Why is this so triggering to the rest of 4chan?
Also, holy shit at the heavily biased wikipedia entry about it.
1.Moot got pussy from a gawker employee
2. It basically flooded the VG Board,
When it comes to the wiki site it is because of prestige. Early some admin got fired over it and the current editors that are allowed to rewrite is friends with them, They hate GG
>>69161118
I could understand back then, but bring it on /v/ now and everyone starts going apeshit.
>>69161324
Many of THEM because They do not want the shitstorm, there is no way a debate about gamergate can be neutral
>>69161324
I kinda want to try this out now.
>>69161324
Tumblr and Reddit took over /v/
Because most of 4chan is full of leftists
>>69161636
Well, there CAN be a neutral discussion, but it's incredibly difficult given the nature of /v/.
I wonder how much of it, if at all, has to do with the chanology vibe GG puts off, and ./v. hating that whole thing so much.
>>69161685
Enjoy your ban, I guess.

If you're talking about Mallory, he was Luggage Lad. She didn't put out for him. She was involved and arrogantly stalked/harassed Moot to write her thesis on him. Moot, being pussy-starved and a lonely 4chan faggot himself, gave it all up for free and got nothing back.
Let me help get it archived, check the gamer gate cucks on 8 chan thats right 8 chan
>>69161747

Gamer gate is a new low in sub-fox culture wars bullshit moral crusades that the right go on every now and then. It's only truly distinguishing feature compared to previous moral outrages and reactionary outbursts is the young, internet saturated, demographic it appeals to and the corresponding levels of angst present in the movement's output.
The stuff about Depression Quest and the way in which arty, superficially pro-feminist games get systematically good reviews on minor games review websites was actually a half interesting little episiode, all tied up in how the industry wants to expand towards women and casual gamers, so review websites have an incentive to look close to progessive female game devs, who of course utilise this to their professional advantage. Instead though, the whole thing dooms itself from the start by getting taken in by the most archetype "beta" whinging - in the form of that long break up letter, an act of such staggering narcissism that it deserves to be considered a performance art masterpiece, and from them on became an anti-feminist, MRA self-pity group, where every self publicising right wing conman and snake oil salesman could ride the hype train. At this point it seems in decline to me - it's a few depressing subreddit and chan boards whinging about women rather than the front lines of the culture wars, but it's been an interesting little precursor of things to come.

Some slut fucked a 'gaming journalist' for a good review of her text adventure.
Her boyfriend named 5 other people she fucked while they were together.
Suddenly 'gaming media' all release similar articles denouncing gamers, aka their readerbase.
Revealed there is some special games journo pros mailing list most of the journo outlets shared info on and arranged narratives.
People won't stop talking about the occurance and how corrupt games journalism is.
By trying to ban people that want to spam about the event, moot Streisanded it. All gaming forums start banning people for talking about it. The women involved start claiming they were victims of death threats for shekels.
All this for about 4 months straight. You'll hear it was about gamers hating women and other tired feminist shit, but really the whole thing was about how there was a secret collaboration council among gaming journalists, and how the journalists were selling good reviews for pussy.
>>69165046

