[QUOTE=Hat-Wearing Man;47645960]I haven't seen Reimu around for quite a few months[/QUOTE]
Reimu wanted to distance themself so their work wasn't constantly hit with people bringing up GamerGate.
Me an Uber do a weekly podcast with them.
[QUOTE=fruxodaily;47646006]Look anytime I try to argue against GG, a lot of you come out swinging punches. I'm chill as fuck, like I don't care so take my mentality and just see what I'm seeing
Again, I used to be big on this. I'd frequent that thread in GD, make countless twitter posts, even showed up on KoP's hitbox stream once and got this skype message from Milo

its more of a reflexive action at this point after having enough people spew absolute garbage about it *cough snake7 cough*, not that you are at all, you're being chill about it right now
[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;47646007]Ugh we still have people who care about things I don't care about? How fucking dare you people care about things I think are stupid, why aren't you all listening to me?!
Seriously though, for at least the time being, almost all of GG's targets have significantly changed their ethics and disclosure policies, LIKE WE WANTED. Oh wait, is it meaningless and non existant because you said so? That seems to be the point you're making here.

Laughably arrogant, a wonderful self applicable term for you[/QUOTE]
It is nauseating to hear this garbage. There's my justification for my stance on it.
At the end of the day games journalism is probably still corrupt, and while I can't not appreciate some changes I hesitate to believe any great accomplishment has been made. Sticking to the Gamergate moniker, adding to the flamewar and dividing into sides, you're fueling something moronic.
How am I arrogant when I'm not giving this opinion out out of pride or an exaggerated sense of importance just because I've got contempt for the shit throwing fest going on here
[QUOTE=Dr.Critic;47645998]Ugh, we're still fucking talking about Gamergate? Even after months upon months of plain as day evidence that is 90% an opportunity for people to be completely juvenile shitheads towards each other and engage in the internet's biggest flame war, driven on mainly because of the perception that the other side is all misogynists or feminazis?
It is not a debate, it is a spitting argument. Believe what you want to believe and vocalise it, but if you actually want to actively engage in this tripe, well, I have no words for your stupidity.
Yeah, I should probably point out a few laughably arrogant people are going to claim big changes to journalistic integrity were made. Pfft. Dream on.[/QUOTE]
And yet you come here and post just to say how stupid we, a sizable group of people, are. "GUYS LOOK AT HOW MANY FUCKS I DON'T GIVE! LOOK AT ALL THE SHITS JUST LYING AROUND BECAUSE I DON'T GIVE THEM!"
Who's laughably arrogant here?

You're arrogant in the most obvious of ways.
"This is entirely stupid because I declared it to the most monumental of fuck ups." Who the fuck are you to decide that any and all interaction with this is stupid? Why do you get to decide that? How is that not arrogance on your part?
"Dividing into sides"? What are you on about? Yeah, people have opposing views, and the people who we're generally speaking, up against, are fully capable of just ignoring whatever we say and putting words in our mouth in the media. How dare we fight for anything we care about?
And you can say this without seeing your own arrogance? Hot fucking damn.

Hm.
So, how do you suppose we fix that problem?
Lotta words for what essentially boils down to "Look at me, aint i smart for actin like a dick for the attention and not knowing, and not bothering to do any research into, what im talking about?"
[QUOTE=AaronM202;47646053]Hm.

I dunno man, he seems to suggest we should all be apathetic and do nothing about it.
[QUOTE=Van-man;47646056]I dunno man, he seems to suggest we should all be apathetic and do nothing about it.[/QUOTE]
It's actually funny how little self awareness that post had.
[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;47645787]Wow, what a mature and measured response that a rational and calm person would totally have! This is how adults in the real world act![/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;47645775]How do you even construct sentences that make grammatical sense if this is how you think[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Swilly;47645702]I think Tard's just annoyed and jealous that GG was right and a bunch of sites fixed their ethics policies as well as took a large hit in revenue.[/QUOTE]
can someone actually say an absolutely harmless opinion on here without getting flamed by a bunch of people whilst trying to take some sort of high ground
like rational and calm people don't get worked up about some guy on the internet not liking some movement, that whole incident with unidentified flying tard was painful to read
[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;47646073]can someone actually say an absolutely harmless opinion on here without getting flamed by a bunch of people whilst trying to take some sort of high ground[/QUOTE]
The "I'm right and you're wrong" mentality killed both sides purpose
[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;47646073]can someone actually say an opinion on here without getting flamed by a bunch of people whilst trying to take some sort of high ground[/QUOTE]
So when people come here to tell us we're fucktards for caring about this, we should do what in your opinion?
7 months and people still feel the need to deny anyone who cares about GG a valid reason for them to care about it.
Almost all the arguments we see are people attacking us for caring about it, who don't give a shit about the issues in the first place. What do we do then? Just shut up and let people berate us as they have for most of our lives?
If people don't even want to come at us with reasoned arguments and rationed statements, then why the fuck should they be treated better? They come to antagonize and we're supposed to just let them?

