[QUOTE=Manibogi;46391845]Aside from TB they get the most attention in the movement.

Let me rephrase then. I haven't seen anything about the stream on anywhere that it matters on KiA (as in, the first couple of pages). None of those threads have more then 10 karma.

[QUOTE=27X;46395136]who is "you people" because "you people" isn't me[/QUOTE] When did I say "you people"?

here's something a little more infuriating: [url]https://archive.today/HheKV[/url] "Gawker Media Owner: High Journalistic Standards Are Lame, Invasions of Privacy are "Liberating" to the Victims, My Dream is to Create a Website Where Everyone - Not Just Public Figures - Are Humiliated Publically" [quote]Yeah, the founding myth of Gawker happens to be true. I was a journalist at the Financial Times. Whenever you work at a newspaper, particularly a newspaper with high standards, you’re struck ...[/quote] [quote]It’s the essence of all meaningful gossip. That’s why this discussion system, Kinja, is so important. It actually allows us to fulfill our original objective, which is to treat everybody equally, to find interesting stories wherever they are, not just if a celebrity is involved. That’s not economical with paid journalists doing all the work. We need reader help. If we’re covering you, we need your colleagues to rat you out or your exes to put in bits and pieces. It has to be a collaborative effort.[/quote] so, zoepost on a grander scale, except it's endorsed by gawker media :^) [editline]2nd November 2014[/editline] here's more: [url=http://anonymousdeveloper.tumblr.com/]How journalists ruined a game and the developer's life because they didn't like the content.[/url] also also [img]http://i.imgur.com/9cUqV69.png[/img]

the entire opposition to gamergate is based on the fallacy of guilt by association. You guys are getting it your wires crossed when you say that "they make us look bad". Is guilt by association a valid way to think or not? If it's not, then tell anyone who gives a fuck to fuck off. This isn't a PR war we can win by attempting to use the same tactics and mindset. We can't just spin the truth as they do and raw fact alone often gets dismissed, if you convince people that an entire way of looking at is is wrong by explanation, that's a whole lot more effective, people like to understand things. What's held this together is objective reasoning against an immeasurably stupid force and there's no reason to stop now.

Either a gamergater will figure it out, or in about 4-6 days some AGG will figure it and now the narrative is spun back to gg harrasses, agg roots it out. [editline]3rd November 2014[/editline] And again, they manage to screencap this 10s after the tweets been made.

Of the ridiculous people who oppose Gamergate, Brianna just happens to be the most pathetically ridiculous.

[QUOTE=Wii60;46395814][url]https://archive.today/KavTO[/url][/QUOTE] The Bennet he's referring to could be Joakim Bennet, Swedish game journalist who's been in this since late 80's at least and is currently the editor-in-chief of PC Gamer Sweden.

Who the fuck is this Brianna Wu person anyways, and how did she get the spotlight? I've never heard about her or that [I]thing[/I] that seems to classify as a game, and now it's everywhere. I might be a tinfoil hat, but this looks pretty fucking wrong to me.

The first I heard of her is when she made some Gamergate related meme featuring a picture of a crying autistic child. (which backfired on her.)

I am not saying that the threat is faked, but I think she brought it up because of her spat with Zoe Quinn.

Honestly, I'd laugh if people started to try and get Wu and Quinn to start fighting eachother.

I dunno, Zoe brought up Wu as part of her defense against David Pakman. I don't think she'll fight with her. though I'm fairly sure that Zoe in the end agrees that Brianna Wu is absurd.

I love how they're told to avoid Pakman because of the questions being asked didn't adhere to what they want.

I suppose that grants GG supporters an opportunity to prove they aren't slut shamers, I guess.

[QUOTE=Swilly;46396235]I love how they're told to avoid Pakman because of the questions being asked didn't adhere to what they want.[/QUOTE] Of course they would, Pakman asked legitimate questions that needed addressing, how would they be able to soapbox and act like they're completely innocent? I honestly feel bad for him, he has the challenge of staying neutral in a situation where only one side will reason with him and the other side is actively saying he's hitler for not making them automatically seem like the good guys and stay away from conversing with him.

[QUOTE=EmperorVagak;46396322]I suppose that grants GG supporters an opportunity to prove they aren't slut shamers, I guess.[/QUOTE] Anti-GG will probably cry about how misogynistic we are to have her on our side because we objectify her because she takes her clothes off for money for the sole purpose of satisfying our own sexual needs through porn.
