people that are a part of radical feminist ideology or call themselves social justice warriors started appearing everywhere in games journalism ages ago.

the kind that literally post articles about how hating all men is good, and how a patriarchy conspiracy is everywhere. Anyway they blew their cover trying to cover up for a newbie woman game dev whose boyfriend exposed that she cheated on him with 5 dudes (and sleeping with some people in the gaming press that could promote her) and these journalists then made articles about how all gamers hate women so the term gamer shouldn't be used anymore. (The term gamer never was used for much of anything but pro gamers, but games journalists didn't know that for some reason?) They continued to attack anyone in their audience who asked them questions about it on twitter.

a lot of forums also became censored over it. reddit and 4chan are censored which is pretty amazing given the general attitudes of those place and shows you how much of a media push there was to cover it up.

make any sense? it shouldn't. it's all terrible adolescent ideology thrown into forums drama and twitter type poo poo. a TON of nasty stuff came of it. death threats. hacking. forums being wrecked with censorship. Phil Fish posting.

bottomline is watch youtubers for gaming news since they were the ones that aren't into all sorts of weird other poo poo and just talk about games.

It's always fun when someone outs themselves by giving an incredibly one sided account of the stupid poo poo going on in whatever drama the forums is enamored with. :munch:

Can I get a judges ruling on the actual content of the post though? Accurate portrayal of SJW commentary or straw feminist bullshit?

THIS IS WHAT MRA'S ACTUALLY BELIEVE

Haha ok whoever I was talking with earlier who said it's not fun to laugh at gamers and it is fun to laugh at Gaming Journalists, this quoted post is why you are wrong and you're missing out if you're not focused on the shortbus. Don't make me start linking Lovers Lab. I'll do it.

Welcome but be careful. We do not recommend you embrace the entire Dark Enlightenment outright. It has a lot of controversial information that can "trigger" even the most mature adult males. Start with a small chunk of it like reading just the red pill or just stormfront for a couple of months before adding another.

Warning: It is not recommended that females embrace the Dark Enlightenment at this time.

So it turns out that the Youtube Atheist crowd who make hours and hours of videos about feminism (and have recently discovered DiGRA) are sometimes bad spokespersons for the #gamergate movement? Who could have forseen that coming?

Well, duh. None of these people are great spokesperson's. The only one who at least genuinely shows some sort of promise as a speaker is IA. People were making GBS threads on him earlier but he knows how to rally people and that makes all the difference in the world. He knew that it'd be critical to make a video once the month ran because he could refresh everyone's memory and remind them what they are fighting for. The thing about movements in general is that if you have no idea how to rally, entertain or encourage your movement, you might as well give the gently caress up. You want people involved to feel good about what they're doing. On the internet that's difficult because everyone has an opinion and no one is willing to sit on the back burner.
