/politics/ - News & Politics

Ups and downs.

Overall I consider it a big success with Gawker losing millions, 8chan getting some love, moot deposed and Right wing sites like Brietbart getting more attention.

Stalemate at best. They lost what made them strong, and now simply exist just for the sake of themselves. I prefer to think of it in terms of a shift rather than a battle. When you look at whose eyes were opened to what, and how the curtain was pulled back to so many eyes, it's hard not to.

If I had to pick any winners, I'd say the winners were autocrats seeking to control the internet, the alt right, and 8chan.

Currently something of a stalemate. Gamergate sort of lost it's initial edge and energy, but it did do some valuable things. Other anons have mentioned them already, but I think the best thing GG did was reveal to a lot of normalfags the PC bullshit and corruption in media as well as the insanity of SJWs.

That said, what would it take for gamergate at this point to get back it's edge and start delivering salt by the truckloads again?

>That said, what would it take for gamergate at this point to get back it's edge and start delivering salt by the truckloads again?

People need to dig

I've noticed digs went to a standstill so I've been pushing a united culture war digging board >>>/8diamonds/

>>502

It can't.

All things eventually wane.

They'd need something the size of the original Gamers are Dead articles to reignite.

They had a good run and basically hammered SJW into the mainstream. Now they can continue to trickle away at SJWs and be a boogieman, but they won't ever go back to the glory days.

People get bored,1 year is just too much to sustain something like that at the same intensity

Plus SJWs finally learned that ignoring GG will stop it.Somewhat.

>>485

That depends on the perspectives you take and how you define it, but mostly it's a stalemate.

- GamerGate succeeded in bringing to light corruption and nepotism in the video game journalism community.

- Gawker got fatally hurt.

- GamerGate succeeded in their goals in getting several if these flawed reporters fired, but many have simply hopped on to other news websites or created their own. Still spreading their political agenda.

- More alternative media websites have gained a lot more popularity.

- The websites who had conflicts of interest have revised their ethics policies. This essentially means victory for GamerGate, but we all know there were more than one battle fought.

- These websites, however, are still publishing their agenda-driven filth and are still getting paid by companies for positive reviews. That aspect hasn't changed ams probably never will.

- GamerGate started pushing the narrative that maybe these social justice liberals are wrong and dangerous. I've noticed a great difference and influx of the criticism of these people after GamerGate compared to before.

- Zoe Quinn is stronger than ever. Many more like her, e.g Bryan Flynt, srsgirl and others have gotten richer and gained greater presence, despite everything.

- GamerGate has been severly painted by the media as the absolute worst internet organisation ever, and no major news media will ever suggest the opposite. Nobody except a handful will know the truth, less will care. (Imagine if these journalists focused as much attention on various pedophile/criminal hangouts, eh?)

- GamerGate is still being kept alive by the news media, even though it died a couple of months ago, as the great boogeyman responsible for a great many evils, further pushing their own agendas. It's used as another tool to diminish and refute someones argument and him/her as a person.

- Social justice liberals have a greater media presence now than ever. I think GamerGate definitely plays a part in that. Small one, but a part nonetheless.

>>485

Gamergate accomplished precisely what it was supposed to accomplish and now it merely exists instead of going dormant and rising up when needed again.

Anyone who honestly believes that it was about "turning back the tide" or using the inertia of the commons to eradicate feminism is huffing their own farts.

It was about raising awareness to take some of the wind out of the feminist propaganda machine, and effectively wall-off an industry from infiltration, both of which have been accomplished with some lovely collateral damage to boot (gawker, etc).

This was about preventing a branch of the entertainment industry (which is now larger than Hollywood in terms of spending and revenue) from becoming the thrall of the social justice virus trying to insinuate it's control.

The absolute best-case scenario was to effectively place it in a context that heavily impaired it's ability to assert control and spread.

This has been achieved, basically, any in-roads to the industry that the SJW-feminist make will be heavily limited by consumer awareness, and that means they will NOT be making the gains they're wishing for.

Organizations such as DiGRA are powerless once they've become unmasked for what they are, awareness and knowledge is the true power, as it gives others a motive to resist and denounce and deny participation.

Everyone here needs to understand that these pieces of shit will try to re-group and try again, and the whole bullshit we just went through will have to repeat itself with the same results.

The price of a non-corrupted industry will be eternal vigilance. It just so happens that some people don't understand that we can relax for the time being, so long as we acknowledge that the threat will rear itself again, sometime in the future when they believe everyone has forgotten.

>>535

>- Zoe Quinn is stronger than ever. Many more like her, e.g Bryan Flynt, srsgirl and others have gotten richer and gained greater presence, despite everything.

With Eron still on her fat ass I doubt that. The rest is bang on. More later.

>>509

One thing people have to understand is that these issues can only ever be completely solved by consumers and creators working together to facilitate a environment of freedom (for individuals to consume and/or create what they so desire.)

/ints/ pls

>>485

It didn't win jack. It started out well enough but then they became as gay and obnoxious as their opponents.

>>509

>Plus SJWs finally learned that ignoring GG will stop it.Somewhat.

Too bad some of them are still bringing us up when something bad happens.

