Are they even trying anymore?

can you provide the original link as well? Archive.is hates Finland.

>>278274

This is the original link provided on footnote 118 (page 61 of the report):

Visit the linked page at KiA at OP, there's more stuff there as well. Or you can simply go to sources 118 and 119 from the UN's .pdf and also check these links here: http://www.abcnews.go.com/onair/2020/transcripts/2020_000322_videogames_trans.html https://archive.is/13ORA

Hmmm. the abcnews one is not working, try this one (since you can't use archive in Finland): https://web.archive.org/web/20000816161208/http:/www.abcnews.go.com/onair/2020/transcripts/2020_000322_videogames_trans.html

What is this, 1992?

Like the UN is going to protect us from zombies…

>>278311

Anita takes it seriously enough to push stupid shit like the article in there.

And our corrupt gaming media helped her to get that far with claims that gamers are the spawns of satan doing Nintendo-murders.

We can rub this on the face of the gaming media, especially if we get direct footage of her endorsing that study and trying to push it in the UN.

>>278268

UN in a nutshell.

>>278264

Oh god this shit is way too dumb. This might be the point it blows up in their faces entirely. They're shitting on a market too large to take this sitting down, this SJW pissing contest will get very real.

>>278264

Someone send this to Turnitin.

>>278330

Yeah, this could be a turning point against these assholes.

We've done it, folks.

We've officially come back round to the early 90's.

Every feminist, every trendy socialite that bears the label 'nerd', and would be 'do-gooders' are decrying games because it turns people into "killing" (violent) "zombies"

God bless the politically correct, thanks for the laugh.

>>278337

God bless our gaming media for helping out these retards instead of fighting against censorship.

>>278337

>We've officially come back round to the early 90's.

Freaking SWEET! When will the kickass games come back then?

>cyber

>violence

pick 1

if society has any sense left at all, a term like this this should be mocked until nobody dares use it anymore

>>278357

Funniest thing is that all of this is happening at the exact same time when UN promotes Saudi Arabia as the chair for Human rights. Sarkeesian is pushing for games censorship in the UN at the same time their human rights-team is populated with people who force their women to wear burqas.

Holy shit.

Killing zombies, satanic games.

Is there an OP to check all of the resources yet?

>>278395

Then I guess it's finally time for us to form Outer Heaven in Mars

Bitches didn't even get Cazic-Thule's portfolio right, he's the god of fear primarily worshipped by lizardmen.

In another twist, most of Everquests lore was written by Tony "Vhalen Nostrolo" Garcia.

A in their own words - oppressed minority.

>>278264

>quoting David Grossman

He's a relic from the Jack Thompson age. If they want to ban video games, they should be quoting modern anti-video game activists like Anita Sarkeesian.

We need to get passions flaring online about this. Make sure ALL devs know about this that they're under anow and they might lose their job at any second because Satan. Insinuate that it maybe their own fault or more probably to get emthen drop that itsthe ones who held them down and forced them into silence aka their bosses that allowed this threat of extinction to happen.

You're free to do whatever you want, anon.

Just…if you're going to fall off the ride, don't hit anyone else on your way down.

The fuck do we do now. There's literally half an internet calling their bullshit and they just keep rolling through pretending we're eating their shit. Who do we go to now?

>>278566

If you leave it, it will get worse.

If you fight it, you'll have a chance.

>>278629

We go to the Leader of Gamergate, of course.

Why do we fall?

>>278616

>>278635

>>278596

Is just that I can't take anymore.

This is like a lovecraft story, the more I know, the more I'm loosing my sanity.

>>278638

Nobody's asking you to bear more than you can. If you're scared, know that there are others like you who are also scared. Don't use your fear as an excuse to back down in the face of those who hate you, even if they haven't met you.

This storm will pass, as they all do. Lift up your head and look towards tomorrow.

>>278647

>>278653

>>278667

Please anons, tell me we will win. Tell me we'll defeat those whales and our waifus will wait for us.

