so has there been any agg hashtag that hasn't crashed and burned/backfired

[QUOTE=Ninja Gnome;46558485]so has there been any agg hashtag that hasn't crashed and burned/backfired[/QUOTE] Nope. The new AAA games being released like Destiny or Smash Bros didn't stop Gamergate Slandering it on video game media didn't stop Gamergate Slandering it on mainstream media didn't stop Gamergate Getting big name celeberties to slander it like Seth Rogen didn't stop Gamergate Making counter hashtag like #stopgamergate2014 didn't stop Gamergate Making mocking memes, articles and songs didn't stop Gamergate And right now...the Blocker bot, the weapon that was going to wipe GG off the earth, has completely backfired on them You'll notice that because these tactics aren't working, MSM has quieted down on the subject.

[QUOTE=Helix Snake;46535339]Bull through antique shop was busted by the Mythbusters though. Bulls actually try to avoid walking into things.[/QUOTE] They do? Huh, how about that... What if its red colored porcelain?

[QUOTE=Rocâ„¢;46558655]They do? Huh, how about that... What if its red colored porcelain?[/QUOTE]Hilariously, bulls don't care about color. Its about movement. [editline]23rd November 2014[/editline] Heh, maybe a bull is a better comparison for the pro-gg side. We're trying not to break anything, we don't care what color your are (or any other characteristics of you), but if you make one wrong move we're going to run you down, and we're hard to stop.

Nice. Where are we on this week? What happened?

Here's something about #WeHeart on a German website (noticed it because it's mentioned [URL="https://twitter.com/ED_Updates/status/536555972647739392"]here[/URL]): [url]http://herzteile.org/2014/11/we-think-games-are-for-everyone/[/url] ([URL="https://archive.today/EypIy"]archive[/URL]) It's fairly thoroughly (and politely) dismantled in the comments. The site actually looks somewhat interesting since it's a niche publication with relatively diverse topics (from what I can tell), but they definitely are dripping with social "justice" too.

Right now someone is being belittled for an idea that will change the course of history. I hope that the inferiority will be ignored, because the when the goodness of the human mind invents a positive concept, such beauty extends life.[/quote] [URL="https://twitter.com/sambotta"]He's[/URL] also [URL="http://livefearless.com/role-model-mike-cernovich-defends-freedom-of-speech-when-bullies-with-media-influence-attack/"]friends with Cernovich[/URL], which I assume is how he learned of the stuff going on currently. (I have no clue how that site works. Where's the overview page? Is it just broken for me?) It's all fairly usual self-improvement stuff, but he nonetheless seems like a cool person judging by his writing.

Not exactly GG related, but Yahtzee vented some of his frustration with SJW in his latest Let's drown out. He also gives a protip on how to deal with them. [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbNY1qgyuwY#t=1563[/url]

They're not subtle with how they plot things, are they?

They're like cartoon villains.

When you're on the side of absolute right, you don't need things like plans, or common sense, or following the 200 year old mandates of journalistic objectivity and integrity or cognizant of the fact that a couple of years from now you'll be in the same box as the other fallen McCarthyists.

so how about that "corruption in gaming journalism"

[QUOTE=Quq;46559703]so how about that "corruption in gaming journalism"[/QUOTE] Since they are more an awards organisation, does the IGDA's recent actions count as corruption in gaming journalism or is it just general asshattery?

[QUOTE=Devodiere;46559758]Since they are more an awards organisation, does the IGDA's recent actions count as corruption in gaming journalism or is it just general asshattery?[/QUOTE] I think it's moved on to "Corruption, Hypocrisy, and General Asshattery in the Gaming/Tech Industry"

[QUOTE=finbe;46559899]sounds boring, everybody knows the best #GG ship is MiloXMike.[/QUOTE] Exactly, GamerGate hates women, so why would we want to see two women fucking, or any women in sex at all? Guys only. [editline]23rd November 2014[/editline] Hah, ohh god we should run with that. "Sex should be a guys only club. Only men should be having sex."

I saw that on 8chan, people where joking about Tom sawyer getting some huckleberry along with some flinn.
