Gamergate failed. Utterly. I know that when you morons read that your first instinct is to screech "shill! shill!" but try to fucking think this time. There's an old maxim that goes "history is written by the victors." I want you to ask yourself "Who wrote the history of Gamergate?" I'll give you a hint: it wasn't you. What GG was is not as important as what it will be remembered as. What it will be remembered as is a shining example of why diversity and SJW ideology are needed in the gaming industry. While you have been busy "battling" the "shills" of your various boogeymen (gawker, goons, ayy team, cancer crew, revolt, etc., etc.) your actual enemies have been writing the history of GG in the way they see fit. The actual legacy of GG will alternate between a cautionary tale and a punchline. You lost the second you lost control of the narrative, because your "accomplishments" mean nothing when the general consensus on you is that you are nothing more than a misogynist hate group.

Now go ahead, idiots. Spout your fucking buzzwords at me. The few of you that aren't completely deluded will know I'm right.

Gamergate ultimately is just a small pebble in the avalanche which is going to bury you SJW fucks. Not everyone involve is concerned with the state of videogames, some of us are in for the long fight, but the truth is you fuckers are running scared. It's why you suppressed the truth of Cologne, it's why everyone ran from the UVA rape story when it was exposed, it's why now all I have to do is #gamergate in any of your safe spaces to cause social anxiety and panic amongst you and your ilk. It's why you're doubling down on Blacklivesmatter and 3rd wave feminism as the the smart ones amongst you realise that the tide has turn against you, and that the time to make any gains and wins is short. Mock the ethics fags all you want, but all you've strove to achieve in terms of acceptance, tolerance, peace, diversity, and whatever else you fuckers believe you're aiming for is crumbling down around you, and all because of your dishonesty, hypocrisy, and hubris. You've handed the west to the right wing on a platter, and I hope that you push things to point of blood shed, because it will be you comrade, along with all your buddies who'll be walking the steps to the guillitine and not me. May you rot in the pit of your own making. Yours sincerely,

Stormfag

Truly, one should not trumpet false victories ignorant of losses. Gamergate was nothing but a victory for the right, you attacked the middle ground and got them sympathetic to us. As much as many on the right will like to brag about bringing you down it will be the middle, which you insulted, isolated, and bullied, which hoists you up on a gibbet. Being on the right I have the luxury of sitting down and scoffing popcorn whilst it happens. You made your bed, lube up and prepare to be fucked on it.

I just think we got distracted by all the ethics stuff and didnt put enough effort in to harassing women.

Our goal is to harass womern until they stop playing video games. But how many have we really managed to stop? Hardly any.

The only people who are still clinging to GamerGate are the people who were useless to begin with. Every single person who had anything to do with significant movements in regards to GG have already moved on. The reason should be obvious: The job is done. The general public is now having the conversation about shitty clickbait and offendatron SJWs. Those of us in the beginning before all the faggots moved in looking for a "swell community," and all the social media narcissists moved in looking to exploit the flashpoint toward their own ends, had simple goals, and we achieved those simple goals, evident by how more people out there besides GG are more aware of how trash the internet journalism and social media is. In these ways, that is to say, the ways that actually mattered, GG did not fail. At all.

The only failures here are the communityfags who are trying to keep the party going, even though it ended months ago. So in this you are correct: GG will not be remembered for anything but a "harassment movement" or whatever other fable clickbait journos can cook up in the time they have left. You can blame communityfags for that, and all the little troll clinger groups that latched onto it. As for those of us who actually had a mission and goal, it was never about "being remembered." It was about destroying the force-field generator surrounding the ball of shit.

So yeah "GG community," sorry your epin lil party is played the fuck out, but that's on you. That was YOUR creation.

Dont forget the Anti gamergate people. They are still clinging to gamergate.

They see gamergate in every shadow, every noise in the dark is a gamergater hiding around the corner. Ready to jump out and misogynise them.

David Bowie dies, Gamergate!

Women get raped in Cologne on NYE, Gamergate!!!

When Gamergate finally does end we will just go back to playing video games.

But what will the anti gamergate people do? This movement defines them.


c80785 No.312691

The Civil War still has Lost Causers crying about how the Rebellion never really lost. Some people are just too stubborn to move on. That's the GamerGate rump. Maybe they'll find something else to do eventually, but more likely anybody who's still personally invested at this point will need to create a narrative about how GG "evolved" or "expanded" so that they don't have to reckon with the idea that this thing that felt important to them was a failure.

Honestly, given the levels of self-loathing I saw at 8ch/GG meetups in NYC, that might be the safest option for them. It would suck to learn that somebody killed himself because he decided that GG failing meant that he was a failure, or that the world was too corrupt to bother living in anymore.


