Am I allowed to ask what happened to the whole "conspiracy." That happened a month back. Like. The whole fact that Gnoji was lieing about everything. And even though all these news sites, though shit, jumped on the bandwagon to actually defend her. I mean, would it have all be different if she denied the fact that it all happened, rather than run from it? Rather than milking out on all that what happened. I'm not doing a call to arms, mods. I just want to know what happened. I feel I can get the straightest story here, rather than on various other news sites that I'm unsure of trusting due to bias.

Erm, pic kinda related, I guess.

>tl;dr version

>People looked into his story and confirmed 3 of the 5 guys.
>Those guys were all connected to the industry and either gave she who shall not be named, positive, press, awards, or influence over the media.
>There was a massive media blackout and attempt to censor the story on sites like Reddit and 4chan (the main reason why they teamed up)
>More digging found an e-mail group called Games Journo Pros where video game journalists conspired and decided what stories to and not to cover.
>It was also confirmed they blacklisted people from the site

But wouldn't the fact that he said it was all just a hoax kind of throw away the whole thing?
>>
He never said it was a hoax, in fact, she who shall not be named actually had a court gag order placed on him to keep him from talking.

Plus there's evidence showing there is a much larger conspiracy and corruption going on.

>Because it was about corruption, the journalists and their allies quickly tried to make it about sexism and feminism
>There have been false flags and highly questionable threads made against them which they claim were made by people wanting to end corruption
>This is backed up by the fact that so far every threat has been found to have been done by a third party, or the FBI has said the threat wasn't creditable.
>Instead of engaging them head on, the anti-corruption groups are contacting advertisers telling them to cut ties with the sites.
>The biggest blow was Intel pulling out of gamer sutra
>Gawker (parent company of kotaku) lost their shit and called any advertiser who pulled their money from sites 'craven idiots'

The current industry is shit and just about everyone hates it except for the journalists who profit off it. But due to the public influence they have on opinion, developers just can't come out and say they support anti-corruption since they'd be branded as sexist and their games would reviewed more harshly.

if you need to choose a side, make up your own mind after looking up all the facts. The only problem is both sides want you to think the central core of the debate is on something different. corruption vs sexism.


Not even 4chan is immune to this. Moot has ties to a girl who runs a PR firm for Gawker and is banning all discussion on this on sight for weeks too.

as if I wanted to promote it at all

I'm just providing means for discussing the problem. I have 0 loyalty to brands, websites, and whatnot. I do however, want to see the current gaming media to stop existing as it is, completely corrupt and purely an advertising machine.

And I recommend you don't limit yourself to 4chan (or any other website) for this. People must know the truth, as in, fucking facts, not distortions. Manfred von Karma would be proud of these so called 'SJWs'

We're currently being 'occupied' by SJWer shitposters. However I've posted on /pol/ as a leftist, the SJWers don't hold a candle to them in arguments and the best they can do is group shame.

Tip: exchanging useful and important information with other websites is easy, free and takes little to no time. You don't need to start browsing other websites regularly for weeks to be able to find a section dedicated to this issue (or any other for that matter), everything is piss easy nowadays. And once we 'win', everybody can go back to our regular schedules. Though 'winning' would mean that SJWs and retarded women have finally shut up, and that'll never fucking happen

GG was an eventual causility as a natural response to the unopposed power general SJW have on the populous. Think about it:

Both bodies do or have:
-Noble intentions
-Fanatics
-focus on miniscule issues versus the larger global issue
-Lack any actual organization
-Are being exploited for profit

To be a member of either of these factions is pointless now. The war has started and will continue for a while. Unless there is a sizable factor in either on of the parties or if they break from the assets listed about them, this war will be a standstill

Brownshirting is a whole other issue from financial sabotage, which is why that article is great.

Gamergate IS the dissent.
And they tried to censor it pretty hard.

It didn't matter what Zoe Quin said. There was always going to be a witch hunt. People still lap up any conspiracy theory they find and use it as concrete evidence to act like a shit.

>>269072263
Gamergate is not fucking dissent.

No one is forcing anything on gamergate. If it was about an actualy boycott, where people would stop looking at sites instead of sneaking in through archives and snapshots, they could complain.

Gamergaters have plenty of choices on where to go for game reviews, with even more that have sprung up now (and are unsurprisingly shitty). The fact that they're contacting advertisers of sites they don't like and trying to hurt profit from consumers that actually VISIT AND LIKE the site make it pretty clear that it's not about dissent, its about vindictiveness.

