This is front page of a magazine
Why is this STILL not allowed to be discussed on /v/?
Go to 8gag and talk about it
I think it's funny because it's the shitty Lara
>>554613
That looks like a completely fake magazine.
bideo games
Because /v/ is shit enough as it is.
>>554613
Mods are still on damage control as they were actually associated with the people who were part of the problem of western video game media. You don't go out of your way to publicly mock the userbase you are supposed to moderate after mass censoring their opinions, only to roll back on those actions as it is essentially like admitting that you fucked up in the past.
We all know that moderation on 4chan has historically been staffed by extremely arrogant and narcissistic pieces of shit who think anons are mere tools as part of their daily lives. It's pathetic but so are those who do it for free.
>>554614

Fuck off back to IRC, scum.
>gamergate is still a thing
why am i not surprised lmao
>>554653
CIDF pls
Look, you can't have threads about Gamrgat because you keep doxxing and murdering Brianna Wu
>>554653
Anyone who thinks that the users of 4chan aren't collectively retarded is too dumb to live.
>>554653
muh censorship lol
>>554613
The worst part about the twitterwarrior kids is that now no one can critic jounralism for real wronggoings without looking like a farright fatso virgin.
>>554615
New lara is better imo. She has the fox face and a better ass. Tits are smaller but actually look like tits now.
Also she great horse porn by animpron.

>>554723
Hey now, Nixon was a pretty cool guy.
>>554685
That isn't a valid reason for censorship, you fucking mong. Keep up that damage control.
>>554692
It is by definition a form of censorship, retard.
>>554720
How fucking transparent do you have to be? Those leaked logs, like the many other leaked logs over the past decade, were real. No one is going to buy into your damage control outside of newfags who only came to 4chan because of the backlash that occurred after m00t censored discussion of gamergate on /v/ and decided to fuck around with /pol/ another time.
Back to the cloister with you, faggot.

Because most people don't want you to be allowed to discuss it, at this point. It's been how many years now? Everybody either moved on to 8ch or didn't really want to talk about it. Holdouts like you are just a loud minority, or straight up baiting.
Here's a series of videos about GamerGate, Anita Sarkezian, Zoe Quinn, and all that sleeping to the top shit you care about, presented from the other side.
By the way, Epilepsy Warning, if you are triggered by people using the phrase "trigger warning" I recommend you skip the first 0.75 seconds of each video.

Why not move to a medium where you're allowed to talk about it?
Like 8gag
Stealing a comment from a youtube video:
During Gamergate, I was in the very strange position of being good friends with both vocal feminists and vocal gamergaters, and I learned from my particular vantage point that there was an absolute shit ton of misinformation getting spread, and no one could talk on reasonable neutral ground about anything because of it. I decided to remain neutral on Gamergate, because I had streams of contradictory information coming at me from both sides, which I couldn't possibly all fact-check by myself even if I wanted to do so in my free time. I knew that a high portion of the information I was being given was misinformation, but it was hard to distinguish exactly what it was, or what exactly was the truth that was being obscured. The most valuable lesson I learned during Gamergate is that the most effective way to obscure the truth in the age of the internet is not to censor it, but to storm the public arena with tons and tons of alternative, equally plausible narratives until a casual observer has absolutely no reliable metric to judge the truth from misinformation.
>>554939
This has to be the cuckiest post I've seen on /qa/ and definitely proves SJWs post here
Because Gamergate is dead and anyone who tries to bring it up again is baiting for ebin (You) posts
>>554945
It only proves that I think you'll get upset when presented with SJW stuff, and that I want you to get upset. Try to remember where you are.
Here's another one.

Really makes you think.

Yeah, and so is this.

Stupidity is a valid justification for censorship on any website that purports to have standards.

Yeah and your mom would rather you killed yourself or moved out but here we are
Why don't we just get Hiro to way in on this and flat out say GG talk is allowed

Then go to Reddit or Tumblr and stay there

This thread is literally about gamergate.