9aa729 No.312692

If you had spent any amount of time here you would have seen that from the beginning most people knew that gamergate wasn't going to be acknowledged as effecting positive changes. When you are primarily criticizing the incestuous relationship the media has with those it covers, the way it tries to play kingmaker by grasping praise on some while scorning others, and the way it writes articles completely detached from reality or truth of course that selfsame media will never acknowledge anything worthwhile you do.

You try to preemptively discredit anyone who disagrees with you because you know you're full of shit.

Every time you see a comments section of an article complaining there aren't any Rey toys filled with people saying "but that's wrong" it's gamergate winning. Every time you read "oh btw I know it's not important but this person I'm reporting on and I are friends" you know that journalist put it there because they have to now and are downplaying it because they did not want to.

We never had the narrative, that was the point. Media making up whatever shit they wanted, truth be damned and destroying people with it.

Even if you discount everything that's been accomplished, we still became a rallying point, the first real, organized fight back against this modern form of tyranny. People from the entire breadth of the political spectrum who were just as sick of the state of things as we are have found each other because of GG. We kickstarted cultural libertarianism as a movement in itself, and now it's grown well beyond us.

They can call GG the Great Satan all they want, very few of us ever wanted a victory parade. We just wanted to play videogames in peace.

People like this faggot happened >>312697

Remember when Vivian was supposed to be a "normal girl who just wanna play vidya"? Good job turning the mascot into the exact kind of attention whoring gurl gamer that we opposed in the first place.

That's why online movements fizzle. Because they're very ad-hoc, with everyone doing whatever the fuck they want, no clear moves, no leadership, just a bunch of assholes claiming that in order to further their own goals. In-fighting and drama, paranoia over anyone and anything, inability to refine the movement and so on.

This isn't just a GG thing, it happens everywhere. Tea Party, OWS, Chanology, Arab Spring, BLM, and the list could go on and on. At least the Tea Parties got strong enough to have presidential candidates and elected people in Congress, and I guess the OWS people have Bernie as potential democratic nominee. But nothing earth-shattering, that's my point.

The Internet is just too structurally inefficient to lead somewhere. It can agitate the waters a bit, make some noise, but it's not going to evolve into something else if there's no clear direction and leadership.

We haven't made any nonSJW gaming website popular, no one cares about TechRaptor, Zoe Quinn has got more attention and money than she ever deserved, our documentaries were failures, the initial e-celebs who supported our cause like Jontron or Baldwin backed off while others like Milo or Ralph just profit for their own agenda or personal gain, our boards have died and had shitty mods and infighting again and again, people are tired of doing activities and operations and now are just bitching, Kotaku is still surviving and Hulk Hogan did more damage to Gawker in a single strike that we could.

The only thing that GG helped was spread the truth about SJWs and help make anti-SJW sentiment common on the Internet. Which is good in the long run, but not if they fight back harder and silence that position more and more.

That's really the ultimate problem with "anonymous" and meanderless movements. If we don't have a bunch of people to actually do shit, like sueing this websites, making new and better websites, looking into the corruption in the indie scenes and the nepotism bullshit, telling us how to help exactly, then we're just plain noise in the long run.

Gamergate won simply by existing. Just look around. People who aren't even "in" gamergate are adopting antiSJW ideas and shitting on articles and videos that are blatant SJW bullshit. SJWs were never going to go down without a fight, but now there are so many people against them that they have an even greater fear now. The SJWs fear the people who don't outwardly express their hatred towards them, and their numbers are vastly greater than GG ever had. They will forever be afraid of us and people like us because we exist in everyone that is against their bullshit. We won by exposing them and never going away.

>Tea Party, OWS, Chanology, Arab Spring, BLM, and the list could go on and on.

There's this thing… the SJW infiltration/co-oping/shitting-up cycle; I saw it happen first-hand with Chanology (much of what anons think Chanologists were "cringe" was actuality the result of shitty goon humor… and anons say "cringe" unironically, not knowing that "cringe" is actually a shitty goon meme), but didn't know what I do know now, and had to watch the infection happen in real-time without any real way to fight it, then; which turned into the blueprint for what ruined the potential for what OWS could have been (I went to two meetings and NOPEed the fuck out).

The Arab Spring was the same thing: just replace "extremist SJW/feminist" with "extremist Islamist"; the same could said for the Tea Party being hijacked by it's "extremist more-right-than-thou religious-fundamentalist" crazies (the horseshoe-theory in effect).

