Corruption in gaming journalism discussion and update thread. - General

Two of her latest tweets said: [QUOTE]Trying not to be angry about the past year.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]I find crying a lot helps.[/QUOTE] Like, leaving any of the Kickstarter shit aside, these are signs that she's probably in a situation where she needs help. Someone close to her tell her to go off twitter and help her out.

[QUOTE=Wii60;46736644]people are realizing gamergate won [URL]http://archive.today/qu9hT[/URL] also, sjw's are giving up free money because someone they disagree with has a patreon [img]http://i.imgur.com/MrdikyI.png[/img][/QUOTE] On the bright side, this is the biggest show of integrity any of them have ever displayed.

[QUOTE=Jamsponge;46737459]On the bright side, this is the biggest show of integrity any of them have ever displayed.[/QUOTE] She just has to follow through with it now. There is a chance when the end of January comes that her Patreon will still be active.

[URL="http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sj8krv"]Dear Jonathan McIntosh, from a #GamerGate supporter you've blocked.[/URL]

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/XjVMyXf.png[/IMG] listen and believe? [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/4kTM3zw.png[/IMG] I'm just trying to have an argument on the internet, mostly for shits and giggles and because I love to tightrope my friendships all the damn time No seriously what am I missing here. Is it the claim that the hatred devs are neonazis, which was debunked by fucking polygon of all blogs and people still claim to be false, or did someone say in an interview that every NPC in hatred is jewish I don't see the antisemite undertones. [editline]17th December 2014[/editline] This stuff is worse than talking to your racist grandfather during a family gathering. There's no end to the argument and it always ends with both parties being angrier [editline]17th December 2014[/editline] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/FFKZRJl.png[/IMG] I guess it's a fair point but couldn't this be attributed to any regime out there, besides, MC just murders indiscriminately. I don't know. It's like people really want Hatred to be an antisemitic nazi hate crime simulator, because that's easier to make a villain of than (ugh) a "normal" murder simulator.

Is this what brainwashing looks like

Just a drunk lurker here, but... I have a dream, that far in the future every GamerGater can look back to these days and say: "gg everyone" [QUOTE=Thlis;46736759][img]http://i.imgur.com/xiGq7Uk.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] And while this might be only a whim from a hypocrite, it might as well be a step closer to this future... to our dream. Keep up the good work. The dark masses are cheering from behind.

Hell we can go to Rwandan if we want to get technical. Plus I don't really see how it romanticizes it in any way.

I never understood that rumour about Hatred dev's being neo-nazi's, considering they are Polish. If anyone that reads history books should know that would be an odd mix indeed.

Jimmy is a fucking moron [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/cXRRHgD.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/ZHufanW.png[/IMG]

[QUOTE=Thlis;46738720]Jimmy is a fucking moron [img]http://i.imgur.com/cXRRHgD.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] Well he's right, if you read his other tweets he's just saying that's what a lot of people think about gamergate, not that it's true. It's just that he comes off as an asshat because that has nothing to do with what was being discussed.

[QUOTE=Ryo Ohki;46738757]Well he's right, if you read his other tweets he's just saying that's what a lot of people think about gamergate, not that it's true[/QUOTE] He says while hosting a blatantly biased article where people are literally being paid off by one side. No idea what so ever how Gamergate is getting a bad rap. Also, Kotaku is now putting disclosures on its articles. [url]https://archive.today/5v0IP[/url] [url]https://archive.today/ZPJkh[/url]

[QUOTE=Thlis;46738777]He says while hosting a blatantly biased article where people are literally being paid off by one side. No idea what so ever how Gamergate is getting a bad rap.[/QUOTE]That doesn't justify putting his words out of context and demonize him for saying something that's true, even if it doesn't paint a good picture about gamergate This is the shit aGGro does and I'm not ok with fighting fire with fire

[quote]Stop and think about why.[/quote] Because the piece of shit article on your site is the first result of a search for the term?

[QUOTE=Ryo Ohki;46738803]That doesn't justify putting his words out of context and demonize him for saying something that's true, even if it doesn't paint a good picture about gamergate This is the shit aGGro does and I'm not ok with fighting fire with fire[/QUOTE] But his argument is completely invalidated by the fact that he is disseminating the misinformation. It would be like if your neighbour distributed a town flier calling you a rapist. And when you confront him about it he says "It's not about what I believe, You are famous for being a rapist. Stop and think about why" I mean the only context is this, him justifying deleting a conflict of interest page. [img]http://i.imgur.com/MVGQCD2.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=Thlis;46738816][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/MVGQCD2.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] That's better context, the first screen you posted make people think Jim believes GG is for harrassment, which is not true (as far as we know). Some people I've seen on twitter seem to already be of that idea. I'm not defending Jim's action, it's hypocritical to accuse GG of making attack pages on their own wikia when you have editors hell bent on making attack pages on GG, but giving context is important else people who weren't there get the wrong idea Ultimately I think Jimmy's biggest fault is not being able to admit wikipedia's flaws

Also, Kotaku is now putting disclosures on its articles. [url]https://archive.today/5v0IP[/url] [url]https://archive.today/ZPJkh[/url][/QUOTE] Pretty sure the standard practice is to put the disclosures at the start of the article, not buried at the end like they have

Well then why are all these changes relating to ethics? :v:

Well, praise them for doing so. Give them positive reassurance. Make them feel good about their ethics that we so mercilessly smudged on them.

[QUOTE=Solo Wing;46739911]"No, it isn't about ethics in journalism, its about harassment and misogyny!" Well then why are all these changes relating to ethics? :v:[/QUOTE] its not gamergate that influenced them to change, its the feds, further proving that misogyny is institutionalized

[QUOTE=Wii60;46739940]by the way people call mcintosh "josh" now [URL]https://archive.today/I0taN[/URL][/QUOTE] Kinda funny how he blocked someone over calling him that name... Now he's embracing it. :v:
