What ever happened with this?

who gives a shit
I don't know.
And I don't care.
>>80744881
>>80744921
Shills detected
>>80744731
infiltrated and rendered useless.
fun while it lasted though

A gamergate (/ˈɡæmərˌɡeJt/) is a mated worker ant that is able to reproduce sexually, i.e. lay fertilized eggs that will develop as females.
>>80744731
kotaku took a hit and some other sites were called out
the general populace still doesnt give a fuck but big publishers are starting to realize that pandering to fags isnt something to bother with
but that was mostly due to the games selling like shit that did pander
>>80744731
It ignited the new age of PC
>>80744731
Slandered by globalists like any movement that threatens their hegemony
FIVE GUYS, BURGERS AND FRIES
Did we have that much in common with gamer gate or did they just use us to drop us as soon as they got to have their games in peace and don't care about free speech anywhere else?
Gaming is degenerate fuck this movement.
>>80744731
Basically nothing. It started Milo's transition to alt-right figurehead, maybe?
>>80744731
Nu-makles started to tone police it so no one was allowed to criticize trans fags and grills
main problem with /gg/ was that a bunch of people at the top (inb4 MUH LEADERS meme) were basically just oldschool /b/tards in it for the luls. nobody really cared after the first few months and thats why everything went to shit.
after we dropped out most people got replaced by infiltrate faggots and crypto-SJWs
>>80745631
not really
>>80745445
Pros:
Kotaku lost alot of money
Sparked alot more energy in the current anti egalitarian counter culture
Harvested gallons of delicious tears
Cons:
Now used as a scapegoat boogeyman both to invalidate and shut down opposing views and to push a narrative.
Not allowed to criticize shit sites like Gawker, Kotaku or Buzzfeed without being lumped in with a bunch of redditors
Increased amount of reddit tourists on 4chan.
All that "this is a serious internet war" stuff was annoying
Energized the left as much as it did the right.
Alot of fat legbeards got their delicious paetron shekels
All in all it just gave shitlibs more ammo to demonize anyone that doesn't tow the line, if it were better organized and more cohesive it would have accomplished more.
>>80744731
They won. The journalism sites now post their ethics codes on the front page, many of the corrupt/bitchy journalists lost their jobs, and a lo of the devs making sjw games cant find anyone interested in their shit.
Anita Sarkeesian has stopped reviewing videogames, Arthur Chu went (more) crazy (than he already was), and Brianna Wu has received approximately 0 attention -- much to his dismay -- since this all ended.
There were some casualties, some games have been irrevocably SJW-ized and had their cast culturally enriched, but it's pretty much over.
4chan cucks wanted to virtue signal so they said they had nothing to do with it
It was killed by SJW scum and it's leverage was used against it to promote that hook nosed kike feminist that /v/ really hates. It accomplished pretty much the opposite of what it was supposed to do.
Zoe Quinn won. She has her own Wikipedia page.
But last I heard, she and the other miscreants are trying to find jobs because no one would hire them.
Indiepocalypse happened and took out all the alt-development hipster community with it.
Traditional gaming media took the dirt nap and got replaced by streamers. Perhaps kotaku still publishes their shit but no one is just paying attention anymore. SJW-pandering Mirror's Edge Catalyst got released and flopped terribly.
>>80744731
Gawker declared bankruptcy from something entirely unrelated. Game "journalism" is still as corrupt as ever. Overall, it accomplished fucking nothing.
It did give us Brushie Eesti though.
>>80744731
I'm a feminist now because I don't want to be called a neckbeard.
Don't care about games journalism, or whatever. But I did notice the backlash red pulled many normies, especially when the sites they used to love we're now branding them the bad guys.
They did nothing wrong in their eyes. But suddenly they were one of those evil right winger mysoginists they'd heard about in the news. The people their left wing cohorts sneered at and joked about when watching Jon Oliver. They were one of us. Lol.
>>80744731
All of the SJW figure heads have faded into obscurity while Milo has become a small cultural icon, and is only growing in popularity.
Gavin, Crowder, Milo, Sommers, GWW, and a few others are now more popular than ever. No one talks about Anita, or any of the random gaming media writers. They're totally irrelevant now.
Libfags tried to demonize a segment of society and ended up creating champions.
>>80745631
Gamergate was about exposing corruption in the media, the same media the globalists own and use to brainwash the people into following their agenda. So there's a lot of common ground between us.
>>80745959
>Increased amount of reddit tourists on 4chan.
That and fucking the celebrity nude leaks on /b/.
>>80746247
It also made moot go crazy and lead to the other chan which took some cancer with it.
>>80745959
this.
The cons outweigh the good.
>>80745102
Not shills, just not retarded. It was just another huff and buff feminist outrage that got blown over since who fucking cares, it's videos games
Pretty sure it did what it set out to do and so no one really cares about it anymore, the exception to that being the SJWs that continue to try to demonize it.
It was some web drama that fizzled out after a bit. Video gaming is an awful hobby.
