Longknife Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) That's why GG won't win, ridiculously easy for Sarkeesian when utilizing outside media. She should be grateful for this, I tell you Two reasons it will, plus a bonus: 1) We're the consumers. Those journalism websites won't last long with their pay docked. 2) Intel may get hardcore Israeli defenders involved with this accidently. Not trying to bring politics into this, but whether you support Israel or not....? I hope we can ALL agree Israel and it's supporters have quite a bit of influence themselves. Personal support or lack thereof for Israel is irrelevant, I just want us all to acknowledge Israel has a huge following. If anti-GG under McIntosh collides with Israeli support (which btw, a lot of Intel workers are hosted in Israel), we might see that anti-GG narrative begin to burn. 3) Today there's a thread suggesting journalists are taking the anti-GG spin not so much out of a hate for GamerGate in particular, but because they believe it sells. They believe this sensationalist BS will get viewership and readership from middle-aged parents, thus they buy into it for personal profit. The thread is by a professional journalist within the industry himself, and this claim is verified by the mods of the subreddit. While still disgusting, assuming this is true, it's good news for GamerGate because it means there is NOT NECCESARILY a target on GamerGate's back, and it would be possible to sell our side of the story amidst a journalist group or two.

I had a brief argument with the guy when he was here (I don't recall what about) and my argument at the time was torn apart in the space of a paragraph, but now I see he was going easy on me. Not his best work. I had virtually no objection to his previous GG piece, but this is, heh, problematic shall we say. He rails against 'the Gawker style' when employing an affected style himself, and the whole blog is replete with such stuff. Eg you certainly can 'punch down', in a national based publication, against a religion held by only around 7% of the population, a 7% which is definitively disadvantaged especially compared to the metro set epitomised by and which CH has as its main reader set. Indeed, one of his main earlier thrusts was that Chu could not comprehend the awesomeness of CH's satire because he couldn't speak french and thus lacked the essential context, so he has implicitly and explicitly said already that CH is aimed at the French (and hence, French Muslims), not the 1.6 billion worldwide muslims. Yet when convenient to his argument it's suddenly CH bravely taking on the whole, worldwide, 1.6 billion rather than the french 5 million- very Chu like logic there bro. Also, no mention of Judaism having 'special protection' in French law and that CH has sacked people for being 'anti Jewish' before. Really, 90% of it boils down to "I disagree with Arthur Chu and therefore he is a doody head", practically exactly the same as Chu disagreeing with CH and thinking they're doody heads, even using the same flawed logic and deliberate affectations to make the (reverse) points. (Note: I actually agree with most of what he says, Chu's a dismal writer with poor logic, and people should have the right to be asinine obnoxious morons, a right I'll happily defend with absolutely no intention of ever using it myself gratuitously. You'd just hope that most reasonable people would choose not to exercise that right, and would accept other people's right to call them asinine obnoxious morons when they do exercise that right. Note2: I do speak French to a reasonable level, am hard to offend and it's very infrequent that I get offended on someone else's behalf, since that's a monumental conceit to presume what others find offensive. So I have basically nothing in common with Mr Chu and don't agree with any actual limitations on free speech beyond the obvious ones: public safety, slander etc) Edited January 17, 2015 by Zoraptor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yikes!) "In an effert to reprogram the video game industry..." Saved in case of they are changing it: https://twitter.com/masterninja/status/556061930251890689/photo/1 That's why GG won't win, ridiculously easy for Sarkeesian when utilizing outside media. She should be grateful for this, I tell you I read the article and watched the whole interview with Anita which was painful at times. I want to share my views with you guys as I want to be constructive Firstly Malc raises a valid point but not for the reason he mentions. SJ causes are much easier to get support for from mainstream media like ABC. They have been doing it much longer and as you guys know certain media companies support SJ movement. Does GG have this kind of support so you can also get your message across because it you don't you are clearly at a disadvantage as people outside this discussion will only see one side Just from this documentary you can see how they have positioned GG and parts of it are unfair. Her interview wasnt that bad in the sense almost everything she said did happen, like her having bodyguards and Wu having to leave her house. But of course the context was missing and obviously she only spoke about the bad that GG has done. But she doesn't control the anti-GG movement and can't held responsible for what others say. Yet you guys are really judged and associated with one label for most people. Thats unfair as I said But the documentary wasn't very good for GG, it made it look quite extreme. But there was some alternative views from that Chris Scott guy its just not something most would remember, oh did you notice the "remove hookers from GTA was also raised " ....glad others are also suggesting it so it can't be such a bad idea ? But my point is you need to ask yourselves what you can do about this type of negative exposure? Maybe you don't care and maybe there is nothing you can do, I don't know ? I just know it cant be great to have a news channel and there audience think you are misogynistic, rednecks who are so opposed to change you resort to violence So in summary I do think overall the documentary clearly positioned the whole debate in a very one sided way...so some people will have the wrong idea about what GG stands for? 1 "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Zoraptor Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 There is the shanley vs milo (and Linus Torvalds) malarkey as well. But that's pretty run of the mill internet provocateure vs random target X stuff and only really significant for some more sjw wtfness and hypocrisy- open source is patriarchal rather than collaberative, who would of thunk? and the best way to dox a gay guy is to... post his phone number and get him sent masses of gay pr0n. Fortunately patreon is looking into the matter so I'm sure there will be a strongly worded letter of warning sent at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
