I heard about the game journalist illuminati conspiracy today so I checked metacritic and see a single score of "50" for her game. Is that the review she slept with someone for? I don't get it.

quote:Despite what the noise around the provocative term might sound like, Cultural Marxism is not Alex Jones-style paranoia. From the beginning, Marxism rejected positivism – positivism meaning the belief that mathematical logic and scientific experimentation are the sole authoritative sources of knowledge. This should be interesting for the reader who has heard of the Marxism being scientific socialism. To Marx and Engels, scientific was merely a nice sounding word that meant that their socialism had a philosophical methodology behind it. This is true: Marxism does have a methodology, it’s just a non-rationalistic methodology. This is #gamergate

quote:The assumptions of Cultural Marxism aren’t relegated to radical or academic spheres. Herbert Marcuse was he father of the New Left, the left that we know today, and he was a Frankfurt School Marxist. Our politics absorbed these assumptions to the point where don’t even notice. We still see this rejection of positivism in political discourse. Run-of-the-mill video game journalism constantly demonizes video game culture as too male, adding to the powder keg of suspicion about ethics and agenda pushing...  #gamergate is real spread this everywhere you can tell your wife, your boss our story must be heard

Colon Semicolon posted:how is it bad Here's a better summary: A journalist (nobody remembers his name) sleeps with a developer (zoe quinn). This causes outrage over journalism ethics and standards. To show how upset they are at the journalist whatshisname for his lack of ethics, #gamergate promptly attacks zoe quinn. Soon after, we learn that she's just being crazy and 100% made up the attacks against her for popularity, and this causes people to laugh at and harass her more, which she also made up, which causes more harassment, which is also made up. Soon after, we find out that it's not just zoe quinn, but her PR company is in on the agenda. It turns out they rigged an indie game awards ceremony by representing several entrants, in order to showcase freeware games made by left-wing SJW's. #gamergate stands strong against rigged indie games award ceremonies. #gamergate then begins to mature. Finds out that SJW means something more - cultural marxism. This isn't about zoe quinn, the indie games ceremony, journalism ethics, or any of that trivial bullshit, this goes to the top. DARPA. The government. KARL MARX. Basically, the left-wing marxist game journalists, with the help of our government via DARPA, are out to SUBVERT dominant gaming culture. They are out to destroy our way of life, and replace it with gender neutral, non-violent, be-friendly-to-strangers gaming. That is #gamergate. Fighting for what is ours, the culture we built, our lives as gamers.

Today I watched my first thunderf00t response to a sarkeesian video: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuRSaLZidWI) and I thought he may have a point about Hitman in that gamers don't kill the strippers, and Anita is "cherry picking" and probably had to kill them herself since she couldn't find examples of gamers doing it. So I did a Google video search, "hitman strippers" every video featured the player killing the stripper https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOOAJXtX47I quote:In which we Enjoy Talking a Lot and Killing Strippers a Lot. We strangle and kill many strippers, then make piles out of them and watch them ragdoll and roll around the floor. Then we take the piles and make binders out of them. We sell them to Mitt Romney for thousands of dollars. After the event we also murder a considerable amount of police, and chinese merchants, however I rapidly tire of this, because it completely lacks strippers, and I quit before the level is finished. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVElJbjDqOs Fansy fucked around with this message at 20:54 on Sep 24, 2014 |

 I'm still lolin that #gamergate's campaign for "journalism ethics" has brought them in lock-step with Breitbart. They're desperately searching for conspiracies in a handful of zero-budget indie games, an indie-game award ceremony (grand prize of $0), and a freeware dev's sex life. FEARLESS! It's also entertaining to see them fail to piece together evidence for these conspiracies on wikipedia's talk page. If they were really worried about "journalism ethics", they'd look into the role that publishers and advertisers play with top gaming sites. (10/10, unplayable!) But again, that concerns money, not feeeemales. It's almost like they're trying to look for something, anything, no matter how irrational or petty to attack a certain feminist game critic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVElJbjDqOs PRESERVE GAMER CULTURE

I've played games since I was a kid. I grew up on games. While other kids read books, I played games. When other kids watched movies, I played games. Now those kids who read books and watched movies are trying to tell me that my specific choice of media is bad? SCREW THEM! Here's my plan, #GamerGate. We take our expertise and apply it to books, movies, and other media. First, I'll start with Madame Bovary. This guy Charles who is a cool dude but a little awkward (kind of like a gamer) has his poo poo going really well, but he has a TERRIBLE WIFE who is basically Zoe Quinn. She sleeps around with EVERYONE and takes all of his money. Here's how I'd fix the "book": X button: Grenade to throw at Leon Dupuis and/or townspeople B button: Give arsenic to Emma R-shoulder (light press): Kill stripper Please support my kickstarter

I watched all of Sarkeesian's videos over the past two days thanks to gamergate calling her the devil. I didn't like seeing some of my favorite games brought up, but the devs (like me) probably never gave it much thought. I still love those games, but I have to admit that they largely have terrible depictions of women.

KongMu posted:Not to discredit you because you seem like a cool dude and all and I agree with you but women in games was actually a legitimate topic before Anita and she kinda has made a total loving joke out of it. Nobody thinks youtube videos are peer-reviewed scholarly works. And gamers aren't going to read a $40 journal. I found them to be a good introduction to feminism for a community that knows very little about it.

Fun facts about Milo Yiannopoulos, #GamerGate's favorite journalist. After Elliot Rodger's murder spree, Milo blamed the shooting rampage on video games and called gamers "dorky deviants" and "nerd rapists". He's pretty much the exact game-hating, fake-gamer that #GamerGate accuses Anita Sarkeesian of being. He's been in legal trouble for not paying his employees and other misdeeds, but once again, it's those drat indie devs that are doing shady business. He's transphobic. To quote twitter user @alexlifschitz, Milo's article history is like a racist/sexist version of the Wonka boat ride. When #GamerGhazi calls for ethics in journalism, remember that Milo is their gold standard.

natetimm posted:The entire game press gave her coverage because they have a group where they all get together and decides who gets coverage for what and instead of their stories being based on industry trends or investigation they're determined by social engineering within a sad group of nerds. Still believing what Milo told you? Every industry has several private groups / forums / email lists. If you're not on one, you're probably not important in your industry. Journalists are competitors, they don't all "work together", and they definitely don't agree with one another in public, and especially not in private.

Quinn is obviously a member of the social group being run by these journalists and that's obviously where her coverage is coming from because she doesn't make good games. There is no reason to cover her other than the social engineering factor. As other people have posted there are a myriad of better quality games doing the same type of things that don't happen to be made by a girl getting passed around the gamjournos group. Why did the powerful journalist Illuminati not review Depression Quest? Why is there only 1 poor review on Metacritic?
