying to convince someone so dug in to thinking that GG is just about harassing is a lot harder thst i tuought it would, even if im cooperating with someone else. If he sends me another article from The Guardian, i'm going to be slightly annoyed because me and that someone else have given him so much information... (perhaps too much information) I might be missing something but, most GG supporting articles are from more independent news outlets, third parties anyway. I don't imagine there being any more mainstream pro-GG articles, is there? What do i need to do, concentrate on the positives that GG has done? He can't seem to stop going on about just the damn harassment on fememists.