>>278638

Take a break. That's good enough at least for me. Then come back with your senses in place and with new good ideas.

>>278670

I have nothing to offer you except blood, toil, tears, and sweat. What you choose to build from that will be what is remembered.

>>278670

Tell you that we'll win? Tell you that we will win?

Tell yourself that we will win. Tell yourself that you will win..if you fight.

If you don't, the landwhales will either kill your waifu or inflate her to a comparable, body-positive size–and they will not stop there.

Now, you tell me if you're going to whimper in front of your enemies, knowing what they threaten to take from you.

There is no getting off this ride. Therefore, do not go into battle thinking you'll lose.

>>278695

Forgot to indicate where the first image is from: page 27, chapter 4 of the UN's report "Tackling Cyver VAWG A Multi-Level Approach"

The accumulated filth of all their prudes and appeasers will foam up about their waists and all the sellouts and con artists will look up and shout "Save us!"… and we'll whisper "Check your privileges CISlords."

You know, that actually encouraged me a bit. In fact, seeing them spilling spaggetti everywere is making us look good.

Or maybe I just got mad and I'm deluting myself?

>>278706

What happened in congress?

>>278710

Nothing. Valkenslut called a mostly-republican congress conservative terrorists and was questioned.

>>278272

>LaRouche

LaRouche?

The actual fucking Lyndon H. LaRouche?!

Ya'll niggas don't know 'bout LaRouche!

The short version boils down to: "If you agree with LaRouche on -anything-; change your opinion because it is WRONG" I'm not talking, "someone is wrong on the internet"-wrong; it's TIMECUBE wrong. He's an arch-crackpot with radioactive opinions and he isn't even trolling (unfortunately the Wikipedia article on him is crap).

[spoiler]It also led to a brilliant satirical piece of pre-internet popypasta: The Great LaRouche Toad-Frog Massacree

…and aGG is using LaRouche as a source. This is delicious.

Well, I do believe the UN has outdone themselves this time.

I'm kind of amazed and kind of glad this is the hill the UN chose to die on.

There are worse sources.

Can't wait to see them. Milo just made an article on this, and already pointed out that some sources are dead links to mere blog posts (without specifying though).

>>278963

>Why now?

Because he's convenient and they're exhuming whatever old dirt they can find to throw at us and the gaming industry.

People keep comparing our opposition to Jack Thompson. Well, they're dead wrong- Thompson was wrong headed, pig headed, and fabricated evidence, but his entire spiel was to keep 'bad' video games out of the hands of minors. He went about it in the most back asswards way imaginable, but at least he had SOME good in mind.

AGG just wants to smash video games so they can feed on the carcass. They want to remove the industry so there's no competition for their goodright propaganda. I don't think I could ever accuse Thompson of something quite so vile.

Note, also, that they've exhumed "Pokemon is satanic" from the sunken city it was buried in. They're throwing literally everything they can think of at us at this point.

>>279070

>Note, also, that they've exhumed "Pokemon is satanic" from the sunken city it was buried in

This is the thing that we need to emphasize the most and spread around. Jesus Christ that's just so fucking stupid. I wonder if they're just trying to cherry pick the most ridiculous sounding excuses behind the scenes for their own shits and giggles.

we need to stop the SJWs before they end the free world.

>those games are being marketed TO CHILDREN! THINK OF THE CHLDREN

Except they aren't. ESRB rating forbid underages from playing games with violence.

>>279072

I agree with this. There is a whole lot of extremely stupid shit here that even most 80 year old grandmothers know is stupid. Shit that is derided as kooky idiots from the past freaking out about nothing. People now think of "pokemon is satanic" in the same way we think of "jazz leads to promiscuity." We should be pounding on the fact that they're going back to these old retarded ideas.

>>279077

It's not them causing this. They're a convenient excuse for things that have been in motion for years and will find themselves against the wall the moment they're longer useful.

>>279098

The most telling thing is if all those people went away tomorrow, nothing would change for us. We'd still be looking for bias, liars and nepotism on a daily basis. Calling out bullshit when we find it.

