Can we please just ban "censored"?
It is pretty obvious that it's not /v/ that uses it, but GamerGate. And GamerGate is BANNED on 4chan
As if it isn't bad enough that there are constant "Muh SJWS!!!!" threads, we could at least just get rid of all these pointless threads/posts
I don't go to /v/ but I'd rather we didn't censor discussion about censorship. It's not okay that Nintendo did this and they should not be allowed to forget.
OP is a SJW tumblrite. Don't listen to him.
>>444264
But there's a huge difference
It's just the whole "gaming culture" and "video games" excuse people use to make threads about Anita or Zoe or anyone else that was completely irrelevant until /v/ blew them up
This isn't creating any kind of meaningful discussion. It's just a bunch of low quality posts that the equivalent of saying nigger
"FOUND THE SJW"
"BACK TO GAWKER" (or whatever it was, had to google it)
/v/ is already bad, we could at least TRY to make it better. Although mods seem relentless to keep the shitty quality up.
At least we should be a bit more like /a/, which is also far from perfect, but a step up.
I really like Fire Emblem. But now I can't even enjoy discussing that or shitposting how bad Awakening is and name changes, because here comes the brigade of people who have never even played a Fire Emblem game, coming to complain how horrible it is to remove petting or bikinis or whatever.
10 year old memes? Perfectly fine
Removed a bikini? Worse than Hitler
>>444310
10 year old memes were never fine.
>>445096
According to /v/, it's more "fitting"
(context, Kanna , your daughter, has been living in a hyperbolic chamber her whole life. One day a group of bandits almost kill her, but her dad, aka you Kamui, come to save her. After you beat them, the time comes for you to leave. This makes Kanna burst into tears that she'll continue living alone for God knows how long time. She begs to come with you and then when you agree she responds with the following)
The treehouse translation is an appropriate kid response, but not in this situation. It makes her look like she is mentally ill
>>445124
>According to shitposters who haven't played fire emblem or understand the context of a situation whom I'm going to deem the majority of /v/ (in which at that point you shouldn't go to /v/ at all if it were really that bad) it's "fitting"
>>445124
Wait, fan translation patch? Is there an emulator for 3DS games now?
Can we please ban "Can we please ban" threads?
>>444262

>him
Every time I see people calling to mods for tighter control of what users can say on 4chan based on it being offensive (though they often pretend it's for different reasons), I assume the whiny bootlicker is female.
A disproportionate number of women love appealing to authorities, and years of being catered to and pandered to by society have left a lot of them feeling like they're entitled to have the authorities limit other people's freedom to suit them.
I imagine it's mostly women who love to cry about gamergate as well, because they can point to it as an example of how they're persecuted by mean boys on the internet, as if the internet (especially 4chan) doesn't have a long, proud tradition of flaming literally anyone who reveals some aspect of their humanity online.
>Game removes a tit slider and covers up revealing outfits on the 13 year old

People complaining about censorship are mostly just complaining that they made it harder to jack off to. Still don't see the point in removing the boob slider though.

It's a good term. Cucks are the lowest forms of life. A cuck is literally a loser to the highest degree, a wimp, a pussy, someone who can't stand something so much they have to shitpost about it and repeat the same argument over and over again.
That is why you are a westacuck. Weebs may like Japan, but they don't get upset over anything so small that it triggers them into a foaming rage like what you're doing right now.

And now fuck off to your """"""oldfags"""""" at 8ch. Is it really so hard to understand that most people want to talk about vidya without having to hear what some dumb Tumblrina says about a game? I bet you think I'm offended now, you are blinded by your arrogance.
>>445371
Why do you assume that? It isn't.
>>445860
>>445871
I've been to 8ch. exactly once, and I haven't been back. You seem well acquainted with that site though, seeing as you can identify it's users by reading a few unrelated paragraphs.
I don't like seeing people constantly throw around childish accusations like "8GAG!" when someone calls them out on trying to censor 4chan users under false pretences, but I don't call for a ban on that bullshit because I prefer occasional (and even frequent) stupidity to outright censorship. That's why I (and many others) come to 4chan instead of Reddit.
>Is it really so hard to understand that most people want to talk about vidya without having to hear what some dumb Tumblrina says about a game?
So you speak on behalf of "most people" when you say that discussion of VIDEOGAME criticism (and the integrity of relevant critics) isn't a valid topic for a VIDEOGAME forum? On which board should it be discussed? Or would you prefer that nobody ever discuss certain subjects anywhere here on YOUR website because we should all talk about what YOU want to talk about and nothing else?
Now THAT is arrogance.
>>445819
Youre attempting to convince people that anyone who talks about things you don't like is GG in order to get them banned and its pathetic.
>>445974
Maybe you aren't from 8ch, but you sure behave like one of them. Your cancerous kind was kicked out together with chanologyfags, and for a good reason.
>>445985
Not that guy, but you know you SJWs aren't fooling anyone.
You can keep crying about boogeymen like "GG" "8gag" and use buzzwords like "Chanology 2.0" "activism" "moralfags", but the crux of your issue is that you want "problematic" ideas to be removed from here.
Kill yourself already.
By the way, I'll bet that the person who made this thread is the same person who keeps spamming pastas like this:

