Well, looks like Mercedes Carrera may be having false popo reports filed against her.

 

Why do aGGros harass women so much?

Rather amazing this has been going on this long, isn't it.

It's easier to keep up momentum when you can do this without changing your schedule much.

What I find increasingly pathetic is how particular attacks are used against Gamergate, such as that we are privileged and have nothing better to do with our time, or that we were only motivated by the insults that game journalists have used against us, such as Ms Leigh Alexanders nasty little, negative, schoolyard tirades against gamers. Influenced by the fact of course that she is fundamentally unlikable, and so must seek a reasoning and an excuse to blame this on others, this time gamers. This straight after we have provided multiple reasons for our opposition to a medium that is acknowledged by everybody to be corrupt, unethical, unfit for purpose, regressive, anti consumer and by its own actions proven to be against diversity in gaming. Surely all of these points are together enough to make taking a stand against it sensible and pro consumer, as well as make a stand for development of progressive media, rather than simplistic linear picture book preaching.

 

But no, just like when denying that the twelve articles stating that gamers were dead and making a concerted attack on the consumer, they now frantically backtrack and state that these articles were not anti consumer and an outright attack. Except one only has to read them to see that they are, frenzied, poorly written attacks against a consumer whom they hate, who had dared to ask them to do their job. Any reasonable person would have simply said, fair enough, and implemented ethical policies, but that is not something they can do.

 

Why? Simple, because in demonising millions of innocent consumers from diverse backgrounds whom just happen to play games recreationally they see themselves standing as judges, betters, and looking down upon the herds of humanity, and sneering. For no reason they hate, condemn and ultimately demonise millions, without proof of ill intent or action, and to me that is a disturbing trend. No longer do the fashionably hateful just look down upon women, people of colour and anybody different for no good reason, they can now call them neckbearded, misogynistic, racist, bigoted, man babies, even though those epithets seem more suited to themselves by and large.

 

And now we are told that we should not ask the gaming press to do their jobs, to watch over publishers and inform the public of any lack of quality or anti consumer actions that may be occuring, we are told that publishers should guarantee their own quality and we of course should trust that. That we should listen to Goebbel's quote, "Listen and believe." Neither question those whom supposedly know better, nor raise any kind of logical argument against them, or mind when in their anti consumer arrogance they insult millions in a co-ordinated attack. 

 

Sorry, but to ask the seller to behave without any kind of supervision is idiotic and childish, and is an anti consumer dream. I realise that most antiGG and pro corruption proponents are not all that smart, after all we keep having to repeat the same things to them over and over, but it never penetrates the skull. Yet even they must see that if publishers have no supposed overseers, nor judges of quality, then their beloved regressive games journalism has no purpose, they are currently not fit for purpose as all agree, but remove this one last supposed reason to exist and then there is none. Their leaching friends will have to try real begging, amongst the real homeless, instead of on Patreon and compete with real victims rather than imaginary ones.

 

Or maybe even have to work every day of their lives like us privileged many, pay outrageous amounts of tax, prop up the economy of their country and spend the time, care and money on their children that will ensure they too grow up to be productive and useful members of society. Monstrous of course as that is.

Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it? That's what it is to be married with children.

I've seen things you people can't even imagine. Pearly Kings glittering on the Elephant and Castle, Morris Men dancing 'til the last light of midsummer. I watched Druid fires burning in the ruins of Stonehenge, and Yorkshiremen gurning for prizes. All these things will be lost in time, like alopecia on a skinhead. Time for tiffin.

 

Tea for the teapot!

Hey #GamerGaters and non-GamerGaters, take my example and put your money where your mouth is - I pledged already.

 

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/basedgamer-com

 

#GamerGate initiative (spearheaded by Jennie Bharaj) to create a gaming version of Rotten Tomatoes named Based Gamer (that will aggregate youtube reviews as well as written reviews) - it's an enormously well established concept with a thorough business plan. It's a step in the right direction, there's only 12 hours left and with so much already funded it'd be a shame if this didn't happen.

 

If it takes off, it'll solve many of the problems caused by Metacritic.

I remember this.  At the beginning it looked like it had little chance to make its goal, but it's going to be close.  Hopefully the goal is met.

Being ****ing retarded?

 

Spending too much time on twitter?

 

Applying blue dye to her dog?

 

Presenting a horrible company image?

 

Being bad at her job?

 

Daring to speak out against delicious KFC?

 

Having blue hair?

 

Acting like a child?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just pick one. The choice is yours.

I'm mildly curious, what bluehaired idiot?

Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L. Mencken

Some programmer who does animal abuse and created a blocklist that outed Colonel Sanders as Leader of GamerGate.

In other news, Jonathan McIntosh recently exposed a hashtag claiming to be in support of the victims of France's recent attacks of actually being about white supremacy: https://twitter.com/adrianchm/status/554782185413439489/photo/1

 

 

 

Thanks McIntosh. Where would we be without your guidance?

8chan down, domain name taken away by interwebs due to "child pornography". It then uses the domain name to host child pornography.

SJWs are really the cancer of society, they just keep spreading.

we pop in for a looksee at this thread 'bout once a month to see why it is still relevant. we always end up a bit befuddled.   no doubt there is some inside joke related to a blue-haired idiot who somehow outed the deceased patriarch o' a chain o' fried chicken restaurants.  am pretty sure kfc is owned by tricon, which were formed from the spin-out o' pepsico restaurant brands. am not certain why tricon, pepsico or kfc would have an interest in gamergate, or if col. sanders has risen from the grave to exact vengeance on pimply faced nerd warriors or sjw or... whomever.

 

is all very baffling.

 

HA! Good Fun!
