Wow there's a lot of happening today! I'm gonna put a dump here and then do a repost with a more detail as to why it should be there because of how it pertains to GG as it continues to go:

Genna Bain posted a screenshot of a whisper campaign by games writers (Leigh Alexander, Mark Serrels, Katherine Cross) and indie game developers (Rami Ismail) to discredit TotalBiscuit (Brain Bain and Genna's Husband) as a "harasser" and "villain", calling him a "bad videogame critic" Link

Kim Crawley (SJW moron fired from Infosec for incompetence, blamed GG for it) admits to breaking the law in order to silence political ideology that she dislikes. Link

Female gamers need more legal protection in regards to sexual harassment (sarcasm Because being a woman automatically makes you more prone to harassment sarcasm) Link

Darksouls III is now a hate group Link

The Mirror reports: Nintendo urged to FIRE feminist employee at centre of furious child pornography censorship row Link

Oh and Bravely Second was edited for more than just costumes. According to one gamer the "bad endings" were swapped out in the English version so you always get the "good ending" Link

(Couldn't archive the last link because the explanation is behind a Spoilers button.)

TotalBiscuit: These fuckers are shit, if anyone wants to question why we fight just take a look at that.

P.S. His name is John Bain, although he does have a rather large brain (IQ 160).

Kim Crawley: Being fair the specific article that she blew her last chance on was a lazy AntiGamer hit-piece.
So we got some ethics there.

Sexual harassment: SJWs demanding a legal system where genitals trump facts, totaltarins all of them.
Also, "the author is an advertising freshman from Austin." Does she know she's an ad?

Darksouls III: Ha!

Ha! Ha!

Nintendo child porn scandal:

Jamie Walton, president and co-founder of an anti-sex trafficking non-profit called The Wayne Foundation, also addressed a tweet to the firm's American branch and wrote: "Better fire Alison Rapp before Monday or there is going to be reckoning."

Why would she say "Monday"?…
Oh, oh God is that good.

Bravely Second: It's just localization you guys! So what if they cut out half the endings! It's so much funner & better written with those boring bad endings cut out! Don't be entitled and throw a tantrum! Don't you know Nintendo is working so very hard for you!

Was the one who admitted to braking the law reported to the authorities yet?

I can't remember why I thought his name was Brian. (or Brain. Guess I was stuck in alliteration land.)

As for Bravely Second? Remember it's SquareEnix!

Very interesting.

Do you have the original link to the post talking about the misogynist Dark Souls streamers, not just an image?

Also, I think if Nintendo does fire that woman for her views on child pornography, it's obviously just to avoid bad pr, regardless of their actual views on the matter.

According to the r/kotakuinaction thread I got it from, it's from GameFAQ's, More info about the user talking about what appears to be a flag that it could be a hoax

Sadly It appears the 10 page thread was pulled before it was fully archived.

Edit so I don't doublepost:

Whoo! We can talk about Rapp in the comments section now! Link

Refarding Rapp. I am glad for the development. I stand against the censorship of lolicon, the fictional depiction, but mixing it with the real thing is something that should never be done, and the real thing is a topic we must have a serious debate about before deciding, meanwhile better outlaw it.

Seriously, she deserves that for being a hipocrite. Seriously, if it was someone who was not such a hipocrite maybe people would even care less.

I can't wait for her smugness to fall apart when she gets backlash for this.

She's working for Nintendo, they've spent 30 years building a reputation as a child-friendly company. They're not going to burn that for some arrogant SJW with sympathy for child molesters and a gender studies degree.

It's already gotten to the British tabloids and the The Wayne Foundation involved. Kevin Smith isn't going to jump under a bus for this retard. And the co-founder has a lot of experience dealing with Brianna Wu.

Rapp's career is already dead and she doesn't even realize it.

You can't report her to the police on the grounds that she lied about breaking the law in order to make herself feel powerful and relevant.

Her husband is not RCMP and its unlikely that any events she's talked about have happened. It's like Zoe Quinn's stabbing people to death. No it didn't happen. Are they stupid and arrogant people for daring to pretend that they're cool or edgy for doing this? Yes indeed they are. But we can do nothing about that aside from simply ignoring them.

Hulk Hogan sports formal bandana as trial vs. Gawker gets underway

OH BROTHER WAHT YUH GONNA DUH? WHEN HULKMANIA RUNS WILD IN THE CRONGRESS AND DESTROYS CLICKBEITCH JOURNALIZM!!!

