SXSW Gaming Pannel Restored (for real this time) Leader 11/13/15 (Fri) 16:37:21 6b20cb No.298076

Alright we're back on gaming (journalism), so let me say this right now…!

…just wanted to do that once. Anyhow, in case everyone's had their heads too far up their asses in unrelated bullshit, a reminder:

-Blue Whale and others were going to host a panel on harassment at SXSW called "Level Up".

-Lynn Walsh, Mercedes Carrera and some guy I don't know were going to host a panel on Gaming Journalism at SXSW called "Save Point".

-SJWs cried bitch tears about the latter.

-Threats started pouring in, ostensibly at both panels, so SXSW canceled both.

-The media mostly blamed us about this, pretending both panels were about harassment because OF COURSE THEY DID.

-SXSW decided to host a separate whole-day summit on harassment to quiet down complaints.

-This was a raw deal for us because they basically switched the topic of the Save Point panel to harassment.

Now, it seems SXSW has reversed the last decision and Save Point is back to being scheduled at the regular SXSW event with the original topic and panelists.

So, unless SXSW does YET ANOTHER another flip-flop, we got something else to look forward to.

from a gamer perspective, this feels like an MMO balance cycle, with buff/nerf/something-something removal & redeployment after forum whining. It's very familiar-feeling. Try not to get too emotionally invested and stay the course, fellow leaders.

Since I've heard vagueries back and forth, does this mean that Savepoint will still be in the day-long panels as well, or is this a means of shuffling them to the side so they can have yet another safe space debate?

I hope this goes through without a hitch.

It still freaks me out that Merc a porn star who takes huge dicks up the butt is interested in motley crew like gg,surely there are more better groups to join than this

It's the latter; the day-long 'harrasment summit' is now nothing but panels related to that, and the panel that was primarily AGGnostic is now accommodating more of their kin in the wake of this SavePoint news, including Bruu Randwhale.

(If anybody saved the relevant links or images from the /v/ general two days ago, posting them here would be appreciated)

Leader 11/14/15 (Sat) 17:33:38 13652a No.298492

Anyone want to bet that now that savepoint is taking place on a different day than the harassment panels that savepoint gets a bomb threat now?

Leader 11/14/15 (Sat) 17:57:00 a7103f No.298498

Well yay

But is everyone ignoring that basically aGGros cried so hard they gave them an entire day to talk about their bullshit online harassment like it even fucking exists?

And brought even more aGGro fucks to do it,culture leeches that exist by talking about this nonsense at conventions/online and getting paid for it?

Still wish none of them got canceled to begin with and caused this.

It's like Koretzky said, nobody else gives a shit about journalism.

Well, lets just hope that it stays this way for now

There are people who do. Because it's the stream of info that can change how you see the world.

Look at all the SJWs on the anti side.They have this binary vision of 'evil misogynist gamers' and 'poor female devs'. Thanks to the news, they feel they are justified whenever they slander people on the GG side.