>>611

>It brought the worst possible kinds of posters, plebbitors and normalshits into chans

halfchan has been flooded with those type of posters ever since moot deleted /r9k/ and /new/ back in 2011.

Pretty great. Real heartwarming to see video game enthusiasts, a demographic long known to contain some of the most spineless shit-eating consumer whores on the planet, finally stand up for themselves.

>>632

still trying to save face gamergoy?

SPJ airplay is now the ending that GG won says Sargon of Cuckad and decides to retire the tag.

Pure ethics cuckery showdown began in KIA/Reddit/GGHQ/GGRevolt. It's now officially a civil war within.

The real problem with GG is that it doesn't have the same energy and edge it had starting out. As for now, it should be retired until another big scandal happens, to which it can be basically be the same thing under a different name.

>>611

>It brought the worst possible kinds of posters, plebbitors and normalshits into chans

Most plebbitors are against GG due to mod control, and the media has convinced normalfags that GG is evil. Not to mention the vast majority of shitposting on the main boards is attributed to /ints/ and occasionally the faggots that came from /pol/ harbor.

>normalshits

Afraid to say fag, fag?

>rulefaggotry

The only boards with rampant rulefaggotry are /pol/ and /a/. Most of /pol/'s userbase is no longer associated with GG and /a/'s case is separate entirely from the GG nonsense.

>something something they're SJWs

Proof? SJWs are cultural authoritarians, if there's something GG is for as a collective is freedom of expression. Sure I think they focus too much on "ethics", but you could argue that they have to hold themselves to a higher standard than their opponents. GG is hardly infallible, especially now, but I wouldn't call them SJWs. Not by a longshot.

https://archive.is/152Eo Better yet, let's discuss on how to kill a tag like this.

>>687

terrible arguments

>>485

Mixed bag. Still not over even though most initial steam has been lost. Hopefully it will die dignified or go out in a lulzy bang. I'd hate to see something that started so good carry on until it's a complete joke akin to chanology or occupy.

>Lots of quality OC made in the early days

The bad:

>Way too much infighting over stupid shit

>Muh PR

>Brought in Redditfags of both SJW-ish and Stormaboo tendancies, both of which are pro censorship

And that last one was essentially the death blow.

>>611

They didn't realize one of the greatest weapons/attributes of the chans was the humor aspect.

>>783

They did for a while. Then Reddit moved in with their unfunny bazinga-tier humor, the anons ramped up the edge, pissing people off, and it turned into a fight over PR until the anons got chased out.

>>770

I have always called them chans and always will because chans are not the only way to do an image board.

even the other day we were having lulz in the boycott star wars thread and these faggots showed up acting like they're /pol/'s annoying mother-in-law

>>811

So this board basically

>>509

Basically this. We should be proud what GG accomplished, we got people pissed off at SJW's trying to impose their bullshit on people. But yeah the high days of GG are gone. GG is slowly declining now, hell even /gamergatehq/ isn't getting nearly as many posters as it used to.

>>1017

>hell even /gamergatehq/ isn't getting nearly as many posters as it used to

That's because Acid Fag killed the board through massive rulecuckery and stating that GamerGate should only be about ethics.

Beyond the much needed destruction of 4chan and shoring up 8chan as a viable alternative, anyone who has anything good to say about gamergay is a feminist redditor and PR cuck. I genuinely hate gamergay more than the feminists. Feminists are unthinking cultists incapable of reason or higher thought that exist only to hate and destroy civilization. They are the Orkz of WH40k. A purely destructive and evil force, that goes on occasional jihads, but one that can be coped with due to its utter predictability and lack of strategy. It is like a hurricane or a tsunami.

The bleating group thinking redditors of gamergay are worse though, they know what feminism is and they still play by its rules and try to out-feminist the feminists. They know exactly what feminism is, and how much suffering and destruction and hate it contains, and yet they call people racists and sexists and transphobes all day every day. They actively emulate the worst parts of feminism and willingly become PRcuck enforcers of its tenants and dogmas, thus strengthening them.

A feminist might lose some prestige when they get outed as a dog raping pedophile, but feminism's tenants and dogmas just grow stronger because it gained thousands of new bleating cultists to share its message.

>>1080

I think the reality is that you see how powerful feminists and SJWs are so you have to invent excuses in your mind for why you're too weak to fight against them and must fight for them.

You rage against "pr" in the same way a feminist rages against "patriarchy". A buzzword to make up for your personal failings.

>>693

>until another big scandal happens

It won't happen.

/pol/ has been castrated by the fags you see in this thread, they've been contained just like SJWs want them to be contained. Just a bunch of worthless idiots making Jew jokes.

>>1292

Both sides have been contained. As much as we laughed at the shills early on, they knew exactly what they were doing. Any attempts /pol/ makes to break containment are fast and fleeting and ultimately uneffective, and any attempts GG makes to break containment are snuffed out by Reddit and /v/gghq/.

>>1293

GG is continually breaking containment.

There's a panel at a gaming convention happening soon, /pol/ could never break that containment since they've internalized self destructive memes that SJWs have pushed on them.

>>1304

*bait

>>1304

The big one is the anti free speech meme, lot of people on /pol/ have bitten it and are becoming more similar than dissimilar to SJWs.

