#44 Silver Seeker Posted Today, 09:03 AM So I just leamed about this "gamergate" thing and sorry I just cant back up such a movement. Some of you will accuse me of being a SWJ or feminazi, which is laughable since some of my views and actions in real life could be viewed as being contradictory to either of those labels. But I also like to consider myself rather reasonable and I just can't lend my full support to the whole "GG" movement. First thing is, if this is about gaming journalism integrity, which I support, why is this all centered around one particular chick who supposedly slept with 5 dudes? Gaming journalism has been crap for quite a while so why did it take some gossipy rumors about who slept with whom to start gamergate? And how does anyone know that those rumors are true at all? Seriously, I need evidence. I just can't go on internet gossip. The word of a disgruntled ex boyfriend isn't real evidence either PC MEMBER 608 posts Second, why gaming journalism specifically? Journalism as a whole has been crap for the past couple of decades. Everything is sensationalized and reported in such a way to influence opinion rather than just reporting facts. We have entire news channels dedicated to that. Gaming journalism is just a small symptom and offshoot of the bigger problem. "Fixing" gaming journalism is just killing one head of a hundred headed hydra. What we really need is the entirety of journalism have standards again Bottomline is that while fighting for journalistic integrity is great and awesome (wait isn't this also considered social justice?), forming a movement under a flagship of the Zoe Quinn controversy taints the whole thing. Gamergate will never be taken seriously and embraced by everyone as long as it's foundation was based on a controversy of one girl who supposedly slept with five dudes, especially when there's no real evidence. It's just going to be too busy fighting charges of misogyny instead. Sorry but gamergate makes me cringe. Both sides are trying hard to look like the bigger victim. People don't know how to handle differing opinions and don't know how to try to understand differing views. But hey, it's the internet. It's always ugly out there Edited b Today, 09:10 AM.

Agree with me or don't, but I'm going to inform either way MASTER 11354 posts 1 warning points Gamergate is NOT about Zoe Quinn or Anita Sarkeesian or any of those people. It merely started with their actions, since their actions ignited the entire thing. As for evidence, we not only have the word of Zoe Quinn's boyfriend that she had been cheating, we have the word of those she had slept with as well. Not all of them, but enough of them to where it validates all the others. So there's that. Second, although we promote journalistic integrity, that is only a part of the issue. We're also tired of being called heterosexual, racist, white men that hate women. Doesn't matter if you agree with Gamergate or not. If you play games, those in the Anti-Gamergate camp will automatically call you out. Harass you, belittle you, make death threats against you The thing is, it's not about Zoe Quinn. She may be involved, but it isn't about her. Those in the Anti-Gamergate side of things would have you believe it is about Zoe or Anita or feminism, but it isn't. Doing even a little bit of research into both sides makes this incredibly evident. If you want me to post evidence, I will do so

Tom Preston doesn't like confrontation

Lates Stegomasaurus Edited 14 hours ago Hobbyist Traditional Artist Origi You post comics which satirize Gamergate, then complain when members of the group aren't pleased by it, labelling their attempts to call you out as harassment no less? What's more, you continue to create material blatantly calling attention to your "harassers" while at the same time wondering why backlash doesn't stop? Can't you at least see that you threw the first punches here? People don't really like being falsely categorized as sexist, so don't take it asa surprise that they get angry Devious Comments 25 ▼11 Nested ▼||Oldest First ▼ TomPreston13 hours ago Go away Stegomasaurus Edited 13 hours ago Hobbyist Traditional Artist Silencing your opposition does not make them go away. The gaming culture is not anywhere near as decrepit as the mainstream media paints them out to be. There are a great many games with strong female characters, just a few of them listed here ube watc RXMOLC..2 There are female developers, plenty of female gamers, and plenty of girls who support gamergate of their own free will, as shown clearly here: WE DON'T PUSH PEOPLE AWAY FOR SOMETHING AS TRIVIAL AS GENDER OR RACE. I believe Jack Thompson helped prove that violent behaviour was not caused by video games, so what makes you think sexism would be? The gamers are outraged because there is a collaborative effort to demonize and "end" gamers in journalism over a non-existent issue. Ever heard of Gamejournopro and their collaborative release of several "death to gamers" articles on the same day? If you haven't, I'm certain you've seen the mainstream media's portrayal of Gamergate that almost never takes a look into the opposing side, like this person did: www.yout The gamers are not a collection of sexists, we fight against the SJWs in an effort to defend our integrity and our hobby from those who use lies and biased journalism to try and "end" us. Gamergate won't stop calling out bullcrap until it stops TomPreston12 hours ago I don't care. Leave me alone Stegomasaurus Edited 11 hours ago Hobbyist Traditional Artist Well, if you refuse to acknowledge or properly refute the arguments of the opposing side of the issue you heavily involved yourself in, I suppose I was wrong to believe you had any credibility to back your stances. It's clear I cannot make progress with someone who takes such offence to an opposing viewpoint, I mean I never called you names or wished harm towards you. How are you to win an argument if you submit to ignorance? How can you even think you have solid viewpoints without at least investigating others? I offered evidence for my views, is it false? If so, how is it false? Unless you prove the ground you're standing on is more than sand, I see no point in dealing with you any further nor any reason not to declare my argument a victory. So long then TomPreston X 10 hours ago What part of "go away" do you not understand? DisGameArt 8 hours ago Student Digital Artist You can scream go away all you want. That hasn't worked even once for the last 10 years for you, what makes you think it will work on anyone now? People are not going to stop calling you out for things, nor anyone else who acts like this

The Mainstream press fails to report how the gaming press and industry has been repeatedly caught with their hands in the cookie jar. Instead, they rely on the info the gaming press and industry supplies them. in-com-pe.tence: noun. A police officer trusting a thief. Transparency, Ethics and Integrity Matter #GamerGate #NotYourShield

"Jack Thompson was right..."

Jonathan Mcintosh @radicalbytes 25m The really sad part about #gamergate is that for many of these folks video games have been the primary pedagogical influence on their lives. な塩Follow Nicholas Tassinari @Firebomb173 @radicalbytes And we all just let it happen.