It's easy when you have less than 3% of the posters.
>>555009
And if he says the opposite?
>>555015
>This thread is literally about gamergate.
And you proved my point that you faggots are still scared of it.
>It's easy when you have less than 3% of the posters.
That's no excuse for rampant shitposting and mods who are lazy as fuck. Same goes with all the janitors who do it for free
>>555023
I'm sorry, do I sound frightened?
>>555024
all dislike is rooted in fear

We won't know till we ask him what he thinks. I'm shocked no one asked him yet

So are you afraid of me then?

Okay? What does that have to do with anything?
>>554888
Stop being a fucking retard. Those logs are consistent with earlier leaked logs of which are also present in the logs in question, as they go back a fair way, and it is also consistent throughout for something that would take thousands of man-hours to "fake". Sorry but no one is ever going to buy into your damage control. Fuck off back to IRC.
>>554940
Because this is 4chan and /v/ is about video games, of which the content in the OP is entirely related and if it wasn't mentioning gamergate, mods wouldn't care.
>>554997
Your standards are invalid.
There is no justification for censorship of anything that does not break the rules and hate to break to it you sunshine, there are no rules which the content of the OP breaks. What makes you offended is not something anyone else here has to 1. give a shit about and 2. censor anyone wanting to discuss it in order to protect your feelings.
This is 4chan not Tumblr.
>>555078
4chan is a private website retard, its not censorship as the moderators have a right to set rules as they wish.
>>555078
>There is no justification for censorship of anything that does not break the rules
The quality of posts is very important to this community. Even at it's finest it would be deletable for the same reason you'd delete retarded e-celeb shit, and then maybe also occasionally someone (obviously entirely unrelated to 4chan) would send them pizzas.
>What makes you offended is not something anyone else here has to 1. give a shit about
What the mods want people to discuss and/or not discuss often ends up being something that people give a shit about. Incidentally, 4chan's been that way since before Turmblr existed.
>>555078
>there are no rules which the content of the OP breaks
Global rule 8 :^)
>>555067
Everyone on /v/ fucking hates Kotaku. That was a shitposter
>>555095
A rule made up by moot because he couldn't stand criticism about himself or his buddies.
>make rule banning thing
>/v/ still talks about it all the fucking time
Let the threads hit post limit and fall off the board instead of vanishing whenever a mod gets butthurt. The rule was arbitrary to begin with.
>>554613
>women game developers on the rise
And video games are getting worse. Go figure.
You know guys some of us were around before tumblr and before reddit.
We don't really care if you accuse 4channers of being like reddit or tumblr because in fact it might be true but we just don't care. You have views of 4chan like the media: the secret racist misogynist hacker underground club. But that's bullshit and you're a fag.
HTH
Gamergate creeps.
>>555166
Tumblr please leave
It's actually about ethics in white male supremacy.
>>555158
>being so mad you post the same thing in both GG threads
No one here is talking about racism or misogyny, but you brought it up, because you're fucking obsessed with it. Because you're from tumblr.
>>554613
Because 4chan isn't your little activist hub to make the world a better place, that cancer has never belonged here. Also, that is shitty clickbait and using the fact its on a mag as a reason to talk about it is a shitty excuse. We all know that if the mag was about anything else, it would never get talked about. Kill yourself 8gag cancer.
>Why is gamergate banned
Because it is and always was cancer. Tell me, which is more likely;
A) A vast conspiracy of teh ebil feminazis and SJWs to forever ruin muh vidyagaems and censor any discussion of it
B)Women were sent death threats by fucktards on the internet.