>But that doesn't sound like a scandal to me
It's not - a lot of these ultra neckbear video game activists have charmingly naive views about what journalists actually are. For example, imagine if in motoring or sports journalism, there was a massive scandal because "Woman fucks journalist for good review!" I mean no-one who actually understands the world would give a fuck, right?
To the gamer gate crew not only did this constitute a grave violation of Ethics (not to mention other assorted moral and constitutional rights) but confirmed the deepest suspcions of every r9k basement dwelling alt-right serial anime masturbator - that there was a conspiracy against them, involving people having sex with each other, involved in the shady SJW-driven world of online games journalism. Whilst Mr GamerGate lives in the white suburbs, is NEET or in dead end work, mid-20's, socially awkward, unsuccessful around women and so on, these people represent a cosmopolitical, even bohemian, urban, graduate, and upwardly mobile social class, sneering at the leftovers who flip burgers back in their home state. The subsequent anger expressed over such a small and ultimately unimportant series of event is down to the fact it tapped into an undercurrent of adolescent libidinal rage, something which may be of interest, despite the fact it was trigger (ho ho) by such a trivial affair as Depression Quest's online reviews.
>>69160517
The biggest reason is that 4chan is fucking sick of moral crusades and that's a large reason for why /pol/ is so hated by other boards. Obnoxious conviction of your own moral standards annoys most people, in fact. I'm not a huge fan of a lot of /pol/ posters either for this reason, but I go here as a source of news.
Aside from that it was an absolute cancer on 4chan for a long while, because you couldn't discuss ANY topic without someone bringing up GG and starting a shitstorm. The threads were up 24/7, multiple at a time in fact, and when the mods and moot had enough of it the posters went into a butthurt frenzy and spammed every fucking board with a shitty ">for free" meme. Even worse, they obnoxiously claimed there was going to be a great 4chan exodus to memechan and they're still there being elitist about their choice of chan despite that site using multiple tracking javascripts and hidden flash elements.

>>69165637
I think it's bigger than that.
Games journalism is one of the only places where you can openly attack the people who read your stuff or where the writers can put themselves up on a moral pedestal and claim their view is the only "right" view.
I have never seen a more self-righteous group of people in my life and they're the ones that dictate what is allowed or not allowed in the industry. They're the ones that decided what I can and cannot play because devs listen to them over the people who actually care about games.
They've become the arbiters of taste and morality and that's bad because their views on things like games are very narrow and ultimately ill-suited.
Frankly, I'm tired of being talked down to because I don't find Lara Croft problematic or because I don't think tits in video games isn't the biggest threat in the world.
I'm tired of the moral police trying to dictate what I can and cannot enjoy, even if it ultimately doesn't affect much at all.
>>69160517
It imported a shit ton of redditors.
It gave new life to faux redpills creating a massive movement of nu males that conceded nearly every progressive talking point but still claimed they were "anti sjw"
It gave new life to the progressive movement at the same time by providing them with a bogey man
It achieved none of its goals and acted smug about it.
>>69166149
>then it got taken over by autists and retards like adam baldwin who made it about "muh ethics"
No it got taken over by hacks, political entrepeneurs, con men and snake oil salesmen. Whatever minor issue there was with games review websites and the incestuous little professional fucking micro-politics circles was totally overshadowed the moment people like Alex Jones and Milo jumped on it.
Of course once they flogged that horse to death they moved on to something new, like the plague of locusts they are, and the hollow carcass of Gamer Gate is still being picked over by remnants and sympathetic losers who got caught up in it all.
>>69166501
This! And thats why the focused so hard on the sexism aspect, if GG had got a bigger momentum the power They had would be lost. Devs would notice that gamers hated the journos

Holy shit, did GG rape your mom or something
>>69165637
Do you even know why it's called 'Gamergate?' It's because basically the entire gaming press posted coordinated articles telling gamers to go fuck themselves - THAT'S the scandal, not Zoe Quinn's being an empowered modern woman by cheating on her boyfriend to promote her 'game'
Imagine if ESPN and the rest of the sports networks started 24 hour coverage of how awful and gross and misogynistic sports fans are to distract from some minor ethics scandal, that's more comparable to what happened
Would sports fans sit and let themselves be lectured and insulted by a blatantly corrupt media that hates them? Nah, they would probably actually riot instead of starting a fucking hashtag
It just showed how the MSM propaganda media machine was terrified of a single group of sweating autists calling them out on being manipulators, liars and shills.
The size of the hammer that came down on gaybor gatoraders is a really good redpill. It was a unified narrative being dictated from a single source, and anybody who questioned it was a woman-hating bigot nazi who masturbates to anime and is a Trump voter ewww i don't even