Brother, tell Gawker to eat their vitamins and say their prayers.

'Brotherrr' comments incoming en masse.

I do think she's correct on one thing though. I don't think loli hentai counts as cp, as some people seem to believe.

Yeah, those people really don't think things through.

Child porn busters are specialized & highly trained law enforcement officers and tracking down the pedo gangs costs a lot of money. So what happens when those highly trained cops & expensive budgets are reassigned to snooping around manga shops to make sure the fictional characters are wearing enough fictional clothes for their fictional age?

What happens is those pedo gangs & kiddie diddlers stay active for longer then they would if the cops spend all their time tracking the sick fucks down.

So all those people screaming "Think of the children! Ban loli!" are going to end up harming kids if they get their way.

Now advocating for the legalization of actual, "kids molested on camera" child porn? That's horrible, it's also going to lead to more kids being raped and more sick fucks getting away.

And given how a lot of SJWs are pushing that "it's just teenage edgelordery" garbage when dealing with real child porn while simultaneously trying to shame & criminalize loli (e.g. SRS, Ghazi) I wonder if that's the point. Between muddying the waters with "but loli!" and attempting to hijack LGBT rights to justify kiddie diddling (NAMBLA's been trying that since the 70s) it's like they're trying to cover for child molesters.

I know if I wanted to cover-up a bunch of Nybergs that's what I'd do.

@MexPirateRed

Looking at the track records of these people, creating a society where they can rape children as much as they like may very well be their ultimate goal

Your statement is quite a based one. Indeed, banning loli would prove detrimental to the end of child sexual abuse, and a legalize all stance is also detrimental. I belive there must be a debate regarding underage sexuality because well, I think sending a 14 year old to jail for child porn production and distribution because the minor sent a nude to it's love interest is stupid, and certainly unfair. But something is true, someone who forcefully has sex with a minor and records it deserves something worse than death, not even for recording it but for the forced sex. We need a debate, meanwhile outlaw all real life content until we figure out.

Rapp Update

Jamie Walton (President of The Wayne Foundation, a NPO advocating for victims of sex trafficking), has contacted Nintendo and made them aware of Alison Rapps comments.

Razorfist makes a rant about the Fire Emblem Fates situation:

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes And clever in their own sight!

The fact that they keep pulling this shit is the best weapon we have at the moment
Too bad their leaders are sneakier than this

The bigger they are…

Don't know if you've heard about this, but there was a guy who posed as a fake feminist that wrote a couple dumb articles for The Mary Sue portraying them self as a feminist when they're not. The Mary Sue has taken the articles down, but it's worth a laugh at in terms of bad ethics and people being stupid for clicks.

Here's the video about the situation:

Here's some info to share with GamerGate.

Female Japanese Representative Refutes UN Suggestion to Ban Media Depicting Sexual Violence

Based Japan strikes again

"The so-called sexual violence in manga and video games is a made-up
thing and as such does not threaten the rights of actual people."

"while you’re trying to fix the rights of fictional characters, you’re leaving the human rights of real women in the real world left to rot."

"It is noted that on the other hand when it comes to "manga that depicts sexual violence" a certain segment of people are going to find it unpleasant. Nevertheless, to ban expression and commerce unilaterally based on feelings of whether or not something is unpleasant, or viewpoints on what should be moral, is a practice not to be condoned."

I love this person so much. It fills my heart with happiness to see such a beacon of anti-stupidity in the world.

Thanks Gaben!

"Time for the real main event!" I AM" going to slam another giant! HOGAN VS GAWKER! Watch Gonna Do Gawker? Only Justice Brother. HH

The Hulkster last promo.

This is going to be a bigger event than Hulk Hogan vs The Rock!

Nobody ever suggested "mixing it with the real thing". Rapp only every discussed fictional depiction, and said that anything involving real lolicon – by definition – involves child abuse. If you really insist on having this absurd and deeply hypocritical witch-hunt then at least have the decency not to fabricate false charges.

http://humansarefree.com/2016/02/nintendo-pr-employee-advocates.html

Rapp has repeatedly talked about real life pedophilia

The cancer spreads…

Let's just hope it don't end up like Hulk Hogan vs Shawn Michaels

Fun fun. I wonder if Crash Override would help if I told them about the one death threat I received from an anti-GG?

After all, they just want a safer internet. /s

You should do this and document the following conversation. It would be very interesting to see what happens.

If you can find provide the evidence, that would be even better.

