_"*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

Yet by the rules of Wikipedia, the page was Hey Amanda Marcotte, next time you try doing journalism maybe try and fact-check it, perhaps with the article on the left, posted a month before on the very same site you wrote yours on Slate), and talking about the very same misinformation that was spread about "five feminist editors" getting banned from Wikipedia when no such thing ocurred. Maybe then we could trust the rest of the stuff you preach about in the rest of your article

The results of Brianna Wu's game.

More than 250,000 people downloaded the free version in the first six months, and the sell-through rate for the $5.99 full version hit four times the industry average of about 2 percent. so she's earned roughly $120k gross if we take these numbers. Apple supposedly takes a 30% cut on average, which leaves her with S84k to offset her $400k development budget. No further comment

“GamerGate has seriously damaged our ability to push our shitty politics on gaming and get positive reviews via bribery and sex.”