This is true in so many other industries and furthermore journalists in every sector co-ordinate the tone and substance of their output with one another.
All these journalists, games journalists and regular ones, depend on advertising revenue to stay afloat. In this instance the advertisers and the industry-at-large has been working very hard to broaden out the appeal of gaming to include women, the games websites (who basically work for the industry anyway and rely on it's advertising money to get paid) are fully on board with this, so they always try and review nice edgy feministy style games favourably, even if they're shit.
When you see them circling the wagons, trying to work as an industry, dare I say it even as a class, trying to get a PR line out and shut down discussion of gamer gate, it's because all of them have a shared economic interest in continuing to broaden the appeal of the gaming industry to women, and so they have to work together to marginalise gamergate, which posed a small but managable threat to this direction of travel. There's actual big money at stake in this, major corporations are heavily invested and they see broadening games appeal out as the surefire way to get a return on their massive investments.
Uh oh the radiation, chemo , and surgery didn't work. The malignant gamer gate tumor is regrowing and spreading. Shut it down , shut it down before it's too late and a whole crop of new fags are contaminated.
>>69160517
Because GamerGate supports shitposted about it non-stop on every board, and then when their shit got deleted they pretended it was censorship while in reality they were breaking global rule #4 more often than not, and board rule #1 every time.
Media rules all is the moral of the whole story. Hernie voters are painted under the same brush, so now Hawaii is a white state. The shitty and highly obvious tactics used would be like me saying; If you disagree with this post you are a straight white male, and as such don't have a voice.
Can't wait for this to all culminate in a Trump presidency tbqh, leftists are completely suicidal.

Aside from the Tumblr and Reddit infestation of /v/, there's also the tryhard newfags that think mentioning gg will summon more hoards of new redditors, like it's a literal curse or something, along with the >muh sekrit club fags that think the same thing. And then there's the typical contrarians that think that gg must be bad because it's popular.
>>69160517
Most of /pol/ and 4chan in general worships women. I've never seen men hated and women more defended on any other site besides this one. When people see anything remotely critical of women, they go insane on this website.
It was the line in the sand that separated SJWs from White men on /v/. Some people got a little too self righteous with it, though.
>>69168455
Even the Blizzard forums are mad about that shit.
And it's still kept up on there.
Leddit is even forming a petition to have it changed.

Goddamn this part of your post made me sad as fuck... because it's true and, unfortunately, necessary.
>>69164476
>But that doesn't sound like a scandal to me
It wasn't really, people joked about it for a while when it happened but nothing big would have come of it if it had just been left alone. The gist of it was some whore had been fucking an editor of some gaming rag for glowing reviews of a shit game.
Then the entire gaming media, with a few exceptions, shat their pants and started screaming about misogyny and various other garbage, roundly shitting on gamers in general. Contrast this shit to the Kane & Lynch scandal a decade before, where the entire media bagged on that one site that fired a guy for giving a bad game a bad review. So of course people started digging into it and found out the various "journalists" basically coordinate what the stance is going to be on any given subject, and that they'd been blacklisting people, giving their dev friends shit favorable reviews, rigging contests that people paid to be in etc. etc.
Then these media dipshits would get offended someone found them out, post more rants, people would turn over more stones and find more shit, and so the cycle went on for almost two years. It was further fuelled by various SJWs (since the gaming media has had a heavy progressive slant for the last decade) doing dumb shit to suppress it, from banning it off forums to calling in bomb threats at meetups.
Ultimately most of the sites caved and started posting notices about conflicts of interest and everyone lost interest except the most diehard five percent or so, who more or less morphed into a general watchdog group. None of that registered to the various insane catladies, who still use gamergate as the ultimate internet bogeyman. I think I saw someone blame them for that one canadian guy getting off the hook for rape the other day.
>>69168864
>Men respect fake virtual waifus more than actual women because of people like this

originally it was about trying to instate some ethics into muh games reviews but it just turned into shitposting about what a whore she was.

