[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;50987025]Thanks for dropping by to shit post[/QUOTE] No probs, nice to know that opinions that aren't yours are shitposts
[QUOTE=Irockz;50987033]No probs, nice to know that opinions that aren't yours are shitposts[/QUOTE] Well when you drop into a thread with 4 pages of people discussing thing and go "lmao fucking retards who cares about thing???", you look kinda stupid.
[QUOTE=Diet Kane;50987041]Well when you drop into a thread with 4 pages of people discussing thing and go "lmao fucking retards who cares about thing???", you look kinda stupid.[/QUOTE] I didn't even call anyone stupid, I called the idea of gamergate stupid but the most I said about the people who care about it was that I don't understand them
[QUOTE=Irockz;50987049]I didn't even call anyone stupid, I called the idea of gamergate stupid but the most I said about the people who care about it was that I don't understand them[/QUOTE] I do'nt give a fuck about GG either but I do care about shitty journalists and seeing a leaked chat log of people being this manipulative and shitty is just golden [editline]1st September 2016[/editline] this is literally a cake made of icing
[QUOTE=J!NX;50987061]I do'nt give a fuck about GG either but I do care about shitty journalists and seeing a leaked chat log of people being this manipulative and shitty is just golden[/QUOTE] Oh yeah don't get me wrong I think this group of people are pieces of shit but people going 'this means all anti gamergaters are awful' is a terrible black and white mentality
[QUOTE=Irockz;50987049]I didn't even call anyone stupid, I called the idea of gamergate stupid but the most I said about the people who care about it was that I don't understand them[/QUOTE] I didn't call anyone stupid but honestly people who care about shitty practices in the games industry are just nerd losers amirite guys? Even more so if people care about others running the biggest gravy train in town while secretly organizing harassment campaigns. Heaven forbid people care about things I dismiss.

[QUOTE=Irockz;50987127]Yep Those are things I said 100% things I said Not things you put in my mouth at all Nope[/QUOTE] I apologize, let me rephrase my mockery: Stop caring about things in ways I don't like, gamergate is stupid, I came into this thread to tell people to stop caring about something that isn't directly related to these shitty people or anything to do with the posts in this thread. Better?

Better?[/QUOTE] Okay I've been trying not to be insensitive here but you're still putting words into my mouth so I'll just say it straight up, you're being really insecure right now and looking way too deep into what I said. Unless you identify [I]as[/I] gamergate, you shouldn't be getting as offended as you are
Don't feed Edit: Also weren't false flags planned in the logs?
[QUOTE=Irockz;50987033]No probs, nice to know that opinions that aren't yours are shitposts[/QUOTE] When you ignore everything and everyone to insist you somehow know better dodging all conversation and info as beneath you as you did, then yeah, i'm going to call it as I see it and I see it as shit posting when you add nothing to the conversation
[QUOTE=_Axel;50983521]Pretty much any big video game journalism site pandered to the "GG is misogynistic harassers" narrative. How can you expect us to take them seriously when they can't even fucking fact-check something like that? They [I]are[/I] all clowns.[/QUOTE] A lot of people's go to fact checkers say it

Unless you identify [I]as[/I] gamergate, you shouldn't be getting as offended as you are[/QUOTE] Ok, so you did just want to come in and shit post about how gamergate is stupid or something? I understand completely. I also thank you for trying to play the sensationalist headlines game, but I'm not up to it right now.
Irockz. Okay. Listen here, carefully, alright? Read very carefully. You came into a thread, about a topic you clearly know very little about, which is fully of people who know what the topic is about and are well informed on it. Okay? You came into that, and went-- "What is this stupid nerd shit lol fuckin dumb why is it still happening theres totally no real legitimate reason why people would be upset or continue discussion of a topic i could read up about instead of shit talking needlessly and then defend my knowledgeless position as if i didnt come in and shitpost wildly. " Are you really HONESTLY surprised people are responding to you the way they are? What the fuck else did you expect?
Patronising behaviour, continued putting words in my mouth, [I]and[/I] flaming Nice

[QUOTE=Irockz;50987253]Patronising behaviour, continued putting words in my mouth, [I]and[/I] flaming Nice[/QUOTE] Is this a bit? Are you doing a bit?
[QUOTE=Diet Kane;50987260]Is this a bit? Are you doing a bit?[/QUOTE] Nah, people keep repeating the same argument at me that I've rebutted so I've decided there's no point in repeating myself
[QUOTE=Irockz;50987273]Nah, people keep repeating the same argument at me that I've rebutted so I've decided there's no point in repeating myself[/QUOTE] Your only rebuttal so far has been "I didn't say EXACTLY SPECIFICALLY that so you're putting words in my mouth"
[QUOTE=Helix Snake;50987285]Your only rebuttal so far has been "I didn't say EXACTLY SPECIFICALLY that so you're putting words in my mouth"[/QUOTE] Except people keep implicating that I insulted pro-gamergate people, I said I didn't understand them but nowhere did I call them stupid. I called gamergate stupid, that is to say the actual events

I called gamergate stupid, that is to say the actual events[/QUOTE] So the thing those people care about is stupid? It's stupid to care about then? People who care are stupid. I don't have to put a word in your mouth to know what you meant
All I see is Irockz threadshitting tbh
[QUOTE=Doctor Zedacon;50985879]Yeah, Ian Cheong actually turned out pretty cool like a year ago. Something happened and he got really pissed off with the rest of them, then he did a little looking around himself and realized how shit they really were and turned against them completely.[/QUOTE] Nothing 'happened', he just took a real hard look at himself and the people next to him and did what only great men and women can do... get out the trenches, dust yourself off and say fuck this shit ive wasted too much of my time and respectability already. I cannot express how much respect that earns in my book, even if for example it happens because you had the lid close on your nose or some other reason.
[QUOTE=V12US;50985595]People may not take gamers seriously, but this is nothing new. Gaming media poisoned their own wells by shitting on their own audience, and the regressive left has become a joke. Dedicated "social experts" now write for clickbaity tabloid trash, indie devs are by standard seen as pretentious sanfran hipsters, and game journalists have their image reduced to blogging clowns with big egos. Gamers lost nothing, because we had nothing to lose. Gaming media? They lost influence, respect and income. They will eventually realize they were basically used by professional victims/manipulators, who now that the controversy has pretty much died down also find they have less and less attention and support with each passing day. Again, we had and still have nothing to lose. We win this war by default, because we only have win conditions.[/QUOTE] They made the mistake of shitting on people with a stubborn "winners never quit, quitters never win" mentality. Grinding for a lowly reward is not at unnatural occurrence, so 'journalists' and their friend's artificial shitstorm were viewn as yet another annoying challenge to overcome in order to move on. Those hypocritical fuckers could've put all that effort into something productive, but fuck that, time for a circlejerk demonizing good videogames and instead praising walking simulators with a weak story tacked to it.
[QUOTE=Irockz;50987070]Oh yeah don't get me wrong I think this group of people are pieces of shit[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Irockz;50987021]Are you fucking kidding me? It's the third quarter of 2016 and people are still going on about gamergate? It was stupid then and it was stupid now and I seriously don't understand why anyone takes it seriously at this point[/QUOTE] "Yeah those people are awful and should be stopped but I seriously don't understand why people try to stop them, it's stupid." Logic doesn't seem to be your strong suit.
So what happens now with all this information brought to light? Anything substantial? Heads rolling?
[QUOTE=Warriorx4;50988483]So what happens now with all this information brought to light? Anything substantial? Heads rolling?[/QUOTE] People are considering taking legal steps atm. but its unknown if they can make a solid case.
