The #GamerGate thread

So is it possible to convert drama into an effective fuel source? Because if so I think we have found the solution for infinite energy.

Me neither, so i'll post this:

Social justice isn't bad. Wanting to stop something bad from occurring is a good thing. It's jackasses and using it for their own selfish gains (either because they're insane and think that are super easily offended, or are assholes who are pretending to fight for a good cause for the sake of monetary gain or some other self-centered motivation) that's been the problem with it these days.

What zoe quinn and friends have been doing this whole isn't even remotely social "justice". They just want to line their own pockets while convincing a group of lunatics who think you're discriminating against them just for looking at them funny that they actually care about their "plight", doing outright immoral things to achieve that goal.

It's all a massive scam disguised as social justice, and the gamergate community wants it to stop. We just want trustworthy games coverage, and people no longer getting scammed out of their cash, their careers (and possibly lives) ruined because of a sociopathic indie dev/games journalist clique with too much power that wants to continue screwing people out of their money for themselves to gain profit.

So the difference between us and them is that we're actually fighting for a legitimately good cause, and they're just trying to benefit themselves. If it's a bad thing to want to put a stop to immoral deeds going on, than I don't know what good is.

The New Yorker just published an article on zoe:

"Zoe Quinn battled depression as a teen. Now she’s receiving threats for a video game she built on the subject"

After she falsely accused a community of people with depression of harassing her just to promote her own game.

"I understand that people remain very angry at what they see as journalists lashing out at the community in general, and whilst I won’t try and justify that (or even entirely accept that this isn’t even true) I’d like to ask you to consider this: When the community you’ve worked so hard to serve choose to stand beside a group of manipulative misogynists rather than entertain the idea that you might not actually be corrupt, how do you think this makes people feel?"

(I don't have time to read through the entire thing before I go to sleep, but it appears to be somebody calling them out on their bullshit in their dmg control article.)

Zoe's Patreon is up to about 3 fucking grand per month now (last I checked it was 2300ish):

She did say that she would give the money (or at least a large sum of it) to help harassment victims, but what reason do we have to believe her?

Some good news, tho, Polgyon just lost an advertiser :

$36k a year for nothing in return? Time for me to grow a pair of boobs and blow twitter harassment out of proportion.

I don't know about other places but Gamefly still offers rentals.

There is Hastings game & book store and Netflix. The thing is that renting still costs money. Gamers these days would rather be a jew and look up opinions on the game rather than blindly play it themselves.

Lol...somebody link her to EmoCutGirl, pls

Who are these misogynists they keep referring to? Most of the initial outrage was fuelled by the fact that Quinn and collaborators shut down the Fine Young Capitalists because they were diverting funds away from their den of thieves and towards creating games designed/written by women.

No one knows.

Some individuals may better step out of the gaming industry altogheter.
I can't see how he won't get punched in the face repeatedly for their barrage of insults the last 2 weeks.

Looks like a serial killer.

I love how they "apologize" without actually apologizing, something the gaming media calls out publishers like EA for doing on a regular basis.

he looks tired as fuck. probably because someone is hounding him and all the other journalists and shit about this shit. if he really thought he was winning, that'd be a genuine smile. 'you disgusting rats, whatever, no one's listening'

this is great.

Since I blocked reddit, Ill leave a picture instead.
