_"*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 β€’ View upvotes 26

Keep this up, Kuchera. Keep antagonizing devs by implying they are corrupt for not dancing to your tune and you will soon be flipping hamburgers for the rest of your pathetic life. At least you got more chance than David S. Gallant.

"We're not PR for the industry"

All we do is tell you to Buy Doritos, Drink Mountain Dew, Purchase Alienware, Spend money on dlc codes to unlock on disc content, Give companies lots of cash on day one dlc's, Promote and defend pay-to-win models of game design, And stamp a 9/10 for any triple A game that we review, unless they didn't pay us enough to do so.

We're not the industries PR, and if you disagree with anything we say above or criticize any company for any of its products regardless of quality, we'll call you an entitled basement dwelling terrorist and whine about the industry being portrayed negatively, which is also your fault you entitled basement dwelling terrorist!
