Protest. We're going to have a protest. Accusations of corruption and censorship in popular video game media have spread all over the internet, with no solution or action being taken. The only way to get the answers we want and the only way to create a productive dialogue about the massive issues in games journalism is to make our voices heard. In person. PAX is coming up at the end of the month and all the big figures of gaming will be there as part of their jobs. This page is proposing a protest against nepotism in video games journalism. WHAT YOU CAN DO If you are in the Seattle area and do not have a PAX pass Make signs and peacefully protest outside of the PAX venue, the Washington State Convention Center (at the corner of 7th Ave and Pike St.) from August 29th - September 1st. FRIDAY, AUGUST 29 TH-5 PM SATURDAY, AUGUST 30TH NOON SUNDAY, AUGUST31ST-NOON If you are going to PAX Ask members of the media and relevant devs showcasing their games questions and voice your concerns in a respectful way (let's all have a good time at an event we've been looking forward to). They care about the game industry and it is in everyone's best interest to improve games journalism. Make t-shirts or pin a sign on your cosplay expressing that you want accountability and transparency in games journalism. Since you'll be on location, you can also join the protest as you leave the venue for dinner (Friday) or lunch (Saturday and Sunday). Else Spread the news using the Twitter hashtag #gamesournalism or #kotaku or whatever other hashtag that spawns as this whole mess goes viral Why This is Important Games journalism is ignoring this because all criticism is coming online, where you can just block people, close threads and issue copyright take down requests. This can't be done in person. Furthermore, real journalism outlets (like the local news) will take note of this crisis and will be sure to report a protest at a video game convention, which will inevitably spread across the media. Having the real media confront game journalists is the best way to point out the glaring differences in ethical standards. This juxtaposition is what we need to truly see the difference in professional conduct To be clear this is about creating a set of standards for games journalism. Video games is a multibillion dollar industry and it is imperative that its consumers are able to trust the journalism that reports on it. However this reporter-audience relationship comes into question when journalists and the subjects of their writing are mingling closely at industry events or are not upfront about their connections We need relationships disclosed. We need a code of conduct. We need integrity and transparency in games reporting and advertising. You know, like real journalism in virtually any other field. Any efforts to get this story out online has been squashed and censored. This is because the very outlets we expect to provide news of this level are directly involved and implicated.

zoë “lycan subscribe" quinn O @UnburntWitch - 1h Since I'm getting a lot of emails about this: no, l've got nothing to do with That TV show. I learned about its existence at the same time as the rest of you. No, I was not asked, consulted etc. and if I had been asked, I wouldn't have been ok with it. That's all. 5 17 42 408 zoë “lycan subscribe" quinn O @UnburntWitch · 1h I continue to reject any oversimplification of GamerGate that leaves out its roots in white supremacy, domestic violence, and the pre-existing societal issues it capitalized in favor of a more convenient and inaccurate narrative about it being solely about women in games. t7 78 5 510 @UnburntWitch - 57m zoë “lycan subscribe" quinn If I am portrayed in it, it's without my involvement or any input on my end, and is happening without my consent. If I'm written out of it, well. I'm not so sure how you can present it as an “honest" story. But that's really not my problem, either. 27 10 204 zoë “lycan subscribe" quinn ... @UnburntWitch I don't want to do any interviews on this, I don't want to give any other statements aside from this. It's bad enough having all of this pop up again without any warning or regard for how I might feel about it, so l'd like to just try and ignore it. Thank you for understanding.

zoë "lycan subscribe" quinn O @UnburntWitch I haven't stopped screaming this for the last seven years because the scarlet letter on me hasn't come off, the harassment hasn't stopped, and people still refuse to learn a god damned thing about what happened to me (and others). Ignoring history enables the repetition of it. * Margaret Sullivan O @Sulliview 7h The AP's treatment of 22-year-old journalist Emily Wilder shows how much newsroom managers still have to learn about bad-faith attacks and online harassment of their staffers, seven years after Gamergate should have taught them.

If Quinn (and the others) carries on in real life like she does online, I suspect her to hire some thugs to make it seem the protest was meant to be violent, or do whatever else to frame the protestors.

damn, that's actually a legit point now that you mention it. Maybe the organizers should have some kind vetting process for volunteers and give out armbands/badges/something at the protest to make sure nothing fishy goes on
