Corruption in gaming journalism discussion and update thread. - General

[QUOTE=_Axel;46392020]Who gives a shit honestly. If he wants to support GG, let him. Besides, your attitude of "You brought it upon yourself because your let them state their opinion." is retarded. We're not some authoritarian movement which censors its supporters nor do we have the power to do such thing anyway.[/QUOTE] I'm 99% sure that the guy you are talking too is a shill. Look at his post history. [QUOTE=Manibogi;46365893]GG is divided into those who genuinely support the whole "let's fix journalism" thing and those who just use it as an excuse to attack feminists and SJWs. Anti-GG only focuses on the latter and ignores the former.[/QUOTE] etc goes on and on. Don't fool him.

I didn't say you should've censored them, I said you shouldn't have given them so much praise/attention. Completely different things.

Stop using those dumb words in place of actual counter-arguments.

Kingofpol gone haywire, blockin tons of people and everything due to [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bO6bO6G98l4"]what happened at the batshit IA Non-serious lazy saturday stream last night.[/URL] that whole lazy saturday stream is pure insanity.

I've found you to be duplicitous in this whole thing. One moment you'll be swinging for one side, then the next you can't stand that side and you're coming down hard on them. I haven't trusted you at all in this.

Both sides do bad things and good things. I'm just here to give you a neutral opinion and to tell you guys when you do something dumb or hypocritical so that you don't go down the path of stupidity like IA and KoP did. Or at least I try to.

[QUOTE=Manibogi;46392081]Stop putting words in my mouth. I didn't say you should've censored them, I said you shouldn't have given them so much praise/attention.

Really expected better from these people, they are in no way the leaders but they are in a way GG's most vocal representatives. Cut the shit, cut the infighting, save it for later.

Him being nutty isn't really surprising.

kingofpol is gonna do a GG stream at 3PM EST dont know why after the retardation that was last night but ok.

[QUOTE=Wii60;46392425]kingofpol is gonna do a GG streamin at 3PM EST[/QUOTE] He'll block the chat. Btw jesus that stream. Second-hand embarrassment is real. People weren't joking [editline]2nd November 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=Wii60;46392425] dont know why after the retardation that was last night but ok.[/QUOTE] That's actually okay. It would reinforce that what happened wasn't at all GG-related. At least that saves him some points. That might not work for aGG, but it's an honest move at least.

Whatever Kingofpol can talk about whatever the hell he feels like it doesnt change much of anything like last nights stream didnt change much of anything. Stop trying to pin leaders to something that has none,or try and classify this unorganized mess as a movement.

[QUOTE=zerothefallen;46389064]Just asked the lead client engineer of Riot Games on skype about this. This guy is a no-name player-support and doesnt represent Riot Games at all. His 'colleagues' are people who dont care enough about gg (which a majority of the internet doesnt either) Good job finding some some stupid shit to bag on a company of over 1000 people you know nothing about lmao. oh, ps kane. Tell me your league username and I'll see why you were banned personally. They dont permaban people for flaming/threatening others. Unless ya feel like your little anecdote is enough? :^)[/QUOTE] Fuck if I remember what it was, it was four years ago when I was starting to get bored with StarCraft. It's probably the same as my username here. I'm not the only one who's been banned by that guy for shitty reasons either: [t]http://i.imgur.com/YRAfE.jpg[/t] I'm sure everyone remembers this one. [editline]2nd November 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=zerothefallen;46389882]That's the literally, #1 most shared around img and given without context The stupid fuck was trolling and playing ranked mode, and needed a champion, so he just randomed something. It's against the ToS to 1. Troll 2. Not try your best in ranked 3. Purposely attempt to undermine others. Dont bring up 2010 old stupid shit thats been spouted again and again edit: If you dont play league, its much harder to see why he was banned.[/QUOTE] You just told me that they don't ban for bad language or chat behavior and now you say they do? Lol make up your mind [editline]2nd November 2014[/editline] I haven't seen such fanboyism in a while

Are we gonna start arguing about LoL bans because of something that was already proven wrong? Great.

[QUOTE=Ayane-152;46391422]Annnd KoP is completely losing it on Twitter, putting in the #Gamergate hashtag. :suicide: edit He is now blocking anyone that calls out on his bullshit [t]http://i.imgur.com/M9nTCw2.jpg[/t][/QUOTE] It wouldn't be so bad if he owned up to it, but he's now much like one of the a-GGer's in his blocking any dissenting opinions. We should immediately separate ourselves from this clearly not stable guy.

