Presidential Video Game Panel to Meet Today

[Crissi]

Oh Crissi, you have too much faith in the internet! lol

im but a sweet girl hoping for a sweet world, with rainbows and unicorns. and a rainbow keyboard.

[Grapemask]

They are on the left side of the political spectrum...

I don't... I don't think you know what Gamergate is if even the tiniest bit of you think that's even the tiniest bit true.

[Elegiac]

The majority of Gamergaters are left leaning. I doubt anything but a small minority would have voted for Trump.

Yeah, which is totally why Steve Bannon had the movement in the palm of his hand.

[Jotaux]

You obviously do not know what gamergate is. It's one of the most diverse and effective movements the internet has ever seen. They already accomplished every one of their goals when it comes to ethics in gaming journalism despite bad press. Now its only brought up as some sort of boogyman because the movement is done, its won already.

Haha.

No. Video game journalism is still just as shitty as it's always been.

[Jotaux]

Except he didn't. Steve Bannon's only relation to Gamergate was through Milo who wrote gamergate articles for Breitbart.

Except now the majority of review sites are requiring their writers to disclose their relationships in the articles.

[Templar 331]

I believe you're thinking of Milo. And I think the only reason he latched on to the movement was to troll Feminists.

OT: I can't wait for a summary of what went on in that meeting. Followed by Trump denying every stupid thing he said.

[Crissi]

Yeah, which is totally why Steve Bannon had the movement in the palm of his hand.

I think at one point, it was true that it was a lot of both right and left wing people who got sick of shitty journalism. However, I absolutely think the left abandoned it as soon as it was turned into some culture war shenaniganz. Hell, its why I did. I wont defend that shit.

A relation that was exploited through hyping up Trump's "anti-PC" potential thus helping to stoke that sentiment amongst the gamergate neckbeards.

Except now the majority of review sites are requiring their writers to disclose their relationships in the articles.

Which does fuck all to address the issue of gaming journalism being a vehicle for studios to hype up AAA games, which was the actual problem rather than who Zoe Quinn was shtupping.

But hey, at least you put women in their place right?

Gamergate can be summed up in three words: gonads and strife.

[ro9ue]

I heard all the talking points will be randomly pulled from loot boxes.

^^^^ I was all on board when it was actually about what the meme says, but once Milo and the like joined in, it quickly became a right wing echo chamber.

Don't forget the DLC unlock to get EA's official statement. It costs $20.

[zorkuus]

Only in america.

[Jester Joe]

Orientation doesnt come into play, but there where a lot of subtext in Persona 4. Atleast from what I remember back in 2008(?). Might be I just remember the discussions around it afterwards.

Kanji thought he liked a dude
dude ends up being a chick who was hiding their gender because other detectives looked down on her already for being young

That's literally it.

Ah, so the "no homo" General Shang in Mulan treatment. Lol.

[Eldar45]

Being against diversity in media puts you in the right wing camp, sorry bud.

Gamergate was a reaction against both the criticisms of "sexualized" female characters and against people like Anita Sarkeesian and her "Everything is sexist, everything is racist" attitude.

The Gamergate movement was literally a movement AGAINST censorship that was being called for by certain peoples, who are now usually refered to as Social Justice Warriors.

As for this meeting, I'm not very optimistic but we'll see what happens. Trump has been a very hit or miss President for me and I'm thinking this is going to be a big miss.

[kail]

Only in america.

I hate watching George Carlin videos, fucking miss the guy.

Zzzzzz.

And as a result of Gamergate, journalism is still shitty and Anita Sarkeesian got more press coverage than she'd have received otherwise.

*slow clap*

Ah, thats true, that still some undertones for BI atleast. What about Yosuke I remember some friends of mine where really excited that he was also abit ambigious.
