Corruption in gaming journalism discussion and update thread. - General

Way too much misogynist propaganda here. pagek̶i̶n̶g̶ queen

[QUOTE=Ryo Ohki;46608037]I also believe some publications threatened to not give the game any coverage had they not changed it The artist who made it was harrassed and got sent death threats per usual Basically D:OS was the first victim of SJWs bullying developers to have games suit their tastes.[/QUOTE] Aye, though they weren't the first. The levels of hypocrisy are fairly saddening, though; look what happened to female Shepard in ME, transformed from a thirty-five year old redhead into a 20 year old blonde with bigger junk, all courtesy of a flagship social justice developer, with the lol-worthy excuse of "well marketing polled this, and this is what was popular". So much for principles before all; "it's on us, we have to change". :v:

I wonder if we will see Artur Chu get blasted by the SJW movement,although im under the assumption he is a protected figure due his closeness with Mojo jojo.

I hate the concept but being bullied into changing your vision is just wrong.[/QUOTE] I liked the other version better, to be entirely honest.

Okay I've been gone for like 3 weeks and it sounds like everything has gone to shit. What the hell happened?

If you're talking about Internet Aristocrat leaving then that's about it. Nothing has "gone to shit". People disagree on some things, it's not the end of the world and it's nothing new.

[QUOTE=Tsyolin;46610381]Then what's with all this in-fighting and drama I keep hearing about?[/QUOTE] a couple isolated cases honestly not much in the grand scheme of things.

Really is impressive how they painted gamergate as a hate mob, then once the mainstream reinforced that stance they felt safe to be the hate mob themselves without any fear of repercussion. Except, thats not what's happening, and this shit is going to follow them for the rest of their lives. Because they were stupid enough to yell hate on their public facing accounts with their identities clearly listed. It's not alright to do so if you're anon either, but the sheer stupidity of doing it with it tied to your identity is just astounding.

[QUOTE=Tsyolin;46610381]Then what's with all this in-fighting and drama I keep hearing about?[/QUOTE] King of Pol and Internet Aristocrat each wanted to use the movement for their own purposes, and everyone rejected them. King of Pol had a spectacular breakdown over it, fabricated evidence, and then cried and tried to switch sides which no one bought. IA hasn't gone quite to that length yet.

[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;46610625]It's actually a protest of Black Friday, which I'm okay with.[/QUOTE] why? black Friday is shitty because the people have to work during thanksgiving, but cyber Monday is just awesome because its good sales that anyone can get without being trampled or killed.
