Gamergate - OP updated 27 October

[Saleri]

You don't know what an oxymoron means, clearly (two things have to be diametrically opposed by their natures; for example, a "taffy comet" is not an oxymoron even if no such thing exists). Then you go on to spout the cliched hateful nonsense about idiots (ironic!) and "safe spaces" as if that has anything to do with it (but I know that's the right wing invective du jour, so you're obligated to pretend like its relevant). Maybe someday you'll realize that if someone was truly strong, they'd be capable of developing an ethos beyond that of a 13 year old boy on a sugar rush.

I must admit watching the immature and impotent feminist rage really was, and still is the best part of gamergate.

And considering how of the many responses you got you chose to respond to only this one... How are you any better?

[AsariCommando]

Snopes has published a very inaccurate article trying to link GamerGate to the sexist /r/TheRedPill subreddit and claiming that GamerGate is a sexist harassment campaign. The guy who wrote the article seems to be a huge Feminist Frequency fan and is blocking anyone who asks him about it, so I doubt it was an accident.

[I Push Buttons]

This shit is so obtuse.

("an obscenity" is Zoe Quinn)



This is all blowing up because the scammer Anita, while sitting on a panel about how evil and terrible harassment was, sat on the stage harassing Sargon of Akkad as he quietly sat in the audience about how he was a "garbage human" among other names. In response to Anita's violation of VidCon policy, Hank Green apologized for offending her with his rules, kicked Sargon of Akkad out, and accused him of intimidating her.

I mean what the actual fuck?

[unholytestament]

The real story is her chewing out Boogie for daring to end a panel with a message of positivity.

Silly Boogie. Doesn't he know that the narrative needs outrage to generate the victim bucks?!

The fucking nerves on this cunt, after the CoN leaks, Zach attack and FBI investigations debunking so fucking much, she still going to play the victim card?
Even worse is people who still defend her and still believe her lies, even with the actual truth right there and then.
Guess she is desperate to up her shit book numbers after months in pre-order.

Not only that, this is the same person who harassed a bunch of depressed kids and teens.
The fucking power of beta orbiters, as if Laci green's situation shouldn't be enough to open people's eyes.
That said, i have no sympathy for Randy after the years he have been licking the soles of Anita, Zoe and the likes.
Even back then when the fanfiction first came to light he still sucked up to Anita.
Oh well, god bless Notch.



Another outspoken anti-gamergater, an neogaf moderator have been exposed as a pedophile.
The irony.



The list of anti-GG beta orbiters/male allies/feminists with huge skeletons in their closet just seems to keep on growing.

So now we have a game developer having to apologize for his comment on GG from years ago. Why I wonder?

[Rennadrel]

I can't believe these fucktards are still going at it. I am honestly surprised that no one has tracked these windbags down and done away with both of them. The world would be better without any of this particular breed to toxic feminist cunt. Anita, Laci and Zoe should all be in prison for the criminal harassment they have brought upon other people. Not to mention Anita's fraud project and the fact she should be in jail for tax evasion.

Were I in his shoes, I wouldn't want to be within a thousand miles of any of those bitches. Their stupidity would rub off on me.

Please post productively. Infracted. -Edge

Associating with Gamer Gate is bad for busniess and he wants to make money off his game by distancing himself from it.

Associating with Gamer Gate is bad for busniess and he wants to make money off his game by distancing himself from it.

actually, the truth of the matter doesn't seem to be like that exactly.

Or I should say it's more like a certain group seems to make trouble for people who they perceive think in a manner similar to what has been attributed to gamergate ideals. The guy was getting the screws for denouncing feminism and espousing egalitarianism... and some people (on the LW list even) latched onto the gamergate tag that was used sometime in the last 3 years.

I won't argue that there isn't something bad for business here, and acknowledgement of gamergate is part of it... but i feel it must be set that it isn't so cut and dry as 'association'

[unholytestament]

I'm curious what games the anti side can hold up as examples of association with GG being bad for business.

That would assume most of them actually buy any games let alone the ones they get upset about.

The fact that this is yet again one of those news stories going around as "another militant AGG'er caught being a rapist/pedophile with actual mountains of hard evidence" is a horrible sign. "Another" because the "dont worry milday, I the brave sir knight will be offended for you!" dudes being caught out being an actual rapist or pedophile that gets convicted right after tweeting shit like "anime is for pedos" is a growing list. Last i saw from a /v/ collected list the number of them was past 45. Thats fucking bananas.

But no its the gamers that are the monsters. Not the guys who follow zoe and anita and say "i have 900 gigabytes of child porn because it suppressed my dark urges"

I tend to not get too into this shit but the anti gamer gate crowd are like the videogame media version of all those extreme hard right, fundamentalist guys in the 90's that got caught going to gay bars to spend a nice night away from the family getting sodomised. Only far worse. In this case its not a story of just hypocrisy that everyone can have a good chuckle at and move on this is the people campaigning for the worst aspects of videogames and gatekeeping asian games by fucking over so many translation houses through their "dont follow we witch hunt you" bunkum and behind it all they spend their evenings jerking off to pictures of fucking 4 year olds.


Honestly i try not to paint all people in one cloth, thats a job for folks like zoe, anita and their nu-male cronies. But "Another". Good lord this is a disturbing broken record at this point. Fucking creeps.

It's amazing we're still assuming that people who are critical of Video Games are by and large not players of them.

If people didn't care about the games they wouldn't care enough to give them the time of day. Being Critical of something requires Giving a fuck in the first place.

Well when you make a Cyberpunk game that's major theme revolves around Villifying basic income You gotta wonder why he thought it was even a good idea to start on that track in the first place.

It's just gonna repulse the bulk of Cyberpunk fans in addition to compounding on the GG Proximity.

We had plenty of cases where these people downloaded actual CP, in some weird attempts to make out GG'ers to be pedophiles, involving hacking and whatnot.
Alternatively Nyberg alone speaks volumes, people like her is still regarded an friend and is being defended by these crowds of parasites.




Anyways, some quality clickbait journalism by Destructoid, how is this any different from ultra conservative religious nutjobs in the past again?



Moegamer wrote a great rebutall to this bullshit atleast.

Disticntion without a difference.

Yet people were, and still is super excited for the game, until SJW trash decided to pull out several year old posts and cause a shitstorm at him, causing his life to turn into hell and making him apologize on stage at E3.
Even though those very same posts said he supports equality and was in general very progressive.

zzz

[unholytestament]

A big difference. One that I would think is relevant to people bitching about themes.

But I'm not surprised you would ignore it to suit the narrative.

I'm honestly not tracking on this train of thought you're running.

I will point out that it should be a giant glaringly obvious red flag if someone feels the need to apologize for saying they are an egalitarian.

edit:

also I'm still unclear as to the timeframe of the tweets vs game production since the game didn't seem to be in actual production back in 2014? or maybe it was getting started then?

Your mistake was looking at any article written by Jed.

There's a reason even the normal destructoid goers started complaining about him.