A woman is not equal to a man in terms of societal standing. This is a generalized statement but one that rings home to many in workplaces that include labor, managerial positions, or positions of power in general

This has nothing to do with video games.

Their issues lie in global societies, not the benality of video games.

To that effect, the niche genre of videgame journalism is undershadowing a much larger issue

Corruption in all levels in journalism exist, and takes steps when one of the smaller, more insignificant branches has an issue.

This movement will never go anywhere unless you stop cutting off heads of hydras. Hit the body. Cut off its legs. Stab it in its heart until its dead.

Its not censorship, but the GG tactics and how closely they mimic SJW.SJW had a standing prior to gamergate and is able to use its power to wipe any unseenly tactics under the rug.

This "movement" needed to take as much precaution as possible, but didn't. You had dissentors that threatened the lives of SJW. You never established a power structure and continued to be disorganized. You have no movement, just a bunch of 20 somethings bickering on twitter. You had something before with the boycotts, but now you just have the blind leading the blind
>>
>>269072502
God, you are so fucking retarded. When a press outlet is not allowed to express certain opinions without fearing sabotage, their press freedom is inhibited. This is not simply a matter of drawing attention to misconduct or misrepresenting a group, but foregoing public pressure and directly attacking the press entity. Since more than one person seems to arduously defend this kind of behavior in this thread, I have to assume that yours isn't a minority opinion in the movement.

Because journos shielded themselves behind the always-successful shield of muh soggy knees.

It's almost like a caricature, where people congregate to say "hey, you're corrupt", journos say "no, you're a misogynist" and then everyone else, instead of saying "what the fuck does that has to do with you being corrupt", say "yeah, you're all a bunch of misogynerds".

It's almost surreal.
>>
>>269073035
SJWs have never done anything like this.

SJW vocally complain, I don't see how you can confuse that with angry emails to advertisers of sites you don't even read, trying to get them to shut down.

>>269072947
>The sustained attempt to remove advertisers from sites that have opinions gamergaters don't like.

This is somehow less corrupt than using your "journalistic" outlets to paint your opposition as "misogynerds" and pedophiles? Not to mention that ignoring that, you're still left with the matter of positive press coming from the exploitation of personal relationships. I think this is the crux of the whole "ethics" argument.

>>269073034
I don't think it's noteworthy. Again, what on earth makes you think I do?

That was my first reply in this chain.

Also, you seem to be under the impression that these journalistic outlets are calling you names. Lets ignore the discussion of whether or not they're actually doing that. How is shutting them down for calling you names a measured response?

Also, everything you're holding up as proof about ZQ is a pretty clear conspiracy theory.

If you want to stop clickbaiting gaming journalism you need to go and push for laws that actually make it illegal. Otherwise there's just going to be another company that will focus on clickbaiting once the major ones die from gg's efforts. It's also one of the reasons why so few people take gg seriously: To them it looks like a bunch of angry gamers that don't like gawker media articles.

I'm not under the impression that anyone is calling me names. I'm not a part of GamerGate.

Name-calling aside, that doesn't seem to be the issue here. Rather, it seems that the issue is accusations of journalistic corruption being deflected with a "you're a sexist!" shield.

Also, what makes you think the ZQ stuff is a conspiracy theory, rather than an actual one?
>>
>>269073918
Because mysoginy can be vastly found in almost anything. For example: "This cup is mysoginistic because its too heavy. I am a woman and I shouldn't have to have the muscle strength of an average man to lift this cup."

Its so easy to throw it up. It's like telling someone they're "projecting". There is very little to counter that than outright denial.

It's an argument about ethics in game journalism vs female hatred in games and the games industry,

There's a difference between getting negative attention or losing readers and someone sabotaging your company by directly pressuring sponsors.

You know, a while ago a German newspaper printed a poem critical of Israel by a nobel prize laureate for literature. The backlash was huge, and a lot of Israelis urged to censor it and pushed to declare the writer a persona non grata. Political leaders all over the world told Israel to calm their fucking tits, because TRYING TO RUIN SOMEONE FOR CRITICIZING YOU IS A CHILDISH AND STUPID OVERREACTION!

A small group of anons picked out an article that was found on /r9k/ and used it as the foundation for their crusade against a single corrupt journalist. They garnered support by posting threads in /pol/, /v/ and sometimes on /co/. For roughly ten days there was a call to arms, each thread beginning with obvious "I'm out of the loop, fill me in" styles of posting. Inflammatory videos were also common, spreading misinformation and gossip(see: IA).

