This includes attacks on both sides of the argument, but also a lot of facts.

"Gaming journalism" was never anything but a paid advertisement. Reviews have always been bought off with free copies or promises of money. Every single gaming mad in the 80s, even the precious Nintendo Power, was like this.No one ever cared.

In 2007, Jeff Gerstmann wrote a negative review of the game Kane & Lynch. Eidos had paid big bucks to Gamespot to advertise the game. Gerstmann was fired. The end result? Some anger for a couple of months that eventually died off and nothing really changed. Gamers didn't care.

Then comes Zoe Quinn, a nobody indie game dev who dumped her boyfriend and got a new one. The beta male cried on twitter until Adam Baldwin, a shithead right-wing asshole who acted in a failed TV show no one watched, butted the hell into a personal domestic thing, because he hates women. Then bigots from /pol/ got involved, many of which have never played a game other than "Ethnic Cleansing: The Game".

Suddenly we have idiots who don't play games pretending that gaming journalism is corrupt. Well of course it fucking IS, but suddenly a woman steps out of the kitchen and it becomes an issue. None of the idiots will acknowledge that it'd been corrupt since the 80s. None of them know who Jeff Gerstmann is.

Real gamers avoided this crap "movement" and Jeff Gerstmann also called it out. He is a victim of actual corrupt gaming journalism and he knows that GG is little more than the KKK doing their thing because some old book says a sky man said stuff.

Enter Anita Sarkeesian. Professional fraudster and liar who made a video that was 25% facts and 75% horsehit, and weaseled people out of big bucks to make more videos she never made- kind of the way Don't Hug Me I'm Scared suckered idiots out of lots of cash and never delivered. Anita is David Duke for feminists.

Did I say feminists? Not really. Real feminists are the ones who earned women's suffrage. Anita is a feminazi, screaming shit so hate-filled and anti-male that it sounds like she took passages from Mein Kampf and replaced "Jews" with "men".

She took advantage of all the /pol/ shits and went from obscure nobody to speaking at the UN- and giving her an audience would be no better than letting David Duke speak. Zoe also went from being a nobody to being a big deal because /pol/ is never right and harassed her too much.

Gawker media, which is Stormfront for SJWs, has played this like a fiddle and have gained sympathy. If the bigots had stayed out of a breakup, then Anita, Gawker and the whole SJW movement would have not gained power.

Game companies have largely said "fuck off" to the movement. Running With Scissors has buddied up with Milo Yoannwhateverthefuckhisnameis, a comedian as unfunny as Bill Hicks, and largely sided with the bigots. I used to respect Vince Desi, I've even talked to him on the phone a few times, and he helped me with some personal issues a few years back…. but Vince, up yours. Up yours, and up your friends' for taking one side and not attacking both. Up yours for siding with a bigot. I'm not sorry I pirated Paradise Lost(like it doesn't crash more than a car test dummy), but I am sorry I ever respected you. I have to suspect that most of the RWS staff now are leaning towards bigotry and I will never buy their games again(because they make so many, amirite? 3 games + 2 add-ons since the 90s). I will never associate with Vince on a personal level again. He's no better than Anita.

Both sides of this movement are utter shit. Both sides need to choke. I'm a gamer, I have been since 1984, and I say that GG has no merit. It would have merit if it meant what it claims it stood for, but it doesn't. It never did and never will because it deliberately ignores facts. It is anti-woman and filled with white supremacists. The anti-GG side is little more than another group of fascists spitting hate.

End of story.

You're right, there's always been bullshit with vidya journalism. But for the past decade, things really started building up and getting worst and worst, and then the bubble burst in 2014. But other than that you're a fag and should check my dubs.

Good for you. This is why you're as bad as Anita. Ignore things you don't like because women aren't lining up to fuck you, watch crap TV shows, listen to unfunny comedians, buy your games on Steam because owning a copy with no restrictions is too hard, and continue to be a prick that makes real gamers look bad.

gee where have I heard this before… an OP claim facts without proof, then claim we mad cuz his provided "facts" aren't and was getting laugh at.

1st you imply that Game journo were nothing but advertisement before, and that still being the case is irrelevant. being wrong before never made it okay now. and you also forget they moved from being ads to also trying to force games to cater to the new progressive norm by tweaking reviews AND indie festivals.

2nd the LW1 line that implied the Zoe Post was just a comeback for being dumped, and not him dumping her for cucking him 5 times. later the internet learnt the cucking got her positive coverage. wich then got the attention of Jim/IA, wich then got attention from Baldwin. all Baldwin did was coin the term Gamergate.

3rd you presume the people who got mad at this weren't gamers, they were by the very least /v/tards, like you would know if you realized as V the musical I, which predate Gamergate, followed by V the musical II just before, and Gamergate: the album during Gamergate.

That is was a woman was MADE an issue by the opposition, if fact if it was somehow a male getting positive coverage from woman reviewers this whole SJW clusterfuck would never have happened and we could have focused on the original goals instead of waking up with a mouthful of redpills about HOW bad the world became.

no idea who Jeff Gerstmann is.

You are correct about Anita.

Gawker didn't gained enough sympathy, it certainly didn't cover the huge financial cost it been for them.

If ya don't like Bill Hick, try Bill Burr or even better Doug Stanhope.

and why you are mad is because GG don't stand up to what YOU think it should.

End of Story, also have some humor.

(his skit on aborted foetus necrophilia to trigger some pro-life faggot was hilarious)

953468 No.284672

no, gerstmann's firing has always been a source of resentment in the gaming community, as has all the other events that built up to this

gaming press was just a hobby press until recently, and with it's growth it has to be scrutinised, now more than ever before. you're saying gamergate shouldn't exist because it hasn't always existed?