>>445985
>you sure behave like one of them
How do you know if you haven't spent enough time there to be considered one yourself?
Movements like Chanology and Gamergate were exiled from 4chan because they called for doxxing and raids, not because they resented users being censored on here or because they expressed "problematic" opinions.
The real cancer on here nowadays is entitled women and sensitive little bitches like you who heard about 4chan through Gamergate/The Fappening and came to see what the fuss was about. Then you started crying about all the hurtful words and controversial opinions but instead of fucking off to a safe space you decided 4chan should change to accomodate your feelings. Now you spend your time on here impotently trying to police 4chan instead of contributing.
This site will never be your little echo-chamber, so stop demanding everyone caters to your expectations and fuck off to somewhere people care about your feelings.
>>445989
>Remember the part about the "if not from our circlejerk, surely from opposing circlejerk" mentality
Yeah, after 2 years of this shit, that excuse doesn't fly anymore.
Now go make another thread about how we should delete /pol/ and make every board work-safe.
>>445995
Nice projecting faggot. I know how 8gaggers behave because I like observing internet subcultures, and go to GG sites to observe them. I don't give a fuck about "problematic" opinions, in fact I go on /pol/ and would probably get bashed as a shitlord by your typical SJW, it's more about the way you behave than what you say. And yes, GG and Chanology were banned due to raid faggotry, but notice that doxxing and raiding because you think you are on a moral crusade is part of cancerous 8ch mentality.
>>445819

Complete bullshit. I'll bet you came here with the Gamergate backlash crowd pretending to be /v/ in order to run damage control on 4chan. "Hey guys can't we all just talk about videogames..? WHOA WHOA not those popular videogame critics, that's Gamergate you guys, we can't talk about that on here, remember? MODS!"
>>446005

Yes you do, in fact that's what you call the "8gag mentality" that you label any "problematic opinion" you see.
Go back to your where you came from (probably Something Awful or Reddit).

