Blarghagh Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 can someone explain "based" to me? The googles say something about some rapper but its vague. Based is based in reality. It's analogous to down to earth, practical. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcador Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Ah, Twitter hardmen. Wu's gone full into that, rather bizarre to watch from the outside, tweets about blows against GG or whatever and her followers responding with adulation. Why has elegance found so little following?

Malcador Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Latter, definitely. Everyone likes to give money to a cause, make yourself the face of it - a victim works well for this - and cash will start to flow to you. Segal's suicide nonsense recently got her a spike on Patreon, Quinn had or has the same, haven't checked but I am sure Alexander does as well. Why has elegance found so little following?

Longknife Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Worth a chuckle. People aren't referring to you as a professional victim because you're a woman, they're referring to you as a professional victim because you broadcast your bomb threats and conveniently make sure to advertise your new video within the same week.

Namutree Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Rail about the latest outrageous thing on twitter all you want-- the message that the public gets is stillIt doesn't matter what the non-gaming public gets because this doesn't concern them. This isn't an attempt to get the public to support us. It matters a great deal for the business side of gaming as investing is driven by public perception.Both sides poisoning the well does us no favors. Gamergate has already achieved some of it's goals; so I say stay the course. "Good thing I don't heal my characters or they'd be really hurt." Is not something I should ever be thinking.

Oerwinde Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I've found two things about the media coverage lately 1) Anti gamergate articles are getting more hostile and ranty, which smells of desperation 2) there are a LOT more either balanced or full on pro gamergate articles as time goes on. 1 The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

Zoraptor Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I think the SJWs are a bit baffled that their usual tactics aren't working as well as they usually do, running up against people who simply don't care about the opinion of the public at large has caused some confusion. That's why you have some pretty much declaring all the BBC, NYT etc coverage as being victory (the use of 'big push' by several prominent antiGGs was somewhat amusing, why not use Douglas Haig's WW1 terminology for moving his drinks cabinet 12 feet closer to Berlin/ sending infantry walking at machine guns...), and being increasingly annoyed that the other side doesn't seem much concerned at all about them. That's the fundamental problem that the antiGG side and the SJWs specifically have. Previously they've tended to come up against people who care about public opinion and can be effectively influenced by that, boycotts and the like; being able to slowly split bits off the opposition as entities bow to the pressure piecemeal. Indeed, that is largely why they've got such a stranglehold over the gaming press, anyone speaking out there is vulnerable to blackballing and the website owners to boycotts, being labelled as misogynist and other influences, and for a commercial enterprise those are critical concerns. GG is a rather different beast, it is decentralised so there are no practical central figures to attack, no financial support to try and remove and since many have lived through the 'games are satanist' and 'games cause school shooting' witch hunts there's very little concern about general public opinion and the media. In fact, negative media coverage tends to reinforce rather than damage the basic support for GG because that sort of behaviour is exactly what many have disliked and a large part of what caused GG in the first place. Add in things like trying to trash talk people who are quite likely to have been exposed to the more... interesting social interactions of MP gaiming and you get the feeling there's a very basic lack of understanding underpinning the whole thing. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirottu Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 It does really confuse me that they did try this before with the "gamers are dead" articles. It didn't work then and only bought lots of people to the pro-GG side. Now they are trying the very same thing again. This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.
