boo, i dont want to make an account...

none.

The downward spiral came from the unverified crap that #GG jumped on and the courting of right wing loony websites like Breightbart and The Blaze that were trying to politicize it which is exactly what the original #GG didn't want. However the conservitards that joined in wanted to fight the evil liberal boogyman and started to try and push out the original people who understood that #GG needed to be a movement that incorporated the entire political spectrum. Whenever they pointed out that going to places like The Blaze and Breightbart is no better than going to a place like Huffpo they were told that "liberals control the media so we have to go the the only people who won't stifle free speech." "Conservatives will be the saviors of gaming" et cetera, et cetera. Which not only proves that these new people didn't understand the point of #GG, but they also had a very poor understanding of the history surrounding the far right when it comes to media in this country. Personally this new influx of people who were trying to turn it from a full political spectrum thing to a purely conservative one is what ended up making me lose interest.

Examples of unverified claims being the whole Anita not donating money to charity, the whole Anita never contacted authorities thing (she contacted the FBI, everyone assumed that because she didn't contact her local police she was lying), John Blow being connected to racketeering, Phil Fish being under FBI investigation, and a few other things that escape me at the moment.

unfortunately the only places that would cover #GG were Republitard's soundboards. cant really stop them from publishing articles. Conservatives wont be the saviors of gaming, lol.
you said Anita, but i think you meant Zoe. that whole kerfuffle is bullshit, 'the proceeds were donated in another name' why? that should make her look bad, not the people trying to make sure the money went where it was supposed to.
where is even Phil Fish?

_{bumping this because its not that old and i dont want to make a new thread.}

But the OP is overreacting and the only places that are really being affected are /b/ /v/ and /stormfro- I mean /pol/.

The cancer is leaving en mass so the rest of the boards are actually celebrating some what. Besides #GG was starting to slip into a downward spiral. They were courting right wing media to spread a lot of stuff that hadn't been completely verified and a bunch of it ended up blowing up in their face. I blame the influx of redditfags for this though since the original #GG people knew not to do that shit before actually making sure the allegations were true. That and the few right wing media outlets that did comment on it were trying to politicize it and make it look like an anti-feminist movement in order to drive their own agendas. Which of course ends up putting people off instead of bringing them in.

In short #GG started off good and then started fucking up. Is the alleged ejecting of old mods a terrible thing? Yes (if true), but for boards other than /b/ /v/ and /pol/ nothing has really changed.

i dont go on 4chan, but this censorship is sad. thats all.

the inclusions of politics in #GG has made me leery, mostly because of the 'us' and 'them' mentality that comes with the subject matter. i dont like the Left or the Right taking sides to push their agendas.

downward spiral how?
what unverified shit blew up, i must have missed that.