It was based around some sob story about some beta supposedly getting cheated on by his girlfriend to get good reviews from 'journalists' people probably shouldn't be listening to in the first place.
If it simply started out as being about transparent and fair gaming journalism instead of "wah some woman might be using her pussy as leverage wah" followed by obnoxious harassment and death threats maybe it wouldn't have gotten clamped down. Having said that I'm not for censorship and moot should have stood his ground and let it fizzle out on its own, but still... fuck GG for the retarded shit storm it brought on.

Moot suppressed dissemination of critical information regarding the event. Bluepills (non /v/ and /pol/ natives) sided with Moot and his Gawker escort and drank the cool aid thinking "da ebil white man" is trying to keep girls out vidya. Thirsty fucks is what lead to the creation of infinitychan (cant be named here from Moots butthurt)

>When you see them circling the wagons, trying to work as an industry, dare I say it even as a class, trying to get a PR line out and shut down discussion of gamer gate, it's because all of them have a shared economic interest in continuing to broaden the appeal of the gaming industry to women, and so they have to work together to marginalise gamergate, which posed a small but managable threat to this direction of travel. There's actual big money at stake in this, major corporations are heavily invested and they see broadening games appeal out as the surefire way to get a return on their massive investments.
The "Gamers are dead" stuff is a PR line, a narrative they are constructing because they don't want this huge multi-billion dollar industry to be restricted to lonely single men.
Once you realise the highest ethics the journalism industry aspires to is "please the vengeful advertisers, for they are your god" it's not conspiratorial at all, just bog standard capitalism.

Historically speaking, 4chan has hated activist events because they draw in large traffic. Board culture is sustained by a board's given population, an influx of newfags damages it every time.
If you're wondering why /v/ hates it so much, it's because shitposters fed off the people taking it seriously so when you imply you agree with it they will start acting like tumblrites to get a rise out of you.

Back on ye olde /v/ there were all kinds of generals, much like our own syria general, trump general, or brit/pol/, only on /v/ they were half the board. /v/irgins are an irritable lot and would get really pissy about generals cluttering the board and shitpost the fuck out of them, in turn pissing of the general posters, so moot made a new board for generals. /vg/ is designed specifically for generals, so threads have very high bump and post limits.

Look at the "sources" and the pages of discussion. Breitbart was not a reliable source for the admins (thanks to a rigged vote that should be re-done and changed), but Kotaku (Gawker media), that was one of the proved centers of corruption, and other articles full of blatant and proved lies were apparently fine, for them. Someone of them got banned, like this piece of shit here. But then Jimbo got mad that people were insulting Wikipedia (or drank the kool-aid, whatever), and a lot of them are still there.

Then explain why it all happened within 24 hours of the GDC mailing list ordering them to write the articles in the exact same style, if it was as you claim "just a coincidence" that literally dozens of individual websites did the same thing at the same time.
If it was a collection of individuals doing things for their best self interest you'd have seen some of them deviating from what the was GDC ordered them to do. GDC mailing list even asked for information on anyone not following the prescribed narrative. The only mention of advertisers was in the exact opposite that you claim, in that they should be ignored for as long as possible because what the journalists were trying to achieve was "the right thing".

In theory:
/vg/ is for general discussion about a game
/v/ is for anything video related, even vaguely such ass 'who has the best ass in video games?"
In practice
/vg/: who has the best ass in x game
/v/ who has the best ass in video games
started out as a joke on /v/ and like all things on /v/, reddit got wind of it. They start some retarded ass chanology-esque crusade over a bunch of neon haired tumblrites circlejerking each other on their clickbait sites. Unfortunately instead of telling them to 'fuck off', the SJW crowd went professional victim mode because nothing generates ad revenue like controversy about white males hurting the fee-fees and special "journalism" snowflakes.