SJWs are great at subversion and a lot of people on /pol/ aren't too bright.

>muh pr

>pls report bullying on twitter

>remember to donate :))))))

>>1311

>pls report bullying on twitter

if acting like a retarded nigger on twitter gets you gassed then good.

the only people getting upset by that are attention whores.

twitter is a left wing controlled shithole run out of San Francisco.

>>1313

The difference is the SJWs will fight dirty to get you banned. They have something in place where they have 200 porn bots all follow you, and then report you for spamming, and Twitter then removes you for it. I don't know the ins and outs of how it works, but I know that it's vicious.

That's why GG lost. They wanted to appear squeaky and nice and clean while the people they're fighting are more than willing to get their hands dirty. This is a political battle. You have to get dirty and nasty and filthy to win, especially if you know your opponents are willing to do the same. That's why GG is controlled opposition.

>>1319

Twitter is a rigged game, you're a dickless faggot for trying to absolve SJWs and Twitter of any wrong doing.

>>1322

Twitter is a rigged game. You can either compensate by using the mechanics of the game against your enemies, or continue to play and bawl to everyone else that it's not fair.

Guess what GG did?

>>1335

>You can either compensate by using the mechanics of the game against your enemies

this one.

you and your "twitter dindu do nuffin" is pathetic.

>>1338

Twitter's a bunch of cancerous SJWs. Anyone who was invested in GG post-September 2014 knew that we would find no friends in the tech industry.

I had an idea of creating numerous blockbots and shilling them, seeding them with bad info to divide and kill Twitter. But really, the site's never turned a profit and people are leaving. It'll fall apart on its own. Besides, what can be done about Twitter besides try to encourage decentralized social media projects like Twister, and hoping SJWs don't ruin that project too?

>>1291

I can tell you're a gamergay because your attempt at a logical fallacy to deflect away my criticisms don't even do the courtesy of making sense.

If you're gonna try to do logical fallacies instead of argue against someone, please try to do it more competently.

Alternatively you could just go back to reddit. /politics/ seems to be hopelessly populated by reddit tier posters. I guess an exodus from hot/pol/ket really won't be happening.

>>1356

Triggered once you get outside of the hugbox?

>>1357

I'm a socialist, plebbit. Going to /pol/ is the last thing that would be a hugbox for me. Keep using them logical fallacies though, practice makes perfect.

>>1356

>politics/ seems to be hopelessly populated by reddit tier posters

Funny, the last 5 threads are /pol/-tier. If you can't handle different opinions, /politics/ is definitely not for you.

>>1416

>jew-capitalism lovers

>who is marx

>>1420

N-not a jew-capitalism lover? God you people are stupid.

Marx is not even a jew, either. His great grandfather was a jew, and his grandfather converted. Judaism is propagated matrilineally and Marx was 2 generations in as a Lutheran.

The largest critics of GG are always the ones who wanted it to become a thrust of the alt-right into the mainstream. When it was in the first month it was about video game journalism only. When 4chan started gaining traction in social media it derailed into the SJWs-unrelated-to-video-games sideshow. I'm not saying this is a bad thing; in fact I'm glad it happened since it led to an impact bigger than the original objective.

My point is that those who would call it a failure so far are those who came in for the sideshow and didn't get the climax they wanted. You see this thinking a lot in /pol/ now; they whine and bitch endlessly about how ideologically impure the pro-GG side is. They fail to realize that it only means they missed a golden opportunity to redpill the masses and it's their fault. Then again most of the /pol/ crowd that was ever active in GG isn't at /pol/ anymore for reasons you're likely familiar with if you're posting here. Most of the critics were never active at all. In before one or two people with anecdotal evidence to the contrary.

The impacts of the controversy will be felt in the years following it. People are more aware of how garbage all corporate media is. There is now a larger voice against modern political correctness severely eliminating its power. And GG is far from dead, even activity-wise; people still silently send e-mails and keep the motor running waiting for the next flashpoint.

>>535

>>592

Fortunately even normalfags are becoming sick of them. They're literal whos to more than GG. I'd still consider the amount of focus placed upon them to be one of GG's biggest mistakes, though. It took the eyes off the boring journalists and put it on the outlandish SJW queens.

>>485

>So what are your guys' thoughts on gamergate?

while making excuses for Trump's strong pro Israel position.

>They fail to realize that it only means they missed a golden opportunity to redpill the masses and it's their fault.

which they blame on everyone but themselves because of course it's always someone else's fault.

I'm hoping that part is just a vocal minority.

>>1437

And GG became a thrust of the alt-right into the mainstream, because that's where a lot of people that got into it early on ended up going. The problem is that happened after people bounced from GG, and GG wasn't a part of it.

Also

>/pol/

>ideological purity

kek

I remember one of them admitted browsing /clang/ in the thread about Bui's Imgur hack and several others agreed with him that robots are hot. It's all status signaling. They're as big of worthless degenerates as any Hollywood producer.

I can't help but wonder where old /pol/ and old /v/ went. I really hope it's not back to 4chan. That would really hurt and make me wonder just what I'm doing here, or on any imageboard for that matter.

>>1447

I love how they act like they're always right

>muh shmituh

>September goes by slowly and without much consequence

>i-i-i-i-it's a slow burn

Thank Christ this board is here, I stopped browsing /pol/ because it became a parody of itself after a while.

