Is Kill! Despite the goodwill of the entire community of Gamers, The Escapist has repeatedly chosen their friends over open exchange of ideas and information Anonymous sources have confirmed the following facts: Most of the mods are hardcore SJWs, the others sympathetic to the Social Justice cause. Almost all are anti-GG The Escapist maintains a private group called The Brovengers, that does not have to follow site rules, and where they plan trolling on pro-GG members of the forums, plan raids on pro-GG threads, and make fun of non SJW gamers in general Some mods, the community manager, and people from The Brovengers group are friends in real life. They break forum rules to troll pro-GG gamers, and the Community Manager covers for them. Their raids consist of trolling threads, while their moder friends turn a blind eye, then coming in and heavily moderating pro-GG posters, while ignoring any infractions by their friends Mods have also used their powers to ban vocal pro-GG posters seemingly minor infractions like low content posts, or trumping up charges of insulting forum members simply for making sarcastic critical comments You can see an example of this at http://imgur.com/a/sOwSU This is one poster who the moderators came down hard on after he revealed he was from Know Your Meme. The mods took every chance to moderate h even when the decision was questionable, until he was suspended then permabanned. Joined The Escapist Three in one day Mentioned KYM Connection It isn't any huge surprise at this point to see mods using a professional site as their private playground, and punishing dissent from their own personal political views, but it probably does mean that we should no longer give The Escapist special treatment. It is just another corrupt site, trying to push a radical political agenda, and silence any dissent, just like the rest. There is probably more dirt to dig up, and probably more proof of bias, and trying to pretend to be sympathetic to GG, while actually working against gamers every step of the way.

NOTHING HAS F------ CHANGED 10
Gamergate (harassment campaign) Article Talk From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For other uses, see Gamergate (disambiguation). Gamergate or GamerGate (GG)[¹] was a loosely organized misogynistic online harassment campaign and a right-wing backlash against feminism, diversity, and progressivism in video game culture. [2][³] It was conducted using the hashtag "#Gamergate" primarily in 2014 and 2015.[1][4][5][6] Beginning in August 2014, Gamergate targeted women in the video game industry, most notably feminist media critic Anita Sarkeesian and video game developers Zoë Quinn and Brianna Wu, among others.[7][8][9][10][11] The harassment campaign included doxing, r--- threats, and death threats.[12][13][14] Gamergate proponents ("Gamergaters") stated that they were a social movement, but lacked well-defined goals, a coherent message, and leaders, making Gamergate difficult to define.[15][16][17] Gamergaters claimed to promote ethics in video games journalism, claimed to be protecting the "gamer" identity, and opposed what they asserted as "political correctness" in video games.[18][19][20][21][22] Read Date Target Gamergate, online harassment campaign in 2014-15 that targeted women in the video game industry. The attacks were attributed largely to white male right-wing gamers who railed against the rise and influence of women and feminism in the industry. Gamergate served as a recruiting tool for the growing alt-right movement and helped spur the online “Pizzagate" conspiracy theory, which soon spawned the wider QAnon conspiracy movement. …………………………....…..……….….....

[2][36] Gamergate led figures both inside and outside the gaming industry to focus on methods of addressing online harassment, ways to minimize harm, and prevent similar events. [37] [38] [39] [40] Gamergate has been viewed as a contributor to the alt-right and other right- wing movements.[21][41] Video game developer Brianna Wu

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