Nice buzzword faggot.
You go to GG sites to "observe" but you don't have the balls to speak your mind there? I guess you only post your honest opinions when you know people will agree with you.
Nobody ITT (or on /v/, as far as I know) is calling for raids or doxxing. That shit is already banned and nobody is saying it shouldn't be. So what you want now is a ban on a "mentality?" That appears to be what you're complaining about.
Well please tell us, what mentality should we all have in order to make 4chan a pleasant experience for Your Highness? I'm sure the mods will waste no time in banning any behaviour that you define as "the 8ch. mentality." After all, we must look to you, the expert on internet subcultures, to tell us all what is the "4chan mentality" and what isn't. How else can we know what to post on here?
Can we please ban SJWs and censorship apologists?
It is pretty obvious that it's not /v/ that does it, but SJWs and crossposters. And SJWs are rightfully DESPISED I LIKE CAPITALIZATION FOR EMPHASIS on 4chan
As if it isn't bad enough that there are constant "Muh GooberGate!" threads, we could at least just get rid of all these pointless threads/posts
>>445981
It's not a discussion
discussion about Fire Emblem? Perfectly acceptable, what the board was made for
Literally just shouting "cuck" "SJW" and whatever else isn't discussion, it's shitposting
>>446071
If people want to talk about what was censored, or censorship in games, it's fine. If people want to talk about how social politics (including SJWs) play into censorship, that's also fine.
>Literally just shouting "cuck" "SJW" and whatever else isn't discussion, it's shitposting
95% of /v/ is shitposting. And trying to say every discussion is just shouting "cuck SJW" ignores what's being said. Just ignore the threads if you don't like them.
>>446081
>If people want to talk about how social politics (including SJWs) play into censorship, that's also fine.
They could always just go to /pol/, or 8gag
/v/ - video games, not fucking /v/ - sociology
And every time it's blown out of proportion. It just destroys any kind of discussion the game was capable of producing because "HURR DURR KEKED!" even if you're playing fan translation
>>446084
Go make a thread on /pol/ about censorship in videogames and let us know how that goes. You'll be told to go to /v/. You know why? Because it's a subject relating to videogames.
I'm sorry your Fire Emblem shilling thread didn't go according to plan but 4chan's /v/ isn't the place to look for civilised and thoughtful discussion. It's not a support group or a "progressive" subreddit, it's a free-for-all, and that's what most users like about it. That's why people come to 4chan. The main thing that sets it apart from other forums is the anarchic culture and the total freedom of expression it encourages. As has been said many times before: If you don't like it, go elsewhere.
A lot of new users want to enjoy the excitement and authenticity of 4chan, but at the same time want the mods to police the community when it comes to their own personal sensibilities. More experienced users know it just doesn't work like that.
You can have a messy, sometimes disgusting forum that challenges you, or you can have a predictable hugbox that censors and bans people. You can't have the best of both worlds because even if the mods wanted to make the place nice and comfortable for you, the users that make the site worth visiting would leave as a result of the censorship required to do your bidding.
I love how SJWs use "GamerGate" to mean "anything we don't like"
>>446161
It's deliberate. That way, they can put their opponents of the defensive and try to associate "problematic" behavior.with an undesirable label.
>You don't want to be like those GamerGate people, do you??
They did the same thing with "MRA". Suddenly if you were a non-feminist man who wasn't castrated, you were now a fedora-wearing card-carrying men's rights activist for some reason.
They also did the same thing when they started posting on 4chan. They started associating the old irreverent politically incorrect mentality of 4chan with "/pol/", so if you said something offensive you were told to go to "/pol/".
>>446161
Just like how GamerGate uses SJW to mean "anything we don't like"
same coin, different side
>>446185
Keep deflecting.
>>446190
How is SJW any different than triggered/problematic/toxic?
Both are buzzwords for something you dislike, both are meaningless arguments
>>446167
It's an age old trick. Take a perfectly innocent term that might be used to describe your opponents and deliberately load it full of implications and associations in order to instantly discredit someone labeled as such. No need to defend your position reasonably, because you're being challenged by a self-confessed
"so-and-so."
Take "conspiracy theorist" for example. On the surface it's a reasonable description of someone who has theorised that a conspiracy is or was taking place. Conspiracies are widely documented, they've taken place all over the world, throughout history. Technically, the 9/11 Commission are conspiracy theorists, their conspiracy being the secret plot by Al Qaida to attack the WTC. And no conspiracy can be uncovered and exposed without someone first theorising that it exists.
Yet now, the simple act of labelling someone a "conspiracy theorist" strongly implies that they're crazy, because "conspiracy theorist" has been constantly associated with "crazy" for so long in the media. You think there's collusion between the US Government and Wall Street? That would be a conspiracy, which makes you a CONSPIRACY THEORIST, which means you must also wear a tinfoil hat and think the British royal family are interdimensional baby-eating reptilian shapeshifters, just like all the other crazy conspiracy nuts we've seen portrayed on TV.
Operation Mockingbird was a secret campaign by the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to influence media. Don't take my word for it:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Mockingbird
>After 1953, the network was overseen by CIA Director Allen Dulles, by which time Operation Mockingbird had major influence over 25 newspapers and wire agencies.
This influence of the media by the CIA is confirmed by the agency itself in declassified reports, yet still, anyone who questions the independence of the corporate media today is labeled "conspiracy theorist." Their accusations are immediately dismissed...

Traditionally, at some point, the board is exposed to one or three long well thought out posts that TLDR whatever the dick is going on into a small catch phrase or a "meme response"
At that point, literally no one ever seems to attempt to repost or bring up those solid points again, they just go "SJW" or whatever the fill in for that is today.
The boat for "SJW" is in the threads that get pruned from /v/ constantly (Sometimes they're posted in cringe or LOL threads.) For the most post /v/ has been "Fighting" (Just poking at mostly) SJWs for more than enough years that at this point, if you're coming in and going "Lol why all the >SJW shitposting?" You've missed the boat so hard that the continent you were leaving has sunk into the ocean, and you've drowned at some point.

