Woo boy, looks like some inner circle member of CON decided they were spitted or something and leaked tons of Skype logs to Bro Team. This implicates a lot. Collusion, Wikipedia buy outs, coordinated lies, doxxing, blacklisting, Twitter favoritism, and being assholes. So nothing new just new solid information

VICE Gaming Meets: Zoe Quinn

And it became the most downvoted VICE video in YouTube. Comments are also disabled but people are talking about her controversy in discussion.

An archived /pol/ discusses the video.

GamerGate on Voat discusses the video too.

@Gabenus Trollucus

Comments are disabled so Zoe can say whatever unchallenged BS as freely as she can, just like with Eron and his gag order.

Zoe claims she wants to move on, but continues to play the victim in order to promote her new project.

@Doc

Thanks for that confirmation (Same link just made it clickable)

@Gabenus

1k likes and 8K dislikes now. So I guess someone will buy her new "game."

But if you want a tie in curtiousy of SQUINTO vision

Looks like DRinternetPHD (alias of ZQ in those chatlogs) had Ryu Long keep a monopoly of the wikipedia article!

And there's now a move to tack Gamergate to the "Alt-right" (so… left?) in hopes of getting Gamergate scrubbed away. Revisionist history in the making!

And if you have issues with fighting any of the bigotry don't worry there'll be an app for that

I wonder if they're going to end up disabling up/downvotes too?

That's how Sarkeesian & Josh do it.

There's a whole lot of ugly in that image…

She's getting desperate enough to try to connect him to a weird, contradictory, fringe element that's mostly confined to Internet sulk boards. Probably because she's going to get buried under a mountain of her garbage. Again.

That app is… it's childish, puerile, insulting and bigoted. Feel free to add more of your own adjectives.

His name… is not… Josh.

Also you're blocked.

When it rains it pours:

There's a lot of information about the confirmation of ZQ's previous efforts to:

-sabotage a game jam
-collude with people that were involved in the same matter by coincidence not collusion (Super long image, details all events and confirmed by I.M. Chong)

Also:
CON's methods are questionable

And: Breitbart is possibly owned by someone else.
However verification is proving that it's hard to trust that source.

And to further that discussion about the vice video, MundaneMatt weighs in for Gamergate:

Edit: Typos

HUGE dump of log files

Out favourite shadowrunners have been busy digging up secrets.

Bro Team Pill has two streams on this:

Cheong's article on the subject.

Plus bonus Cheong article, Kotaku Is Everything That’s Wrong With Video Game Journalism. (Highlights below)

> What gamers want to do is simply play video games and visit websites to discuss the gameplay, themes, and story of their favorite titles without being demonized by game critics who insist on speaking down to their audience.

> As a whole, gamers have no problem dealing with politics in games, and many popular titles, including The Witcher 3, Hideo Kojima’s Metal Gear Solid series, Deus Ex, and BioShock, all explore serious themes like racism, social and cultural oppression, and ethics. And they do it without resorting to heavy-handed didactics -- the kind that “pop culture critics” like Jonathan McIntosh argue should be in games.

[…]

> All the criticism gamers have made about Kotaku can be validated in a series of posts made by guest weekend editor Gita Jackson, a rising star in the games writing scene. Jackson was named “Blogger of the Year” in 2015 by the Critical Distance game journalist echo chamber, a site that exists only to promote members of the games writing clique who have come to dominate the scene with “social justice”-driven commentary about how video games are sexist, racist and homophobic--especially the ones that actually aren’t.

> I would know. I was part of it.

[…]

> It’s basically what’s wrong with game journalism: writers behave like their sexuality matters to their audience (who are just there to read about games) and exhibit outright hostility--intended to project confidence--that actually betrays an insecurity about criticism. The idea that most readers may feel complete indifference by neither loving nor hating her writing is completely alien.

