Journalism and sexism in the games industry


LadyCrimson

Recommended Posts

If you write 20-30 articles stating much the same thing you have 20-30 articles from 'authoritative' sources that can be cited on Wikipedia or by other articles as 'proof' that GG is Anders Breivik/ ISIS/ Torqemada/ Celine Dion/ Pauly Shore/ Vlad Tepes/ Sauron/ Darth Vader/ cultural marxism is a nazi plot/ whatever; as well as the very important aim of Establishing the Narrative. So you can write 'neutral' encyclopaedic phrases like "Gamergate has been compared to ISIS, Genghis Khan, Pol Pot and Ming the Merciless [1-20] ".

 

It's PR 101, get the message out, stick to it, repeat it and brook no compromise. Circularising things so that it appears there is widespread or even universal (except those evil doers, of course) support is a very useful technique for that. That is how any pressure group functions. Including GG at least to an extent, though obviously more via self publishing and a few select publications rather than concerted media push; and without the obvious authoritarian preaching of the cultural marxists.

 

 

meh, still dislike cultural marxist as a term, but if it bunches the panties of the Cultural Stalinists/ SJWs it can't be all bad

Edit: @Zoraptor - Agreed.  There is, unfortunately, some truth to the phrase "If you repeat something enough times, it becomes true."  That's a central tactic of propaganda, and it is effective.

I think that Amanda has watched that scene again and again for hours, just to be certain that mr. Baldwin was overjoyed saying it. I can also bet that she watched the rape scenes in 'Once upon a time in America' again and again to be absolutely certain that DeNiro was overjoyed doing it and did not refuse to doing it. 

 

Am i not at all subtly suggesting that she was furiously masturbating while conducting this research. Not at all.

You could have some fun with that logic though. Watch V for Vendetta, dob Hugo Weaving in for being a dangerous anarchist plotting to destroy Big Ben...

 

And isn't Baldwin's character actually buds with a black guy in FMJ? Haven't seen it for probably fifteen years so my recollection may be off.

Oh right. All hail the Narrative! Listen and Believe!

Prediction time: 

 

Lately Zoe Quinn has created a site for GamerGate survivors called "CrashedOverRideNetwork", which strangely enough got an article on The Verge within 48 hours of its creation. Now she has created a storify on Twitter where she talks about the connection between GamerGate and the /baphomet/ board on 8chan and what terrorists they are. There's even a thread there (i won't link it, search it yourselves due to all the NSFW going on there) where there are quite a suggestions to hack it. Turns out that half the comments are "Nopenopenope", "Nu-uh, no, no way", "Hi Zoe!" or "Honey-pot! Honey-pot!"

 

I bet that she will get harassed big time, get SWAT'ed or anything else that will potentially show her again as the victim, get to the news and try to destroy GG via /baphomet/ as proxy.

 

I hope my prediction is wrong.

Yup, Baldwin's character is the first one trying to save him as well. But that does not fit into the narrative of simpletons.

I believe that I may have suffered permanent cerebral damage from the amount of times i've facepalmed while reading anti-GG comments, so please donate to my Patreon. That's @RobinYu, thank you.

 

Edit: Can I claim that my hand is harassing me? Thinking about it there may be a possible sexual assault charge in there as well!

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!

I've mostly been here and on KiA, so I haven't actually seen much when it comes to GG crazies. Everyone here and there seems to be pretty sensible.

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

They consist of a select few on twitter(who seem to have died down for the most part) and King of Pol who got btfo after being an idiot.

Interesting that Quinn's site professes to have white hat hackers and infosec experts. So, what they're going to start counter-hacking people ? Remarkable amount of coverage for it though, even if I am left rather unimpressed with the title. I was expecting some thing more along the naming lines of Aegis or Safe or something.

 

Not sure how one overrides a crash. A minor quibble though.

She's really making a career out of this GamerGate stuff. I suspect she'll need more Patreon cash to support this noble cause.

 

 

Has anyone looked how much these guys make from Patreon btw?

 

Wu gets 13k a month.

 

If that doesn't make you wanna kill yourself, I dunno what will.

Sadly, I would feel ashamed to make that much without working for it.Damn this integrity of mine!

It's crazy that internet hobo who sits in their nice apartment addicted to twitter all day makes thousands more than a starving guy on the streets in one pair of dirty clothes might make from begging.
