MORE BAD JOURNALISM: Winner of the Pulitzer prize Makes things up. Gamerute Gamergat te a brief history of a computer age war Gamergate: a brief history of a computer-age war By Helen Lewis, The Guardian (Source: https://archive.today/s5Qqr) "The Zoe post', published in August 2014, made a series of unfounded accusations that Gjoni's former lover Zoe Quinn, an independent games developer, had traded sex for positive reviews. " The Zoe Post does not make a series of accusations that Zoe Quinn traded sex for positive reviews. It doesn't make a single accusation of that anywhere. It doesn't suggest or imply it. It doesn't accuse her of trading sex for anything. (Source: http://thezoepost.wordpress.com) The Zoe Post sure is a long read, but that's no excuse to make up what it says. Zoe Quinn, the game developer at the centre of the Gamergate controversy. Actually, AWFUL JOURNALISM LIKE THIS is at the center of the Gamergate controversy. Does anyone know if Columbia University can take back a Pulitzer Prize? ETHICS!

_"*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