SJW describes a group of "progressives" who subscribe to the Social Justice movement in varying degrees of extremism. "Social Justice" is not a perjorative term from the point of view of these activists. You can see from the wikipedia page for this term, the unironic use of the term "Social Justice" to describe an ostensibly legitimate political movement:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_justice
In practice, their methods range from doxxing and harassment (see: Plebcomics), direct protest (see: BLM, FEMEN), calls for censorship of opposing views (see: numerous subreddits, /qa/ threads, comments all over the web), passive aggressive Twitter campaigns (see: #shirtstorm, #gamergate, etc.), using white/male guilt to silence people (see: progressive stack), all the way into well funded propaganda campaigns (see: MTV Decoded, the White Privilege Conference) and even outright violence (see: Antifa). Not to mention the widespread dissemination of their ideology on university campuses all over the USA and Europe by way of compulsory "gender studies" and "social awareness" courses for all students.
The terms "toxic," problematic," etc. are labels applied by self-professed SJWs to anything that challenges their progressive agenda, and have been used to demonize virtually everything, from white males to heterosexuality. At the White Privilege Conference (2014, I think), there was a speaker who actually described LOGIC as racist. I wish I was joking.
The use of "SJW" as a perjorative is not "the other side of the coin from 'toxic,'" any more than "Radical Muslim" is the other side of the coin from "Infidel." You don't have to actively oppose Social Justice to be problematic. To some, you just have to be white, male, or using logic.
>>446231
>In practice, their methods range from doxxing and harassment
It's not exclusive to them, although they are better at the latter at least, don't you remember the whole shitshow about Zoe Quinn of all people? A whore slept around and a person just happened to work at fucking Kotaku of all places. And people started a whole "ethics" movement as to what was essentially a slut have movement. Nobody goes to Kotaku. People go there to laugh at Patricia Hernandez, not for video game news.
>passive aggressive Twitter campaigns
How horrible. Free speech? SHUT IT DOWN, THE GOYIM KNOW TOO MUCH
>The terms "toxic," problematic," etc. are labels applied by self-professed SJWs to anything that challenges their progressive agenda
Just like any other buzzword on 4chan like "tumblr", "reddit", "normie/alfag"
It's not that you shouldn't oppose them, it's that you shouldn't give them attention and credit for everything
We're talking about fucking Nintendo of all companies. They live in the 90s, they still think Christian values are a thing, which weirdly enough they kind of are, so it's no surprise them doing that sort of thing
And even the whole Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 "controversy" is just made up on the spot so that PlayAsia can sell more games from their dying service. "Hmmm, who buys our games...? Well this whole "GamerGate" movement seems to be pretty big right now, let's blame it on SJWs. Yeah, that'll get us clicks :D"

>It's the "We'll sell more copies by restricting copies!" meme!
Koei Tecmo never intended the game to leave Japan
why?
BECAUSE IT'S A SHITTY DATING SIM AND NOBODY WOULD BUY IT
I don't know how thirsty Xbox users are, but it just wouldn't sell. Although they could've at least localized the Vita version, but I guess since there's literally no Vitas in the west they didn't bother
Koei Tecmo said nothing, PlayAsia did, a service for importing games
Just think about it, Japanese devs or whoever don't bring most Monster Hunter games to the west, where even here they sell a million copies
Why would they bother with this?
>>446606
Here's the difference:
When Plebcomics was harassed for making anti-SJW comics, her actual employer was bombarded with porn with her name on it, and she was fired from her job.
When Zoe was "harassed," (ie. flamed on Twitter) for bribing vidya industry workers with sex, she was immediately supported by a community that showered her with money and praise for her "bravery."
The "ethics in vidya journalism" agenda of Gamergate was spat back in people's faces, as though it really could only be about hatred and bigotry. Never mind that videogames are a multi-billion dollar industry with thousands of careers depending on positive reviews. Reviews that, it turns out, are simply being sold like advertising space. Never mind that millions of gamers rely on the honesty of review websites to help them decide how to spend their limited funds.
The scandal was so potentially damning that the SJW army was enlisted to shout protestors down with their usual damage control tactic of staging a hysterical counter-protest against supposed bigotry and "white male privilege." They shut down Gamergate the same insidious way they shut down OWS.
My point is that the level of hypocrisy inherent in SocJus (ie. weaponised progressivism as a corporate defence strategy) puts them in a totally different league of shithead to anyone that might be labeled "toxic" or "problematic" or "racist" or "misogynist," in order to deflect a legit protest against real corruption into the swamp of hysterical identity politics.

>>446647
Poe's Law strikes again.
>>446633
>Why would they bother with this?
Because:
1) They localized all the previous games here before.
2) The games sold better in the US. You can see the estimated data on vgchartz, and since they were only released on Xbox (a platform that was mostly popular in the West and performed like shit in Japan), it makes sense that it sold better here. You can see the same pattern with the mainline Dead or Alive fighting game series, it sells better in the West.
3) Koei Tecmo localizes almost every one of their games, no matter how niche they are. See: http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&field-brandtextbin=Tecmo%20Koei&page=1&rh=n%3A468642
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nights_of_Azure
4) The game is already translated for the Asian version, and could be released digitally for almost no cost. There's literally no way it wouldn't be worth localizing the game in one way or another.
5) It was confirmed three times what the reason for not releasing the game here was. It had nothing to do with "getting more clicks" since the original comment that sparked the controversy was a random post by a community manager on Facebook that could've been totally ignored by the media. And Koei Tecmo even went out of their way to delete that comment, and make a PR statement saying they weren't assigning blame to anyone to avoid controversy or taking a side.

And this just shows how ignorant you are again, DOAX3 isn't on Xbox, only PS4 and Vita. It's not a dating sim game either.

They do that for countless games. Like how every Fire Emblem from 7 and onward was localized, EXCEPT for 12 since low sales.

