Corruption in gaming journalism discussion and update thread. - General

[QUOTE=Heldure;46363602]dont tell me what I would do. and the anti-gg crowd already said what they're here for.[/QUOTE] So you wouldn't get angry if someone told you you're not in your right state of mind?

[QUOTE=Xenomoose;46362602][video=youtube;MpmIrWqEUUU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpmIrWqEUUU[/video] TB actually had a sit-down with Stephen Totilo. Progress?[/QUOTE] I'm very happy that this is a thing. It's a really long talk though so I'll finish the final 45 minutes tomorrow but so far I'm glad that someone was willing to have a civil discussion.

[QUOTE=Heldure;46360476]Oh man, so he offered to drop the charges if she would just apologize and move on? and she didnt? haha [img]http://puu.sh/cv89X/fefa8406f2.png[/img] Sounds more like he's actually going to sue and its not a threat. I would look for a lawyer rather than crying on twitter more.[/QUOTE] Was this tweet deleted? I can't find it, but it's not exactly out of line with her style. [URL="https://archive.today/vYw0b"]She still has the post encouraging police reports pinned :suicide:[/URL]

yes she deleted it. I screencapped it on puush initially. also if you go on her twitter there is a tweet she retweeted that was more than likely connected to that original tweet since clicking view conversation brings you only to the retweet rather than showing you both.

[QUOTE=Ziron;46360530]She probably thought it was just internet tough guy postering. I think she's realized that he's completley serious and that she can be charged with a real crime now, but it's too late.[/QUOTE] She still continues to insult him. Either she really doesn't get it or is super-rich or planning to bankrupt via attorney.

[QUOTE=Tetsmega;46361946]That argument still baffles me to this day.Where's the logic in the claim that playing games makes you a gamer? If you rode a bike everyday, that doesn't make you a biker. Riding trains or subways every day doesn't make you a train enthusiast. Really the argument equivocates consumer with the title of the hobby's enthusiast. I know i'm preaching to the choir, but I just wanted to bring it up because someone might be able to give me the basis for that argument(if there even is one).[/QUOTE] Extremely relevant: [URL="http://kazerad.tumblr.com/post/99894002228/words"]Kazerad: Words[/URL]

I missed the topic about what being a gamer actually is earlier due to my phone thinking facepunch was a file format. For me being a gamer means you play games for enjoyment talk to others who play games take part in gaming culture,you could play nothing but angry birds but immerse yourself in the gaming community and be more of a gamer than someone who spends every waking minute in game but never interacts with the community or culture at all.

Oh god Anita was on the Colbert report, please tell me they made her look like an idiot

Jesus Christ. Not even a shred of self-awareness. Hey public media piece. I'm entitled to do almost whatever I want with your articles the moment they are publicly posted. Including making a quote with referential links (which archived articles, technically, are) and your consent means fuck all.[/QUOTE] It depends on the country. Here in Germany some (really idiotic) publisher groups have pushed through legislation that can even make it illegal to quote the headline. Seriously. They did this so they could extort money from Google, to which Google responded by almost removing their sites from the index. Backpedalling ensued.

There's absolutely no way they will roast or make a fool out of any SJW. Every single interview they get, they are babied and pampered.

For some reason I'm in this hardcore secretive feminism group on facebook and they've been discussing GG and I feel they're really anti I want to make a post seeing what they say but I fear I could get removed and won't be able to see their hilarious post on cultural appropriation All whites speaking on behalf of other cultures they don't belong in yet they don't see it as a bad thing Supposedly having dreadlocks makes you a racist, I learn something new everyday

[QUOTE=Teddybeer;46363684]Just being a young adult hoping to bluff her way out.[/QUOTE] I thought that at first, but apparently she went to college and has been doing this for almost a week(?) now. There is just no way anyone could assume continuously creating even more evidence of wrongdoing is a good idea.

