_"*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?

Author has 304 answers and 740.1K answer views. 5y Not that I care that much either way, but it did expose a lot of corrupt game developers and game journalists. 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

They found my rant. Sargon of Akkad retweeted it.

Too much bias goes with it because it is a belief system and not a science for you people, as can be seen from any feminist article ever witten at DiGRA especially the interpretive ones Although this video begins with his waming, "Please do not contact any of the people mentioned in this video" Sargon of Akkad, October 2, 2014), the focus on specific individuals and the anonymity of the online forums suggests that those mentioned were to blame I cannot imagine why Third, there appears to be a fundamental misunderstanding of what the goals of critical theories are. Throughout online conversations the phrase "Cultural Marxism" is used to suggest that researchers conceive "of culture as central to the legitimation of oppression" (Sargon of Akkad, September 9, 2014) Although the Frankfurt School, which our Fishbowl is repeatedly connected to in this comment section, worked hard to demonstrate the power of dominant media discourse the commenters seemed to assume this meant academics planned to deploy media this way Similarly, a nideo by actual feminist" Christina H Sommers, widely shared by GamerGaters, actively conflates direct-effects media theorists with cultural studies (American Enterprise Institute, 2014) You morons just established that you want the industry to grow up, be more feminine and whatnot and go straight to the defence of the who's, now you admit that the Frankfurt School and Critical Theory are a big inftuence, and somehow this is not cultural marxism. It f------ is you t---- tcha EjiaBpVzOohs in faimess, many involved in GamerGate have balked at the DiGRA conspiracy theories More about how dishonest your little clique is, the people who seem to be dishonest that I know off are A Brady Curlew, Dianne Carr, Mary Flanagan, Jennifer Jenson, Mata Haggis, Suzanne de Castell, Mia Consalvo, Adrienne Shaw, David Nieborg, Catherine Beavis, Nicholas Taylor, Jo Bryce, Sara M.

(Yes, Ive been doing a LOT of digging) All of these people appear to have tried to find evidence for their conclusions rather than test a hypothesis, worked with poor research data that should have never, ever come through any kind of peer review or have forged lecture material Leader 03/18/15 (Wed) 07 40:39 ID: 9bedba No.487001 Fu目article here Leader 03/18/15 (Wed) 07:42:11 ID: 032738 No. 487006

We military now.

Rami Ismail @tha rami Hilversum, Netheriands Chief Executive Business & Development Guy at indle game studlio Viambeer. Creator of presskto. Drinks only real cane sugar coke http:wwww.ramismai.com 1016 374 So love NC, and decided to look into the people that make it. I've noticed an awful lot of hostility towards "GamerGaters" or whatever they're called. After a little research, I don't see what there's so much to hate about'em. Just seems like people being people. Your thoughts? Gamergate is a militarized movement that pretends to be about'ethics in videogame journalism'. It has been part of a larger movement that has causeda lot of hate, hostility and harassment in the industry. Participants vary wildly, but tend to be radically opposed to feminism, diversity initiatives, academia, criticism of the artform or progressive game design, or a combination thereof Gamergate has engaged in dogpiling, threatening, harassing, doxxing and intimidating - and were such a large problem that most major companies in the games industry have spoken up against the movement and the damage it causes to the industry and the reputation of the industry. Individuals tend to speak up against it less frequently, because the damage of Gamergate targeting you can include attempts at getting you fired, personal information being spread, harassment and threats against yourself or your loved ones. Many targets have resorted to using tools to make their social media experience usable again, and two-factor authentication became ubiquitous for people in the industry after the rise of Gamergate You can look up coverage about it on most major news sites, including CNN BBC and in the gaming press. I'm strongly opposed to the movement, having been a minor target (worst I got was a photo of my front door with a threatening rtarget!) and knowing several of main targets An upside of the movement is that now it is clear that our industry has community issues. While a majority of the games industry is very supportive of diversity efforts, we still have rotten apples and a subsection of gamers is still very hostile towards 'others'. We have a long way too go ,直

Once again, i do not hate this progressive culture, if they want to have the games they have, with the reviewers they have, with the stardards they have. Well, they can.
What i really hate is that they have become the only culture/games/reviewer/standards in the semi-mainstream (As far as indies are concerned) and the rest of us have been delegated to the margins.