The disappointing thing to me was that many related to /pol/ and the alt right were exactly the strawman that SJWs accused them of being, dumb edgy kids wanting attention.

When GG wasn't edgy enough they flounced, they don't really care about the politics of it they just care about posturing on the Internet and looking edgy to their retarded friends.

I would say moderate success:

>More gamers are redpilled

>Better gaming sites such as Niche Gamer and Lewd Gamer

>Steam is allowing more hardcore content

>Anita Sarkessean lost a chunk of her following and is less credible.

>Radical Feminism in general got BTFO

>The rise of 8chan.

>>1818

The establishment and SJWs played it perfectly, I will say that. It's sad, because it looked like GG was actually making progress for a few months, and for a while it looked like they could have gotten back on track.

>Negatives have been, the short term increase in power of SJW's in the media and their "anti-troll" groups, GG in-fighting, e-celeb hangers on, and the GG radical fringe that dwells on reddit.

You forget to mention that greater government control of the internet will result from this. They've already done a test run in South Korea with their "real name system," after Choi Sun-Jil committed suicide apparently due to internet trolls. To me, that's where the real negative will lie, complete and utter surveillance of all of our online activities. The UN's pushing for it, and you know the US will try to at some point.

>It's easy to look back and say "we should of done things this way or that way" but the fact is, when they decided to drop the anti-GG articles, you only had two choices, attempt to play a PR war or just go full /b/ and start doxxing and harassing people left and right.

I think the third choice, spend the next year fighting over the right course of action to take, was the most damaging of all. Well, maybe the /b/ one wouldn't end well, but let's be honest, the kind of people that are able to do the kind of damage /b/ used to be able to do simply aren't around anymore, or wouldn't get invested in something like GG.

>>2041

the thing is, people in GG chose all three, some went to PR, heading to twitter, some wanted to go full /b/ that was /pol/ and ggtrevolt, and the rest of the people complained about everything that was happening although by that point, the media and wikipedia had made their move

The GG job is 99% done, press isnt going to try that shit much more, or will really hide it, but in someways it was taken to far and made women the victims and gave them stage time and SJW suckup money flowing in

Gamergate is done, move on to wider political endeavors that will encompass doing the right thing.

>>485

One of the greatest things to happen on the internet for years. I know that sounds a bit over the top but I didn't even think something like this was possible since anons on cuckchan refuse to do raids. I expected it to die in a day and it lasted over a fucking year. It led to the exodus and a fuck ton of OC as well. I think it's fair to say that I've lost interest in it and I'm fine with it dying.

>>782

>>1437

this

>>611

cuckchan is filled with normalfags. Trust me I've met them and none of them seems to give a fuck about GG. Anon is in far better shape now that more of us use 8chan, lainchan, masterchan and all that shit while the normalfags all are mostly contained on halfchan.

I've also noticed faggots push the SJW narrative that it was all about the lulz and ledditors and SJWs made it about games journalism. Anybody who even paid a bit of attention during the early days knows that's wrong.

>>1818

>start doxxing and harassing people left and right.

This was never going to work and has never worked out.

It would have burnt out in a couple of weeks with nothing accomplished except ammo for professional victims and the anti SJW crowd knowing themselves to be the impotent villains.

Look at things like the Patreon hack, didn't do a god damn thing and was forgotten in a week.

Leftist shit since October of last year.

>Did gamergate "win"?

Obviously not, but it shifted the Overton window more to the Right, so it was effective at redpilling the ignorant masses until it was co-opted by Reddit cucks.

>>2230

Exactly my sentiment; it has done everything it was designed to do. Gamergate also wasn't the alt right's thrust into the mainstream but merely a turbo boost for it's ideas' itinerary into mainstream conservatism. The long term effects are more severe against the left overall than even the /v/ general wants to admit. Its core is still a reactionary movement.

Even if what Acidman warned us from happens, namely Plebbit taking Gamergate and getting it pozzed by leftfags because KiA is so goddamn restricted, it has massive long term effects on nerd culture. First the younger sections of nerd culture started to more or less fight against the progressive stack, many sentiments and quirks that were exclusive to /v/ or leaking to other places including the Payday2 subreddit of all places on God's gay earth. The gaming press is undergoing a reformation that will end with the classic model of games journalism becoming obsolete this decade. Then there is another aspect people ignore, because "muh toyskullz"; Gamergate brought people together who used to ignore each other. Aurini appeared on KoP, Justine Tunney turned up on a stream with Bechtloff and him, Derek Smart appeared in the open house etc. . This development just started however. Nobody knows what characters will end up where, bet this is what is certain: Many people may not like it, but this place is getting stitched together with the alt right now. Don't believe me? Just take a look at the Social Media comment sections of its prominent members.

Gamergate the event is over and the revolt may get nuked by people like Sargon of Akkad , who wasn't relevant for GG since summer. but its long term effects are far from over.

>>2228

Exactly. Which was a massive mistake that led to fracturing and infighting. /pol/ was the first to fall, because both /pol/ and /v/ or GG have more in common than SJWs than with each other politically. An alliance of left-libertarians and right-authoritarians was never going to last for long.