And Green Day is worried about punk music video games & MMA scaring their children.

hi can someone give me links about what happened to Mercy Covington i need to show some people about it i cant find ones about the gamergate stuff or about her relationship with american McGee would u show me some, i need them and it would be helpful for other stuff

All I know is that American McGee's sister is missing and a anti-GG was trolling him about his sister. At least GamerGate was nice to help out looking for his sister.

Sadly, Mercy is presumed dead.

Here's the masterlist of links regarding the matter

I just tried this. It's true. I just removed Google from my search bar selections.

List of better search engines right here.

Is the proper conclusion that Google goes to the trouble of removing certain terms from auto-suggest, or is the proper conclusion that people doing the "illness" search make up a smaller portion of Google users than users of the other engines?

It seems nuts at first until you consider that Google has an enormous buffer of "sheeple" who will search for very mundane things and keep them at the top. Heck, "Hillary Clinton Health Plan" is a valid search term from the 90s while the illness one is only months old. Sure the same could be said for Yahoo, but that has a VERY right-wing clientele as evidenced by the comment section.

GamerGate: August 2014 Revisited by Jaime Bravo.

"Best wiki source for this. Thanks to you I got to piece together some stuff that I didn’t know when it happened exactly." – Jaime giving special thanks to Know Your Meme.

@the Mark Dice video

This is a guy who unironically believes in Illuminati conspiracies and thinking the "liberal agenda" is connected to said conspiracies, I'd take what this guy says with a huge fucking grain of salt.

Small cause for alarm

So ICANN, that company that's taking over the internet via handing out I.P addresses and the like from the US, is also going to have a new boss, The U.N.

Thank goodness Zoe Quinn/Anita's plea for policing the internet didn't go through. Otherwise this thread/article/website would probably be used as a grounds for forming some kinda blacklist.

Also Ethical fallout on the publishing of the CON leaks

Facetious thought
Almost thinking this paper leak and the new uproar warrants another #-gate. Con-gra-Gate? A-GGroGate? There's pun there. But best not to split it for more confusion.
End thought

I know and I agree, the dude is WAAAAY out there.
But, like I said, I tested it myself and he was right. They are suppressing results.

Well. We already knew Google was in favor of censorship, often for political purposes. Let's remember the Goolag jokes are not for free. In fact this has been happening for years in China. Honestly the so called left is more prone to censorship than the right once it has power.

That's mostly because when anyone does any research into almost anything they've touched, you find a measure of illegal or illicit activity, data from studies being fudged (or the studies themselves), corruption, collusion, ethical violations, and always a great deal of hypocrisy and lies.

Their ideals cannot hold up to any real scrutiny. Thus they do everything they can to silence anyone who tries to point out reality. The narrative must be maintained at all costs. They must be viewed as the pinnacle of virtue, despite violating every moral code there is, including their own.

Wrong. Both political parties are prone to censorship while they have power. Bush did plenty of censorship during his time.

Yet the left has been slightly worse at that. I never said the right never censored, I just say the left is a bit worse, which is ironic because they claimed to support freedom. And if you try to bring Nazis as an example of right, let me remind you that Nazi is short for National Socialism, yes, socialism. The left is more prone to censorship due to it's collectivist stance. But hey, that is not the point. the point is that now it is the left which censors.

That nazi argument is dumb as hell. That's like saying Libertarians are in favor of big government regulations because they have the word Liberal in their name, and liberals like more government regulation.

At the time of Bush presidency the internet was still largely in it's infancy.
Nowadays everyone has internet on their phone and you can access it almost anywhere. It also has much faster more stable connections across the board.

If the Right wins the presidency you will likely see just as bad or worse censorship from the Right.

Do not pretend like either side of this political problem is any more innocent than the other.

As I've stated a thousand times. The Nazis were a FASCIST version of Socialism. You can have Fascist capitalism, communism, etc. Socialism as a whole does not inherently lead to fascism or censorship just like capitalism doesn't automatically lead to fascism or censorship. Also I'm talking about the actual definition of Fascism and not the bullshit watered down version that people have created by misusing the word to describe any person with a different political stance.