Just what you said, the Xbox sold like shit in Japan. I don't know if it's Xbone levels of sales, but it was bad. SO NO SHIT AN AMERICAN CONSOLE FOR AMERICANS HAD A GAME SELL BETTER IN AMERICA
Meanwhile the Vita and PS4 are very popular in Japan
>3) Koei Tecmo localizes almost every one of their games, no matter how niche they are
I don't know why they aren't releasing this one here, but there's certainly other games they've released that are just as ecchi
>4) The game is already translated for the Asian version, and could be released digitally for almost no cost
Localizations cost money. The Yakuza games cost a shitload even if it's just text being translated. You have to factor in way more stuff than that. Plus you have to play licensing fees.
>) It was confirmed three times what the reason for not releasing the game here was.
1 of those is an angry female, 1 is just "not releasing", only 2nd one hints of it
And don't just blame it on "SJWs" since this mentality is very western and not limited to extremists.

It's really not that common, and there's a lot of other factors like the huge rate of piracy on DS, the fact that one of the games from FE12 was already released here on GBA that could've affected their decision.
>Meanwhile the Vita and PS4 are very popular in Japan
And the PS4 is even more popular in the US than the Xbox ever was here. That's not how a business works, they don't suddenly stop releasing in a profitable market because they can sell a bit more copies domestically.
>I don't know if it's Xbone levels of sales, but it was bad.
Of course, you don't know anything, like how you thought DOAX3 was gonna be released on Xbox, or that it was a dating sim.
The Xbox was a lot more successful than the Xbone in Japan, but it was never that big. Still, DOAX1 sold 88,230 copies in its first week of sales over there, and the game was even more successful here.
>Localizations cost money.
The game is already partly translated for the Asian release, and translating a huge story-based open world game with a ton of dialogue like Yakuza is different from translating a beach volleyball game. Although it's funny you mention Yakuza since Sony released Yakuza 5 here even if it's a niche as fuck series in the West. All your talk of licensing fees and "other factors" is irrelevant since that never stopped all the other games from being released here. You're just throwing a bunch of shit at the wall to see what sticks.
>1 is just "not releasing", only 2nd one hints of it
>And don't just blame it on "SJWs"
Read the fucking post:
>Do you know many issues happening in video game industry with regard to how to treat female in video game industry? We do not want to talk those things here. But certainly we have gone through in last year or two to come to our decision. Thank you.
It is SJWs and feminists, just like in other industries like comics.

>the fact that one of the games from FE12 was already released here on GBA
The fuck are you smoking? FE12 was a remake of FE3, a Super Famicom game. You may be right about piracy but whatever the heck you're talking about is most definitely not a factor, or a fact.
>>446757
FE3 was partly a remake of FE1.
They had already released a remake of FE1 on GBA (Shadow Dragon) which was also released in the West. I'm just speculating though, I don't know if that's one of the reasons why they didn't consider it worth releasing here.
>>446762
Shadow Dragon was on the DS, though (it was FE11). And I think was the worst selling title in the series, which brings us back to the point of poor sales being likely why they didn't try again until Awakening. Not that Shadow Dragon deserved to sell well anyway, it was pretty meh. Awakening was the change of pace the series needed.
>>446772
At least with FE, it sorts of makes sense with the large rate of piracy you had with the DS/PSP especially late in the console's life, the fact that the series sells a lot better in Japan (or used to), and that most entries traditionally were never released here.
With DOAX, you have a series that sells better here, that was always released here, on a console that is incredibly successful and doesn't have any piracy (PS4), and they actually explained the reason why which had nothing to do with sales.
>>446697
>thinks personal views will just get up and walk away after being proved right

It's this kind of delusion that leads you idiots to send everyone who doesn't conform to the progressive narrative to /pol/, as if they'll stay there after being radicalised by Stormfront.
You retards are the reason 4chan is teeming with neo-Nazis now, and you continue to shit all over the place while complaining about the smell.
Do everyone a favour and fuck off.
>>446794
Why are you complaining about GG in a thread made by a SJW to censor 4chan? Shouldn't you be complaining about SJWs shitting up the place and trying to censor everything?
Why do you keep using meaningless buzzwords like "moralfaggotry" and retarded SJW memes like "LYL ETHICS xDD" as if it means anything?
Why do you deny what your real issue with the whole thing is?
/v/ is full of shills jumping up and down to defend censorship every time, but no I'm supposed to believe the real problem is actually "GG" "flooding /v/ with unrelated shitposts".
>>446808
>Because they don't exist. It's a paranoia, a bogeyman and fear-mongerers like you can't stop finding it in every smallest thing, not unlike the real SJWs themselves trying to find sexism everywhere, even if it doesn't really exist.
So I'm supposed to believe SJWs don't exist, they're just a boogeyman that 4chan spent the last 5+ years obsessing over even though it doesn't actually exist.
But at the same time, I have to believe "GG" is an omnipresent phantom that is actually real and a threat to our existence, and we should try to chase it away, and I'm also supposedly part of it, and I "tried to get the whole 4chan with me".
Just throw in a line about "people who are against SJWs are just as bad as SJWs", and "activism", and you're golden. You people are amazing.