idk apparently being a one sided dick about things is the right way to convince people that you're in the right
i thought gamergate was about fighting journalists who were one sided dicks about things

How are people in this thread being one sided dicks? They're being told "Hey what you care about is dumb, don't care" repeatedly by people. Standing up to that is wrong?
Fuck me, I guess we should all roll over
You got heated when I said minor observations
Like I have the right to an opinion. Just lay down with this defensive strategy and be chill
[QUOTE=Van-man;47646056]I dunno man, he seems to suggest we should all be apathetic and do nothing about it.[/QUOTE]
I'm actually pointing towards reinvention. Gamergate is mixed up in a row over feminism and misogyny and all of that because of its origins in Zoe Quinn.
I've said continue to talk about games journalism corruption quite clearly but the "I'm going to take a side, look at me I'm a [I]fighter[/I]" stuff is something I do not agree with

Wait, so you're complaining about people being "one-sided dicks" in defense of the guy who's refusing to listen to other people and is acting like a dick?

No?
Not really.

Do you know how many times he's dropped in to say shit unironically with no intention of having a discussion about it? He's dropped in more times than I can count to say "You guys are stupid for caring about this" in various different terms while ignoring anything anyone has to say about it.
Yeah, god forbid someone lose their patience with someone who has no intention of doing anything but antagonizing us.
[QUOTE=fruxodaily;47646109]You got heated when I said minor observations

You can have your opinion.
Is it defensive to state MY opinion in contrast to yours?
Where do we draw the line that basically says "GG you can't talk about things" because we keep drawing closer to that with the tone policing being used.
[QUOTE=Hat-Wearing Man;47645960]I haven't seen Reimu around for quite a few months[/QUOTE]
Know how everyone says gg moved on from zq? He didn't, he's disassociated and is supposedly still trying to repair what's been done between her and eron. That was his angle all along ( I think ), the abuser call-out and trying to get people to realize that she hurts others.
[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;47646105]How are people in this thread being one sided dicks? They're being told "Hey what you care about is dumb, don't care" repeatedly by people. Standing up to that is wrong?

my definition of standing up for someone must be wrong
i don't see how flaming someone for coming in this thread for not sharing the same opinion as you is standing up for yourself.
like if he came in this thread and called you all faggots then maybe I could consider it standing up for yourself if you say "What's your deal lol"

kindof hard when you throw accusations around like that.

you flaming him pretty much proves him right; the stereotype for both sides is literally flaming the other side until someone cries

Is him giving his opinion in a completely fair and rational fashion.

"You guys are deluded and don't care about the truth"
Yeah, he should just be allowed to state that without anyone standing up to him at all. I keep being told that I'm not allowed to state my opinion on this as strongly as the people who would talk over me, it's fucking bullshit.
The way GGer's get flamed is okay, but god forbid we say anything in return... Bullshit.
[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;47646140]you flaming him pretty much proves him right; the stereotype for both sides is literally flaming the other side until someone cries[/QUOTE]
He wasnt flaming though?
[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;47646140]you flaming him pretty much proves him right; the stereotype for both sides is literally flaming the other side until someone cries[/QUOTE]
someone's trying to take the highground without a valid argument.
[QUOTE=Zang-Pog;47646123]Are you purposely trying to shove words into peoples mouth or are you that delusioned lol
If you don't have anything useful to contribute to the conversation, don't stand in the edges of it and try and throw witty punches at people discussing this, you're not achieving anything other than making yourself look like an idiot[/QUOTE]
what? that's kinda what everyone is doing here. throwing witty punches at eachother. I'm trying to point out the hypocrisy here.
im not throwing words in other people's mouths, where have I done that?
[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;47646140]you flaming him pretty much proves him right; the stereotype for both sides is literally flaming the other side until someone cries[/QUOTE]
SO what wouldn't prove him right? The 50+ times where we calmly tried explaining why he was wrong? Where there was no flaming, only offering information?
Yeah, that failed. Do we just continue down the same path of him burning us, and ignoring us?
[QUOTE=AaronM202;47646142]Yes because

i don't think i was ever defending dr critic, i didn't even know he existed
-Wait hold on, im confused-