>>279135

Yes, they did. It's the beginning of the end.

>>279135

>>279136

You might have felt a distant rumbling earlier.

That was Jack Thompson finally having the orgasm that was denied to him for three decades.

>>279137

But don't worry, they're not coming to take our vidya away :^)

>>279135

No. They cited Lt. Col. Grossman, who Jack Thompson would often site as the source of his own allegations that vidya caused violence.

>>278745

does this mean

second vidya golden age?

pls tell me this is the case

>>279144

>second vidya golden age?

The industry must die again before that will happen.

>>278717

>using LaRouche as a source

Technically, the source is an article which praises LaRouche. The credited author of the article is Michele Steinberg. And as far as I know, the article is only referenced in endnote 118 of the report. (It's the endnote for the part of the report shown in OP's screenshot, which claims video games are turning children into zombies or something.)

It's a truly ridiculous claim and an even more ridiculous source, though.

>>279168

>Michele Steinberg

Isn't this person connected to Common Core? I seem to recall the name back when there were digging up CC for the indoctrination through educational gaming angle.

Is there a video of this insane speech (speeches?) somewhere?

So if I wanted to write a letter to a news organization or Congressmen (one to do a story about it, the other to point out it's bullshit), would it be OK to send them the Medium article (https://archive.is/nPedL)? Or should I summarize what they wrote?

>>279223

Summarize and link.

>>279175

I really don't have any idea, but both the first and last names are fairly common.

I posted this elsewhere, faggots, but you need to be aware of the big picture when it comes to GG. What we're actually up against. It isn't social progressives. They're just an ends to a means. And it is no fucking coincidence that so many of them are from the upper class and/or involved with PR companies (Hai, Silverstring!!!)

Let me explain what this is all about.

The GG shit.

The pre GG shit.

ESPECIALLY the ME3 debacle.

I'm an OLDfag. Fucking OLD. Almost 40. I've been using the internet in some form since the 80's. BBS services. AOL. Prodigy. Compuserve. You name it. I was using it for some period of time. I used Telnet, FTP, and newsgroups. Don't ask me how to do that shit anymore. I picked a different path in life and it all became much more user friendly once Mozilla stuck it's dick in the mix.

Back then, corporations did not have the chokehold on the internet that they currently do. It started with the military and academia and then a bunch of savvy dickheads fucking around got in the mix and had some fun. The internet, for anyone who wasn't an academic or military, was the Wild Wild West, not the World Wide Web.

Do you know how many hours I spent DLing a gif only to find out it was Goat.se or some chick sucking off a horse? Like an hour just for a single pic on dialup.

I wouldn't say I was a prime early user, but I was an early adopter. The whispers at the time were "It's all going to change. The corporations are coming. Free speech here will end."

See, here's the thing. Media is a tool. And corporations like to co-opt every single format for one purpose; to sell you sub par shit that you don't need.

And the biggest threat to that is your ability to have just as big a soapbox to criticize their product as they do to push it.

That's why they want to take away your ability to say mean things on the internet. It isn't about poor little Anita. It's about poor little Pfizer. Anita is a patsy. She's a tool. Get everyone to rush to the defense of the damsel, take away the right to criticize and now you've got people going to jail for saying anything but "Coke is it! Coke is the best! Disney is the greatest! Nike totally doesn't rely on third world child labor! Apple is an ethical company!"

This is about media and narrative control by the oligarchy. It always has been. SJWs are useful idiots, savvy at narrative with their communications degrees, with social access to trend setting cliques. Those SJWs are the innoculation against those in the media who might break the narrative. They got Patton Oswalt. They got Sarah Silverman. They got Louis CK. They got the video games industry under lockdown. They have everyone in Hollywood except Eli Roth. They got Graham Linnehan.

Those useful idiots think they're on a social moral crusade. They're not. They're after ego fulfillment and immunity to bad feelz and being caught up trying to grab for cash they never wanted to work for. But a bunch of cash is being spent to reinforce their delusion because in that reinforced delusion, they are valuable tools for media control and legislative action.

