"I've been battling with the struggle of love and anger and the anger has won. It's impossible for me to go back to the way I was. I've tried changing back but it didn't work. I still had it in me and doubt it will ever go away. I have no control over it anymore. It has become part of me."
The media keeps trying to sensationalize it and make it seem like we're in it to bully women and harass people, but the reality is all we want is journalistic integrity.

Also moot is a traitorous sellout whore.

That's understandable, coming from a journalist major.

The problem is a lot of these journalists are using games media as a way to push their social ideology and politics, and they're all in bed with each other, pushing out anyone who won't follow the lead.
Then you have the patreon money getting passed around, and devs sleeping with journalists.
You can't trust anybody's word anymore.

The whole situation is a mess.

Wow, both of those articles were so one-sided it's not even funny.

How do they actually know the guy who threatened Anita was even related to gamergate? She's been facing heavy criticism since she debuted years ago, mostly because she's pretty much the new Jack Thompson (who also was subjected to death threats, mostly for being a liar). Everything I've seen from the actual Gamergate side has been about journalistic integrity, not anti-feminism save for those like Zoe Quiin who try to use feminism as a shield to cover up their corruption.

I'd also like to explain how we were driven from /v/

Moot, you see, has a girlfriend. This girlfriend works for Gawker media.

It just so happens that Kotaku, the biggest enemy of the GG movement, is owned by Gawker.

I think you can see why he did what he did, now.

He also purged a large number of mods who were against this decision.

emigrate or degenerate. the choice is yours
My thoughts?

A bunch of reprehensible psycho twats thought it would be suitable enough to inject their putrid ideology into the gaming industry then subsequently call the victim card when criticism got a little bit too rough for their delicate sensibilities.

That's my thoughts on Gamergate.

My stupidity is self evident.
>"literally who" ends up in bed with a number of individuals in the industry, including journalists
>whether this was done on purpose for good press is beside the point as a journalist sleeping w/ a source is clearly a breach of ethics
>gamers raise a relatively small stink over it
>gamergate hashtag is created sometime around here
>gaming press paint those that use it as misogynists and begin doubling down on pushing ideology
>gamers go "no, frack you"
>press puts out something like 10 articles in a day all stating the same thing
>clear evidence of collusion
>journalists/SJWs shit up social media
>#notyourshield is created to help minority individuals defend themselves from SJW shit slinging
>Breitbart of all places pick up the situation
>Milo receives GameJournoPros mailing list from unnamed source
>contains more evidence of breaches of ethics
>various people w/in the industry lose their shit
>
>I'm missing stuff here, feel free to fill it in
>
>mainstream media begins "covering" the story
>they cover it in shit


It's a pain but it's necessary.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
I've no real idea what is going,and frankly don't care. Gaming journalism was always generally crap, and reviews always appeared rigged (and recently come to light that some were accentuating the positives of games such as BF4 to boost sales).

Though I do have a qualm with this:
Quote
The gaming universe has expanded beyond consoles in recent years to include players — many of them women — of casual and social games such as "FarmVille" and "Candy Crush." According to one survey, 48% of gamers are now female.

Call me a console elitist, but I'd hardly call Candy Crush or FarmVille fracking games, definitely not "social games". Time wasters maybe, but not games and I'd vouch that it screws up the stats a bit. I want to see stats for PC and Consoles, phones can have their own stat which I'd guess would be largely a female base.

The worst part about the entire thing is that the media is blaming gamergate for the actions of people trying to discredit gamergate.

Seriously, game journalists should just do their job and report on games, instead of generate constant political click-bait.  Plus, I really don't give 2 shits what Cracked.com thinks about sexism in the industry: get back to writing useless stories about cats and Nickelback, or whatever.

A good chunk of Anita's arguments are just pure cherry-picked bullshit targeting games that she clearly didn't play enough of, but she does make a few valid points at times.  Either way, I don't think the gaming industry supports rape culture as much as these SJWs making victims out of themselves like to make it out to be doing: and because of that, they like to label people like me as a defensive man who doesn't want to see change.

On top of that, it's really easy to make yourself seem right when you turn ratings/comments off.  Then the only way people can see counter-arguments/public opinion is if they do extensive research, digging around on Twitter, and various no-name Youtube response videos: who's going to waste their time doing that?

The extremists sending death threats are complete retards: aside from the fact that they're sending death threats over a Youtube series, could you think of a faster way to make someone look like a hero for doing what they're doing?

I generally fall into the TotalBiscuit / Erik Kain / Boogie camp.
Started off neutral, but ended up getting pushed towards pro GG because of journalists flat out lying and twisting the narrative.

Was interested in to it when it first came into the scope of the Internet, however I couldn't care less about it now. It's been dragged out way too long.
