kingofpol has bowed out [url]http://twishort.com/DONgc[/url] [editline]5th November 2014[/editline] cameralady has some IGF news possibly by thursday [url]https://twitter.com/aquapendulum/status/529608614298648576[/url]

[QUOTE=Pteradactyl;46419442]Our other good friend is saying the same thing. [url]https://twitter.com/TheQuinnspiracy/status/530105245146578946[/url] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/2X4OfxJ.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] I know this sounds psychopathic but when I heard this news I thought to myself, at the back of my mind, that somebody was going to use this poor woman's death and use it to further their own agenda in regards to GamerGate. I honestly hope that it ends here and that woman's family doesn't have the disgrace of having this woman dragged into some totally unrelated event. Like, imagine if your daughter died and you had to go through this grief, and then on top of that strangers on the internet used her as an example of some totally different thing, disgracing her image to prove a nonexistant point, and she gets embroiled in this crazy internet argument when she really deserves peace.

[QUOTE=Rocâ„¢;46417685] I had no idea NoDachi got perma'd, twice. Alelujah![/QUOTE] You don't know how much that certain group of posters getting perma'd has changed the landscape of this forum. Its quite amazing. People actually seem to discuss issues longer before the sanius squad arrives and browbeats them into submission, and we dont have max dragging down with "WELL ACHKTULLY...." any time someone disputes the misogyny label.

[QUOTE=Pteradactyl;46419623]Zoe killed 4chan. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/gggOqnN.jpg[/IMG] But watch this somehow still be tied to gamergate.[/QUOTE] I honestly think Zoe has a case of narcissism. Calling herself the 'most hated person on the Internet' (hmm yes, the hundreds of people who supported you obviously just don't count), heavily implying that she is more oppressed than somebody else, and this award really can't be helping. But as long as we have the echo chamber saying that Gamergate is a misogynist hate movement, that's all the public will see it as unless educated otherwise. Damn, I wish we could make some friendly publicised videos or something, but we'd probably get a Cracked article saying 'Why Gamergate is Basically Just the Nazis Now' [editline]5th November 2014[/editline] I'm starting to get more and more tired of this, frankly. I really need a break, but I don't want to miss out on anything significant. It doesn't help that I'm really slumping with my studies for unrelated reasons.

some stuff is gonna come out later tonight, guys. keep your eyes peeled. something that'll make our lives a lot easier, with proof, from an anonymous (to everyone else but him) source from oliver campbell (aka threedog) meanwhile keep giving tips and evidence to the FTC until the big man feds come along and do their jobs.

[QUOTE=TheJoey;46419664]kingofpol has bowed out [URL]http://twishort.com/DONgc[/URL][/QUOTE] time for some new faces of GG then everyone involved in the sat stream pretty much quit except for sargon and Lo-Ping. i dont really see a problem with it either due to the massive bombs we have loading into the lawsuit cannons. I mean we have totalbiscuit and all that too, no need to fear the old GG faces leavin.

"Why Aren't There Female Characters in FIFA 14" what the hell? :v: And wow, I just KNEW Wu and Quinn would spin that murder for their own good. As anyone ever pointed out to them how big of attention whores they are, or how they are fucking assholes for using something like this to further their own messed up goals?

[QUOTE=eatdembeanz;46417769]/gg/ people post here, and facepunchers post on /gg/. It's weird how people forget that Facepunch is really close to both Chanculture and Redditculture.[/QUOTE] I read Reddit for news on very specific games (Dota/StarCraft) and I've been an avid 4chan lurker for the past seven years, so I have always assumed everyone else on the site is at least somewhat familiar with them. Now that I think of it, the only forum I've actually frequented over the past decade that I don't just lurk is Facepunch. This is the only place I ever post, and I still have no clue why. Not even SA, and I've been on SA for just as long. [editline]5th November 2014[/editline] FP is also the only place I've ever been banned from too now that I think of it :v: I guess quality posting from me = no posting. [editline]5th November 2014[/editline] I [i]still[/i] can't remember the password to my old account that was perma'd in 08. I think I had a Yahoo mail account at the time when I had it, so even after Garry did the birthday unbannings I still had no way to retrieve it.

Remember what happened last year when KSI asked some girl at a con if he could motorboat her and after the video was released, Ian rallied in wearing his shiny white armour to defend her. Then she fuckin tweeted at him saying she was totally okay with KSI doing it and he got blown the fuck out. He even stopped calling himself a turbo-feminist lmao.

[QUOTE=TheJoey;46419664]kingofpol has bowed out [URL]http://twishort.com/DONgc[/URL] [/QUOTE] [quote][B]Majority[/B] of #GamerGate are very nasty people but do have their minds in the right place, but does not justify the means of which to handle things.[/quote] Even though there is a lot of toxicity regarding GamerGate in general, I cannot agree with his "majority" statement (unless he actually is talking about it in general and not just the pro-GG). I hope he gets a chance to take some vacation time. No one should be going through that much stress.

r/KIA stream [video=youtube;kdO0VZW6h7w]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdO0VZW6h7w[/video]

I know this question comes up every day, but I'd like to send my sister a few links to explain what gamergate is. If it helps, she is egalitarian, and gets frustrated by what feminism has become, so she's reasonable. She also deleted her twitter before all this happened and doesn't pay attention to the news all that much, so she has no sort of awareness of what has happened, from either side of the issue. I need something that's concise but sums up everything that has happened. I intend on sending her [url=https://plus.google.com/app/basic/stream/z13mv3hw3xnns5d4004ceryhtzv2tfxqyq00k]TotalBuiscut's Reply to YT Nation's Video[/url], are there any other fairly concise articles out there that essentially explain what has happened?

ian miles cheong to me seems like the guy who's clickbait website isn't at all relevant, so he has to latch himself onto any gaming controversy possible and bark as loud as he can to make himself appear like he's important in the industry in anyway Seriously. Who the fuck knows what a gameranx is

People are willing to support gamergate but it's much harder to put yourself out there and host hours and hours of streams. Well, if anyone feels they are up to the task and have a fuckload of free time go for it right.

I hope he gets a chance to take some vacation time. No one should be going through that much stress.[/QUOTE]His problems more than anything came after that Saturday stream, when he went batshit insane and people told him to cut that shit out. Basically, he was the polar opposite to people like Anita. She's rabidly "feminist" (I use the term loosely), and he is rabidly nazi. And he tried to push that shit, so people pushed back. Its why after that last stream he acted exactly how ZQ and the others behaved, righteous indignation. It was only a matter of time before it happened really.

Hey maybe these guys question the holocaust too!! > LET ME REDPILL YOU MAN LET ME REDPILL U I WANT TO REDPILL YOU MAN

anyone who denies or even questions the holocaust is batshit. it's so well documented and people who experienced it are still alive to tell the tale. nobody with any sense should have anything to do with those kinds of people my stepmother's mother fled from a concentration camp. it happened.
