Game Journalism for Dummies 1.) Major in Journalism with a minor in Gender Studies 3.) Use your Gender Studies lense to find every single non-issue in a game 4.) Write article complaining about the biggest non-issue you can find in the game, demanding the non-issue be "fixed." 5.) If the gaming company caves, cool, move on to the next game and start over from step 3. If they don't cave, move on to step 6 6.) Choose "marginalized" community and use your Gender Studies lense to figure out how the non-issue "harms" that community 7.) Write article accusing the gaming companies of being "bigots" for their refusal to "help" the marginalized community 8.) Label any criticism of you as "hatred of the marginalized community" 9.) If anyone from the marginalized group criticizes you, call them sockpuppets or accuse them of having internalized (insert 'ism' here) 10.) Collect money from rage clicks, move on to next game, and return to step 3 Brought to you by: The Game Journos "We hate you, and we like it that way."

_"*I guess i had to do it if only because people are expecting me to do it. I didn’t even remember this was a thing till yesterday XD*"_ Had to add this because I thought that ppl would actually click the source link and look at the description after all this time
Like...is there any solution to this? Should we start something?

X Journalists would make claims of people like Anita Sarkeesian "playing video games all her life" when she openly admitted many times she is not a gamer and only starter recently (when it wasn't for an interview). Various developers trading sex or money for good reviews got exposed, journalists who accepted got exposed. People became a bit more critical about supporting a game just because the developer has a victim complex stating tat their game could have only failed because of sexism, instead of their own poor developing skills. What really sealed the deal was opposition often faking their own harassment. Anita sarkeesian and Zoe Quinn have been caught multiple times screenshotting "harassment" while showing that the harrasser's account name in the login. Or when someone called the police to help Sarkeesian against a "very real threat" she was posting about, only for police to find the harasser's messages were coming from her IP address. I just want honesty from the community, and the lies were mostly exposed by the "dreaded" gamergate. 1.3K views • View upvotes 26

This is discrediting good game journalism, like the recent ones looking into the shitty management of Bioware and Anthem. Its helping to push devs towards unionization.

There's shitty clickbait journalists who bring in the ad revenue, and there's actual seasoned journalists who do their job.
