Will almost certainly be another biased, one-sided look at the movement like most of the crap the mainstream media puts out about it (yes I am a #Gamergate supporter. Sue me).
Shocking.![]()
You have to admit that some of the coverage was far from being truthful let alone neutral.
You should change your avatar. Han Solo would not approve of this.Will almost certainly be another biased, one-sided look at the movement like most of the crap the mainstream media puts out about it (yes I am a #Gamergate supporter. Sue me).
Zoe Quinn not being a great person is not what caused misogynistic pieces of trash to attack her like this was the 1950s.Oh, I can already see this move being a completely unbiased look into what really happened with Zoe Quinn, games "journalism", and GamerGate.![]()
We know big companies have bought reviews in the past. That didn't cause any movements. But throw a woman in the mix, and suddenly men can't help themselves. That anyone would defend that crap is so blatant, it is painful.Gamergate is a truly obnoxious and failed moment.
It's a good example of how the lack of any intellectual core can induce an inevitable rot, and failure.
Ethics in gaming journalism is a phoney issue, and as such cannot be a coherent foundation for any legitimate movement. I was upset with Nintendo Power about the ethics in their gaming journalism when I was nine years old. Past a certain age, it is time to grow up.
But really, the movement is about male entitlement, which is an anger that does not understand itself. I'll note that it's nobody's business how many people Zoe Quinn had sex with last year.

And what was the straw that broek the camel's back? A woman, because those who lost their mind were misogynistic pigs.It was more like a the straw that brokes the camel's back deal .Of course soon enough thing spiral out of control and the issues became the fetid mess that is widely known for.
Which is easy for them to do that. They weren't the ones attacked or threatened.All the people who are part of this, male and female, hardcore, casual, what have you... In ten plus years when they have mortgages, kids, bills, marriages, bosses that ask too much, jobs that take up their free time even, experience deaths of loved ones, sicknesses, ect., they will look back on the #Gamergate nonsense as an extremely shallow and ridiculous moment in their youth and as nothing else.

Their position and sexual persuasion? Oh, I am sure this would have applied to a male in the same position. I am sure they would have threatened to rape a male video game developer. I am sure this compares to the major review sites being sponsored by the games they are suppose to be reviewing, the paid, isolated environments some are asked to review the game in, so on and so forth. Gamespot literally fired someone for reviewing a game to low. None of this happened.No, someone allegedly using her position and sexual persuasion to pushe/curry favour in order po promote her own inferior (or so I was told) product upon the unsupecting gaming masess. Of course even at that moment the whole gamegate "movement" hadn't really coalesced (not in my opinion that it ever has since then) into any unfying tag.

Also, I love how you have no idea what the game was, which matches the amount of knowledge those threatening to harm her seemed to have.
Unless your significant other, who one sleeps with is none of your concern. And that you phrased it that way kind of proves my point.Sure , if the male in question was the one being accused of fishing for a better reviews.
Some? The vast majority. The vast majority had no idea what they **** they were talking about, and decided it was time to join into the witch hunt they have been craving for a good while now.Yes, the conduct of some of those Gamergaters are deplorable.Although seeing what SJW types that flock to the anti-gamergaters side would resort to don't exactly gave those white knghts any high horse to rode.
And the minor prodding just happened to be a women in the gaming industry that resulted in massive amounts of sexual harassment? Yeah, I am sure it had nothing to do with her being a woman.As I said ,festering issues( anybody still remember the dorito controversy?lol) needing some minor prodding for the whole cyst to burst.
Thank you for proving my point.I know the name of the game at the time,unfortunately it was not the type of game that remotely interest me .Henceforth my not remembering what its name was, nor was I interested on finding out if it was as good or as bad as they were claiming.
But that was never going to happen, because this was never about game reviews.Let's say hypothetically we know that Zoe Quinn traded sex for a good review, which we don't know but let's pretend we do know that.
If we're angry at anybody, we should be most angry with the reviewer, not Quinn.
WTF? I mean raelly, WTF? How is that any of your business? If she did, and you have no idea what she did, how in the hell is that any of your business? I swear, some here live in the 1950s.And even then she cheated on her boyfriend with five other guys.

Anyone with a lick of sense wouldn't have been apart of this crap, as none of it was reasoned discussion, but an online sexual assault of a woman for being a woman.