One thing that I've found interesting is that /pol/'s ops tend to be very short and with 2-4 month bursts in between them, likely to avoid the leejun shit GG became in the end.

I convinced them a while back that informal shit like this simply spreading shitty practices is okay a lot of loud boycott faggots assumed we were sucking off AAA but here we are laughing at Shekel yiddizen and getting blamed by butthurt goons.

>>485

Gaymer** tbh

get it right next time pls

smh

The effect it had in exposing normalfags to SJW ideology really can't be overstated. When people look back on it I think GG will be identified as the beginning of the end for social authoritarians' infiltration into the mainstream.

>>2715

/pol/ "ops" don't do anything expect maybe get a small mention in a buzzfeed article.

they aren't even ops, more like harmless pranks that even SJWs don't take issue with.

A lot of powerful and influential figures who were red-pilling people about feminism TRIPLED their social media presence/youtube subscriptions as this whole thing trucked in palettes of nuclear ammo against the fringe left.

I dare say GG is part of the reason recent polls show 71% of the US believes political correctness has gone too far, it's probably fueling the shit out of Trump's numbers.

Going at collective publishers rather then individual no name devs is a more effective meathod and having their individual bad actors in bullet points would be more effective. GGrevolts main failing is they are all talk and no action and obsessed with E-clebs. I've been told before GGr is essentially a third party troll D&C S4T included.

I don't really concern myself with them, but from what I've seen they ended up caving into the social justice warriors they claimed to be fighting rather than fighting Cultural Marxism. It still triggers leftists, so it has that going for it, but it's compromised by the way its adherents have been falling over themselves trying to appeal to moderates (i.e., cowards seeking the middle ground for its own sake) rather than taking a hard stance against Cultural Marxist principles.

>but from what I've seen they ended up caving into the social justice warriors they claimed to be fighting rather than fighting Cultural Marxism

It depends on the place

Reddit for example is controlled opposition.

/v/ still seems uncorrupted but bleeding interest

GGr much like reddit is controlled opposition full of useful idiots for third party trolls and dumbfucks obsessed with e-clebs over getting anything done at all. Take for example that Darkenmon character and S4T are allegedly connected from what my contacts friendly with third party tell me. So his dumbfuck followers could be connected with

GGhq is just a overmoderated board and the volunteers are too fixiated on being ontopic

from a "culture war" perspective, if you really want to track the beast at its heart campusreform.org does an excellent job.

it's like a website where every damn day is "this week in stupid", only scary as hell.

The Klan hood was thrown in the garbage, I'm happy about that. GG can and will have impact in the real world like with this SXSW thing.

I'm sad that /pol/ still clings to it like a security blanket making them irrelevant in the process.

It's hard to say whether or not if it "won" if it didn't have any solid demands in the first place.

Though a lot of the pointless idiots who did nothing but make noise in the beginning are gone, so that's a win.

Also all these people who got banned/ censored on sites have found each other and made their own community, so I guess that's a win too.

>And nearly every time they either accomplish nothing or end up a net negative.

it's net positive across the board, when you're actually doing something and not just posting LOL JEWS the Left actually will fight back. I think many on /pol/ don't realize that because they aren't posing a threat to the Left.

I am afraid that this aspect alone was enough to defang Gamergate tremendously. There are still positive longterm effects of all of it. Just check out >>2530.

/v/ itself is surprised that Gamergate lasted as long as it did. The latest side effect is the foundation of Breitbart Tech. The interpersonal effects are still a ongoing process.

Sometimes you can find some negative comments about Mark. These are usually on him. If you mean threads that are like "Lol Wii us sux! Fuck you Nintoddlers!". These are violating the rules. Plain and simple. The reasons behind these rules are maybe obscure to you, but I spoonfeed you: /v/ has been plagued by a troll group called foolz / IRC crew since 2012. You can always read about their antics on /irc/. If you don't trust me, check out the rawdata: http://www.file-upload.net/download-10803231/-janiteam.rar.html

hahahahahaha look at what they just did now

The PR argument is incredibly stupid, PR is why GG was so successful and long lasting.

The anti PR people could have made their own hashtag/movement/whatever in the year they've spent doing nothing but complaining about PR in Gamergate.

I'd love for them to prove me wrong about PR but all it seems they want to do is have a whine.

>>4702

Nice mene. Listen guys, since that is related to the entire PR thing: Gamergays is not the alt right! When the Gamers are dead articles hit and it wasn't the Quinnspiracy anymore, /v/ didn't have the time to cultivate and establish dozens of media enterprises, a huge presence on blogger.com a goddamn Forum where normalfags can be spoon fed. It had to act immediately. Hiding ones powerlevel and leaving more aggressive operations to interested outsiders was the smart option at that point. What caps off your impertinence is your total inability to do anything besides obsessing over drama. You have failed to communicate Sargon's treacherous ways effectively for example. You couldn't do anything with the fact that he is irrelevant for GG by now.

Another annoying thing anti PR fags and twitterfags are doing is attacking people on the right. A very prominent example is Aurini's twitter feed.

