Journalism and sexism in the games industry
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to LadyCrimson's topic in Way Off-Topic
Apparently malware warnings were popping up when a lot of people viewed the site. I'd have to ask for more info but the idea was that it was possibly a IP harvester. Best to stay away until someine can confirm IMO. As to gamergate fatigue, I'm honestly in the same boat. 8chan has usurped halfchan and I now have /leftypol/ and /v/ to haunt, most games media have ad what little credibility they had ripped to shreds and set on fire, BasedGamer, and the would be censors seem to be universally reviled by most not involved. I'm more than happy to let it fade into the background while I slowly drink myself to death while being ready to spring back in if we get another happening. -
No honeysuckle, it's to point out that moot left 4chan. That's why there's a link to moot's post about leaving 4chan. No, the sensible folks here have far more esteemed things to discuss such as the lore of power armor in Fallout, the merits of kill experience in arrpeegees, and various conspiracy theories.

Some concern over it being an IP address honeypot. Some anons were looking into it last I heard. -

Which is why I'm interested. The next person that says "But what are you all so afraid of?! There is no censorship!!!" Look at what can and has happened. You should be, the American comics industry took a huge hit from the CCA and the only survivors were the large publishers who could afford not selling the popular sci-fi and horror comics. Nowadays American comics struggle to sell 40,000 copies per monthly issue, have high prices for little content(which is why pirating them has become so rampant), and are just now able to produce commercially viable comics that aren't superhero books. Imagine something like this happening to videogames and the picture is not very pretty. The funny thing is that the arguments of Fredric Wertham(whose hitpiece book Seduction of the Innocent is what contributed greatly to the moral panic preceding the CCA) resemble those of certain commentators on videogames, such as that they influence the attitudes of young people who play them and make them more violent. http://news.illinois.edu/news/13/0211comics_CarolTilley.html The above link goes over how he misused the data gathered to construct his arguments. It should look familiar as there is also no scientific evidence of videogames affecting behavior yet some still insist it does. -

I'd wager the Comics Code Authority. Essentially it was a set of standards imposed by an organization funded by the large comic publishers in response to moral panic. The result was censorship of non-CCA approved comics, in that such comics wouldn't be distributed widely and the average reader wouldn't have access to them. It parallels the current moral panic IMO. -
It was Mitt Romney.

No wonder they hate meritocracy, they don't have anything of value to contribute. -

I think Chu mentioned something about past deeds being held against someone, so I mentioned what about Ian Miles Cheong and his Nazi past. -

So now we're as bad as Anders Breivik? Can someone explain to me how sending e-mails to Gawker's advertisers and donating money for pr0n is as bad as gunning people down? -

Isn't that, by definition, discrimination? Yes. The best way to fight discrimination is to discriminate. -