[QUOTE=Pteradactyl;46363957]There's absolutely no way they will roast or make a fool out of any SJW. Every single interview they get, they are babied and pampered.[/QUOTE] I agree that the chances of these people getting a pie in the face in any situation is nearly zero, but imagine how satisfying it would be to see. It's not like their arguments aren't easily-refutable and hilariously-nonsensical/hypocritical, they've just been pampered and treated like an entire culture of poor little victims for ages. The only shield that hypocritical manipulative sacks of shit like ZQ and possibly Anita (haven't seen enough of her material to fairly pass judgement) have is emotional manipulation and hiding behind cries of "I'M A VICTIM", despite wanting damsels gone and replaced with intelligent females that don't have to manipulate or be saved by others to succeed. I think I'll die of asphyxiation from laughing too hard if Colbert actually roasts Anita for the world to see. I know it's too much to hope that she has an on-set breakdown like most of the SJWs on Twitter that gets aired, but God would that be satisfying.

What?

I'm listening to the Totilo interview; and I'm not finished, but I'm already disliking how much is being brushed off with variations of "This person is legit, trust me on this." The audience you've come to the table to talk with have been told that they're everything terrible under the sun by your associates, your subordinates, and you employers. For months. Your word on their integrity isn't going to do [i]shit[/i]

Yeah, I doubt it'll be a roast. Colbert's persona on that show is a satire on conservative thoughts, so he's going to use that to take on what he thinks will be GG's viewpoint and set up Anita to make whatever retorts she has and everyone will applaud because "misogyny". These things are pre-recorded, right? She seemed pretty confident in her tweets. If it's pre-recorded, then that's pretty much proof that this is going to be a GG slander piece. God damn, and here I was hoping that TB's chat with Totilo was a sign that things were going to get better.

I know I wouldn't.

Typical muhsoggy stuff?

[QUOTE=Manibogi;46364172]Can't blame the guy for it. Would you trust an anonymous person on the internet over a co-worker who is also a friend of yours? I know I wouldn't.[/QUOTE] I can blame him. Like he says somewhere in the interview, he encourages people to place FEELINGS over anything else first. Instead of doing actual reporting he says they should report on the reality of what they felt like while researching that subject. This to me already says everything I need to know about why this entire thing is happening. For instance, TB said Patricia should apologize and he just disagreed with him by saying it would shame her more than do any good. What kind of logic is that? There's no logic, there's just placing FEELINGS first. It's just a retarded mindset that, as shown by gamergate's existence, does more harm than good. Despite all this the guy seems pretty OK. He just has a warped world view that doesn't always consider a bigger more objective picture.

Things will only get worse before they get better, believe me. Fuck, I really need to set aside a captioning marathon time.

[QUOTE=Manibogi;46364172]Can't blame the guy for it. Would you trust an anonymous person on the internet over a co-worker who is also a friend of yours? I know I wouldn't.[/QUOTE] There's a difference between trusting someone and blindly believing everything they say. No, I wouldn't trust a friend over an anonymous person if the latter had compelling evidence of said friend being dishonest. Nobody believes Totilo is clean on this issue, anyway. I doubt someone with his responsibilities would be oblivious to everything happening around him.

[QUOTE=gudman;46360380]I don't care what this means, it looks absolutely awesome.[/QUOTE] It means that GG is more democratic. And that AGG is very centralized and authoritarian network, that theres literally one and very load person who more or less leads the whole thing.

should I host a stream thrusday? mentioned 2min screen time the interviews from the person on tyt network boogie on event tb interview colbert I bet if a far enough people join a stream I would host we could talk just two subjects for hours. The TB interview I could go on and on and I bet you there will be more to talk about saturday.

can someone link me to one of Anita's golden tweets, I need it for laughing reasons

[QUOTE=DuCT;46364240]What kind of stuff do they post about GG? Typical muhsoggy stuff?[/QUOTE] just articles from questionable sources going "WHAT THE FUCK" They don't say much and its only 1 or 2 people who pay attention, so I'm going to guess GG isn't a huge issue to them

So is anyone going to watch the Colbert Report tonight to give everyone a heads up what happens?