Moot eventually had to put his foot down after it was apparent that someone was using 4chan as their own personal army. There was a large blowout from this, many anons claiming that moot was literally in bed with this woman and that there was a gigantic conspiracy taking place. These same anons kept trying to spread the political clickbait by making info-graphics, hijacking threads and generally trying to make the same threads without explicitly discussing the topic. They were very similar to this thread.

The 'movement' or whatever they call it is now in a state of decline. People are getting tired of talking about it, and a little bit of critical thinking will tell you that most of this shit won't matter in a few months. Corruption in vidya journalism has been a thing for literally a decade, and it will continue to exist for as long as AAA gaming exists. Shitposting won't change that.

There is a huge number of people in GG who mainly use the movement to attack something they hate. Ethics to them are a buzzword or they don't care about them at all. They just want to see essjaydubyas suffer. If this were actually about ethics, and if the movement weren't retarded, this would have happend:

>GG opts to bring attention to corruption by garnering momentum on blogs and social media
>GG let's articulate people do the talking and get in touch with different media outlets
>the parties involved in the alllegations of corruption will have to respond and react to them by declaring what they are going to do to change their conduct or get bad reactions from readers and the press

When these sites give shit reviews because of idelogical bullshit their metactitic rating suffers
For smaller devs that is very bad, because their bonuses are dependent on said metacritic rating
Most of the time these bonuses are the difference between life and death for the dev. If this goes unchecked then it'll just lead to devs shoehorning social justice bullshit to appease the retards. And if you agree with that then fucking hell I don't know what to say

When intelligent people are involved in an anonymous discussion, it's going to be much more fruitful than any real life public discussion because no one is scared of making arguments that will make you lose credit. There is a lot more namecalling, and people will rarely if ever concede that you are right about anything, but the things you read stick with you. You won't change your mind immediately after, but that is not the point of debate. You might revisit the discussion in a week and come to the conclusion that you were wrong about a lot of things.

These arguments are DERIVED from identified individuals. Such as new outlets, blogs, press releases ect. You can have free and open discussions without the fear of societal bias with anonymity, but good luck orchestating things on a grander scale.

Thats the problem with anonymous userbases with the twinge of social activism; they're all talk until they're asked to stand for something without a mask on.

Literally all of you idiots pretending this was a legitimate cause only got so "politically active" because this involved a woman who cheated on someone who happened to be from a movement a few individuals have convinced you to hate (SJW's).

You never spoke up or gave any serious shits when it was people provably taking bribes and ad money. You just let yourselves get needlessly triggered by how much cuckold fantasies hurt your feelings, and you used this whole fuck-job as an excuse to drive women out of gaming.

The last straw was that a woman was doing something men had been doing for decades. Not only had she "stolen" your hobby, she had stolen "fucking around for an advantage in the industry".

You're a bunch of dumb faggots pretending you were doing something important. Don't imagine yourselves to actual be people who care about gaming.

That post looks pretty passive aggresive, but what I can get from it is that if you post an opinion wherever, you must stand with the consequences that opinion might carry.
From you depends what kind of reaction that opinion will have. For example, if you post "I hate niggers" in Facebook while having a bunch of hood friends, or following another... er, "argument" from here, if you post a Mohammed picture where he's licking his penis and you live in Saudi Arabia, you are inciting a reaction on the people that is receiving your message.

In this case, Gawker media totally wanted a reaction from gamers. And they're getting a response.

Fine. Let me call you out on your lack of ethics.

You don't give a shit about morality or ethics or videogames until someone you dislike is doing something. You sit around rubbing your greasy dick apathetically until enough dipshits gather around to tell you how much you should hate some nigger or some cunt when the people you actually should have hated was all the other people who came before them to established that that behavior was the norm.

Notice that we didn't hear any stories about Nathan Grayson getting death-threats, despite the fact that he is the more objectionable scum-bag in the GG conspiracy; of course someone was willing to fuck for good press. That's literally their job. And yet it's HIS job to not let that sort of thing happen.

You're a pathetic little shit pretending you cared.

Journalism doesn't matter anymore, and this certainly wasn't about journalistic integrity.

Reviewers have been a joke since everyone started noticing how often sites (or fuck, magazines) had giant full-site integrated ads for piece of shit games in the same fucking space as "amazing interview with the head of fag-game! EXCLUSIVE!"