If this operation flies, there are 2 objectives to archive with it: First throwing out destructive faggots, second make /v/ able to pick its battles and support the ones that are concerns for everyone. Objective 2 is the most important point when you want to guarantee stability. At the end of the day, /v/ is just our vidya board. It can not fight the entire culture war.

That's how it was in the beginning, but a new board owner took over a few months back now and they don't do that quality control shit anymore.

>>4912

Considering the only McCarthyism going on lately has been cultural marxists hate-mobbing people out of their jobs for "wrongthink" and passing laws that literally make all PiV sex rape (guilty until proven innocent for college men), I think he's right in calling it out.

>>4912

Cultural Marxism is the ideology behind most of that crap. The SJW who are still attempting to take over gaming by progressive stack have inherited all its ideas, all its tactics and sometimes these people share the same psychological nature.They are using the same overall strategy to obtain a different goal. Commercial success for them is very unlikely with Indiepocalypse going.

The reason why this wasn't pushed so much is hiding ones powerlevel. You can't blarp about inside enemies to a theological and historical illiterate populace, what twitter in fact is. Instead gamergate for most of the time is talking a language that these people understand very well, yet goes over the head of most normalfags; the language of fear. Just look at all the paranoid shit they are spewing.

>>4925

>>4922

"Cultural Marxism" is a completely nonsensical oxymoron adapted by the likes of Pat Buchanan and William Lind and the John Birch Society to revive the Red Scare/McCarthyism phenomenon in the US by slandering leftism itself as a plot to blow up America and make eagles cry. The actual ideologies behind most of the enemies of GG are 3rd wave feminism and "critical theory". Please don't stoop to attacking straw men as easily as the opposition does. And make no mistake that's exactly what this fucking idiotic label amounts to: Associating these people with Communism to attack them on that basis, when in actuality most of them are bourgeois identity politickers, the literal fucking antithesis of it. It does your cause no good to throw out these ludicrous conspiracy theories and expect to be taken seriously.

Found the cultural marxist!

Here's a well-sourced wikipedia article on it:

https://web.archive.org/web/20140825062315/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_Marxism

It was then deleted by a self-identified cultural marixst:

https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiInAction/comments/2r3jjf/

Sorry, but cultural marxism is premised on the idea of controlling thought by controlling communication and revising history, as demonstrated by the way this article was tossed down the memory-hole

>>4952

>"Cultural Marxism" is a completely nonsensical oxymoron adapted by the likes of Pat Buchanan and William Lind and the John Birch Society to revive the Red Scare/McCarthyism phenomenon in the US by slandering leftism itself as a plot to blow up America and make eagles cry.

First, yes cultural Marxism is a philosophical oxymoron. It hasn't been invented by American thinkers but by German thinkers from the Frankfurt School. After WW1 failed to unite the working class of all countries as predicted by Marx and the left got the message that they can shove their nice books up its ass from the German working class, a handful of radicals founded the Institut für Sozialforschung in Frankfurt/M. These people cooked up theories why society didn't want to become socialist. One the base theoretician that got their attention was Antonio Gramsci according to whom the people refuses socialism because cultural institutions like the Family, the Church etc. .

>The actual ideologies behind most of the enemies of GG are 3rd wave feminism and "critical theory"

Also colloquially known under the name cultural marxism. These ideologies are in fashion. The things that were all the rage back then were race strife, Lesbianism even pedo acceptance.

>Associating these people with Communism to attack them on that basis, when in actuality most of them are bourgeois identity politickers

Additional material:

You are missing the point here, yet you reveal their motives. Take a look at these people. The usual ant GG crusader is some pansy rich boy who has never had to struggle for anything in his life. Not even the NEET sense. As I said above: They share the psychological nature and tacticts with balls to walls Salon Marxists. You are right about one thing though: Going out and screaming that connection to total strangers who never heard of obscure Marxist thinkers is the stupidest thing you can do if you want to bring up the culture war issues in public.

>the literal fucking antithesis of it.

Nope. Not according to findings from the alt right from 2012. Spoon feeding these here would derail the thread.

Feminism typifies the cultural marxist approach:

Revise history, censor and expunge any contrary fact from record, proclaim anyone who remembers this contrary fact and calls out their orwellian behavior "insane".

Exactly what I said: Tacticts and psychological nature are basically the same for all those movements. If you go further back in history, you can follow that behavior back to the Jacobin.

This is just a short review. What's so propaganda about that?

>>4972

That's not at all what I said. Cultural Marxism as defined by the likes of Pat Buchanan or William Lind is simple propaganda.

>the well-documented activities of the frankfurt school

If it's so "well-documented" then please do present these many instances of Frankfurt School-authored works where they actually use the term "cultural Marxism".

>>4977

>Cultural Marxism as defined by the likes of Pat Buchanan or William Lind is simple propaganda.

They assigned a properly descriptive name to the very real tactics used by neo-progressive activists to undermine reason and force their agenda without actual debate of its merits.

That's not "propaganda", that's naming something which needs to be named.

>If it's so "well-documented" then please do present these many instances of Frankfurt School-authored works where they actually use the term "cultural Marxism".

The frankfurt school's "critical theory" is, by practice, the application of collectivist/marxist "class warfare" as a lens against culture: "Cultural Marxism"

>>4978

>properly descriptive name

One that almost nobody who came up with these theories seems to have used, and one that's an oxymoron in itself. Yeah, real "descriptive".

