PK htiw klaw eriF Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 The problem with Twitter, especially, is the instantaneous nature of it. How many of those posters actually know anything about this story. Very few. They just jump on bandwagons. Outrage first, think never?

Shallow Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) Volo I'm extremely disappointed in your post, I always thought you believed in free speech. But it appears you don't. Its not going to happen but lets say all advertisers due to pressure from GG do pull out from a website like Gamasutra and they close down (as I said its highly unlikely but lets say it happens) Basically what you are advocating is because a website doesn't believe what you believe it should be put out of business. This is fascism and hubris of the worst degree, how are you going to sleep at night knowing you support an organisation (GG) that is so intolerant ? I don't agree with radical feminists but I don't think there websites should be closed down just because of what they believe You clearly don't understand the concept of free speech, you're entitled to say whatever you want, you're not entitled to be payed for saying it. If all advertising was cut, the owners went broke, and all SJW game journalism sites died out, there would still be a million essentially free (gotta have an internet connection, and something to type with ) sites they could post their views on. A website can't believe in something, it isn't sentinent, people trying to organize an organized boycott isn't some horrible fascist thing, it's one of the best ways to show strong disapproval in a fair manner, this isn't the state punishing them for their behavior either (like some government fellas wanted to do to Chick fil a), it's free peoples boycotting and encouraging the boycotting of a site that they believes uses its power to project political messages and propaganda that they aren't supposed to project. There's nothing intolerant about asking people to stop funding stuff, I highly doubt you'd be spouting the same statements if this was a discussion about chick-fil-a. Taken to the extreme the flawed logic you're using ****s all over tons of things I'm guessing you approve of, so I'd advice you reflect on it. tl:dr Free speech = Everyone has the right to speak, no one has the right to get payed for speaking, nor to have people not abandon you for the things you've said. Bruce doesn't understand free speech, and owes Volo an apology. Edited October 2, 2014 by Shallow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonek Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Indeed it seems very much out of fashion to stand up for those whom pay ones wages, and respect them, even though really it is just a sensible measure for anybody wishing to maintain financial viability. Game journalists might wish to remember this, before they are replaced utterly by Youtube or new sites. Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it?

Game journalists might wish to remember this, before they are replaced utterly by Youtube or new sites. They've already been replaced by YouTube for me. Watching TotalBiscut play Tropico 5 showed me much more about the game than some journalist whining that it didn't take social issues seriously enough. As it is, gaming journalism can just go **** off. They're corrupt, can't competently convey information, and have become obsolete.

Nonek Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I must admit, though i'd like a gaming press that is fit for purpose, I have not perused any major sites since since being called dead. Non professional sites, Youtube plays and fellow forumites are just as viable in terms of information i've found. 1 Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it?

kirottu Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Another screenshot about the same issue: I just don't understand how these people can still believe gamergate is just small number of white misogynists gamers? There's over million tweets with #GamerGate and over 30000 new tweets daily. At least update your argument to "large number of white misogynist gamers". 4 This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.
