Ka0 posted:I can't believe all of this crap began with some dude posting some e/n tumblr about his cheating gf who made some poo poo game about depression. What I can't believe is that people didn't already know Kotaku, Ben 'this controller feels like fondling a tit' Kuchera and pretty much 95% of the gaming 'press' were full of poo poo and had their heads up their own rear end before. Like we didn't have the Kane and Lynch firing with Jeff Gersman, Dorito-Pope, the firing at Eurogamer, the whole ME 3 fiasco, Aliens: Colonial Marines and other stuff I'm probably forgetting about to point that out. Stuff that involved a lot of money. And showed how the industry is completely incestuous, full of cliques where your rear end can get fired if you step off message, even if your intentions are to protect your readers. Now this is the line in the sand? This stupid bullshit? Oh well, at least Phil Fish quit video-games again. Maybe before this is over he'll come back and quit again.

Solstice posted:I would not let a 9 or 11 year old read a gaming website unsupervised. Kids don't go to gaming websites. They go to pewdiepie's youtube channel and watch him watch old videos of his own recordings and give him thousands upon thousands of dollars because kids don't know what loving ad block is. reignonyourparade posted:So it's at the least charitable a "straw that broke the camels back" deal and more realistically "one of a long line of spats between gamers and games media." Wonderful. Still, this seems to be going on forever. Granted, that seems mostly due to the idiots in the gaming press. Releasing a ton of 'gamers are dead' articles at the exact same time basically ensured you'd piss people off.

Sephiroth_IRA posted:edit: Also seriously how do you pull up analytics for a specific topic? Those numbers I pulled out my rear end, you really can only estimate. PewdiePie makes around $4 million dollars a year. If you want some math, here it is. He currently has a little less than two thousand videos. He's been on YouTube for 4 years, so that's roughly 500 videos a year. Lets round it to 500 videos per year for the sake of easy numbers. Lets also assume it was only this year that he's made 4 mill. And then lets assume all that income is equal across every video. It obviously isn't, but gently caress it. So, 500 videos per year equaling an even $4 million per year is eight grand per video. Depending on view count and ad clicks and whatever other voodoo Youtube uses, it could be a lot more. Some more math. The video I mentioned has 10 million views in two months, which means a third of his subscribers watched it. It is also his most watched video the past two months, so it has probably earned much more than 8k. According to this site he stands to earn more than four million in the next four months.

From what I've seen, if you try going in the middle or take a moderate stance, you're painted as either a Social Justice Warrior/Fun Police by one side or a misogynist bully by the opposite.

Cardboard Box A posted:Nah this is the best part about it. If you like to troll people on twitter, you just have to tweet or retweet pro-gamergate stuff for a couple days, then tweet or retweet anti-gamergate stuff for a couple of days, and keep switching it up, ensuring a constant stream of pissed off people butting heads on twitter for the foreseeable future. This is true, but I don't use twitter  burritolingus posted:Why do that when you could just post something in the middle and piss off both sides at once? The more neutral and civil and inclusive to both sides your message is, the more it pisses people off. Which is funny in a sadly ironic way, but at least with the other way you could change it up for basically all eternity as you pretend to change your mind at each bit of news. I guess when you get bored, you can do a civil, moderate message and then just make everyone scream and block you on twitter.

burritolingus posted:I think it also helps when you write less because then there's more room for the reader to read what they don't want to read in what you wrote and take offense than if you fully explain yourself. I forget who said it, but it was basically that twitter radicalizes people because there's really not enough room for nuanced, complex discussion in 140 characters. So you have to boil everything down to a talking point and then boil that down even further. It doesn't really leave room for thought. So if you go even below 140 characters, yeah, it gets real easy to set people off.

lovely Wizard posted:So has anything happened with 4chan deleting literally everything gamergate on every board, even /pol/? Pretty much nothing, aside from typical 4chan bullshit rumors. One was moot met Zoe at xoxo Portland and made nice with her or something like that. Apparently they also removed the feedback page as well. I don't know why they thought deleting GG content would be a good idea, especially since there was just one thread in /v that could easily be ignored if you wanted to bypass all this bullshit. Its still being spammed, though most threads are removed pretty quickly.

Daynab posted:To give an example, everyone I know, minority or not, who agrees with Femfreq in even the most basic way has been dismissed as a SJW a ton of times. Anita Sarkeesian is a genius. Not for her videos. Those could be accomplished by spending a weekend searching TV Tropes for examples and then injecting anything you find with basic feminist theory, be it intellectually valid or not. No, she is a genius for exploiting people for money. 160k for a blue-screen background, stolen YouTube footage and C+/B- Freshman Philosophy papers as a script. And she takes forever to come out with videos for some reason. Whether her intentions or not, it allows her to milk people out of even more money. This is poo poo people do on YouTube for free. And at the end of the day, her videos are really inoffensive. Some gamers collectively lost their poo poo over this, naturally, and attacked her with some heinous poo poo. And all the harassment she gets naturally makes her bulletproof to criticism (legit or not) because her supporters can claim 'if you critique Anita, you're a misogynist and mansplaining, you cis-het white fascist gently caress!'. It also gives her more cash by making people feel like they are fighting for equality and against the patriarchy by supporting her. It is perfect gig.

The original "plot" was to ask for six thousand dollars for better video production to make a webseries. Who do you think made things blow up as much as they did? Hint: it wasn't feminists Gamers definitely did blow it up far more than it would have with crap like domestic violence the game, you got me on that.

Fabricated posted:The games journolist email poo poo is hilarious; it's a lineup of the biggest most worthless shitbirds in gaming. How could you hate Ben? I mean look at his writing: It felt like the first time I touched a girl’s breast in the backseat of a car with fogged up windows, scared that her parents were going to fling the door open and start yelling at me. I wanted to grab the controller and run. I wanted to nuzzle it against my face and ask it who is a good controller? Who is a good controller? You’re a good controller, you sexy thing, you. That's some excellent criticism and is not creepy and disturbing at all. Jombo posted:The fucks on both sides of this shitfest have devolved into parodies of each other to the point it's one giant amorphous twitter arguing blob. Unless we get some sort of singularity event the entertainment value is just going to slowly meander towards zero like bitcoin. The singularity event will be when Brietbart and the right wing actually try to use this as an excuse to try to get votes. Then the whole thing will collapse as political infighting occurs.

Lowtax posted:I'm sure 4chan and the GamerGate people blindly hate me regardless, just because I've made fun of them before. The thing is, I've made fun of the other side as well. Both sides are acting silly. But to some people, if you're not a 1 then you must be a 0. There are simply no other numbers, and if you're not for us then you're against us. It's some epic "us versus them" war on the internet, and every single person has to belong to one of two groups, that's all. Yeah, you really can't win. If you are in the middle, even if you have the most tolerant, neutral message out there, both sides will crucify you as if you are the embodiment of Satan. I remember when Boogie (lol internet celeb) came out with basically 'I love everybody and we should stop fighting and make video games better'. 4chan immediately tore him a new rear end in a top hat and told him to shut his mouth, while the anti-GG people called him an evil misogynist and started fat shaming him. It is insane.

Shadoer posted:And that's the thing, Gaming is a billion dollar industry and a major art form now. It actually warrants real journalism and investigative work as opposed to these pretentious corrupt assholes. Part of the problem is that gaming websites are being eaten alive by YouTube and LPers and Twitch. So as a reaction to that you see more and more click-bait type articles to try to attract eyeballs. When that barely works, then they begin to hate their audience because they've abandoned them for 'enthusiast press' who aren't real 'journalists'. Not that YouTube would be any better, it is just where more and more people are getting their information from.