>>446815
/news/team here. please don't reproduce.
>>446794
No, by "being proved right" I mean the mountain of proof that demonstrated journoshills were giving positive reviews to companies that bribed them and ignoring or giving bad reviews to devs that didn't, exactly like the main gamergate activists had always said.
Follwed by the mountain of damage control that came with this corruption being exposed, that included guilty websites actually attacking their own users and the continued efforts to shut down discussion of this scandal on websites that haven't banned it. Not to mention the hysterical false flags and accusations of bigotry when all else failed.
It's not "moralfaggotry" to want games journos that lied for money to face consequences, that's self-interest if you actually want to be informed about video games by honest journalists.
The real influx of newfags blatantly came from the anti-gamergate corner. Many on /v/ supported the movement, which meant the shills had to come to 4chan to try to shut it down. If you didn't notice the sudden, giant increase in PC posting and anti-gamergate shit on /v/ overnight then you weren't paying attention. And that's the shit that never went away. Gamergate still gets brought up occasionally but all of 4chan is now infested with political activism as a result of identity politics being used as a weapon against GG on 4chan.
The PC brigade showed up in full force to teach those nasty misogynists on /v/ a lesson and their constant efforts at "tone-policing" all over 4chan created a backlash that now leads to constant derailments into /pol/ territory.
>>446829
It's video game journalism. That shit doesn't matter to anyone above the age of 12. Get some perspective.
>>446629
>>Doxxing is an exclusively 4chan thing
I didn't say that at all, but the 8gag people had to come from somewhere. They're primarily people who left 4chan due to GG and brought their traditions with them.
>>446830
I honestly didn't even know "video game journalism" was even an actual thing until all this stupid drama started.
>>446859
I disagree, they've been a huge presence for the last years and have driven off a lot of the older userbase. You probably just don't notice it. They've basically destroyed boards like /v/ in the last 2 years.
>>446830
Ah, the old "nobody cares" gambit. Dusted off the old textbook, have we? Well, maybe you don't care, and the journoshills obviously don't care (despite it being their job), but the scale of the Gamergate movement proves that quite a lot of people do, in fact, care that they've been systematically lied to and used, by people who are paid in subscriptions and advertising revenue to present them with impartial reviews.
Let's put aside the ethical implications of misrepresenting advertising as journalism, because clearly that's not an issue that needs to be addressed (aside from the legal issue of false advertising, concerning the website presenting it's content as impartial).
And let's forget that the videogame industry moved over $91 billion dollars last year, up by 9.4% from 2014. More than double the revenue of the international film industry. An estimated 50,000 people work in the industry in North America, and with their employment prospects tied to the success of their company's product, those people might care that the competition is buying up the opinions of critics and reviewers and forcing independent developers to the margins (and in some cases, out of business).
Let's instead focus on the OP of this thread, and the reason you're posting here. You entered this thread because you want to discuss the state of /v/, correct? That is the subject of the OP. But why, if you believe videogames are only of interest to 12 year olds, would you care about the state of /v/? I have to assume that you either don't go to /v/ and are posting here with a different agenda, or that you are 12 years old. Which is it?
>>446832
>I honestly didn't even know "video game journalism" was even an actual thing until all this stupid drama started.
So you have no interest in videogames whatsoever?
Then why are you posting in a thread made to discuss the videogames board?
>Can we please ban
God fuck off, you are the cancer killing this site. So many boards have gone to shit because some whiny fucks wanted "real discussion"
>>446864
>They've basically destroyed boards like /v/ in the last 2 years.
/v/ destroyed itself long before that.
>>446915
It was still somewhat worth browsing, and the board still had some redeeming value even if it had been getting worse for some time. At least you could expect some types of standards and behavior regarding certain things. Now there's just nothing there anymore.
>>446098
So what you basically said is /v/ is for shitposting correct?
>>446084
When we want to actually talk about issues, we get faggots like you shitposting the thread up and derailing it. Why are you so fucking triggered by something you can easily ignore?

That's the whole issue there. The fact that Nintendo of America just happens to be the one at fault is used as a launching pad for general console war bullshit, with the actual discussion of the censorship falling by the wayside and devolving into shit-flinging.
Until the people raising the issue divorce it from company vs. company warring that, any "board culture" nonsense to the contrary, is blatantly and flagrantly against that board's written rules, I'm not buying for a second that the outrage is legitimate.
>>447003

