PK htiw klaw eriF Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I listened to that huffingtonpost stream with Brianna Wu and god she's kind of an idiot. Her opponent brought specific comparisons and pointed to specific articles in the law and all she could counter with is "You're wrong because I say so".

Blarghagh Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 What part crushed GamerGate?

HoonDing Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Morning update from twitter Here article from Social Researcher who analyses in the article why "#Gamergate, as we know it now, is a hate group." http://jezebel.com/gamergate-trolls-arent-ethics-crusaders-theyre-a-hate-1644984010 That is as much as objective as to asking Von Däniken why the US government is hiding UFOs. Is it to much to ask for a sociology scholar/professor, with no previous affiliation with feminism, to conduct some research? But do we now dismiss any opinions from feminists as "automatically biased " ? Any opinion expressed on the Internet Twitter is automatically dismissed. 1 The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

PK htiw klaw eriF Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 So I watched the entire thing. 1. Wu had more time to talk than either Erik or Hotwheels but managed to say less than either. 2. Erik Kain made his points clearly and came off as sensible. 3. From what I can tell, Hotwheels is right about the law. He is not legally responsible for the actions of those who post at his board. 4. Wu's warning to Hotwheels came off as threatening. 5. Hotwheels ****ing owned with that closer.

Elerond Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) I am always so happy to read twitter in these days Terrorist threats against Utah State University because they have Anita Sarkeesian as quest speaker in some of their events. Article writer of course remembers to link that threat to GamerGate. http://www.standard.net/Police/2014/10/14/Utah-State-University-student-threatens-act-of-terror-if-feminist.html TotalBiscuit has recover somewhat from his cancer treatments has come back to give defensive voice for gamergate. Washington Post gives their try to explain what GamerGate is and it don't draw very pretty picture http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-intersect/wp/2014/10/14/the-only-guide-to-gamergate-you-will-ever-need-to-read/ Edited October 14, 2014 by Elerond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Gamers didn't die, maybe journalism did. I mean put the context aside. Pretend this isn't about GamerGate and SJWs, pretend it's an article about Crips vs. Bloods. I still don't think there's any reason for such undeniable bias from a JOURNALIST, flaunting an opinion in the most hyperbolized, factual fashion imagineable. This might be the single most bias and terribly unethical article to date....and what's scary is it's not even from a gaming journalist with an already terrible reputation, who we'd EXPECT this kind of **** from... 1 "The Courier was the worst of all of them.

Oerwinde Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Has anyone noticed that few if any "legitimate" media sites mention the Gamers are Dead articles, which IMO are what turned this from a tiny internet spat into what it is now? 1 The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

Valmy Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 - I wish the media would realize that the "media censorship and corruption is a myth" claim can only be credibly made if you're willing to actually discuss those allegations instead of flat-out ignoring them and that doing so directly plays into the narrative of the group they decry. What exactly are the allegations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