I don't consider myself a bigot, just as you don't. there are many rational people in support of gg, and rather than label all of them as something and compare yourself to them in all the ways you differ, join in and add your input, it's not a political party, it's a subject, it doesn't have to label you for engaging.

I appreciate you posting here, disagreement is vital. you obviously have cause to care about games and it's press as well as the direction games will take in the future, all of which are talked about here, I hope you come back and post more of your perspective.


b0a924 No.284677

To be perfectly clear, the Gertsmann thing created or at least contributed to the big "reviews are paid for" attitude that was prevalent long before GG. The reason GG got so big was because suddenly when it was a woman (only slightly) involved in the criticism people tried to say that her gender was the reason we were pissed like the cock loving OP here. Remember, this all could have been avoided if they had just copped to what they did wrong and it would just as small a footnote as Gertsmann's firing was. But no, people like OP had to go all white knight and lose their fucking minds.

Oh lord, protect me from smiting this stupid child who badmouths Bill Hicks.


4403bd No.284760

I doesn't matter when it happened. It matters that it finally fucking happened at all. Video game enthusiasts, a demographic known for containing some of the most spineless shit-eating consumer whores in existence, finally decided they had had enough. People who cared about their hobby finally stood up, stopped taking shit lying down, and demanded better from it.

I have been waiting for this uprising for 20 years and I'm not going to squander it because it didn't happen 5 years ago or 10 years "when it should have".


a97139 No.284778

Wow. You really do believe that against-the-facts narrative or are you just too bores troll-kun?


a97139 No.284781

Domestic thing = Zoe's and Eron's relationship

Not domestic thing = Zoe's COI with media and an Indiecade judge.

Not domestic thing = media attempting to shut down discussion immediately after people find out about the COI involved.

And so on.

Read The Escapist's Publisher's Note, apgnation interview with TFYC, and so on. People bought the false narrative like you only to be used as shields of corrupt "professional bloggers" who thought there was nothing wrong even with the fact of colluding to articulate same or similar articles to establish the appearance of truthfulness for a set of lies through repetition and diffusion (GJP, the circular reporting absurdity going in with Gawker, subsidiaries, Wikipedia and some other game publications, and non-game publications that didn't investigate the matter thoroughly).

No shit Sherlock, but at least back then we knew whose cock the journos were sucking, nowadays had it not been for this shitstorm I wouldn't have ever know Polygone was actually "M$ Power"

>The Kane & Linch insident

Was meet with the proper anger response form readers, did you expect it to last more?, sorry m8, outrage dies as quicly as GG would have if antigamers had just stopped fueling the flames

>The Quinspiracy

No one gave a fuck about Zoe or Grayson, what pissed us of about it where the massive sensorship attemps, you think anyone would have cared about corruption we all knew was happening had it not for the fact that the mass sensorship across multiple sites unrrabeled a massive conspiracy?

>Suddenly we have idiots who don't play games…

We call them noobs and most of them got into gaming after CoD style games became popular and even before

>a woman steps out of the kitchen and it becomes an issue

Only when it's to livel and slander then cry harrasment when confronted with evidence of her dishonesty

>GG gives undeserved fame to scammers like Sarkisian

Ignoring an infection wont make it go away, but if we expose Sarky & Zoe into the sunlight, the world will be able to clearly see the lunacy of her cult, then shame it and mock it as it deserves

>She took advantage of all the /pol/ shits and went from obscure nobody to speaking at the UN

More like /pol/ took advantage of her and her ilk to start the most massive and succesfull red pilling campaing against cultural Marxism they ever made

>Gawker media,

8 Figures

>Game companies have largely said "fuck off" to the movement.

Game Devs have largelly said "well done!" to the movement.

>I'm a gamer, I have been since 1984,

Sure you are, just like Movie Blob

>GG has no merit

You keep repeating that mantra, we'll just keep BTFO anyone who dares to mess with our hobby

>It would have merit if it meant what it claims it stood for

We are at our core, anti censorship and pro meritocracy, i dare you find someone who identifyes himself as GG suporter and disagrees with what i just said

>GG deliberately ignores facts.

Nice try Gahzy, we reach our conclusions after analizing evidence, unlike antigamers and feminazis who start with conclusion and then cherry pick any evidence that justifies they claims wich they use to broad brush an entire community, even if they have to maliciously missrepresnt and decontextualice said cherry picked evidence.

>It is anti-woman and filled with white supremacists.

Go ahead and tell all the niggas, bitchas and faggots lurking on this board how they have internalized misoginy racism and homophobia.

>The anti-GG side is little more than another group of fascists spitting hate.

to be fair, considering similar egdy know-it-all-I'm-right-your-wrong OPs pop about twice a day, can't be blamed to taking the piss, especially since it's probably the same guy doing these 2 threads a day. Usually the OP reply only one or twice to prevent the (1) and appear more legitimate, if he dedicated he gonna stick around slightly more singling out the weakest posts as proof without adressing the more serious counters. by the time full lenght rebutals appear OP is long gone.

Do you honestly think anybody gave one shit about Franz Ferdinand or Jenkins' Ear? We've had gaming journalism scandals continuously for the past three decades, they all failed to reach critical mass and do anything, whatever its faults, GG made things happen. Gamergate had the momentum and energy to cause cataclysmic drops in ad revenue, get FTC guidelines updated, create Airplay and generally cause massive upheaval in an industry with razor thin profit margins.