>>446804
Because the guy's probably an SJW himself trying to appeal to 4chan's hivemind by playing le anon of familiarity card. That's what they do - pretend they're part of some ingroup so they can frame their opinion as being popular and manipulate the faggots around them into believing the same shit. Really, anyone pissing and moaning over GG almost 2 years later has some pretty serious emotional investment in the drama, everyone else has already fucking moved on.
>>446981
If by "shitposting" you mean "comments that would get downvoted on Reddit," then yes, all of 4chan is for that.
You want to limit discussion on /v/ based not on the fact that it's off-topic or offensive, but on the fact that you're not interested in it. If you don't like what the community is talking about, maybe it's better to leave than to try and force everyone to change the subject by appealing to mods.
If you want to see comments that are respectful and thoughtful then Reddit is the place for you. I'm sure they have some very civilised videogame subreddits. I'm not even throwing out memes here, I often go to Reddit for sensible discussion, it's a good site for that. Holding /v/ (or any 4chan board) to the same standard reveals serious ignorance of how people use this site.
>>447039
Oh boy it's one of those "Reddit is for serious discussions and 4chan is for funposting" rants again.
Please just go there and stay there. This isn't your personal shitposting playground faggot.
>>447070
I don't shitpost at all, anywhere. You can see my posts have been quite reasonable. I'd prefer it if more 4chan users put a bit more thought into their posts and tried to maintain some level of quality discussion on here.
But I'm realistic about what 4chan is (and what it has become in the last couple of years) and I know where to expect rigorously moderated discussion and where to expect anarchic flame wars and memes.
It's that atmosphere of freedom that has led to some of the best moments on the internet. If you strictly enforce rules demanding civilised debate that stays on topic, the place will become dull (as Reddit often is) and the original and interesting users will go elsewhere.
It's futile to cry to the mods that your 4chan thread got dragged down into a swamp of memes and teenage angst. What do you expect the mods to do? Suddenly start doing their job because you posted on /qa/ about it? You have to take the rough with the smooth, no site is perfect and trying to improve 4chan by censoring posts you don't want to see would only lead to less originality and more boring cunts moaning about how shit everything is.
>>446871

m00t gave up and deleted /q/ when the majority of threads were complaining about the /pol/ bogeyman.
Related to /v/ (though I'm moreso from /vp/), I really think we need to temporarily put a wordfilter on "meme." People calling anyone and anything a meme is worse in magnitude than cuck was in its peak usage. I know the word meme has its actual use in everyday conversation on this website, much moreso than cuck, but it's near-impossible to have a discussion without someone seeing something they dislike and calling it a meme, especially on /vp/ where any discussion about ORAS whatsoever results in
>>liking/disliking ORAS
>when will this meme end?
at least once per thread, if not repeatedly.
We just need to curb usage of the word so that it becomes less saturated in its usage as a buzzword. I'm not sure what the filter should be if implemented, though.

Discussing the game's censorship is still discussing the game, and discussing games is why /v/ is made.

No, it's annoying as fuck because you can't talk about Fire Emblem now without the thread instantly devolving into GG bullshit.
You can't talk about Gaming culture or trends in the industry without it resorting to GG bullshit.
/v/ is constantly shitposted with GG idiots posting shit from Twitter or using thinly veiled "Censorship" threads to push a political crusade.
GG is not fucking video games, "SJWs have taken over the industry" is a stupid as fuck conspiracy theory designed to push /pol/'s shitty /x/ tier narratives, essentially everything GG spouts is proven bullshit.
Instead of discussion about how Nintendo's censoring practices in appeasement too family groups (note they also censored out Gay Marraige of Tomodachi life, think "SJWs" wanted that? How about female slider options removed from X that gave female gamers less choice) GG retards have created a new narrative that fucking Zoe and Anita now apparently control Nintendo and Nintendo only started their absurd censoring policies since TvW.
I've literally debated fucking 13 year old GG fuckheads on /v/ who think Nintendo never used to censor things and that one of the major reasons Sony was able to dominate with the playstation is that developers jumped ship due to Nintendo heavy handed censoring and tight control. No, none of that apparently never happened, Censorship is only a thing because of the "SJWs"
The biggest irony is that you GG fucks actively censor anyone who disagrees with you through raiding and harassment, I was on the 8ch boards yesturday and still saw dox being thrown around on the front page ffs.
Criticism is only allowed when it's /pol/'s viewpoint.
>>449998
>now without the thread instantly devolving into GG bullshit.
>without it resorting to GG bullshit.
What is this "GG" bullshit? Discussion of the censorship/translation?
If so, then take your ass back to NeoGAF.
Censorship discussion has nothing to do with your boogeyman movement. They're talking about how they do not like the jokes/dialogue in the game that they have been given (not even any stupid GG jokes, just general bad jokes and memes). Nothing they are discussing has any link to politics or Gamergate. I've been on /v/ 24/7 this weekend and I have seen a single thread dissolve into a GG discussion. If you want to prove me wrong, go to archive and return to me with a thread discussion political activism or GG.
It doesn't matter if they aren't discussing who wants censorship, they're still allowed to discuss censorship and the mods don't have the rights to ban people for it. If you want to ban discussion that makes your game look bad then just admit it, and I will find a nice subreddit for you to use from now on. Granted, since you went on a tangent about how the SJWs are misjudged and how Gucklegaf are evil rapists, Tumblr might be a tad bit more right for you.
Also
>actively censor anyone who disagrees with you through raiding and harassment
please look up the definition of the word "censor".