>>555305
Sure go ahead and believe the death threat thing, cause we all know that was taken way out of line and way out of context to what really happened
>>555312
You really think a vast "SJW" conspiracy is more likely than people hating others on the internet?
>way out of context to what really happened
Oh really? And what exactly was that? The movement was entirely garbage, it was all based off of hatred for a three women (one of whom is constantly harassed for being supposedly trans). Of course, moderators took action, so /pol/ did what they do best and spread misinformation about how this had nothing to do with that Zoe Quinn post by her upset boyfriend (whom I might remind you, later retracted the post).
A reactionary mob was desperate to prove that mild progressive critiques of their videogames were a threat to free speech. Nothing more happened.
>>555325
It was actually about ethics in video game journalism
>>555334
ayy lmao
>>555336
It's funny because if you made a new movement about ethics and how reviewers who are sleeping with the person they are reviewing should need to state that relationship in the article, the movement would be labeled a misogynistic GG off shoot.
People should just say what they want to say. If people attach to it then that is the most popular idea and will launch actual investigation into the works especially from those who disagree.
>>555344
>the movement would be labeled a misogynistic GG off shoot.
I'll admit, yeah, people would probably initially think it a GG off shoot to blame women. But if say, unlike GG, it had actual evidence for its claims and wasn't just a thinly veiled attempt to hate on feminists, people would quickly turn around.
>People should just say what they want to say. If people attach to it then that is the most popular idea and will launch actual investigation into the works especially from those who disagree.
Nice tautology. This doesn't change gamergate's true form
>video related
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6TrKkkVEhs
>>555344
Come on, man. I've been following Gamergate since the start, I was extremely pro-GG. Sent out emails and stuff, actively started browsing GG stuff. Thinking that I was doing "justice".
I got really fucking embarrassed when I realized why this movement was attracting everyone from Stormfront, /pol/ and /r9k/.
What a waste of time that was.
>>555358
>you're a misgoynist you just don't know it gamergate
The problem with making any judgements on gamergate is that gamergate was such a wide thing. Some individuals probably did send death threats to Anita and co, I won't deny that. However some of us really did care about ethics in journalism. You can't stick gamergate into one or the other, because it was made up of multiple people who had differing goals and means of achieving those goals.
>>555366
>Thinking that I was doing "justice".
This is exactly the reason why it's banned here. It's as simple as that.
all gamergate did was ruin video games even further and give feminazis what they wanted lol
>>555366
>Thinking that I was doing "justice".
Congrats, you figured out a reason why it was banned. 4chan isn't a place for people to do and organize 'justice'.
>>555369
There's no sense in reasoning with him anon
>>555366
I was in a war to with dwarves and elves we ran past the M'chrars vanguard and charged right at their commander. They said it was suicide but then I woke up crying as a new born babe. So if we're both going to be posting fantasy bullshit please make it believable
There are 2 GG threads on /qa/ right now.
That's the reason why nobody wants you. Because you're even too dumb to use the catalog to contain your butthurt in a single thread.
>>555392
I left GG behind because everyone (including me) acted like an oversensitive tumblr kid.
Wow, what an unbelievable fairy tale.
>>555409
>I gave up my beliefs because others didn't believe it
Your writing is grossly embelished and over simplified as if you were telling a story.
So 1. You are a woman
2. You've never held any of those beliefs