The final result? Draconian control of THE most valuable social tool since Guttenberg. And it's all meant to sell you shit held in a velvet glove or punish you for saying that shit is shit with an iron glove.

Gamers are the only thing holding the line right now, and I'm telling you, we can't stop. Because if they win, if they get what they want, they kill free speech. For good. And the foregone conclusion is THX 1138 or Demolition Man. Then we all have to live in the subways, or live like them. And we ain't got the cash to live in the good parts.

>>279240

>I'm an OLDfag. Fucking OLD. Almost 40. I've been using the internet in some form since the 80's.

You've been on for too long. Go outside and breathe the fresh air. You need it.

>>279242

> Go outside and breathe the fresh air. You need it.

I do. Every day. I've even worked in marketing and advertising and all around corporate america. I'm not speaking out of school here.

You seem interested in deflecting my allegation, though. I wonder why that is…

>>279248

We already have satellites watching you. It's too late. It's over.

>>279223

Summarize, link, and you're free to use whatever you want from my stuff (pictures included of course) I don't care. Don't just use my words for your Congressman. I'm happy you think it can hold that kind of value, even if just a bit, though I hope you find more stuff too.

The small one you got archived is 100% designed for convincing people and spreading information, hopefully getting people that itch to act on something (even if it's reading the longer piece/checking on their own). There's some stuff you can add not in the small piece too (but is likely in the bigger one) too, like two that are making their rounds at the moment: sources to sites that don't exist.

#42: http://www.statistica.com/

https://archive.is/nUuTe

#103: http://www.nowldef.org/history-vawga#sthash.sWCnxx8m.dpuf

https://archive.is/VGpyB

These are all just arguments of the source and trying to figure out how it's all pieced. It's an excellent opener to debunk the piece because its foundation is quicksand, just don't solely rely on it sinking when you also have the opportunity to knock it over too (aka, get sources and information that go through the body of the report too and make a neat mix of it all).

And bear in mind…

Not everyone will agree on all of the points raised (duplicate sources has pushback from the more academics, though a lot of regular people don't like it either) but there's enough to warrant acknowledgement that it's definitely fucked and does a terrible job.

>>279250

I think this deserves it's own thread. If not here than on pol or something.

(Outside of, and with no affiliation with GG other than examples) We need to educate people on their freedom being stripped away, by who, and how idiots aren't funny when they are being used by those people to push ideas.

We then sound like the fucking conspiracy theorists, but god we've got to push something. I mean no one is talking about CommonCore's brainwashing or the TPP/TTIP/Alphabet "trade" deals that give corps more power.

>>279250

>We need more people supporting us not only as GG but more, to protect everyone interest which means having freedom

The point is going out as GG is counterproductive. Being the boogeyman, despise the salt and lulz we get, means that you are the feared monster they were talking about. And so your reputation precedes you.

I'm not here to be the PR fag (if that buzzword is still used) but i think that for good or bad, GG is confined to vydia and some near sectors, and any attempts to go outside this industry might be seen as just a bunch of conspiracists rambling about their tinfoil. By this i don't mean we should "shange the hashtag", but that GG is not the universal soldier. It has it's limits and it's own history, being that the SJW version or the anon version. And that history is part of GG for good or bad.

Sadly, here we fall on the question:

What are we going to do? And that's the kind of question that creates boards like ggrevolt and makes pol leave this place.

Of all, i think that GG is useful as an identity, but it wasn't able to remain formless, chaotic and diverse, just as it was on the first months. A good OP in the future would be one that acts just as a beacon of information, but a social identity is something difficult to defend, since identities tend to change. The good part, as with feminism nobody would say they are against equality at first glance, nobody would be against the right of freedom of a human being.

>>279240

>>279279

We form a free speech interest group / advocacy entity.

That's the one true long term solution to this. GG can't and won't last forever, and it is too diverse in focus to do the proper job in that front.

Hard to think of another solution realistically.

