Journalism and sexism in the games industry


LadyCrimson

Recommended Posts

Lets see what good arguments the other side has: https://archive.today/2OTLD

 

Both /baphomet/ and #GamerGate claim they’re unrelated to each other, yet somehow, most of /baphomet/’s targets happen to be outspoken #GamerGate critics.

How can these "journalists" be this stupid. SWJs were in orgasmic bliss when 8chan got taken down -> 8chan hosts /baphomet/ boards -> /baphomet/ got angry at SWJs.

 

It's not rocket science.

In short: Cloudflare will tell a website who is accusing it of hosting child pornography. Frederick shared these emails, now they're attacking Cloudflare.

 

I am still surprised at the level of stupidity here. Almost every western country has this mandated by law: the accused should meet its accusers. Jesus.

Let's be honest, few people do.

 

But to think they can abuse report systems and fling false accusations without any reprocussions - that takes a special kind of stupid.

Hold on. Can anyone explain this to me? They DDoS'd the board that hosts Baphomet, so Baphomet retaliates, and somehow it's GamerGate's fault?

Baphomet and Gamergate boards are both hosted by 8chan, so anything Baphomet does is the fault of the misogynist known as Gamergate.

 

Of course believing this means you have to disregard 1)Baphomet saying they aren't gamergate and 2)The notion of personal responsibility/accountability. They've already discarded 2, and despite baph doxing a sea lion and his wife, I'm sure they will disregard 1. By this logic, any subreddit must take responsibility for any other subreddit, but they've rarely been consistent with logic.

This what they (/baphomet/) say themselves about the whole thing:

 

 

 

Hi lurking GGers. I just wanted to leave a quick reminder not to be lulz killers. I have no problems with /gamergate/ insofar as you lot are mostly content to stay in your own corner and let us do our thing. The moralfags are an entirely different story. :^)

Any moderate statement by a game dev would have to tread on ice in order to not have you be branded a bigot by the so called tolerant social justice movement. Anything that isn't anti-gg enough or, haven forbid, contains even the slightest criticism of feminism and other "isms" would summon the outrage brigade with their pitchforks.

To be fair any support for anti-gg will summon a wave of tweets and emails trying to prove you wrong and put any company you work for under some scrutiny or potentially on a Op against it. So far I haven't seen GG get anyone directly fired but they are also pretty reactionary when it comes to statements.

I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"*

".thats why I said this whole debate has just become toxic"

 

Good. The more toxic the discussion is the less likely mainstream society will take anyone seriously which means things will overall be left the same which it should be.

Meh, I dislike the PCGMR meme* especially because it is so often used unironically. Actually bothering to write an article moralising about it using 'nazi' terminology is pretty moronic though, the meme is essentially harmless, it is often used with the correct irony and you aren't going to get a positive reaction in any case. The people who don't like it don't use it already, the people who do like it will think you're a unit of vietnamese currency who is taking things too seriously by half- and really, don't you have something, anything more important to write about?

 

*I really wish the people who didn't use it most often and most unironically weren't also the ones insistent upon lionising the software console that is steam vs hardware consoles. Yeah guys, voluntarily turning your open system into a closed one makes you so superior to those buying a closed one straight off, thumbsup you awsum free thinkers you.

But yes I agree with you about Steam, their success nowadays relies more on their control of the content and their sales.

Could I bother you for an archive link to some of those articles? The titles seem vague or negative and I can't really decide from that.

To be honest the articles are pretty neutral but yes, he should had disclosed the relationship. Although nowadays the safer thing would be to assume that if they're writing about someone they probably have a relationship with them even if it is just a very friendly professional relationship.

The fact that he is writing about the company his girlfriend works at without disclosing it is pretty shady. Should be a red flag for coi to any editor worth their salt.

If GG little moment on national media has shown something is that there are no longer editors worth their salt or are as rare as a cow.

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.