We haven't been co-opted, stopped, or otherwise shut-down, like the above, and are stilling rolling along, patiently racking up victories, both large and small; while at the same time, granted, we haven't completely won every battle and we destroyed the SJW enemy completely… but now that there's the #rapefugee situation coming to a head in Europe…

and therefore "we" lost and should go home…

You COULD have gone somewhere interesting with that, but Jesus, I can smell the goon on you. Fuck off.

Not every mellenial's speshial-snoflake opinion is worth listening to.

aGG are too prideful to the point where they will never not believe that they were wrong, and backed the wrong horse. They are also still too blind to realize that no, "the whole rest of the world" is not on their side, and never was. Now that their spergy horseshit has been getting more and more actual (ACTUAL) public attention, the public is not having it. The public will only agree with them so far and to the typical, reasonable degrees that most people agree with the Liberal Left. Unfortunately, SJWs have no tact, no patience, and are too untempered, sheltered and cowardly, coupled with their propensity to give the mic to the raging nutjobs in their camp, and it's at that point your average Joe and Jane will stop listening and tell them to get the fuck out.

I actually feel bad for most SJWs, in that they will all find themselves in dire straits as the years go on. These sloppy 20-somethings are going to find life a a great deal harder when they reach their 30's and 40's and want a bit more stability in life. The bridges they've burned and the dumb shit they've said publicly are archived for the whole world to see, forever. It's one thing if you're a kid. If you were a kid and you were stupid on the internet in the past, you should get a pass on all that. THESE people are mostly in their 20's. They have no fucking excuse.

Doesn't really matter; when it come to vidya, the damage has been done. It's been exposed as the unethical nest of viper it was. We can't expect those who drank the kool aid to ever change and go "GG was right". That will not happen. It would not have hapenned and in that regard I will agree people were certainly disilusionned. Myself include, at times.

As for the rest, well consider the following; you really think anyone seriously involved in this will ever look at the media the same way? There is no going back those of us who were involved. The battle may be lost (despite some key victories) but the war is still coming. The SJW grow crazier every day; I won't pretend victory is assured, far from it, but they have certainly planted the seeds of their demise.

Our victory is not one where we will sing kumbaya around a fire as a new golden era of videogames is ushered. There will not be any victory the label 'Gamergate', we will always be the villains. And oh, what a GLORIOUS villain we have become. Think about it; without having actually done anything wrong, we've become the almighty boogeyman of the progressive hipsters. The higher ups may not believe it, but the lowly peons certainly think there is an evil army of mysoginerds ready to club them back to the stone age and put their muffins on the wrong stair. We are the monster under the bed of modern day feminism.

They love to shout how irrelevant we are, how over and dead we are. But each time they do so, we live again. Because this is how stories and legends are born.

Let them fight their windmills.

Most normal people have never heard of gg. It won't be in a history book a hundred years from now. It's internet drama. Your moral crusade's importance is all in your head.

>A load of drivel

We won because fighting you was winning on itself. Even if you managed to "win" in the end. The future will not be yours, but of the ones to come next. Those who follow might be deluded by your lies. They might buy that Chelsea definetely not allowed news outlets to bully a bunch of inadequate virgins that were much much more victimized than her without good reason. They might buy that Brianna did flee her house and that she didn't produce any % of the harassment she received. They might believe that, somehow, GTA is a mysoginist game (like, are you for real?).

You, as you say, might have a chance to "win" there.

But we will not be the ones living on that mishapen reality. As I said before, it will not be our time to live, we will be old, and cranky. Some of us might still fight, but the true fight will be of the next generation, not ours.

Our time to live was now. And we won because we decided to live by truth and honor. We decided to not be stepped down without putting a fight. We decided to be ourselves, and not care about your petty judgements. We fighted so everyone else could actually do what they wanted to do and not be afraid of what a mob of SU fans and liberal arts starbuck sipping hipsters could do to them. We fought so they knew you were not special, or powerful, or righteous in any sense.

You on the other hand? Your time to live was right now too. And you decided to spend it spinning lies and crafting narratives, like some sort of traitorous rat. You decided to opress those who stood against your ideals, which are not of justice, not about charity for minorities, but rather those of control and deception. You never cared for deviants, You never cared for safe spaces. You never cared for anything but standing on the tallest pedestal, even if that meant to cannibalize your allies finding some fault in their previous behaviour.

I have very little doubts about who won. And keeps winning.

I'll continue game deving without giving a fuck about your clique outrageous demands.

I'll continue drawfagging without giving a fuck about your clicke silly attemps of censorship.

And I'll continue playing the most outrageous and brutal games, and at the same time enjoying cute games about fluffy stuff. Because unlike you, I do care about actual diversity.