Preferably something funded by members, with lawyers on it's ranks and as many intellectuals as possible. Although it has to start, of course, by seeking as much popular support as possible to be viable to begin with.

Has this been posted yet?

>>279210

Its live now

>>279250

The main problem is that you people have been co-opted by SJWs, and now you consider any form of fighting back to be a "SJW tactic".

Remember when you went after Sam Biddle for trying to bring back bullying and cost Gawker loads of advertisers? If someone suggested doing that again these days, everyone would go "Bu-bu-but that's a SJW tactic!"

The history changes through use, its becoming ever more difficult for normies to accept the narrative when one can seed doubt so easily now. The evidence against sjw's only compounds with time,

It doesn't matter how one tries to avoid a label, their only attack on you is this, that you are an mra, or a misogynist, or a gamergater. Its reflexive, its all they have, and so it cannot be avoided. So its better to use it against them than to pretend it is a problem.

Anyways, this is important.

The interests of censors and those against anonymity align, which is why you saw google and the UN pulling the same nonsense.

>>279325

Honest question, how the fuck did Anita get a MA? This is the sort of thing that gets slapped down in Freshman writing classes, she should be a better researcher than this.

>>279308

The fuck are you talking about, faggot?

>>279329

Frankly anyone the UN should have ought to be better than this. I don't know who exactly wrote this but it's clear enough that there's a team that did it from citations alone - the constantly different way of doing it happens only because you're dealing with different people writing. I don't know if Anita wrote anything in this or not but it's a massive failure to pretty much all of them. That example in particular (119) is pretty boring so I didn't put it in the small one but it's got some amusing stuff if you care about the sneaky and shady shit they did in this too.

If you've no idea how this shit works, the Australian comedy "The Hollowmen" explains it best. (Yes, Minister and Veep also touch on it).

The UN has to write a report. They've got a bunch of people who are not really experts in "cyber violence" (because really - who is?).

So they go to "stakeholder" groups, who are the people most butt-hurt about it. These "stakeholders" give them a bunch of talking points, backed up shoddy references.

The UN officials (who probably did not join to do this) then compile the propaganda into an official report, along with anything they can find on Google.

You can also look at how UN Women is highly biased, and that's true. But mostly, it's because the people who are butthurt about the internet are generally not unbiased, and that's who the officials invite for a "seminar" (to help them write the report).

>>279355

Yeah, I tried dark text and it didn't work, tried white text it didn't work, then tried light text and it was slightly less crap.

Funnier people than me can meem this image it better than me, tho:

>>278689

why wouldn't they, the current method for pulling their shit like allowing dictators to continue attempting genocide and suppression of dissidents is say everything is for teh wymins. if they start actually doing the things they claim to endorse then the dictators of the world will stop playing their game.

>>280013

>The biggest creator of violence is poverty.Poverty begets desperation.Desperation begets animosity.Animosity begets violence

Brhuefag here.

What you say is false and my country is the proof of it.

Violence is cultural, it grows in places in which law is not seem as legitimate and people idealize criminals. Like in half of BR.

Why is BR proof? Because for the period 2003-2010 we experienced a better distribution of wealth, with more economic social justice and welfare, and yet crime kept rising non-stop. Violent crime of all sorts for that matter.

How do you explain that?

>>279365

kek

>>280836

Government welfare does not alleviate poverty. It is economic anesthetic to soothe the pain of an unjust system without making any attempt to cure the disease.

The rise in crime and idealization of criminals is a result of improper police management. BR cops are fucking horribly abusive, and thus the people who end up on the bottom of their boots see law and order as their natural enemy. So they cheer for the criminals and go by their examples, because if the cops hate these criminals so much, then the criminals must be good. If people associate the police as being in the wrong, they will associate criminals as being in the right. That's why the police have to be reprimanded when they step out of line. If they're allowed to get away with things that would get citizens locked up, then the people who join the police force will do so specifically to get away with these things instead of actually serving the public trust. This police become legal criminals, and the citizens respond by becoming illegal criminals. Then people notice the increase in crime and start throwing more funding at law enforcement and assume they can solve all this, when in reality they're just giving them more power to fuck things up.

