GAMING JOURNALISM ETHICS 1Ee UNIMPORTANT SINCE 2012 I notice is week's "Best of Kotaku" has no mentions of the allegations concerning corruption in gaming press by Robert Florence I don't think it's a pretty important story. I think it's the same tired nonsense about games would take reporting to find it out, and I just don't care enough about the latest supposed media scandal to alism that some folks love to carry on endlesslv about to look into it dish Outlits on the The Best of Kotaku, This Week Site 1 Gama About The Altacks disabling image and Gawker Media The Best Comment From The Community BoomBoomLaser Tina Amin 0/27/12 943am I notice that this week's Best of Kotaku" has no mentions of the all n in gaming press by Robert Florence. Or anything about how he left his position at r after of legal threats made against Eurogamer. I think it sounds like a pretty important story about the gaming industry- but, you know, that's just me. ★3. Reply was a 10/2712 1107m n of the integrity of the gaming press blew up An intriguing discussion about gamers across the net Suppose it may have to do with this place having post after post of PR fluff. Seriously, finding the good writing here is becoming a chore. If anyone is interested http://wosland.podgamer.com/the-wainwright-profile/ has a good run down ★Reply BoomBoomLaser Stephen Totilo 0/27/12 1:09pm story. I think it's the same tired nonsense about games I don't think it's a journalism that some folks love to carry on endlessly about. If we had more clear facts about whether one journalism outlet or journalist really threatened to sue another and if that other outlet buckled under that needlessly, then maybe we'd have a small story. But that would take reporting to find it out, and I just don't care enough about the latest supposed media scandal to ask my reporters to look into it. You know what's highlights in this list above. ant? Doing good games which is what we did this week and ★3. Reply 22naouldke Stephen Totilo 0/27/12 112pm See my response above. Nice try trying to explain your theory based on our "post after post of PR fluff. Your comment about how much of a chore it is to find good writing on this site would be more convincing if you hadn't posted it below a list of all of our best-written and best-reported stories of the week. If those stories don't compel you to stick around, then don't. But I sure would hope you'd find some of those stories interesting. Certainly more interesting than the same-old, same-old theories about whether every games journalist is corrupt ★1@Reply You know what's important? Has GLaDOS from Portal Invaded the Olympics? Doing good games journalism . a several Kotalku readern have polated out THE SITUATION IN QUESTION: Video Game Journalist Robert Florence Leaves Eurogamer After Libel Complaints When Robert Florence wrote a piece about the shortcoming of video game journalism, he included Twitter quotes of other games journalists, One journalist and her employer complained and possibly threatened Eurogamer with a libel suit. This led to the amending of the article and removal of the quotes. Since then Florence has left Eurogamer This is a story partly about free speech and partly about video game journalism and ethics. I don't thinkit's a pretty important story.

zoë “lycan subscribe" quinn O @UnburntWitch - 1h Since I'm getting a lot of emails about this: no, l've got nothing to do with That TV show. I learned about its existence at the same time as the rest of you. No, I was not asked, consulted etc. and if I had been asked, I wouldn't have been ok with it. That's all. 5 17 42 408 zoë “lycan subscribe" quinn O @UnburntWitch · 1h I continue to reject any oversimplification of GamerGate that leaves out its roots in white supremacy, domestic violence, and the pre-existing societal issues it capitalized in favor of a more convenient and inaccurate narrative about it being solely about women in games. t7 78 5 510 @UnburntWitch - 57m zoë “lycan subscribe" quinn If I am portrayed in it, it's without my involvement or any input on my end, and is happening without my consent. If I'm written out of it, well. I'm not so sure how you can present it as an “honest" story. But that's really not my problem, either. 27 10 204 zoë “lycan subscribe" quinn ... @UnburntWitch I don't want to do any interviews on this, I don't want to give any other statements aside from this. It's bad enough having all of this pop up again without any warning or regard for how I might feel about it, so l'd like to just try and ignore it. Thank you for understanding.
zoë "lycan subscribe" quinn O @UnburntWitch I haven't stopped screaming this for the last seven years because the scarlet letter on me hasn't come off, the harassment hasn't stopped, and people still refuse to learn a god damned thing about what happened to me (and others). Ignoring history enables the repetition of it. * Margaret Sullivan O @Sulliview 7h The AP's treatment of 22-year-old journalist Emily Wilder shows how much newsroom managers still have to learn about bad-faith attacks and online harassment of their staffers, seven years after Gamergate should have taught them.

It is nothing short of a waking nightmare to be constantly impacted by it for the better part of 10 years despite all attempts to move the f--- on, only to have people say it never happened. 7:08 pm 27 May 2021 Twitter for iPhone cory barlog O @corybarlog 10m ... Replying to @UnburntWitch people are just the f-----' worst. O 1 zoë "lycan subscribe" quinn O @UnburntWitch · 7m I'm losing my mind dude, there's honestly Discourse saying gg never even happened and wasn't that bad anyway like 2014 never stopped. ...

zoë "leonardo doujinshi" quinn O @UnburntWitch - 1h wow what a "fun" idea. assholes. O DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm - 9h Ellen Page and Paris Berelc have been cast in the gaming comedy 1UP' for BuzzFeed Studios. The film is described as being in the vein of 'Pitch Perfect' but set in the world of esports with a Gamergate backdrop. (Source: link.hollywoodreporter.com/click/21952263..) IB CAD 44 27 251 M 1.6K zoë "leonardo doujinshi" quinn O @UnburntWitch 1h love that the psycho ex who ruined my life and the alt-right mob he drummed up basically seems to have won the disinformation wars given the replies to this. big props to everyone who knew better but stayed ""neutral"" during gg. O 6 27 52 O 829 zoë "leonardo doujinshi" quinn O @UnburntWitch - 1h fun reminder: the game review I supposedly "bought" with sex literally never existed in any way, shape, or form, and the psycho ex who kicked up the mob even said so himself. 000 I hate that this still somehow is considered a controversial statement. 27 78 O 771 zoë "leonardo doujinshi" quinn O @UnburntWitch · 1h I hate that I have to keep saying it but I don't know what else to do when people just let the waters be muddied for this long and my existence has been politicized to the point where I can't just live my life. 000 277 O 497 zoë "leonardo doujinshi" quinn O @UnburntWitch - 1h 000 They even named the protagonist "Vivian" so they know enough to know better than to make this a fun comedic romp. O 10 337 zoë "leonardo doujinshi" quinn O @UnburntWitch 57m I'm so sick of talking about this even though it STILL impacts my life every day. I struggle to live my life around it, recover from it, and not let it break me and then stuff like this comes up from time to time and kicks me in the teeth.