>the application of collectivist/marxist "class warfare" as a lens against culture

Then it's literally not Marxism.

>>4984

>One that almost nobody who came up with these theories seems to have used

Gee, I wonder why pointing out the fact you've used marxist approaches would be poisonous to its acceptance?

It's sort of like how the leftist media calls the fighting-age, militantly-islamic men invading Europe "migrants" instead of invaders, and how the US congress named one of the most invasive laws ever passed "The PATRIOT act".

>Looking at something through the uniquely marxist frame of "class warfare" is not marxist

#sjwlogic

>>4985

>something

That "something" is culture. Marx wanted to transcend culture and explicitly view society through the lens of class stuggle. If it's about analyzing culture then it's not fucking Marxism, plain and simple. Maybe they could have attempted to tie it to some other branch of Communism/Socialism in constructing their Red Scare boogeyman but Marxism is about the dumbest label they could have chosen.

it was bullshit invented by the sperglords of ggrevolt who wanted to politicize it rather than leave it as a bunch of pissed off people tired their game outlets feeding them political propaganda.

>>5031

>Somewhere along the way, something changed.

When people listened to IA and became Tumblr SJWs that used /pol/ memes.

To add I get what he was talking about with the attack stuff but going in that direction would have just led to things burning out and losing the wider appeal. I was ready to pass over the whole thing to moderates and Leftists after the SJWs/Left Establishment went all in on it because that would be the most disruptive and damaging response to their attack.

The charity stuff being people paying a penance for a crime they didn't commit is another issue but in my view to get people really worked up and stick with it they have to know they are the good people that were wronged and with Gamergate that was true, that was the mentality you needed and the charity stuff fed into that.

>>5034

>Tumblr SJWs that used /pol/ memes.

QFT.

This is GGrevolt to a tee, and they dragged all of 8/pol/ with them.

note, I'm not blaming IA personally for this, people are responsible for their own actions and if they take something he says and do something dumb with it then it's on them.

who knows, maybe he was right about the attack attack stuff.

he should acknowledge at least that it was his friends KoP that set off a lot of the negativity by acting like a dumbass. Lying about some fake facebook post, claiming that Mundane Matt was trying to assassinate him. Fucking e-celebs.

>>4991

It's not. It's a marxist interpretation of culture.

Cultural marxism is taking the marxist notion of capital into culture. Declare that the capitalists not only appropriate all the money, but also all the culture, so that the masses are left cultureless. Therefore, cultural marxism empowers the proletariat by sharing culture with them. As a result, you have pleb tier culture centered around fucking.

I've ignored all the GG drama from the beginning but I noticed that the most retarded /pol/acks have become very annoyed by it so they must be doing something right.

Look what I have found. This is what Gamergate has more or less prevented for Video games.

Another one video from the same guy. Only related to the argument starting in >>4952 .

>>5050

>It's not. It's a marxist interpretation of culture.

So let me get this straight, marxist interpretations of culture (through a class-warfare perspective), and the "activism" which results from this and is utterly racist and sexist by portraying "all x demographic" as the problem is not "cultural marxism"?

I'm running out of straight-jacket pics!

>>5108

>marxist interpretations of culture (through a class-warfare perspective)

Exactly. It's not. Cultural marxism is only one specific school of marxism.

> "activism" which results from this and is utterly racist and sexist by portraying "all x demographic" as the problem

This, however, is quite likely actual cultural marxism.

>>5111

hair-splitting post-modernist attack on reason at its finest.

At least you admitted it's cultural marxism by the end of that though.

>>5124

Yes, because you gave the example which undoubtedly is cultural marxism. Even though it's completely unrelated to the original topic.

Just the notion of class warfare isn't cultural marxism yet.

>>5127

applying a frame of collective against collective class-warfare to sociocultural rather than economic topics is cultural marxism.

The activism which springs from that is also cultural marxism (it wouldn't be discussed if these people didn't find it "problematic")

>>5181

see >>5050

this is exactly my first argument where we started

The advantage of Gamergate was that most people are happy just to be suicidally apathetic and stick to just playing video games all day or watching anime, see Japan.

With Gamergate since you tied the politics to those interests it drew them out of the apathy shell.

The Right being filled with absolute morons that seemingly only exist to get their shit kicked in by the Left don't understand how this stuff works,

>hurrr it's just video games hurrr

and so everyone is fucked.

>>5229

Exactly

I wonder if these opinions were spread by moderators themselves or they are enabling D&C faggots like S4T

its funny these cucks believed a literal crackhead

>>5229

A lot of the right views video games this way. They don't understand that by ceding a highly influential medium, one that reaches young, white men disproportionately, to the left, they're handcuffing themselves.

>Video games are for children!

>Let's talk tort reform

>I have no interest in trying to make sure the other side doesn't brainwash 13-18 year old boys

>They're degenerates for playing games anyway

Meanwhile Ass Creed is now teaching people that there were open and proud trannies in Victorian England and Bethesda's discussing ways to ensure that all mods for TES6 are feminist-friendly.