And on the interwebs for today:

Annaliese Nielsen, a woman who managed to get a Lyft Driver fired for having a hula figurine on his dashboard, is drawing a lot of attention on the KIA reddit. Notably because Phillip Defranco (4m youtube subscribers and 10yr user) did a report on it and immediately got his ad revenue pulled for the new reason of the video not being advertiser friendly

According to the above threads Annaliese is the founder of Godsgirls, an adult site that hosted Zoe Quinn at one point and also the founder of a "Secret Society of Women" that fight patriarchy on Facebook.

I strongly advise Trust but Verify this information, especially when concerning Annaliese. It appears any information regarding this person could be fabricated or dangerous to expose due to how connected they are.

Edit: Oh and one of BroTeamPill's expose vids (see an above post) got pulled for being harassment

thanks and sorry for the late response it was a busy week it helped me to open a decent discution a some people stopped doing generalizations now

I love this post. In particular the part about fascism. But I insist, the left has shown a more pernicious form of corruption and censorship now that it is in charge. I guess ideologies serve no one in the end when it is about politics. All that should matter is facts.

Gamedevs are being discriminated against for political reasons

Looks like it's happenstance:
Youtube has been pulling advertising on videos due to a rule that's in a moral grey area. However, they just updated the notifications. So anything dealing with buzzwords that could be viewed in a negative light could have the funding pulled. This is happening to multiple channels all over the YT community.

So verification is iffy on Phillip Defranco, as it could just be Youtube censoring potentially dangerous content, which is stated in its user agreement.

Ohter news: Having Paid DLC for a game that is in early access is probably a bad idea

Meanwhile at pax: Randy pitchford, CEO of Gearbox came out as antigamergate and sang about it at PAX drawing in a total of 8 viewers on twitch. Also gloated about how he owns the Duke Nukem license.

(Cant link. Potato again for the weekend)

I like old memes as much as the next person, but busting them out on a live stream is just plain sad.

Isn't that the same guy who lied about Aliens: Colonial Marines?

Gotchu fam

I already upload the video here under GamerGate.

Better songs to get the cringe out of your brain.

>sing it with me
>dead silence
And here I thought the cringe thread got locked.

Favorite Youtube comment:

holy shit! I can't believe the entire battleborn playerbase sang along with him.

Brianna Wu made a Bustle article on Hilary Clinton taking on Alt-Right with a side of GAAAAAMERGAAAATE!

HFA's Twitter posted about Brianna Wu and GAAAAAAMERGAAAAAATE!!!

Archive those links.

Also…

>citing pedobutts

And in other news, LeoPirate made a new vid:

Brad Wardell interview – #GamerGate 2nd year special part 2

Well. there we go. She mentioned us by name.

Let's get this train up and rolling again. We have a new end boss to drop it on.

Brianna Wu is semi-relevant again, seeing as she just released her game on Steam.
It took two years and it still plays like an impacted stool.

GamingGarbage streamed it just, like, an hour ago.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJUao2bFjjc
Lowtax got less than an hour into it before giving up.

Just to let everyone know. Lowtax was willing to play through the a nightmare on elm street fan games.

The game has less gameplay than an FMV sega CD game.

Speaking of Brianna "GAAAAMERGAAAATE" Wu, he wrote another GamerGate article on The Daily Dot, claiming that GamerGate leader is arrested on 2 felony counts of assaulting a police officer when it's just Ethan Ralph from The Ralph Retort.

Just remember Brianna Wu is un-factchecked MSM lite. Thanks to that person there was a SyFy special, interviews on CNN, the Twitter account thanking her for putting a positive spin on Hillary vs the Alt-Right (and GG) and now Brianna is claiming a victory against GG because Ralph got arrested.

As For Lowtax? Here's his written review of the Brianna's game

Read for laughs.

As for news, looks like we might be getting some more context beyond the CON skype leaks
