Meshugger

There's no point in having a reasonable discussion with sites that wishes their audiences dead and think that they are racists, misogynists, terrorists and so on. No, the only option is to kill those sites economically through informing their partners to drop their financial support and expose them as the frauds they are. Then they can return to having a subsription model where they can have their circle-jerk of Dear Esters and Gone Home's for themselves, all while games and their creators are left alone to create what they wish.

But are they pro-corruption?

Daaawwwwwww

I, for one, do really enjoy this ride. The more mainstream media cries about misogyny, the movement gains and finds more corruption. The gaming media freaks out more and reaches again to the mainstream media, all while the GG'ers keep on grinding. It's the perfect feedback loop.

Are you seriously suggesting that the mainstream media is lazy or even skewed in some way?

Did Gamergate celebrate in a ritual dance, flinging bro-fists all around and drank to Ms. Day's tears? Atleast that's what the mainstream media says. Also, i learned on twitter that the shooter in Ottawa had a #Gamergate-tshirt. Those sounds like legitimate concerns from a non-biased citizen of the land.

To the Swedes on the board (mkreku and Kaftan). What in the living **** is wrong with your state media? http://www.gamereactor.se/blog/petter/777324/ No need for translation except for this part:

Clarification: by private twitter feed, I mean one that is tied to a private individual. Not a company, organisation or public persona. The kind of thing that is read by five people. It's less public than writing something in a toilet stall. You're scando, right? Then i understand on why those kinds of expressions work well with your friends on the factory floor, the workshop or during a BF4 deathmatch. No one takes those seriously and everyone understand the social dynamics involved. But on the internet those things do not work. You have no privacy. At all.

He should've written it in a silly foreign accent and everyone would've laughed and then forgotten about it.

If you have something to lose, don't ever post what you really think on the internet under your real name. Someone, somewhere will dig it out and smite you just to make them feel better about themselves. I blame lack of mandatory military service and lack of bar fights for this behaviour.

I don't think anyone can really reasonably say GG has not been tainted, whether they believe the "original intent" was an attack on women or for ethics in journalism. I mean, just look at the mountain of **** that anyone in the pro-GG camp is lumped in with now. Nah, it's still growing. Save that comment for when it has achieved critical mass. Then we can see if the negatives outweight the positives.

That's what makes this so fun to watch. 10 years ago it was the moral crusaders of our society that suggested that videogames were perhaps a bit violent. It's the same old type of authoritarians coming out of the closet to teach people what is good for themselves, all under the disguise of working for a better society, more civil society. And the targeted people will always push back, creating wonderful dramas of almost shakespearian magnitudes.

Yesterday it was BMW, today it was Adobe that dropped their support for Gawker. Also, i learned a new silly phrase today: "Internalized Misogyny". Such stupidity can only come from a university campus.

Did they actually think that the Sami weren't white? I suspect more of the regular old click-bait inanity instead.

So wait, Chloe was the one on IndiGoGo that committed fraud, the journalist that wanted to break the story was fired and bullied by the people at JournoPro-list and now she tried to commit suicide, all while people are using the phrase "Weaponize charity". If this was a script for a Hollywood-movie, i would throw it out of the window.

I would love to see her in a debate with TotalBiscuit. Has she even been in a televised debateto begin with?

Nothing really about the game, booooo.

Same. I was in my early teens when this was a cartoon on TV. Even though this was a show clearly aimed at girls, and I certainly wouldn't have owned up to it at the time, I certainly watched my fair share of the show back then. Edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRyDxEBiQUY Dear lord, i have all but forgotten that series. Thanks for reminding me of my childhood While we're at it, lets hope for a live action version of this one at the same time:

Not a believer myself, but while in Vienna i stepped in during mass to Peterskirche and it was really beautiful with a choir singing something in latin, but also in terms of architecture. It was less bombastic compared the Stephanskirche and Karlskirche. So in a way, atleast i can understand why such serene places offer a sanctuary for the spiritually inclined. That is as much help that i can give you

Point being that Cannibal Corpse has sold over a milion records with songs about mutilation of innocents without reason, so why are you people acting all surprised if such things would exist in games?

Errr, the whole Hyvä-veli mentality and sauna-evening meetings is one of the reasons why Finland has such bad competitiveness in the global market and why we have a state run by beaurocrats (think of the whole beer-festival on facebook-fiasco) to begin with. It is a ****ty practice no matter if you call not unethical or legal. But that's another discussion, back to topic.

Truth, justice and the american way! http://blogjob.com/oneangrygamer/2014/10/gamergate-destructoid-corruption-and-ruined-careers/ http://pastebin.com/nnR5gqdX

That's really the thing. Many of us played the South Park game, which was tasteless and horrible, but also hilarious and sardonic. Hatred looks rather pointless. Are the redeeming qualities that you can kill people and they will scream for mercy? Where is the audience for that? Why do people listen to Cannibal Corpse and Dying Fetus?

See post #65. Meh. Which is nothing i have against in principle, anyone has an opinion about anything. It's just that i do not like when journalists collaborate in a conspiracy to declare that gamers are dead.