This didn't expose a lick of corruption, and assholes at Kotaku of all fucking places (my most hated site in gaming) were right when they stated shit about Zoe fucking an ugly dipshit who wrote one article about her; that shit didn't prove a fucking thing about "journalism", it just proved something about what happens when a bunch of stupid little shits spend months harassing some ugly bitch. Spoiler: She'll end up getting a lot of sympathy because it's pretty shitty to hear about a bit-player doing small scale ethical violations getting hundreds of threats a day.

If you cared about gaming and its greater relevance, you'd -stop giving a fucking shit- about reviews. Stop legitimizing such piece of shit leeching little industries by imagining that they matter enough to have ethics.

I don't understand this line of thinking. Wikileaks has been pushing it as well. I don't think most of gamergate wants to save the world and topple the highest echelons of power. I don't think they CAN, for that matter. The amount of legal bullshit necessary is absurd, and history of uncovering severe corruption at the top and taking the men and women responsible to task has proven to either end in amazing failure or succeed, only to have corruption show up again not many years later.

Of course, that can happen just as well with the games industry without a push for "actual justice" but at least if there's a significant controversy that lasts long enough we can always point back to it as a precedent as to why journalists, bullying SJWs, and "devs" should change their tactics. A kind of "don't do this shit, it helps nobody on a practical level (money loss, audience loss, image loss)".

>bring truth out of journalists

Truth about what? That an ugly boring man will fuck an ugly fucked up woman and then write about his fuck friend glowingly -one time-, still clearly emanating nasty fuck?

What greater truth did this woman provide about the industry?

This was just a fucking excuse to talk about how much you all hate "gamer grrllls". I was in the first thread where the cuckolded boyfriend (who I still empathize with and understand why he did what he did) posted shit about all of this.

All it proved was that Zoe was an asshole and someone who shouldn't be dated. It didn't prove corruption, nor did it invite the internet to go on a rampage against women who want to make games.

You faggots just tacked on that story after the fact as an excuse to have Chanology 2.0 so you could have an excuse to arm-chair protest nothing at all.

You're all worse than Zoe or Dorito's pope in terms of legitimizing shitty practices in gaming; you made sites like Kotaku of all fucking places, where "sponser ads" are hidden as normal news stories and where fat bitches complain about sex-standards in gaming one post above "hot cosplaying titties" posts, look good within the eyes of people not embittered in 4chan bullshit.

Fuck you dumb shits for ruining this hobby and board for probably the next decade while every single person who buys games is questioned as a sociopathic gender-phobic spaz.

Really now, before GG NOBODY talked about any game site that wasn't "LOL look how slow kotaku is!" or "IGN has a shitty review!" but now that some random indie bitch slept with 5 un-important guys you all think gaming journalism needs to be "SAVED!" Please, if anyone wanted to "save" journalism they would make their own site, not just bitch about how corrupt the current ones are and doing nothing beyond complaining somewhere else.

That journalists who write about games can be easily bought out

That Gawker affiliates don't do research and write based on what makes money

To one person, and then your own cause.

By getting advertisers to pull from "SJW sites", of which EVERYTHING has been labeled thanks to you faggots, your just making them less relevant.

All you stupid jews had to do was -not care about reviews by dipshit corrupt media outlets-. That's all you had to do. Instead, you cheered on people harassing 10% of the gaming population for not wanting to be insulted every time they mention they like games.

You made us look like dumb niggers, you dumb nigger.

Yeah right, by digging deeper and deeper the hole they are in. Only dumbfucks would actually trust the word of a corrupt media conglomerate that has had plenty of shady dealings, rallied internet lynch mobs, doxxed people, pulled sponsors from their enemies, asking favors to have people they don't like banned from reddit (like Julian Assange)...

All the shit they condemn they have done themselves. Pic related.

The entirety of the GG movement. The fact that you've created a battle not against the media, but against SJWs. The fact that every single day, /v/ is now 30% posts accusing about 30 women working in the industry of "being cancerous" to gaming because they're releasing shitty games about feelings.

The fact that every fucking e-celebrity that used to just be talked about on the basis of their content is now being re-assessed on wether or not they agree that SJWs should be removed from gaming (even though the earliest games we gave a shit about, like the original Wasteland, dealt with topics like sexism and gender and race all the fucking time).

The fact that a faggot like Jon-Tron, who grew up rich as fuck in Palos Verdes California and routinely shills for fucking e-book sites just to get some extra greed cash, gets herolded as an "everyman gamer" because he says some nasty shit about niggers and women tells you a lot about how little you faggots actually care about "journalistic integrity".

You're just looking for some sycophants to agree with whatever shit you want to believe in.
