Corruption in gaming journalism discussion and update thread. - General

[QUOTE=Xenomoose;46581175]Case in point: Bill Corbett of MST3K and Rifftrax fame just posted yet another tweet making fun of GG. I'd love to post a link to that article about the FTC doing shit, but I'm too afraid to do so because he might just ignore and block me. This is such bullshit.[/QUOTE] Simply tell him you're gonna predict he will get annoyed/angered and block you. It's a dirty tactic, but just telling people what they're going to do will make them not want to do it. Especially when it's against people who are vehemently against you.

I thought that Sea Lion comic predated GG?

[QUOTE=Ninja Gnome;46581587]so what exactly does this mean for him? ban?[/QUOTE] one of the rare ways of getting kicked out of wikipedia forever

[QUOTE=Ninja Gnome;46581587]so what exactly does this mean for him? ban?[/QUOTE] It means he found a loophole, expect nothing. Regardless, if he really cared about editing it he would just create another account and edit it on that, or use edits through another user he knows.

[QUOTE=Teddybeer;46581893]How good of a source/ important is Guardian Liberty Voice.[/QUOTE] I struggled to find anything that mentions it as a remotely reliable source in a 5 minute Google. They only existed as of a year or two ago. That's pretty unpromising if you're looking for reputable sources that don't have a chip on their shoulder.

[QUOTE=V12US;46581869]This wont change anything. Her followers are so deep up her crack that not even the president declaring her the anti-Christ on primetime television would change their minds.[/QUOTE] Her followers can probably not read half of it, having eng as first language.

At least to people working scientifically and probably most other people reading it. It's probably going to get brushed aside as slander by people with a predetermined conclusion, like everything else that has evidence attached.

[QUOTE=Tamschi;46582322]That seems harmless enough. He's not saying anything pro or anti in that tweet, technically speaking.[/QUOTE] It seems to me that most comedians regard the whole thing as ridiculous, but they find the pro-GG people more ridiculous because "it's just videogames".

Here is an interesting Idea that trainwreck of a blocklist IGDA attempted to legitimize had a lot of indie devs on it,perhaps some of them were not picked up by that code that was written to make the blocklist but were put there manually to sabotage their careers.seeing as we apparently have the code is there a way to verify this by comparing their list to one we make?

[URL="http://techraptor.net/content/untimely-gamer-attempts-boycott-seedscape-developers-political-views"]Anti-GG gets BTFO[/URL] [QUOTE]However, due to that fact that Dawe identifies as pro-GamerGate, she has come under scrutiny from Untimely Gamer on Twitter, who tried to encourage people to boycott the game. As the game was still in the early stages a boycott of this kind could be devastating for development. Fortunately for Dawe, the Streisand Effect took place, and while the game was a moderate success already, popularity of the game surged in the last day following the proposed boycott and has since been greenlit. This particular story has come at a time when women in the industry have come under the spotlight as a minority. Amidst concerns that women in gaming are weathering a constant barrage of harassment, it is important to support talented women such as Dawe to show how inclusive gaming can be.[/QUOTE]

That media influence, which is so vital in the communication and sociology fields they work in, is of laughably small relevance in psychology, and that the harmful effects of media are insignificant to people working outside the media.
