[QUOTE=Fangz;46804161]The Angry Joe forums are mass censoring Gamergate discussion, just before his Top 10 controversies video comes out next week: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dw8FVWfJCWk&[/media][/QUOTE] Wait, what exactly caused AngryJoe to be AGG? I thought he was pro-consumer and was against censorship? What the fuck im so fucking confused

[QUOTE=joshuadim;46805339]Wait, what exactly caused AngryJoe to be AGG? I thought he was pro-consumer and was against censorship? What the fuck im so fucking confused[/QUOTE] Most likely misinformed by some of the shittier members of TGWTG. cough cough todd in the shadows. Though he is saying things on twitter that are making me think he's not anti-gg, or pro-gg, its more that he's incompetent with how he handles his own forums moderators.

[QUOTE=Heldure;46805392]He dishes out a lot of rage for someone to get so easily assmad at twitter.[/QUOTE] its easy to see why enraged jose only has [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paH9oq_X658"]7$ in his name[/URL]

[QUOTE=Rockeiro123;46805360] Something to do with getting nasty tweets that might have turned him off of GG in general.[/QUOTE] FYI last year [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voVpvKlntDM"]he defended Anita's stuff[/URL] and agreed with it. So it's pretty obvious what his stance is going to be. - Even then people got super angry at him for that, just look at the comments. If it wasn't obvious - the guy (and his writers) basically rely on knee-jerk reactions to get an audience quickly, whether they realize it or not. There has been past cases where hes been wrong and doesn't admit up to it. (I can't be assed to go look for them now.) Hes just one of those people who reacts to something too hastily, then won't budge from his position when hes called out. Hes popular because of that attitude though (gotta be the first to cash in controversies, that's his whole character,) so don't expect him to change his opinion. It's why I don't like his channel - it's all presumptuous.

It was her research that personally inspired me to look critically at every study and every claim that seemed too astounding to be true — and even to question statistics that my own bias led me to believe were true. Her greatest cause this year was #GamerGate, and she became a hero in the movement to prevent gaming ideas from being censored by the feminist community. She speaks with authority and poise, never sounding like she’s angry or lecturing — a persona many have yet to master.[/QUOTE] [editline]27th December 2014[/editline] rest of list is pretty cool too

I really think wii60 posting somewhat related or tangentially related info is nice and a good addition to the thread. I've realized we'd have nothing to talk about or we'd repeat "sent an email to x company today." If we didn't go off topic while waiting for all the court cases to finish.

[QUOTE=01271;46806476]I was ready to be sick until I remembered that factual feminist is sommers and not sarkeesian.[/QUOTE] Both Feminist Frequency and Factual Feminist are abbreviated "FF", so it's no surprise that you'd make that mistake.

[QUOTE=Wii60;46807913]i am just a simple gamergate bard/witch, i spread tales of silly and serious.[/QUOTE] tbh i like it, keeps me updated on gg going ons so i don't need to hop all over the place to find news

[QUOTE=Ninja Gnome;46807928]tbh i like it, keeps me updated on gg going ons so i don't need to hop all over the place to find news[/QUOTE] I really don't. It feels like it's provoking off topic discussion and generates the stigma that "all we do is talk about SJW's."

So Angry Joe posted this in the comments in the video I posted above: [img]http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b196/Starmenclock/image_zps641116cb.jpg[/img]

so frustrated fernando is neutral because he hates both sides better than anti-gg i guess

I just want this to end.

[QUOTE=Wii60;46808174]so frustrated fernando is neutral because he hates both sides better than anti-gg i guess[/QUOTE] People are alienating him right now because he's kind of an asshole, his content is shit, and he jumps into shit before thinking. Not a good situation.

So Ralph Report attacked Joe. We are in for a bumpy ride.

[QUOTE=Fangz;46808161]So Angry Joe posted this in the comments in his latest video: [IMG]http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b196/Starmenclock/image_zps641116cb.jpg[/IMG] I think he ended up deleting it too.[/QUOTE] Well, this is better than the response I was expecting. Can't say I disagree with him either. None of us should be blaming him for the actions of a mod on his forums. I kinda feel bad now for jumping to conclusions. Isn't that kinda the thing we've been fighting against? Making hasty thoughts and statements and not fact checking everything where possible?

To those that think we shouldn't be posting things like people going #fullmcintosh I disagree entirely. These people claim to be games journalists, essentially advocates and representatives for the video game buyer. It is our responsibility as consumers to show how these people are utter morons and how they are no longer our representatives. Quick Summary: Ben Kuchera, video game 'journalist' claims Tetris soundtrack is Soviet propaganda because it was made in the Soviet union.

[QUOTE=AaronM202;46808411]???[/QUOTE] as in costumes, characters, extra stuff not really game changing. Like Street fighter, but Microsoft gets loads more from it.

[QUOTE=codemaster85;46808430]as in costumes, characters, extra stuff not really game changing. Like Street fighter, but Microsoft gets loads more from it.[/QUOTE] No. Characters, as far as im aware, dont cost any money if you buy the 60 dollar version/full game. [editline]28th December 2014[/editline] The microtransactions, from what ive read, are just extra costume pieces and colors that you get by playing the game anyway. Saying its loaded is a bit of hyperbole.

[quote] yo joe [/quote] He's not neutral at all, he's only for the side that's for him, and on that side unilaterally. I've had arguments wherein my job has been potentially on the line, because I thought customers would be harmed, I didn't to do it for me, I'm just a fucking name on a roll, and no one would ever be the wiser anyway or give a shit. Joe never seems make that leap unless there's a distinct payoff, unless I've missed something.