What actually happened is moot was away getting cucked or trying to cuck some jewish boxxy girl and came back to the fappening and activism.
No one remembered the moot also banned Chanology, even I forgot about that because I think I left /b/ around that time.
moot basically said "no activism" but never changed the rule it broke to specifically say that, but it had been a thing since chanology.
No one remembers that there was a chan of the name triple eight that was made to continue chanology after it was kicked off, much like the single eight one that was utilized in GG.
>>69177782
>Not Your Shield movement which completely eviscerated the progressive clique'
A handful of women in an overwhelmingly anti-women movement being used as tokenist shield's to pre-emptively deflect accusations of misogyny.
They were quite right to ban discussion of gamergate on here and on reddit - it was a really weak excuse for a cultural crusade, it had no substantial political content beyond virginal angst and vague hatred of women who play games, and the Ethics in Game Journalism stuff was, in hindsight, fucking hilarious.

Bullshit. All the women gamers hated this crap as much as the men, deal with it. The only ones ranting were the ones paid for it. It's not "just capitalism" because you don't shit on your audience if that's already open to everyone and is always growing, and that was the case with videogames.

>>69164748
Gamergate was more about preserving traditional gaming culture that was being taking over by professionalism and the current zeitgeist, ergo the talentless SJW/feminism shit and the crap that goes along with it.
But once it was there the other bits were just too juicy to be ignored.
Gamergate was more like the current culture of western nations by itself in a longstretch.

Why the fuck would the video games industry want to do that?
The video game industry exists to make money for it's investors. If your "traditional gaming culture" is harming their expansion then good riddance.
This is what all the Gamers are Dead articles were about - this is an industry which will become the largest entertainment medium in the world before long, they aren't interested in pandering to the adolescent fixations or the cultural expectations of self-identified fucking Gamers, that's something that keeps Gaming a niche and prevents them from getting the sort of return on their investment they're wanting.
If you can't see this then you're a fucking idiot. And fuck anyone who sincerely identifies as a "gamer" and makes playing video games an indispensible part of their cultural identity, you deserve everything you get (see also Stoners, Juggaloes, any other sort of pathetic sub-culture of that sort)
>>69160517

Really it's been pretty fun just following it casually. All the media stuff is great like that episode of Law and Order or The Internet Ruined My Life. And the articles, crazy stuff about how gamergate is behind the rise of meme candidate Donald Trump or how gamergate will colonize mars before progressives and that the first woman to live in space has already been raped.
I don't think they really accomplished much. Some little superficial things here and there, raising awareness of cool sites like christ centered gamer, amplifying shitty indie devs as they break down over their failed games, and people getting fired. The only real accomplishment is getting tons of people to recognize sjws, the regressive left, and how shitty the media really is.

Yeah it was, which was only logical to assume to a certain extend.
Gaming is culture, gaming transmits ideas in a playful way, gaming is like growing up today and it isnt done by traditional toys disconnected to the internet or on a single remote computer. Today gaming is about being connected and in that way you come in touch with the internet. Infiltrate gaming, infiltrate young impressionable minds, infiltrate cultre.
Control the youth and control the adults they become. If the goyim/retards become too upitty you need other goyim/retards to keep them in check. Now you just need some knowledge, imagination and the money, apparatus to carry it out.

tl;dr, guys got sick of seeing the increase of forced women in gaming and forced SJW narratives in gaming, this happened long before Gamergate happened. Gamergate just was a tipping point. Bioware was a major offender, this all coincided with what people perceived as an increasing casualization of videogames to reach out to the SJW/female market.
Gamers wanted great adventure games, not transexual/gay plotlines and allegories to civil rights morality, endless speech/text and terrible plotlines were a byproduct.
This is why partly The Witcher was so popular on /v/, it wasn't just a good game but the studio was Polish and it gave no fucks.
You could see the changes, the shift to meeting women's sensitive feelings. Games like Duke Nukem will never be made again, it was vulgar but undoubtedly fun.

