I raise my little baby birds and me without the help of anyone else on this damn f------ planet. Do not take that away from me because you feel like using me as a meat shield Some people claim that I simply do not understand. Which seems to be an odd statement, coming from people who do not even know about the games that they are supposedly criticizing.

In 'N Out Chef 09/17/14 (Wed) 20:40:37 ID: 5b639 No.2655 File (hide): 1411000833841png (78.89 KB, 600x223, 600 223, ExodnjelAAAGIR png) Tweets per day #gamergate, #closethegate, and #gameethics /sp/ journo who chimed in last week back. Thought ld add some thoughts on the latest news Breitbart dropped. Ill probably get really mad soon, so if you liked that it will come back. 1) The list in itself is not evil. Journalists often keep in touch and discuss their beats. I have a few friends across the country that I talk to about stories I'm writing or things that have happened on my beat. It's just how it is and that's ok. ITS WHEN YOU F------ COME TOGETHER AND COLLUDE WHAT SHOULD AND SHOULD NOT BE COVERED that's f------ WRONG. WHY THE F--- IS A PERSON FROM AN OUTLET THAT ISNT IN ANYWAY RELATED TO ANOTHER TELLING PEOPLE WHAT TO AND NOT TO POST? That's HORSESHIT and the caps Milo showed off clearly show it was going on 2) So to address more on the end of that last point. The list isn't "bad but how the list is used can be. So it's PRETTY F------ STUPID TO DENY THERE IS COLLUSION WHEN ONE OF THE BIGGEST WRITERS ON THE BEAT IS ASKING PEOPLE TO NOT COVER A F------ STORY. STORY TIME:I mentioned I know a lot of reporters, right? Well while they may be industry friends, THEYRE ALSO MY F------ COMPETITION. I don't share stories I'm writing with them in terms of "oh man, you should really write about this with me!" I don't let them on to leads l use maybe if I know one of them could use it I would share it, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY THEY ARE TRYING TO GET MY READERS TO READ THEM AND VICE VERSA WE ARE FRIENDLY COMPETITORS AND IF MY F------ EIC KNEV WAS COLLABORATING ON STORIES WITH A RIVAL PAPER「WOULD BE F------. FIRED 3) More on that list. I saw some writers digging Milo that he wasn't fully reporting this and he didn't reach out to them. I really no have no sympathy for you because this is how you, games journalists, have been operating for years. Sucks when someone drops a bomb on you without calling for comment, right? i don't see you reaching out to all parties for TFYC or even the Cards Against Humanity guy F--- you, you f------ hacks. urnalist, but l would wait to see what the cha ie said 4 #GamerGate, your ournalists aka bloggers suck ass and dont deserve to carry the title the list in itself isn't so evil as what the list was used for. o s show before you condemn e r one on that DONT F--- THIS UP. I F------ HATE S----- JOURNALISTS WHO HAVE NO ETHICS AND RUIN IT FOR ALL OF US. IF YOU ALLOW THIS S--- TO BE THE NORM, YOU WILL HAVE BUZZFEED JOURNALISM FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIVES AND IT IS INFECTING MY PRECIOUS WORLD OF SPORTS. YOU GUYS ARE NEXT. inb4 Im sexist, I already condemned Ray Rice SJWs. F--- off and check your privilege.

Thought ld add some thoughts on the latest news Breitbart dropped. Ill probably get really mad soon, so if you liked that it will come back. 1) The list in itself is not evil. Journalists often keep in touch and discuss their beats. I have a few friends across the country that I talk to about stories I'm writing or things that have happened on my beat. It's just how it is and that's ok. ITS WHEN YOU F------ COME TOGETHER AND COLLUDE WHAT SHOULD AND SHOULD NOT BE COVERED that's f------ WRONG. WHY THE F--- IS A PERSON FROM AN OUTLET THAT ISNT IN ANYWAY RELATED TO ANOTHER TELLING PEOPLE WHAT TO AND NOT TO POST? That's HORSESHIT and the caps Milo showed off clearly show it was going on 2) So to address more on the end of that last point. The list isn't "bad but how the list is used can be. So it's PRETTY F------ STUPID TO DENY THERE IS COLLUSION WHEN ONE OF THE BIGGEST WRITERS ON THE BEAT IS ASKING PEOPLE TO NOT COVER A F------ STORY. STORY TIME:I mentioned I know a lot of reporters, right? Well while they may be industry friends, THEYRE ALSO MY F------ COMPETITION. I don't share stories I'm writing with them in terms of "oh man, you should really write about this with me!" I don't let them on to leads l use maybe if I know one of them could use it I would share it, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY THEY ARE TRYING TO GET MY READERS TO READ THEM AND VICE VERSA WE ARE FRIENDLY COMPETITORS AND IF MY F------ EIC KNEV WAS COLLABORATING ON STORIES WITH A RIVAL PAPER「WOULD BE F------. FIRED 3) More on that list. I saw some writers digging Milo that he wasn't fully reporting this and he didn't reach out to them. I really no have no sympathy for you because this is how you, games journalists, have been operating for years. Sucks when someone drops a bomb on you without calling for comment, right? i don't see you reaching out to all parties for TFYC or even the Cards Against Humanity guy F--- you, you f------ hacks. urnalist, but l would wait to see what the cha ie said 4 #GamerGate, your ournalists aka bloggers suck ass and dont deserve to carry the title the list in itself isn't so evil as what the list was used for. o s show before you condemn e r one on that DONT F--- THIS UP. I F------ HATE S----- JOURNALISTS WHO HAVE NO ETHICS AND RUIN IT FOR ALL OF US. IF YOU ALLOW THIS S--- TO BE THE NORM, YOU WILL HAVE BUZZFEED JOURNALISM FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIVES AND IT IS INFECTING MY PRECIOUS WORLD OF SPORTS. YOU GUYS ARE NEXT. inb4 Im sexist, I already condemned Ray Rice SJWs. F--- off and check your privilege.
