Journalism and sexism in the games industry

Again, why are you all more focused on whether or not internet "celebs" are terrible people or not...

 

...Rather than focusing on figuring out how the Powerpuff Girls stopped Mojo Jojo, as that could very well be the key to ending this drama.

"The Courier was the worst of all of them. The worst by far. When he died the first time, he must have met the devil, and then killed him."

 

 

Is your mom hot? It may explain why guys were following her ?

I've been focused mostly on sending emails to advertisers. Speaking of which, apparently Gawker has lost Scrivener as an advertiser.

We also need to choose GamerGate's theme song. That's a top priority.


I vote this:

 

"The Courier was the worst of all of them. The worst by far. When he died the first time, he must have met the devil, and then killed him."

I think it's still an incredibly insensitive thing to say "the death threats you have received are bull****, given the fact that you're still alive".

 

Of course, given what we know about the murder (as far as I'm aware, the murderer killed his ex-girlfriend in a crime of passion - feel free to correct me if I've gotten something wrong) it has nothing at all to do with GG (wasn't even posted on a GGer site), making ZQ/BW's reaction extremely ill-considered at the very least.

Oh dear, insensitive. I did like seeing one guy's reaction to being doxxed and threatened, he invited the people making the threats to act on it and gamble that he wasn't armed. Quite an amusing discussion, that was. And yes, Quinn and Wu going "Woe is me" over some other lady's death was pretty dumb (as was the point made before).

\One HUGE difference. She made a unfort8nate woman's murder by some pychopatrhic piece of crap about her. No sympathy for the victim at all. Those who responded to her were responding top HER message which was no longer about the disgusting murder.

 

Why are you defending that piece of crap for being a piece of crap?

 

 

Me? What happened to the murder victim is disgusting and the concern should be for the victim, her son, and the rest of her family. THEN, the effects it's gonna have on the scumbag murderer's family who now have to deal with the fact that someone they cared about is a piece of crap and try to come to terms with that.

 

It's not about Wu whining about herrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

 

But, she is an SJW feminist. That's what they dooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...

In other, unrelated news, I laugh and laugh and laugh.

So what's the background to this backstabbing and conspiracy theorizing?

 

 

King of /pol/ source about anti-GG side sending death threats to themselves turned out to be fake:

In another news Gawker loses another sponsor:

http://theralphretort.com/disgraced-gawker-loses-another-sponsor/

 

Also, someone leaked bunch of DiGRA emails:

My take on all this: Drama doesn't matter, sending emails does. "Leaders" don't matter, people do.

Paraphrasing skewers the meaning. Either use a direct quote or don't write anything.

 

b.t.w. - people have an inherent right to disbelief. TB was saying hat he didn't believe the threats were actually dangerous. I share that opinion.

 

I don't ascribe to the notion that a "victim" has to be believed.

Hm...looks like Feminist Fequency might be doing some shady stuff.

Registering as charity, no public disclosure. Charity status questionable because of missing legal form. Still taking donations.

 

Some GG lawyers have been looking into it and there's definitely something there.

Waiting for verification.

I thought Kingofpol was who released the gawker guy stuff. Claimed his source was Totilo. The source for the sending themselves threats was someone in the FBI supposedly.

The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

No, that was Oliver Campbell.

 

Question. Who's the e-mail goal of the day? I went through the tag but I didn't see it. Ironically, leadership has made the tag degenerate into madness.

 

Yeah, Oliver Campbell had the source in the government that claimed that people were sending threats to themselves. Kingofpol claimed Totilo gave him the screencaps of the Nick Denton facebook posts, which turned out to be fake. Thats my understanding at least.

This has to be the worst kept secret on Earth. Like ok, being real here I have no proof of any of it. But as it's been discussed:

 

1) The Bay Area ain't cheap. If she lives in SF directly, then holy balls.

2) Feminist Frequency beat it's donation goal from Kickstarter by a clear mile. She then proceeded to upload less videos than ever before. Clearly that money really helped.

3) I fail to see how a Youtube program should ever be registered as a "charity."

4) We all know she lies and/or presents misleading info. Just watch her vids. Some are fine, others are blatantly full of ****.

5) Why on earth does this woman or this show need repeated donations...? She got like 160k for her show via kickstarter, I'd imagine she gets paid quite well for any speeches she gives, and her youtube videos DO get decent views, which itself is a modest sum of cash going her way. (assuming she's partnered, but I don't see why she wouldn't be) There's no reason she shouldn't be self-sufficient now.

 

 

To be honest I'd be more surprised if it turned out Anita wasn't involved in any shady dealings.

 

 

 

 

And on the subject of this drama with KingofPol, can we all agree we don't give a ****? Seriously, I haven't bothered reading a single thing about inner-conflicts because it's all irrelevant. It's basically the same soap opera drama of when we sit here fascinated that a guy called his customers fascists and he still has his job, except this is far less fascinating because it's just people fighting about who gets to be the most special leader cause egos. We've all seen that before, it's nothing special, it's just stupid.

   Only time I would bother looking into it is if the revelation that he lied somehow damaged Oliver's claims to the FBI.

I got my leaks all mixed up. 

 

I think the e-mail goal gets put up once USA wakes up.

Let's just email Gaben in the meantime and ask when the Spy vs. Engie update for TF2 comes out and how on earth he expects the Spies to stand a chance when the Pyros have sworn allegiance to the engies. Yknow, in the meantime. C:

I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiene"