>>535

Lol, basically Gamergate is Nazi Germany and SJW is the USSR? We basically made the SJ stronger and expanded over more territory (for the analogy, this is 1945)

>>5351

Not exactly. The SU wasn't paranoid about Hitler returning and GG as such is hardly dead althought the initial event is over. Just watch this:>>2530

>>5351

No, they're overreaching and a whole new group of people is awakened to media bias. Hell, Trump's basically running on a platform of "The Media Hates Me" and has a red carpet being rolled out to the White House at the moment. I'm not going to say that GG played a major role in that or anything, but I'm sure at least some of the support he's received is in response to people taking a look at the MSM's reaction to GG and saying "Wow, these people are fucking crooks."

>>5468

GG may not be dead, but it's certainly not what it was intended to be. I honestly wonder if Acid did us a favor by completely fucking the anon front like he did.

I was big into gamergate till it got co-opted by the leftist and became sjw lite.

It had potential but threw it all away.

Jesus revolt you really need that victim complex they removed shitposters and offtopic shit while I don't approve of the mods being autistic fucks about whats on topic not removing shitposters is what made 8pol complete shit in case you haven't noticed.

And you are conflating press relations with public relations like a revoltfag who thinks everyone who doesn't act autistic is KIA automatically

You can never not remove shitposters from any popular forum of discussion, its nearly impossible unless you go full retard like Neogaf does. /pol/s problem is that the current volunteers are idiots who go off on power trips like stereotypical redditor/stormfront fags and act overdramatically when it comes to simple ban cases for no apparent reason other then to set a bad example and look like online epeen dictators. The only thing you can do in regards to shitposters is be reasonable and do your best to not encourage retarded posting habits and tell people to ignore whatever they think is retarded instead of getting flamed up about it.

In terms of public relations I think people are too hung up on what people do inside GG and don't understand that everyone has their own way of having fun inside GG and you should be allowed to do your own thing and not have one side rule over another and go full NOFUNALLOWED against that side and create useless division. Also board/forum mods for GG have become too much like singular leaders in the movement and there needs to be some detachment from moderation and GG actions so there is less bias when it comes to moderation decisions and treatment of users.

>Jesus revolt you really need that victim complex they removed shitposters and offtopic shit

Offtopic shit meant anti-SJW discussion outside of a containment thread, so it was all about muh effics. Acid took it upon himself to be The Leader of Gamergate and decided who to get rid of and who to keep. You /v/irgins were right there with him, wanting to purge people that didn't agree with your general-forged hivemind.

In case you forgot, /gg/, /gamergate/, and /hq/ were supposed to be catch all boards where shitposting was allowed and only blatant shilling was punishable. Purging that board had blowback far worse than you can imagine. I've never been banned from HQ but I have no interest in going back to there or /v/ because of the sanitary environment with an enforced consensus that you all put together.

>not removing shitposters is what made 8pol complete shit in case you haven't noticed

No, it's arbitrary moderation that's made it shit, as well as a community that wants to remove anyone to the left of Mussolini. Some days they let a shill thread against Christians stay up for over 600 posts, some days they ban everyone that responds to a shill thread without a sage. They're retarded.

>And you are conflating press relations with public relations like a revoltfag who thinks everyone who doesn't act autistic is KIA automatically

>caring about public relations

>on the internet hate machine

>being a faggot

Your dakimakura misses you. I think the last load's finally starting to dry, better get back to her, you Kool-Aid guzzling /v/igger.

your sargon hugpillow misses you

Not to be pedantic, but you can be politically moderate and still support or at least be more sympathetic to Gamergate than to SJWs.

The real problem suggested by the image is, I think, not political moderateness / centrism but cowardly social posturing and smug conflict avoidance by *pretending* to be moderate. Clearly the man in the picture is just another brain-dead leftist, and that's the point.

A cuckservative isn't so much a moderate as he is a coward that rationalizes his cowardice.

The moderates are who you stand to gain support from. By all means appeal to an ideological base, but muzzling moderates is a clumsy mistake.

Exactly

revoltcuck plz go.

your D&C shill, despite being launched after GG fulfilled all its main goals, has been uncovered: >>296643

it's like fapping, you do it for pleasure, then you regret it, these supporters wanted some fame and publicity, once they had a taste, they wanted to play it safe and look like the good guys

I forgot to add that the Gawker email campaign worked on halfchan and carried over here.

You have to boards for this.

Stop spamming it everywhere.

>It got locked into a catch-22 when people started using a hashtag as a identity.

It was bound to happen eventually. A lot of the participants had never been part of something resembling a movement before.

It is a good thing that GG died, if it hadn't it would really have turned into chanology 2.0. But at the same time the main objectives, keep SJWs out of gaming and some redpilling, were accomplished. Gaming is and will certainly be the main form of brainwashing of the younger generations.

And let's not forget that it was a really fun tide for the most part.

>>6380

Nah it was more like Acid mans mods was likely a palnt and he was incompetent and overdramatic for example one guy got banned while fucking debating him about bans so it was more messy then that also the ircfags and third party got butthurt over it and exaggerated shit about Acid in their own right basically a dumb spic fighting some power hungry faggot for scraps

>>6469

Also third party trolls had recruited S4T to fuck with the morons of neo pol the fact they took the lead of a literal crackhead degenerate shows how far they have fallen