What kind of a big baby blocks people online anyway.

I know I'd go in full damage control mode and do a lot of stupid shit. Not an excuse still, though.

Okay, just finished watching that stream. It was hilarious, I mean IA was true to the title, it was just a stream shooting shit while drinking. KingofPol was a fucking retard through and through, and went waaaaayy off track, but pretty much no one agreed with him and even told him to shut up, and by the end they were ridiculing, laughing at him. TL;DR KingofPol is a retard

[QUOTE=dilzinyomouth;46390443]For fucks sake Did anyone else listen to the latest livestream? [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjXBLs5WxWQ[/url] What a fucking trainwreck Heres a summary for those who dont want to listen to the whole thing: The two chicks on the stream spend an inordinate amount of time discussing the taste of cum, IA is drunk and starts fucking his girlfriend, cue loud moans occasionally cutting in for the remainder of his podcast as he occasionally forgets to turn his audio off or doesnt realize his mic is hot, and worst of all KingofPol goes full retard and starts sperging out about and screaming "I want to redpill you man i need to redpill you man" and starts spouting holocaust denial shit and aliens while people nervously laugh in an attempt to get him to shut the fuck up, with even Sargon finally reaching his tether and telling him to stop talking, but like the awkward retard he is, he can't take a fucking hint. Jesus christ, the antiGGers are going to have a field day with this. Kingofpol just couldnt contain his retardation.[/QUOTE] If only we had Adam Baldwin talking about how Obama's a Kenyan or how vaccines cause autism, it would be a perfect shitstorm.

[QUOTE=Raidyr;46391930]Milo fucking hates people who call themselves gamers and wrote like two articles, who cares?[/QUOTE] He wrote an article about a mailing list that looks to show collusion to smear the gamer identity,other than that he seems to be doing interviews.So he really isnt doing much. We arnt in a position to tell others what they do and do not believe in so its not as if we can control who says or does what in terms of the whole situation ,all we can do is report voice opinions,inform advertisers,and try and cull trolls sending threats.

Huh, infighting on both sides of GG then. This really has gone on for too long.

apparently internet aristocrat did a bad thing. what happened?

[QUOTE=Dermock;46392945]apparently internet aristocrat did a bad thing. what happened?[/QUOTE] He made a public drunk-stream where KingOfPol completely fucking lost his shit started redpilling Sargon about holocaust and aliens (I didn't say Hitler did nothing wrong, Hitler did do some wrong...), where he himself was rather loudly fucking his girlfriend... And then didn't delete it, and it's public. I'm listening to it right now. Man it's fucking embarrassing. [editline]2nd November 2014[/editline] what does redpilling even mean. Is it literally like, the Matrix?

[QUOTE=Dermock;46392945]apparently internet aristocrat did a bad thing. what happened?[/QUOTE] King of POL is going full retard, IA had a lazy stream where there was a lot of giggling and discussion on improving the taste of cum, and some other less important topics

[QUOTE=Dermock;46392945]apparently internet aristocrat did a bad thing. what happened?[/QUOTE] He had a stream with KingofPol where you could hear his girlfriend sucking his dick before he started fucking her. Some girls had a 5 minute discussion on how to improve the taste of cum, another kept saying "AYYY LMAO" through the whole thing and KingofPol started talking about the "holohoax", how aliens could fuck us up and a whole lot of other shit before another guest told him to shut up before he kept embarrasing himself.

[QUOTE=zerothefallen;46389117]No, Im just actually caring about a game I play and I think they are incorrect. I dont have the authority/havent asked to say if he'd be punished or not, and i also think he's being a dipshit, but bagging on the entire company is a dick move.[/QUOTE] Riot has done a lot worse before, I used to be on there forums 24/7 and played LoL a lot at the start and a for few years later. Lots of lying, lots of bullshit, just all around stupid things by Riot. Havent touched LoL in years but I still see some images that get made pointing out how shit Riot is from time to time so im assuming they are still pretty shit. That said, I have always heard working at Riot is actually really good and not some work camp shithole type of company.

Okay, I think its time to shove these idiots into a corner and leave them there. Except Sargon who seems to still have his head screwed on right.

KoP must be fun at parties. Imagine wanting to talk about aliens and holohoax, jews and all that kind of stupid shit when you're drunk. I mean, I'm in shock from this stream. I can get saying stupid shit for the purposes of entertainment, but man, when you're drunk off your ass and claim to be honest? Nazi jews from outer space invading earth, concentration camps layout, time for a human body to fully burn, radiation destroying atoms and shit, resources?..
