Corruption in gaming journalism discussion and update thread. - General

What was the point o that even? What would it have even accomplished?

Why would they lie about that? Can't you get sued over this?

[QUOTE=cloudcakes30;46484571]Why would they lie about that? Can't you get sued over this?[/QUOTE]Nobody said they were smart. Also, if you look through the responses in the posts about it, its clear how despite strong evidence that they are lying, their followers are rallying behind it like the best thing ever. Basically they needed a morale boost, and figured this was the smart way to do it.

Well, if they really are lying 100% sure, and Intel kicks down the door, watch as their followers lose faith.

[QUOTE=mcattack1092;46484619]Unless they do have an Intel ad campaign lined up but has not started yet so we might have to wait an see.[/QUOTE]Given that the original picture Frank posted as supposed proof of Intel's support is the one showing the AdChoice logo, those two are not related.

They'll just go back to hating Intel again. They have unquestioning loyalty to Gamasutra.

I suppose you're right. Even if they outright lie to their followers, they'll still follow Gama. But it will definitely demoralize them even more, especially when GG creates the argument "If Gamasatura lied to you, what else do you think they're lying to you about?"

A lot of people are willfully ignorant that there is any wrong doing,however another disturbing portion believe the ends justify the means that coupled with some who go into it with ends being there own personal gains behind a facade of some great social triumph and we have some truly deplorable actions. For instance that guy a few pages back PROUD to have sent death threats,and im sure if I looked up the tweet now people would be praising him.

Geordie Tait made a responce to people criticizing his epic rant: [quote]Hey, idiots! I have little doubt that Zoe Quinn is innocent of any allegations. But even if she is TOTALLY guilty, and giving reach-arounds to male reviewers in exchange for 10/10 reviews of a game about hugging and friendship - it absolutely does not matter. And even if it WAS somehow a big deal that I said I wanted to see every ‪#‎GamerGate‬ member tossed into a gas chamber and the switch thrown (it isn't - they're the ones using the Holocaust as an excuse to avoid focusing on the substance of the essay and the truth of their own historical evils). Even IF I had some sort of history of being a complete rat bastard. (I don't, not that a bazillion d-bags with stupid names like "Tyrannosaurus Sex" haven't been scouring Google for all morning). Even IF ALL that were true... it doesn't change the fact that what I said about the historical persecution of women is true, and more important than any of the stupid shit that #GamerGate is yammering on about by any objective standard/several orders of magnitude). Forget the Holocaust, forget the WTC, forget the betrayal and crucifixion of Christ. The historical plight of women MUST be the NEW moral exemplar about which everyone is made aware, and upon which everyone's efforts are immediately focused. It is ingrained in our laws, our attitudes, our brains. And it must be met head on. No derailing to talk about a vile and sadly politicized act of terrorism. No derailing to talk about a guy who a) Has caused more death and wars than the Nazis and b) more than likely didn't exist as described. No derailing to watch sadly as Irving and Itzchak get shot by an SS officer named Helmut, after which you shake your finger at me for my lack of sympathy re: the Jewish people. Only #GamerGate, that bastion of PUAs, trolls, and assholes, would deny the sad truth that women have literally never been afforded the same luxuries and privileges as men at any point since the Earth was formed, since it was just a boiling sphere hanging in a firmament of gas and the male microbes were raping, verbally abusing, and denying microbial jobs to the female microbes. We have to stop fucking talking about irrelevant shit and DO SOMETHING to help these women. And I am going to do that. I will not stop. I now see the attitude of the average man as the insidious evil that it is. I don't care if women who have their heads up their asses think they don't need any help. If I'm to have the courage of my convictions then I must gently but resolutely assume they are wrong. I don't care if Zoe Quinn assassinated JFK and then farted during someone's bar mitzvah. I don't care if 80% of #GamerGate peeps have been dumped in the last month and 90% of them just had their bike stolen by a writer for GameSpot, and the two are related. I don't care if Anita Sarkeesian's Kickstarter was entitled: "Help fund my startup: 'Kill-A-Man Inc.!' PS: I Hate Testosterone!" Don't you understand it doesn't matter? Spare me your fucking indignity, it ALL pales in comparison to what women have had to go through literally for 100% of the existence of the earth. I absolutely don't fucking care about anything women or journalists or so-called SJW's have done, nor do I care about wishing you all gassed and buried in shallow graves. The fact that those things aren't true/don't matter is just a bonus. I don't care the same way the Jews wouldn't care if Adolf Hitler sang a mean הבה נגילה or ran an animal shelter in his spare time. Nor would they feel Hitler was justified in what he did even if they WERE thieves and crooks and had robbed the German people blind. I don't care if they salted every piece of gold in Deutschland and ran Nigerian 419 Scams out of their synagogues. I don't care if Jewish mothers snuck the nine-letter-word "Eateateat" into the dictionary. I...don't...care. I only care about FINALLY helping women rise out of these cruel doldrums. Even if the (false) stereotype that the Jews are greedy bastards is true - does that excuse the Holocaust? No, right? Exactly. Just as your historically disgusting behavior re: women is not excused no matter how much you believe about women/gaming is true. (PS: None of it is.) === GT PPS: I literally hope each one of you is accidentally blinked out of existence because Charles Xavier fucked up while using Cerebro.[/quote] Notice all of the references to Jews in the story. Methinks Geordie has some major issues with Jewish people.

I wonder how long until he starts bashing on the gays. Aslo I=/= the people that came before, nor do I represent or hold the same thoughts and beliefs holding me responsible for the past is wrong on so many levels.

in ancient sumeria, women often had multiple husbands, i'd say that's a time period where women weren't oppressed.

[QUOTE=Wii60;46485015][url]https://archive.today/OkNwl[/url][/QUOTE] it's pretty fucked up to compare gamergate to a guy stabbing someone in the fucking face honestly this reads like all of the insults levied by antiGG just spun positively and with a conservative slant

[QUOTE=Wii60;46485015][url]https://archive.today/OkNwl[/url][/QUOTE] I thought we only archived stuff that we disagreed with to deny ad revenue and keep in case it was pulled. Honestly, it's not so bad halfway in so far.

[QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;46485050]it's pretty fucked up to compare gamergate to a guy stabbing someone in the fucking face honestly this reads like all of the insults levied by antiGG just spun positively and with a conservative slant[/QUOTE] It's a conservative site, it's a bit more than a slant. At least it wasn't massively outright "holy shit fuck those females righters" like some conservative places, but you can still tell they probably give no fucks about "nerds" outside of this event.

the /gg/ community at 8chan have been assisting me in sending complaint emails to the ABC along with tip offs to media watch the aim is to at least get a mention on Media Watch on Monday about this hoping they're paying a little attention