The police create more criminals, and the criminals respond by creating more police. It's a vicious cycle.

>>280965

It's true to a point, but not enough to explain the whole thing.

They idealize criminals, but more policing is still seem as a solution to most people from all classes.

This might be an old study, but it's seem as still representative of what BR UPPs (Unidade de Polícia Pacificadora) means to favelas:

When the police finally went up the hills of favelas to install their temporary offices, most people thought "finally something is being done", instead of "get away from here filthy policemen".

It's a no-brainer that bad cops and violent policing results in more and worst crime.

But there is a cultural side that is very strong in Brazil and maybe is not obvious to those that live in developed countries.

For example, once in Fortaleza, capital of the State of Ceará, northeast of BR, I heard people talking seriously about how every 1 person has the right to kill 1 person. They really believed that. On another State of that region of Brazil, I saw 2 women defending one guy's right to stab in the back someone that verbally insulted him in public, because he was smaller and weak. "That's all he can do, how can he fight someone that big" they said.

Of course this is the result of centuries of lack of positive presence of the State there, of good policing, like you mentioned.

But it went on for so long that people acquired these lines of thought as their way of life, as typical culture, and continue to act and live that way even while the country tries to better things up.

I hope you understand the point I tried to make. I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm saying that's part of the solution, but bettering the police is not the panacea you implied.

Just to finish:

Why is poverty not the sole source of violent crime?

Because, if you notice the trends, people that commit crime due to poverty try as much as possible to not be violent, and to only do as little as necessary to satisfy an essencial need.

I'd say misery is a source of crime. And yet, even misery is not the cause of violent crime.

Poverty is the source of negative feelings that alone may not be enough to tip someone off the edge to commit violent crime.

Poverty + drug abuse are a commom combination that leads to it. Poverty + suffering a violent childhood; poverty + emotional abandon by parents; etc.

Of course there won't be always poverty as a cause as well.

It may be a very commom element, but you'll often find places with rampant poverty which are much less violent than less poor ones.

For an example you can compare Brazil to a number of countries in Africa, and there'll be many countries there that are poorer whilst less violent.

Actually, Latin America has a thing for violence that is head scratching. I once talked to an African immigrant here in BR and he said he'd return to Guine Bissau because, while you can see violent struggle for power between competing parties, since their politics is still down to a more primitive level of competition for power, you hardly see a person rob his fellow citizen of his property, much less harm someone for that matter, but in Brazil he was assaulted 2 times in 2 years.

How do you explain this then? That in Guine-Bissau the poor has few people to rob because there are too many poor? It makes no sense, in Brazil robbers don't steal exclusively from the rich, the n. 1 victim being the middle class (and many criminals being part of the middle class themselves).

Where is this cited in the study?

>>281247

Go to the very end of https://archive.is/AONtG

It's at the "The Top Ten Killers" item, which's the last of the "study".

Is the fact that this crackpot bullshit is seriously considered as fact by the UN heavily disturbing anyone else?

>>281912

Not really, the chair of the broadband commission is a frumpy 50-60+ year old woman whose experience with video games no doubt only includes solitaire for windows.

>>282095

So the UN is finally covering their tracks. And most of the games media wouldn't even expose the bullshit. It was all citizens and Milo that did any coverage on how fucked up that report and panel were.

>>282084

Are you seriously telling me no one bothered to archive it?

>>282095

No the report is still available.

Anyone checked if sources were changed? Maybe they "corrected" the report?

I had no fucking idea that an international political power that can't muster the strength to stop genocides was concerned about first-world non fucking issues. >8 |

>>282160

Bump for we don't have an archive of this nor can't have

Do we back up this "original copy" of the report on gitgud or something? >>>/ggis/ maybe?

>>284812

I would say dump in all of the usual places and keep a local copy just in case.

Probably not going to happen in this case but you never know when someone will go on a dmca spree like the FFshrine dumps.