I can't find it now. It was sent to me in a PM on Twitter, but I must've deleted it. It happened well over a year ago.

In lieu of that, I can offer up 2 instances of anti-GGs trying to start a witch hunt on me from their followers!

Instance 1
Instance 2

HOLY CRAP!!!

Only Bookie probably remembers this, but I queried on the possibility of Twitter's sudden rise in stocks in February being influenced somehow, because not one day before they were falling faster than a meteor. And of course you-know-who opened its mouth. I tried to be respectful about it, but that went the way you'd expect.

Well, I WAS FREAKING RIGHT ALL ALONG. They didn't get someone to come in and bail them out, THEY JUST DID IT THEMSELVES!!!

It was fake! And most likely illegal!!

It's 100% legal, Jimmy. Don't believe everything you read in tumblr (and then inflate certainty). It's called a vote of confidence, and it isn't fake. Twitter reorganized and showed confidence in its future. Other investors followed, because it was a sign of strength for the company. Ask any financial planner or take 5 minutes to Google it, there is nothing illegal about it and there is a reason why no financial news reporter is calling it "illegal".

With that said, do you believe that move may save Twitter, or is it delaying their death?

That would presuppose that Twitter was in trouble to begin with. Twitter depends on remaining the universal platform, how investors feel is only reactive to that. Does anybody really believe that Twitter is going anywherr? Milo is the loudest voice and even he isn't leaving. Why would he or anybody else? A few people are leaving to make a statement but they're nothing conpared to the vast majority of international twitter that still doesn't have an opunion on #gamergate

How Twitter's market value will change is anybody's guess, I would defer to its stock trends as they reflect the views of the market. Even if it declines, Twitter is never going to fold and go offline.

Well, that's why I said "most likely" and not "is totally." I looked through the links in the Tumblr post and from what I they said, it is not exactly illegal. It's not exactly unethical either, because come on, if your company was in the dumps you'd put your own money into it to boost it back up.

And I didn't mean 'fake' as in it's a lie; I meant that it didn't happen naturally. It didn't go up because their usual investors saw fit to put more money into it. I was right in the respect that it was forced. I don't know how much good it did, either. It seems that they're only just getting back up to about $20 a share, which is pretty low considering what they used to pull.

Should i post this in the comment section of the article?

A visual representation of the financial, professional and private ties of people who work(ed) at Kotaku.

No idea, the link has the Hashtag right in the middle of it but some observers react strongly to what "someone said" on twitter.

That said: Hey look what happened on twitter!

Gamergate seems to have weaponized another charity. This time on anti-sex trafficking.

Games Journalism still can't understand the joke of the PC Gaming Masterrace

I actually think in posting the images, but i think someone would need to look if the images are legit and telling the truth.

Trust is easy.

It's the verification that's the hard part.

Keep an eye on it and be wary if there's a way to cross reference a related instance.

In the meantime I'll see if these images have credibility elsewhere. (Google reverse image search perhaps?)

Research shines light into darker side of gaming industry

It's all based on data from DeepFreeze.

And don't be too discouraged if some people insist on not getting the point, there's a surprising number of people who seem to regard Jay Allen's counter-evidence of "Derp, Derp, MS Paint! Derp!" as a convincing argument.

I remember one guy who decided that because the email address in a screenshot was partly redacted with bright red instead of black that mean it was an "MS Paint Chart" that could be ignored.

Naturally those people will always end up being wrong in the long run.

Feminist Frequency is at it again

What the heck did they do with all the money they had from their supporters and stakeholders earlier?

I'm almost ready to believe that this is some sort of elaborate money laundering/recycling scheme. (That is, donated money is re-pledged to fund other projects that never get completed as a way of presenting that something is being done. Keep in mind, this is speculation.)

You make a fair point, but I'm very skeptical due to Feminist Frequency's recent funding in Crash Override Network and their spokesperson doing some misinformed and inaccurate/falsified research (Making up game play and stating that it encourages violence towards women) for their provided material as well as not delivering on their funded agenda (Butt coverings). As well as said person churning out educational material that appears to push opinion rather than fact (Couldn't archive), plus involvement with trying to persuade the UN on an issue and giving information that was determined to be riddled with unfounded and unreliable information (that refrences Zoe and mentions her involvement with the previously mentioned Crash Override Network, but a little video search shows Anita promoting the study as well.)

I'm concerned that the project that Feminist Frequency is offering to produce would be a complete opinion piece that would be touted as fact as well as being factually wrong, based on the quality of their current series.
