"Games journalism" is bullshit. To be honest, I couldn't give a shit about the personal lives of game developers/"journalists". All this talk of "muh journalistic integrity" and "muh ethics" has become just as mind-numbing as the SJWs complaining about "muh tropes" and "muh sexism".
In the grand scheme of things, video games aren't that important, and people who say otherwise are lying to themselves.
That's not really the crux of our argument though. We recognise that in the wider scope of social issues, ethical journalistic practices isn't going to be at the top of the list. Still, it was an underlying problem that had been niggling gamers for a while, and GG was the tipping point.
So why did GG become a thing after Zoe Quinn and not before when we all knew IGN, Activsion and EA etc were doing it for the best part of a decade?
Idk, I guess the Sarkeesian scandal and the dissatisfaction with censorious third wave tumblr feminism had a part to play. Whatever happened, happened, and now we're here. The controversy with Quinn was the precipice for a variety of reasons.
Yet none of those were as bad as what the triple A industry gets away with. Funny.
GG takes issue with them as well. You would know this if you took the time to research GG and not what the leftist groupthink spoonfeed you.
Again you're assuming that I'm from the SJW anti-gamergate.
I tend to avoid insufferable identity politics, but whatever you classify yourself as, you're simply incorrect either way.
Again you're still assuming.
What exactly am I assuming? You've made it perfectly clear that you haven't the foggiest idea about the GG movement or its motives as well as displaying a clear partisan bias against it. Not once in this thread have I called you a SJW or an anti GG member.

The only censor that I know about was the one about Zoe Quinn and her supposedly cheating. And you can see why she did it, (true or not). Would you want people making threads and videos about your personal life? I really don't give a fuck about Quinn and what she decides to put in her cunt. It does however, raise a few eyebrows when she actively sleeps with the gaming press a few weeks before the release of her game, because that would ultimately fall under a conflict of interest, reconciling with GG's ethics in journalism talking points.
There's damning evidence to suggest she faked harassment to gain sympathy points too, so I'll just add that as a little addendum.
Yeah I saw Sargons video about that, the anti GGers were quick to distance themselves from Chu. Chu just looks and sounds like a fucking spaz. Though it might not have actually been Chu but his twitter posts etc do make him look guilty. I've yet to see anyone from anti GG disown Chu, but okay, I'll just take your word for it.
Onto your first point, what's worse? Making videos about someones personal life and spreading chinese whispers It really doesn't fall into the purview of "personal" when you actively try to embroil yourself in conflicts of interest.
So Quinn is the one at fault and not the 5 guys? And what evidence that she faked harassment?
Both are at fault, really. Quinn for trying to promote her game unethically and the journalists who followed her footsteps. Basically she used Wizardchan users to feign harassment.

What the fuck even is gamergate?
Basically an anti SJW movement who harass people online and call it "ethics in games journalism".
Just saying what it objectively is. Anti-GG says they're harassers and GG says they're for "ethics in games journalism".
Well it's not really objective if you're just listing the opinions from either side of the debate now, is it?
It's not a debate when it's just people spewing bile at each other.
Sure, but it's pretty clear which side is demonstrably worse when they actively try to censor, libel and disown the other side through the corporate media. Not to mention, in recent news, a bomb threat was tossed around in a GG meetup that was supposed to be a social event where gamers could have fun and talk about ethics in game journalism, causing panic and a variety of disabled guests to be hauled out haphazardly. It was later discovered that Arthur Chu, a staunchly anti GG member (not third party trolls), was to blame, yet not a peep from MSNBC or CNN funnily enough.

Some fucking seriously disgusting victim blaming going on ITT.
I'm sure you guys would be flipping shit if the shoe was on the other foot and Christians/Jews started gunning down atheists and Palestine supporters.
But oh wait, when was the last time that happened?
It's not victim blaming when the victims may as well have held up a giant, flashy sign saying "HAY GAIZ! ATTACK US!!! PLEASE!!!"
I don't even know what to say to this.
You are truly abhorrent, in every sense of the word.
This attack is barely even comparable to Charlie Hebdo. These guys were having their stupid competition in a fortress against some losers who just got out spontaneously, so the only two deaths were the retards who attacked.
In Charlie Hebdo, they were defenseless against very well-prepared attackers, and it was really a disgusting and cowardly massacre. Completely different stories.
No they absolutely aren't. It's positively fucking pathetic in this day and age that we have to beef up security and employ fucking soldiers to protect an event that particpated in drawing pictures. I'll say that again. People have died and special law enforcement agencies are now beginning to be employed simply because people are having the gall to draw a fucking child molesting warlord scumfuck that existed 3000 years ago. Please pull your head out of your PC arse.

This argument is over. I don't care whether I'm considered the "winner" or "loser". But it's clear from your other posts that you hate Islam for more personal reasons, and I don't blanket hate on groups because of what a small minority of them have done.
Nope, I dislike Islam because of all the bullshit it causes and has caused. Apart from it personally affecting my and my family. And friends. I have Jewish friends in Israel who have grown up hearing bombs every night and have PTSD because of Muslims.
The violent Muslims are not a small minority. Not even close.
got some news to break for you, israel isnt some victim constantly under bombardment by the evil muslim overlords. israel and hamas are both equally at fault.
 I get that Israel isn't the completely innocent shining beacon of the Middle East, but comparing them to Hamas? Come now.

Literally the dumbest thing I've ever heard. A strong, united Empire can defend the Towers. Ulfuric is just a racist fuck creating an unstable state and disunity in the Empire, which the Thalmor want. To say any option other than siding with the Imperials is complete childish denial.
>he thinks the Thalmor can be defeated through a unified Empire
Lol, someone doesn't know the background of the White Gold Concordat
>Implying they can't be
lol you underestimate the underdog
You do realise the Thalmor have more than the means to turn The Empire into a smouldering crater in the Earth any time they want, right?
The only reason the truce was agreed to was because The Thalmor literally couldn't be arsed pouring the time , effort and money (which they most certainly have) into buttfucking the Empire. You're out of your mind of you think they stand a snowball's chance in hell against The Thalmor, unified or otherwise.
Like Door illustrated, the only way to beat The Thalmor is via religious means. Talos is pretty much the only card up Tamreil's sleave, which the Stormcloaks recognise.
Way to exaggerate the power of the Thalmor. Please give evidence as to this sudden huge amount of force they have, I'd like to know where they earned the ability to glass Tamriel in the blink of an eye.
Dude, they have the capacity to literally undo existence. The only thing stopping them is Talos. What makes you think a slugfest war is going to do anything?
"Undo existence" lmfao all they're trying to do is mix things together, not end existence
Dominion apologists pls go
Man it almost sounds like anti-natalism
I really don't see how you could look at this and go "hurr all dey want is 2 mix fings up a lil bit durr" They're basically the Elder Scrolls equivalent of The Covenant. Delusions of grandeur of being elevated to a higher existence at the expense of everyone else, and their puppet state (The Empire) isn't any better.