They're currently trying to sabotage the new (and pretty good according to RT) Ghostbusters because it threatens the ethics of gaming journalism like nothing before.
>>80745919
Did this guy disappear ? I kinda miss that Estonian telling white to come.
Gamergate was 4chan's Vietnam.
>>80746763
He started to use this gif and then disappeared. I miss him too
>>80745922
90 PERCENT OF POST IN THIS THREAD ARE DISINFO SHILLS
WHAT REALLY HAPPENED WERE MODS EVERYWHERE INCLUDING 4CHAN KEPT DELETING THREADS AND BANNING PEOPLE WHO BROUGHT IT UP AND THEY KEPT GIVING RECOGNITION TO A CUMDUMPSTER LITERALLY FUCKED FOR GAMES AND PROLLY TO GET ON THE NERD TEAM AND WHEN PEOPLE KEPT BRING UP THE FACT SHE WAS BASICALLY SLEEPING TO GAIN STATUS MASSIVE COORDINATED DAMAGE CONTROL TRIED TO HIDE THEIR REASONING BY CHANGING THE NARRATIVE FROM THIS BITCH WAS BEING A WHORE FOR FAVORS WHICH IS FROWNED UPON TO NERDS HARASSING HER, BUT HOW DOES NERDS HARASSING HER MAKE HER LEGITIMATE? IT DOESENT 4CHAN AND THE INTERNET GOT KEKED BUT ALL GAMERS REALIZED THESE SITES ARE FULL OF SHIT AND TOOK MOVEMENTS LIKE FEMENIST AND WHORE SLEEPING AROUND AS JOKES, THEY WERE ESENTIALLY PUTTING THEIR FINGERS IN THEIR EARS HOPING THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY BUT THEY HAD THERE MINDS MADE UP AND THE MAJORITY SAW THE TRUTH OF THE SITUATION REGARDLESS OF ALL THE DAMAGE CONTROL SO THEY WON THE BATTLE BUT GUESS WHO WON THE WAR
>>80745987
>Anita Sarkeesian
Ain't she working at twitter.
>>80746865
Only if you're implying that 4chan is Vietnam
>leftists claim to be winning
>inflict a lot of casualties
>shout that they won to try and drown out cold hard facts
>ignore that the enemy(us) managed to maintain integrity and achieve our end goals
>after all is said and done tons of leftists walk away battered and bruised, unable to find work, not too dissimilar from dejected US GIs after the war
4chan stronk
Vietnam stronk
>>80745959
THAKS FOR HELPING PUSH THE RED VS BLUE NARRATIVE SHILL BUT IM LIBERAL AND I WAS AGAINST THE FAGGOTRY
The media managed to entirely hijack it as a harassment campaign.
>people said Zoe fucked five guys for reviews
>only one guy was a reviewer
>he didn't review her game
GG was an embarrassment.
>>80744731
Nothing happened just like any modern western political movement
Its still out there.
>>80747258
Kill yourself. No, really.
Nothing
>>80746674
i don't want my video games to get ruined by sjws like films did
So glad I pulled the chute and left it in 2014.
>>80746480
Actually it's about ethics in gaming journalism.
>>80744731
Mass suicide.
Yes whatever happened to those websites.
It was a movement against the lack of integrity in video game journalism.
Then it was hijacked into an anti-feminist movement. It was quite easy, too. The original scandal with Zoe Quinn led to people harassing her, and she and her allies said the GamerGate supporters were against feminism. Then the bullshit started, they shifted the dialogue and here we are.
>neckbeards screaming "I-I-T'S ABOUT ETHICS IN GAME J-JOURNALISM" ad nauseum
>letting video games affect your life and be something more than a fun pastime
People actually got behind this cancerous shit? This is the new "AM I BEING DETAINED??!!"
>>>/reddit/
>>80744731
It redpilled a lot of people.
FUCKING ANITA SARKEESIAN RAISED $200,000 FOR HER RETARDED VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE ABOUT WOMEN IN GAMES.
>$200,000
How retarded were the people who donated? Wtf...just
zoe quinn is a whore and game "journalists" are terrible people
>>80745860
>>80745919
Did the Vivian game even get made? Shit it's almost been 2 years.
I stopped following Gamergate after the first couple of months desu
>>80744731
Feminism happened. It strengthened the power of women in the gaming industry. If you want to know what happened, you don't ask /pol/ you ask /v/ they will tell you how despicable it is now. Watching out games influenced. Shit.
>>80748181
No one was legitimately harassing her.
Thats why she repeatedly faked attacks against herself, going so far as to pretend like her twitter was hacked, then posting a screen shot while she was still logged in after making the tweets herself as "proof."
No one was legitimately harassing Anita either, which is why she too faked attacks against herself.
The anti-feminist/SJW bullshit was at the core from the very beginning. Unscrupulous media was pushing the narrative and that was directly tied into everyone crying out for journalists to adhere to a simple code of ethics.
Got co-opted by Reddit and turned into a lesser left leaning SJW circlejerk.
>>80748629
It did and it was shit.
>>80744731
it was a Pyrrhic victory for the anti-gg-crowd
>anything remotely bad happens in entertainment media
>it's always somehow gamergate's fault
>>80748181
The thing about her "harassment" was that she -just like many other SJWs- are very thin skinned and will genuinely perceive even the slightest disagreement as harassment.
Now, I'm sure there have been a few people who have done malicious threats against her, but she's a public figure and with that kind of publicity it's sort of expected to get at least one or two crazies. But to brush all criticism as harassment is just dishonest, and will devalue the experiences of people who have really gotten doxxed and legit harassed for their internet opinions.
>>80744731
it produced a lot of funny OC which entertained me
many people took the internet too seriously and got butthurt
culminated in an episode of CSI with ice cube and this infamous line

