Corruption in gaming journalism discussion and update thread. - General

[QUOTE=EmperorVagak;46829724]Yes, let's stop talking about Max but... [url]https://vine.co/v/OwI5eUQZLLg[/url][/QUOTE]It really is hilarious how bitter he is and has been. Also, why did he even have the fedora? Would you really go spend the money to get one just for the sake of an eight second bad joke?

[QUOTE=EmperorVagak;46829724]Yes, let's stop talking about Max but... [url]https://vine.co/v/OwI5eUQZLLg[/url][/QUOTE] It's amazing how little self awareness MasofS2D has.

[QUOTE=EmperorVagak;46829724]Yes, let's stop talking about Max but... [url]https://vine.co/v/OwI5eUQZLLg[/url][/QUOTE] god what a fucknugget seriously

How ironic of a frenchman to indulge in stereotypes

[QUOTE=EmperorVagak;46829724]Yes, let's stop talking about Max but... [URL]https://vine.co/v/OwI5eUQZLLg[/URL][/QUOTE] Holy shit he is still so fucking salty. He said gamergate was gonna die in a week, and HES STILL fucking sassy about it. Its gonna be 2015 in a matter of hours and he is STILL salty. He isnt even creative about his shit either, wow a fedora and doritos, only the highest form of insulting and wit. Makes me happy GG is pretty much the reason Max finally got banned and hes still so fucking salty over it to this day. I honestly wonder the type of mental Olympics go on through his head on daily basis, its quite clear he wins the gold every time.

The thing is, Max, or anyone who opposed Gamergate for that matter could've discussed what they were concerned with instead of just coming in here and being snarky with a "holier than thou" attitude and otherwise posting crap that is just there to annoy those within the thread rather than contribute to the thread, but no, they didn't. No cups of tea to discuss things over, just a madman flailing a baguette, and a few others alongside that.

[QUOTE=EmperorVagak;46829724]Yes, let's stop talking about Max but... [url]https://vine.co/v/OwI5eUQZLLg[/url][/QUOTE] One of the best things about this vine, is remembering how max used to be all about removing of labels and equality for all, in SH at least. And now here he is unironically making fun of gamergate for being nothing but(?) neckbearded, dorito eating, fedora wearing drones, being a drone himself parroting the same nonsense since the beginning.

A more positive note: [URL="http://www.gamepolitics.com/2014/12/30/gamergate-political-attitudes-part-two-old-liberals-vs-new-progressives"]Here's part two of that cool political attitudes survey article.[/URL]

[QUOTE=EmperorVagak;46830066]just a madman flailing a baguette[/QUOTE]This is a beautiful description of Max and it has caused a wonderful scene to play in my head. I'm just picturing him running around the streets, that stupid fedora half-cocked off his head, as he shouts incoherent garbage about neckbeards and gamers and the patriarchy and throwing accusations of misogyny at random passersby, while swinging a french loaf around him as people try to avoid getting hit. A circle is formed around him as onlookers whisper to each other about his outbursts, and a couple of police officers and EMT are standing nearby, trying to figure out the best way to subdue him and get him help. Eventually the crowd loses interests as the two officers walk over, take the baguette away, and escort him in to the back of a police car. The onlookers laugh about it as they carry on with their day, and by the next day they've forgotten what he was even rambling about to begin with.

[QUOTE=Sitkero;46830225][...] with thoughts and points that are just as valid as their own and opens up the possibility that they [I]could be wrong[/I][/QUOTE] For me it's the opposite, I absolutely love being proven wrong because it means that I learn something in the process. Being always right would be awfully boring. (Notwithstanding estimates that go horribly wrong, of course. But I'm cautious in that regard anyway so it doesn't happen too often.)

[QUOTE=EmperorVagak;46830066] just a madman flailing a baguette[/QUOTE] I made my comment about him in private, the content of my opinion can be released by who it sent to. however, I'm not responsible for max getting butthurt if he saw what was shown.

[QUOTE=Tamschi;46830265]A more positive note: [URL="http://www.gamepolitics.com/2014/12/30/gamergate-political-attitudes-part-two-old-liberals-vs-new-progressives"]Here's part two of that cool political attitudes survey article.[/URL][/QUOTE] Hm, interesting: Quite a few people answered questions with an "other"/freeform field in that manner.

So Totalbiscuit retweeted a charity drive on twitter and the person running it (DurpSA) threw a temper tantrum on twitter, enabling the GG blocklist on their account and made his twitter private. Totalbiscuit responded by this before he fully enabled the GGblocklist: [img]http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b196/Starmenclock/totalbiscuitcharity_zpsd372dcb2.png[/img] Also TB responds to the fact he is a block criteria on the GG blocklist: [img]http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b196/Starmenclock/Totalbiscuitblocklist_zps918c1380.png[/img]

okay seriously The idea that you can use charities for political ends is dumb Take the damn money it's not money being made through a corrupted corporation or something Furthermore, what kind of dumbass blocks people from donating because a guy who has very little relation to the movement asks people to donate? I can barely wrap my head around that logic. [quote] Matthias- I miss when charity was about helping others and not being a crazy narcissistic clique.[/quote] Totalbiscut has the absolute right to blow a massive gasket over this. I would, blocking A LOT of donations for political reasons is so dumb. Like, I don't understand at all. [editline]a[/editline] Now they are saying that his tweet about "if I do have a bunch of harrassers" is a threat. OH FUCK OFF. [editline]a[/editline] I am so angry at this shit you have no idea. Who the fuck do these people think they are? Illogical and downright hampering charitable efforts for the sake of proving nothing but your a bunch of stuck-up people who care nothing but making the opposition look bad. Fuck. You. I'm gonna go build something, thanks for rejuvenating my anger for the new year, I'll be sure to stay a hell of a lot longer. As long you assholes exist, a counter movement will exist from now on. This is how it's gonna be.

This is how it's gonna be.[/QUOTE] With all what AGG is doing to trying to prevent charities from accepting money from people who have even vaguely agrees with GG, I do wonder if it is an attempt of making us look bad by shouting afterwards that GG didn't donate money, while ignoring that they pressed the charity to not accept perfectly fine money. Problem is, GG raised over hundred-thousand dollars to colon cancer research, suicide prevention, bullying prevention, Child's Play and even to sea lions. Meanwhile, all what AGG did with money was to line the pockets of professional victims and corrupt wikipedia editors, and to buy bots for their short-lived hashtags. So tell me, what charity that want to really help people in need with that money would even consider picking the AGG-side? Those guys aren't going to give you money anyway as long you aren't pushing their narrative. EDIT: Not that there is going to be anything new lost here, it is that shady AbleGamers charity, who are rather complaining about being able to jump in the new CoD instead of actually helping disabled gamers. They have denied charity money from GG and Mercedes Carrera before.

I think it's meant to be a joke.

So it looks like Totalbiscuit is at the breaking point at the moment.

If AntiGG is getting this pissed about someone they dislike politically supporting a chairty they like, they'd have a fucking heart attack if they saw the conservatives that donate to things like food banks.

It's like all they care about is seeing whoever even SUGGESTS they support their opposition thrown down to the ground no matter what they are doing.
