Corruption in gaming journalism discussion and update thread. - General

So uh... [img]http://38.media.tumblr.com/7afe2595a33962cab123e54bb6c70b93/tumblr_n8ruthNdGb1rskoybo1_1280.png[/img] I'm not one for harrasement and this is some proof. But that ending.

[QUOTE=Ganerumo;45846724]And then there's people on the other side who immediately label such people as SJWs and idiots even though most of them are just misinformed and trying to do good in the wrong place.[/QUOTE] With the amount of information being thrown around, you have to be an idiot or a SJW to be on "the other side". Alternatively, they just don't care enough to look stuff up, in which case, they shouldn't voice an opinion.

[QUOTE=Swilly;45846865]So uh... I'm not one for harrasement and this is some proof. But that ending.[/QUOTE] That ending seems sarcastic tho.

[QUOTE=Swilly;45846865]So uh... I'm not one for harrasement and this is some proof. But that ending.[/QUOTE] I guess it's considered harassment, but it's pretty tame to be honest.

[QUOTE=gudman;45846928]That ending seems sarcastic tho.[/QUOTE] Doesn't matter if it's satire or not, they'll use anything to fuel their fires.

It was meant as a joke.

[QUOTE=Swilly;45847073]It was meant as a joke.[/QUOTE] I got it. It's just that Anita doesn't understand what "unironically" means... Doesn't mean she should be subject to that stupidity.

Hell the better course of action IMO would've been to just move the SH thread into GD, but oh well.

Also contact coca-cola about how the game journalists are bashing the word "Gamer" Guess who is advertising their stuff with the word "Gamer" on it? [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/5xI5jgC.jpg[/IMG]

I'm sorry but why does this even need a thread ? This is the kind of crap I expect someone to go post on FB.

[QUOTE=Neddy;45847206]I'm sorry but why does this even need a thread ? This is the kind of crap I expect someone to go post on FB.[/QUOTE] Because there's not alot of places to talk about it online. The only two places i know to have uncensored discussions about it are here and 4chan.

[QUOTE=Wii60;45847218]Because there's not alot of places to talk about it online. The only two places i know to have uncensored discussions about it are here and 4chan.[/QUOTE] I'm sorry but when does someones personal life need 'discussions' or to be 'talked about'

[QUOTE=Neddy;45847206]I'm sorry but why does this even need a thread ? This is the kind of crap I expect someone to go post on FB.[/QUOTE] Why exactly shouldn't a community centered on gaming be having a discussion about corrupt games journalism and feminists misrepresent the gaming community to demonize it?

[QUOTE=Neddy;45847246]I'm sorry but when does someones personal life need 'discussions' or to be 'talked about'[/QUOTE] we are way past zoe quinn at this point, she was mainly the catalyst that started this whole "Game Journalists VS Gamer" clusterfuck.

[QUOTE=Neddy;45847246]I'm sorry but when does someones personal life need 'discussions' or to be 'talked about'[/QUOTE] Oh for christ sake, you probably skimmed the first post and thought it was only about Zoe, [B]It's not.[/B] It's about people getting sick of the bullshit that a huge part of the Indie Scene and Game Journalism has been pulling.

[QUOTE=Neddy;45847246]I'm sorry but when does someones personal life need 'discussions' or to be 'talked about'[/QUOTE] Amazing how you havent paid attention to a single thing when deciding to post in this thread. How about, before you make your next post, most likely containing no knowledge on the subject at hand, you actually read up about whats happening. Some effort is all im asking, god damn.

[QUOTE=Neddy;45847246]I'm sorry but when does someones personal life need 'discussions' or to be 'talked about'[/QUOTE] Read the thread.

Christ man, this is literally the first thing you see on the first page. [img]http://i.imgur.com/eI1c0zf.png[/img] How did you not notice this.

Someone needs to link the locked thread and so everytime someone comes walking in with 5 day old news we can just slap them with the link.

[QUOTE=Neddy;45847246]I'm sorry but when does someones personal life need 'discussions' or to be 'talked about'[/QUOTE] It's not just someone's personal life anymore. The Zoepost, which was a call out about an abusive dev in the industry, led to the entire independent gaming journalism industry shitting all over itself like a baby. This basically resulted in writers publicly saying that gamers are a dying breed, that they're all manchildren and fat neckbeards who hate women, that they wish they could kill gamers with their block list, telling people to die, yelling all sorts of weird insults over twitter, doxxing people, comparing gamers to ISIS, telling feminist charity donators that they are giving away "blood money," and having twitter supporters rush in with uncalled for insults whenever their celebs get into a fight. The gaming journalism industry basically shot themselves in the foot, and their writers are too immature to realize that they're crossing a line. It's like Coca-Cola selling you a soda and then posting on twitter, "You all are fucking idiots for buying our product." Also, after Zoe's boyfriend came out, other people started to come out about Zoe and the people around her. From a feminist charity implicating Zoe in $10,000 worth of damages, to a new survivor calling out Zoe's PR rep for also being an abuser. So the cycle is starting to continue and more people are getting called out. It's like walking in for a 1hr movie and getting stuck in the movie theater for 2 weeks. Just when you think it's bad enough, someone makes it worse.

[QUOTE=Neddy;45847246]I'm sorry but when does someones personal life need 'discussions' or to be 'talked about'[/QUOTE] It isn't really about Zoe Quinn anymore, it's about the obvious corruption in gaming journalism. The whole five guys thing is just what brought it to people's attention and the reason why people are trying to turn it into an argument about misogyny.

Ooooooooh. OOoooooooooooOOOOoh. Shits gonna get real...again. Man shit's gotten real too many times with this. Keeping it real gone wrong.

I don't think it gets more clear than this, that this is past Zoe Quinn now and is an issue with gaming journalism. At this point, people in the "pro-Quinn" camp are no longer "pro-Quinn", they're pro-corruption/nepotism/everything else to do with this sordid affair.

Also, speaking of the restaurant: the most ironic thing about all this is that I can't even go to Five Guys, because I'm allergic nuts, and they use nuts all over that restaurant. I think that's a metaphor for something. Take it as you will.

Somebody is grumpy.

They're free and contained in a singular area as well as there being a drive thru. You could easily get it dude.