Generalsfaggotry is cancer, anon.
Just dont buy the games what pander to feminists
i dont know why this is such a hard concpet
>People must know about my troubles
How would GG have gone differently if moot had deleted /pol/?
>>555452
it started in /v/ so... if anything amplified and dumped more on /b/, /a/, and /co/
>>554613
gamergate is used as an excuse to start witchhunts and be misogynistic outside of /r9k/
while the movement may have started with good intentions, it was generally poorly informed and ended up becoming an utter mess
>>554883
Lmao
>>556303
>misogynistic
Fuck off you whiteknight mangina
>>556303
Agreed I remember when there was this "hate these guys? Here are some alternatives." Whatever happened to that healthy vibe?
I'll just leave this here:

>>556303
>misogynistic
Why do you fucking people even come to 4chan?
Have we seriously gotten this fucking infested by normalfags and nu-male scum?
>>556410
Dude this happened years ago now. It's far to late to get better at this point. Literally every board other than /r9k/ and /pol/ are completely full of normies who constantly call anything non-PC >/pol/shit and dumb things like that, but they even delve into those two places to shitpost.
It's a sunk ship, move somewhere else or be like me and learn to ignore it and forget that 4chan ever used to be anything but "Faintly Edgier reddit for the 'cool' kids xD kys /pol/ virgins."
>>555325
>it was all based off of hatred for a three women
oh boy. did people actually swallow the "these people are innocent victims of evil internet rapists" propaganda?
>>556432
/a/ isnt full of normies
>>556498
Made up words such as "normies"?
>>556410
You want to talk about real life shit on a board for video games. You are the normalfag you gargantuan faggot.
>>556499
And "nu male" which I like to think is the demonym for people who listen to nu metal
>>556410
>normalfags
I can't believe anyone in /v/ is still capable of using this term with this a straight face.
>>554613
I dont want any more Brianna Wu "is she right?" and threads like that back
>>554653
it was clear to anyone on 4chan that moot gave the lady who made depression quest temporary or even permanent moderator/janitor status
>>555305
a deaththreat on the internet is about as intimidating as someone saying kys on the internet.
Now, if they received threats over the phone or by mail then you have a real urgency because that person knows where you live.
>>556612
Just like the school shooting threats that get posted online right?
>>556609
You weren't supposed to come back to these fallen SJW boards - personally controlled by Anita - because it was so terrible. 8gag is the place for free speech™ and democracy and everything else. Go back to your utopia and let us rot in our feminism and censorship.
>>554613
This is what you fuckers did with /v/.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

You are baiting as well.
Lara Croft is fucken hot
>>555369
>B-but I really did think it was about ethics
Congrats, you're a sap for an alt-right movement. Nothing unique of course, many in GG thought it was a movement about "ethics".
>You can't stick gamergate into one or the other, because it was made up of multiple people who had differing goals and means of achieving those goals.
You can't have this both ways. Either gamergate was a cohesive movement for ethics, or it wasn't. You're just responding to my valid points by saying "well it had a bunch of people in it with different goals".
For Christs' sake, if I start a movement for police reform, and someone finds out that the group is filled with people plotting a violent revolution, I'm guilty as fuck. I can't just turn around and say "Well dude, it was complex, there were people with different goals".
And fucking hell, at least police reform is based off of a valid analysis of police brutality, the entire premise for Gamergate (Zoe Quinn slept with someone for a good review) turned out to be completely false.
Gamergate itself may not still be going on, but the bullshit from it still is.
The new thing isn't harassing of women, it's harassing people who get paid to talk about games, but who also suck at video games.
Regardless of the topic, game journalists think they're above reproach and that any and all criticism against, valid or invalid, is to be smoked out.
I have never seen a group of people who so vehemently want to quash all opinions and sentiments that they themselves do no share. It puts any sort of thing tumblr or 4chan has done to shame.
The obvious solution to me is that the rule for this should be similar to /k/ and gun control threads.
Video game politics goes exclusively to /pol/, with threads booted there by the mods.
>>555452
As someone who's been long enough to remember before /n/ was full of trains, my prediction is that /r9k/ /k/ /int/ and and possibly /v/ would have been completely wrecked during the last significant terrorist attacks/happening. Probably the Syrian war. /v/ would be even more raging and easy to trigger.
Oh, and the republican presidential candidate would probably be Jeb Bush.
It's a well known fact /qa/ is full of janitors shilling for mods, however since /qa/ has no janitors they have absolutely no authority and cant just make a post on /j/ asking any local janitors of a board they themselves aren't a janitor on to delete a certain post for them that upsets their feelings. The result of actually having to come up with a counter argument when you are just used to deleting posts and throwing out 15 minute mute/ban requests when someone disagrees with your opinion is a hilariously forced and thinly veiled "mods are always right gib janitors moar power pl0x" posts that more often that not also use the "evil 8ch/reddit boogyman that is the source of all our problems" post.
>>554720
>>554879
Why is the "banning me from an internet forum equals censorship" meme still a thing?
>>555118
