What is worth trying to figure out is why games journalists are brown nosing this complete utter nutter.
Do they have some sort of agenda or are they really moronic enough to agree with this tripe?[/QUOTE]
What the fuck even [I]is[/I] a 'democratic participatory planning process'? As a socialist who would rather that markets didn't exist, I have no idea what that concept even represents. I literally cannot decipher what those four words mean in conjunction with each other.
It seems at this point he was just pupeetering Anita to get into a bigger audience.

it's a democratic version of the "5 year plans" by Stalin if anything.
How would that be run democratically? Not a fucking clue.

He's basically saying "people who have no intention of ever buying games should get to decide how they're made"
which is his entire outlook on video games in a nutshell

the statement has relevance to the tin foil conspiracy of that meeting I forget where leaders, leading businessmen and sometimes other key figures come together and discuss current events which is believed to control the future economy. casey jones talks about it every once in a while during his foaming tantrums. Funny how he's believed to be a former infowar supporter to say things jones would go ape shit over.
[QUOTE=Teddybeer;46811263]I would bet Anarcho-syndicalism, but those words make what he could mean really really broad. He isn't that much Different than Alex Jones, he tells you what you want to here, never says something specific and you don't have an idea where he wants the world to go instead of a broad claim.[/QUOTE]
To me "democratic participatory planning process' sounds like... free market. It's mainly demand-driven in 'planning' compartment, this also means it's participatory and democratic. Oh and it's also a process. Abolish free market, install free market instead.
Although I'm pretty sure he's of THOSE 'liberals' that think that the entire market works by literally hypnotizing the consumers into buying what BIG CORPORATIONS produce. Most of the regular consumer-focused markets are IIRC would be driven by 'medium' and small business, but who cares? Certainly not Mcfucktard. It's not like he puts a lot of thought in what he types out, he just throws as much strange words with broad meaning as possible.
Sounds to me like a "market".

Garry's Mod is a game about posing women in sexually suggestive ways. It's a game that reinforces the idea femininity should be "modified" through the male gaze of Kleiner.
Rust exists.
[QUOTE=ForgottenKane;46809537]I don't want anything to end till I see the entire industry burning to the ground.
Seriously, fuck everyone. Every god damn developer and shitty journalist needs to be thrown in the fire as it goes down.
Top publishers overwork and underpay their devs all the while demanding full games to be released in such a low time frame while indie devs half-ass everything they do and pocket every penny they can find.

You should be blaming him for the actions of his mods; it's his site, he is in charge of those who work for him. That's like a McDonalds employee giving you the wrong order, then you asking for the manager and he tells you 'tough luck, ain't my fault.'
Joe calling out and saying what he just said truly shows either his complacency or incompetence. Running a forum is hard and he has to deal with the consequences of having one.[/QUOTE]
Of course I want changes ,I just kinda want them to hurry up and happen already.
Well it's good to see AJ talking with GG people in a civilized fashion, but unfortunately I think he still won't be Pro-GG.

This is misleading, some of those sites are actually more popular than ever:

[QUOTE=Jamsponge;46809245]... So obviously, every single piece of music in an American game is brainwashing people into blindly supporting capitalism?

There is no almost about it. It is McCarthyism.

[QUOTE=Jamsponge;46811889]Rust exists.[/QUOTE]
Rust is a game that show the male power fantasy at its core for what it is, a homoerotic boys only club of constructing forts of misogyny. It's a game that reinforces the idea that femininity, narrative of peacefully cooperative and equalist ideals, should be "shuned" through the cis male gaze with homoerotic undertones of peer player's group think. Also the trees that can be cut down support the invisible patriarchy of oppressing women when tress should be left alone to grow.
in shocking breaking news, anita sarkeesian can actually play video games and is playing live on twitch with the trans gamespot reporter (i forgot her name)
and in even more surprising news, this is the first time you can chat directly to anita because she doesnt know how twitch chat tools work (there's also a mod in the chat).

Well the rape threats just started
that was fast
trolls rollin in so quickly
It was a trap I'm sure. Now we'll hear about how streaming culture is sexist and misogynistic and all the other fun words.
I say this sarcastically but with a bit of fear that I might actually see an article like that.
I ain't visiting the page because I'm not giving her any sort of view at all, but it's a well established rule that once you get over 300 viewers, the chat goes to absolute shit.
How many views is she getting?

it was like 150
[QUOTE=Wii60;46813434]it was like 150[/QUOTE]
Well that ain't much really.
But the chat is still shit just because of who she is.

someone who won't bullshit the chatlog should had recorded the chat, you can't reply via anon. You can see a chat stream via IRC. If it turned out anti-gg was astrotuffing, then it would help in some way.
But you can tell the tactics used are changing.

They're starting to throw money at taking GG down now. This confirms that serious damage has been done and will continue to be done should it continue. We're going to have to be more vigilant.
Anyway thought I'd share one of the "Describe like Ben" posts with you guys:

#DescribeAGameLikeBenKuchera rules because it's the exact same pseudo-intellectual, freshman college student-caliber bullshit "serious game critics" like Josh peddle, but made fun of instead of played straight.
Here's a follow-up to some political-alignment survey: [url=http://www.gamepolitics.com/2014/12/29/editorial-gamergate-political-attitudes-part-1-movement-right-wing]Editorial: #GamerGate Political Attitudes, Part 1- Is The Movement Right-Wing?[/url]
It's a somewhat interesting read.