>>80749973
They were laughed out of that little UN meeting by the way
>>80746674
>I dont care about vidya, so who cares if fems ruins them!
Absolute faggots like you are why the feminist gained ground on so many level.
kys
>>80744731
It finished its kike plant job of totally wrecking 4chan and so was put away.
>>80748809
It's all moot and his cucked mod team's fault. If they hadn't censored the discussion it would have burned out after a couple more weeks.
>>80746215
This. Ultimately when companies were no longer able to garner good PR from hiring them their value hit $0 if not a liability. Zoe is an influencer but the people she influences don't spend any dollars in the gaming industry.
Companies figured this out and walked away from her.
>>80748259
Being unethical journalists meant games weren't being judged on merit but a developers connections, no better than Payola. This post tells me corruption really has become mainstream.
>>80751265
Fucking cancer detected.
Do you think this man's wife knows his true power level?
>>80744731

"a wild 1PostByThisID appears"
Sure enough, I was right.
Do you think this man's wife knows his true power level /pol/

>Reading game reviews
What happened to trying out a game before purchasing it
>>80745402
This, it held out pretty well despite being literally attacked by EVERY kike media outlet, corporation and even the fucking UN and politicians like le weedman.
>>80744731
Everyone who gave a fuck moved to eight chan
>>80746215
4chan has its own Wikipedia page too!
>>80744731
It won it's own battles, but the real enemies succeeded in using it's useful idiots and moved up to higher places for corruption.
>>80744731
It got hijacked, and ended up being a show where two groups of monkey throwing shit at each other.
Let GG be a lesson to everyone, you can't have a faceless and leaderless movement.
>>80752793
publisher decided to butcher them, into several overpriced DLC's by a price tag of 60$.

We are winning- we did it for free, they did it for profit and had nothing to deliver for said profit- I heard Anita works at a subway™ in Fresno currently
>>80753310
I heard Anita was doing a new series, about women in history.

