Indiegogo Fine Young Capitalists campaign shut down. - Polidicks

[QUOTE=finbe;45788631][img]http://i.imgur.com/UrPVKpB.png[/img] absolutely disgusting how she's comparing bombthreats and fearing for your life = faking getting hacked and creating internet drama.[/QUOTE] I don't get it to be honest. What does that have to do with this? What are they talking about?

[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;45788924]I don't get it to be honest. What does that have to do with this?

[editline]24th August 2014[/editline] God Fucking Dammit. I can't even play games anymore, going near them just makes me think of all this.

well i guess we're all terrorists because some people on the internet said so pack your bags for guantanamo everybody

I just dropped my smoking habit too, now I need a cig.

[QUOTE=Swilly;45789026]I just dropped my smoking habit too, now I need a cig.[/QUOTE] No you don't.

[QUOTE=Eva-1337;45788402]But isn't the genie already out of the bottle that /v/ gave them an assload of support?[/QUOTE] Remember that these are the same people who demanded that Fine Young Capitalists refuse /v/'s funds because they were the "cathedral of misogyny".

[QUOTE=Crimor;45788665]Haven't seen much if any of that on SA, maybe it's because I mainly hang around in the games subforums.[/QUOTE] Something Awful seems to be against Zoe, but in their weird, passive-aggressive way where they talk shit about how dumb and stupid it is over and over to the point you know they're interested, but they don't have the balls to actually say it.

[QUOTE=Ganerumo;45789050]Remember that these are the same people who demanded that Fine Young Capitalists refuse /v/'s funds because they were the "cathedral of misogyny".[/QUOTE] Does this mean sites like reddit and neogaf are chapels of misogyny?

what the fuck is even the point of getting rid of this indiegogo thing? are they just trying to piss people off?

[QUOTE=Rockeiro123;45789206]Does this mean sites like reddit and neogaf are chapels of misogyny?[/QUOTE] That's Reddit's title. Neogaf is the Shed of Shills.

I'm waiting on hearing slowbeef's opinion, personally. I'm not sure if he will though. It would be a great Retsutalk topic, or even something for Video Game Therapist, but I think part of him wants to stay away from this shit for a very, very long time.

They learned that after they found out shmork was a diaperfur. [editline]24th August 2014[/editline] Also when the fuck can we purge these gaming journalists or whatever from the industry, I mean fuck.

THIS JUST IN: Most popular indie games were actually overhyped bullshit circlejerked around communities and journalism where the devs had connections.

This is really getting out of hand isn't it Can't we all just sit the fuck down and drop our arguments and fucking play video games The internet is a place i love but i also really hate cause of bullshit like this

Huh, 4chan has some people in law trying to issue some legal claims? Just stumbled on this tonight. Doxxing info leaked is kinda suspicious: [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/MgcApFb.png[/thumb] imgur link - [url]http://imgur.com/MgcApFb[/url]

[QUOTE=tempunary;45789242]what the fuck is even the point of getting rid of this indiegogo thing? are they just trying to piss people off?[/QUOTE] If I gather correctly, this Indiegogo campaign run by TYFC received donations from 4chan, who wanted to support a gender equality-based cause that actually wasn't shitty/self-absorbed like Quinn and her ilk. That, or just to piss her off. Anyways, Quinn got hilariously pissed over TFYC being willing to accept 4chan's donation, calling them "a cathedral of misogyny". As far as I know, they still accepted it because they need the money and don't share her opinion, plus 4chan created a character for them to work with under a specific donation amount bonus. Taking a wild guess based on the above info, I'd say the hacks on the campaign page are probably being done by tantrum-throwing idiots, who agree with Quinn that TFYC shouldn't accept money from 4chan. In other words, fucking morons are getting mad that some people they don't like, which they don't like mainly because one idiot said they were 100% bad with no evidence, donated to a cause they might find favorable.

If its all in Zoe Quinn, who doesnt seem to exist because its I dont think its a legal name change, and this Zoe Quinn never reports to the IRS because Zoe Quinn isnt actually making money. Its Valkenburg, but the account information could be all Zoe Quinn, which would be illegal I would assume when accepting money like that?

[QUOTE=HoodedSniper;45789707]Its Valkenburg, but the account information could be all Zoe Quinn, which would be illegal I would assume when accepting money like that?[/QUOTE] That and I think they're researching the tax fraud claims. Will be interesting to see what they come back with tomorrow though.

He was having a conversation with a lot of different people about what was going on, pretty much up until today. He's mildly interested, but he's reserving judgment. He doesn't get along with InternetAristocrats though, due to the Dina shit.[/QUOTE] Even still, when you say something like that you deserve to be called a dumb ass.

[QUOTE=Swilly;45789740]Time to wake up to the next shitstorm, on the first day of my classes.[/QUOTE] Both of them have legal connections, and someone else is preparing to contact the IRS(?). It's in the archives, IIRC. Sounds like they might do a lot of damage if they get the IRS's attention. Which seems likely, if Quinn was sloppy about getting her name changed, etc [editline]25th August 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=Thlis;45789762]I am really fucking disappointed in how Slowbeef approached this whole thing.

Was a long time coming.

Is anyone able to summarise all of what's happened? I've been reading and reading and it's just doing my head in... haven't been following the news too closely lately so I think I missed most of the drama. Some kind of connection to Phil Fish's supposed 'hacking'? I don't quite understand what's going on. I did read some picture compilation which touched on a LOT of various topics in relation to all of this, but some kind of simple timeline just to get me up to speed would be great. Also, is that Somethingawful thread archived anywhere still? People keep mentioning it but I have no idea what it was...

Slowbeef is a smart dude. I don't think he will do knee jerk bullshit.

[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;45789811]Slowbeef is a smart dude. I don't think he will do knee jerk bullshit.[/QUOTE] Agreed. Again, I was following his twitter, and he noticed that certain things aren't adding up... but that there is a lot of bullshit flying around at the moment, and there isn't really much to talk about until the dust clears. I was talking to voidburger the other day and it seems like she pretty much agrees that Zoe is shitty person but the harassment isn't warranted. I honestly think slowbeef will come to the same conclusion. Speaking of which, I'll probably step away myself for a little bit, since there really isn't anything too big happening. I'll pop in if something big happens or w/e.

[QUOTE=Swilly;45789812]Just watch the InternetAristrocrat's two videos. They sum up a lot.[/QUOTE] Alright cool, thanks. Just seems like there's so much going on and interconnecting in all of this, does my head in a bit.

[QUOTE=JohnFisher89;45789836]Slowbeef won't say anything that might hurt his commission from SA or YT; he will bias his judgement from what SA wants.[/QUOTE] I only know slowbeef from retsupurae, what's his relationship with SA?