Just because certain people use a subject to shitpost, doesn't mean that subject should be banned. I could say SJWs on 4chan use censorship threads to push their pro-censorship agenda, that's what it looks like more often lately rather than some /pol/ conspiracy. You could ban any thread about consoles/PC because shitposters use it for their platform wars but it would be just as retarded.
>"SJWs have taken over the industry" is a stupid as fuck conspiracy theory designed to push /pol/'s shitty /x/ tier narratives
No it's not.
>note they also censored out Gay Marraige of Tomodachi life
They never did such a thing, they removed a glitch from the game that allowed males to become pregnant. They did it with all versions of the game with a patch. This was misinterpreted by retards as "removing gay relationships" and even after it was shown that it was a misunderstanding they still spun it as "well there still should have been gay marriage in the game even if it was never intended" and started a huge social media campaign that was even picked up by outlets like TIME magazine, etc. Probably as a result of this, Nintendo added same-sex marriage to Fire Emblem: Fates.
>female slider options removed from X that gave female gamers less choice
Just shows you how dumb the reasoning for the censorship is.
>only started their absurd censoring policies since TvW.
Show me the kind of censorship that started around the time Bravely Default came out, in old Nintendo games that were made after the ESRB was created.
>Criticism is only allowed when it's /pol/'s viewpoint.
More like criticism is only allowed if it's the SJWs' viewpoint, and even in places where dissent is allowed like on 4chan, you still try to censor opinions by begging the moderation and trying to suppress any wrongthink through shitposting.

There is literally no threads on /v/ that stick to just talking about the game because (shocker) we've talked about it already to death and there's nothing left to discuss.
This is the case with any other game thread on v. Metal gear threads devolve into retarded shit, megaman threads devolve into retarded shit, etc etc.

Listen, I absolutely agree that video game journalism is trash and that the conflict of interests involved in game reviewing needs to be exposed. However, /v/ just isn't the place for that. /v/ is supposed to be a board for discussing the GAMES, not rallying political movements.
Removing GG from /v/ was a cleanup job meant to improve the quality of the board, which it did. GG and KiA still have plenty of places to organize movements, but 4chan was never the place for that.
>>452266
This.
I'll be honest, I'm fine with them changing it, since it was retarded, but it wasn't date rape and it wasn't "medicating the gay away".
I love how complaining about censorship=GG in peoples eyes.
>>452288
The idea is to associate opposition to something (in this case, unnecessary censorship and sanitizing of media) with a group or cause that opposes your own (GG). The idea is that people will shy from opposing said thing if doing so associates them with a group that they have been told (usually by the people that group opposes) are 'bad' or otherwise undesirable to be lumped in with (usually because sjws will swarm your fucking twitter/blog/etc., dox you, and generally harass you if you show any sign of supporting GG)
Anti-GG (whether its actual nutjob SJWs posting here as part of a raid or just pissy anons who cant handle people discussing things they dont like) is fond of that shit.

Yes. I was on /v/ when GG was happening and I was fucking sick of it, it was cancerous shit, for the same reason I was sick of KSG and LOLG before /vg/ was created.
>>452313
Discussing the games industry happens all the time on /v/. Remember the threads about Kojima quitting, or the threads about Activision? And every E3 thread is about the games industry.
If you go on /v/ and start a thread calling attention to some shady shit that happened in games journalism, do you think it will get deleted? That's the difference. GG was a bunch of whiny retards carrying on about how SJWs were ruining the world. It wasn't even about what it pretended to be about anymore.
>>452314
>Yes. I was on /v/ when GG was happening
So was I, and the quality only dropped after a lot of regular users left when it was banned, and it's only been going downhill since then. Not saying one way or another whether it should have been banned, but to say the board has improved is funny. The last year has been the first time I've almost completely left /v/ since 2010.
>shady shit that happened in games journalism, do you think it will get deleted
That did get deleted, yeah, for months after it was banned because it was instantly associated with it. It's like that guy said: >>452299
Also it's relevant if the "shady shit" the journalists do is related to politics. /v/ has been talking about the subject for years prior to this, it's only after you could conveniently label it "GG" that it became some taboo subject that shouldn't be talked about.

Once they completely take over /v/ and remove anything problematic, they're gonna move on to other boards. In fact it's already started to happen.

I don't understand what gamergate is. I saw it thrown around quite a bit a year or two ago. But I never bothered to look into it. I just know tumblr whales get ass blasted over it.

But /v/ was the "trash" in question. It's just that people started calling /v/ "GG" because of the hashtag. The only trash are butthurt apologists who come here and call anything they don't like "GG".