Their /v/ is run by a kike who bans you for being critical of e celebs, weeb shitposters, and GG in general. He's also a tripfag attention whore

Is it on the food network ?

Link?
>>80753510
So what'll she do after that one month of "work"?

Beats me

Gawker employees regularly post on 4chan. Gawker hired viral firms to promote anti-gamergate shit across the internet. A disgruntled kotaku employee friend of mine tips me off when they're promoting specific /v/ threads, to which I post:

Everytime you get baited into visiting a "journalism" site, you are inadvertently giving pennies. Even with ad-blockers installed, the company uses visitor statistics to maintain relationships with their advertisers. Windows operating systems have a feature called the "hosts file" that will let you block these websites.
>The Windows Hosts file allows you to define which websites are linked to which IP addresses.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_(file)
Here is how to use it
Notepad
Open with admin privileges.
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
This is where your Hosts file is located. Open "hosts" (does not have an extension) with Notepad. If you utilize Spybot - Search & Destroy, you will see a very long list of unsafe domains already entered here. For your convenience, enter the following lines in at the top:

Remember the 10+ threads created every hour? That's why people were getting banned and threads were deleted. Not because of some conspiracy.
Only OC that ever came out of the whole debacle was Vivian James who is everyone's waifu on /v/.
After Gamergate fell apart on fullchins I made a board dedicated to raiding tumblr on the site called /opnei/. Doesn't seem like anyone remembers it though.
It brought to light how pathetic the games journalism racket was (something we already could have guessed) and then got turned into a punching bag for feminists who don't like something on the internet. It also created or helped a few e-celebs rise to popularity. People lost interest over time.

>>80744731
Companies felt forced to take a side so, they hired the "victims" to make their games more gender neutral. Those games are now shit and these people got what they wanted, attention and a pay-day for complaining about nothing.
Literally nobody who matters cares about video games kindly fuck off.
>>80755526
>People lost interest over time.
The official slogan of Human History.
>>80744731
It basically caught nearly every gaming website in a web of lies and corruption. It spilled over into actual media outlets except those media outlets went full damage control to the point of people not caring anymore. It probably goes to a federal level of corruption. Soros was probably jacking off to Kotaku tweets.
Let's be honest here, gamergate was always about trashing and bullying SJWs and that's exactly why is was great.
I feel like mainstream game development took a turn for the worse after Columbine.
Like before then, the mainstream regarded it as a neat experiment, but afterwards as something weird and degenerate, and then all we were left with was CoD and Halo shit.
>>80746242
That was the game with the main character modelled after some college whore that wore a mattress?
Glad it flopped.
Also. Glad I disconnected from gaming culture. Gamer gate sounds dumb and a waste everyone's time.
>>80744731
4change spring
Dictator moot sent in the police snipers (gay/black/tranny/furfag mods and admins) then when that didn't work he used chemical weapons (/pol/ harbor), sold 4chan to the Japanese and ragequit
Gawker was financially destroyed
/v/fag refugees swarmed into /pol/ fleeing the mod crackdown on their own board, when they returned to their homeland they brought redpills with them
/pol/ resistance leadership set up shop in hiding over the border in /s4s/, and picked up a love for memes from their host during the exile
Gaming "media" revealed to collude in email rings about what articles to release, what ideas to push and when.
Leftist millennials revealed their power level as true braindead useful idiots.
Gamergate was the unheeded warning of what things were to come in 2015 and 2016. The same tactics, both of mainstream media and of sjw cucks on social media, were used during Gamergate as have since been used during brexit and against Trump
The significance of gg is highly underrated, because the context (about video games and mostly limited to online) made it seem insignificant.
In reality, the significance was that it was the first time that the entire leftwing establishment, from broadcast television all the way down to the lowly numale on Twitter, joined together in lockstep unison to use any and all means to silence and shutdown and damage-control what would otherwise have been a quickly forgotten minor happening
>>80758086
But the 6th gen was pretty great, normalfag games like COD and Halo hadn't completely whitewashed the industry yet and all kinds of creative, great and even challenging games came out then.
The beginning of the end was Portal. It incited the fan cycle where girls got introduced. Also the Big Bang Theory. Does anyone have a pic of that timeline of video games and girl's response to it?