To better explain what he's going on about. Basically you have vidya, you have faggots who play vidya. The internet leads to communities forming to discuss vidya, this is vidya culture.
Then the big bang theory comes out.
BAZINGA BAZINGA ZIMBAWE!
All of a sudden San Fransisco faggots with old timey mustaches, pink hair and problem glasses think videogames are the hippest shit.
These faggots become a satire of what people who play videogames actually like. They nostalgia over shit they didn't player, obsess over eight bit. Videogames become a fashion statement, being an indie developer with a papst blue ribbon always in hand became the fashion.
These people became "the face of videogames" and started being hired by click bait websites (many owned by Gawker) to blog about videogames, but mainly to bitch about their political agenda.
To them, games are a style and art, so they need to have political meaning. This becomes their staple discussion for games, more feminism, more left opinions, more half assed attempts at depth.
Game companies start unironically listening to these faggots and so the free market shifts into a suicidal direction and fucks with the people who enjoy videogames as a product.

Gamergate started out as exposing games journalist as being corrupt and retarded, then it turned out that the reason they had so much power and funding in the first place was because they were paid shills for socialist thinktanks trying to subvert gaming culture and push it towards being more accepting of leftist rhetoric.
The second stage of their plan was to standardize gaming and use it as a political tool in public education through common core. By normalizing political views in mainstream videogaming culture, it would then make it more palatable in educational gaming.
Gamergate had absolutely nothing to do with internet activism or muh soggy knees. It was a literal conspiracy that was publicly exposed and then successfully suppressed.
>>69174261
Too bad that the reason GamerGate worked and works so well against them is that they try to fuck all the time with the games you are supposed to want to play with.

>>69182227
found the casual.
here's what happened with gamergate. it was good, the claim that it took gaming too seriously was cuck nonsense because if they can't even fix gaming corruption an attempt at anything else would be a joke. Then it became less about game media and reviewers and more about SJWs (which a bulk of gaming media was composed of) and then it got infested with autistics who treated it like some form of identity and community, then youtubers started to make money by covering "gamergate stories" and then the real world media adopted it and sided with the SJWs. Now only a few hardcore autists care about it.
The movement is hated because it brought more reddit and tumblr to chans. And it's cancer because the community is autistic and pervasive akin to bronies, sonicfags and other furry derivatives.

The whole mess started when Incompetent shills jeopardize their free government money gravy train by being irresponsible/corrupt/scumbags. 1 girl had sex with 5 guys and her 'real' boyfriend bitched about it online. Internet detectives started researching her as a joke then started connecting a lot of dots. Journalists and other members of the community turned out to all be chummy chums with vast interconnected socialnetwork, constantly jobbing for each other while pretending to be independent or part of competing groups. Internet detectives dig deeper and start finding connections to government thinktanks and the like.

And ever since then there's been a watchdog remnant being an active thorn in their sides and cheering every blow to them, maintaining the corrupt journo database and other wikis.

Indie game "developer" is boyfriends with some guy. He breaks up with her and writes a novel detailing what a manipulative, insane, emotionally abusive turbo cunt she is to warn others to back away from her. /v/ figures out that she's referring to certain game journalists, most notably one who ahd done positive press for her game leading to the assumption that she was fucking him for good reviews (she wasn't but probably was for coverage; she was also sleeping with her boss at one point so fucking guys for privileges isn't above her).
Vidya journalism is infested with leftists, trannies, feminists and nu-males who promptly flipped out and started pushing a narrative of "SHE WAS HARASSING HIM" and shit. This led to constant self-attacks to try and prove they were being harassed. Lots of self-victimization which brought people like Brianna Wu to prominence. In the end, SJWs are continuing to get their ways in gaming because they hold all kinds of key positions both in the media and industry proper but it was probably the first real salvo in the current anti-social justice cultural wars that will define the next few years and lead to the death of leftism.
