Thread is by request. Their being hideous isn't an argument, merely an observation.

Anita has qt potential yes, she squandered it like all sex-negative feminists though.

All I've gotten out of this is that gamergate is basically high school drama that exists on social networks, yes?

Nah. Just corruption in the area that's supposed to be the consumers' watchdogs in an $87billion industry. The drama simply keeps things interesting.

lol.

All those eye-opening, gritty IGN exposes and gut wrenching stories of journalistic heroism flying off the Kotaku copy desks of 2012.

What happened to this once sacred bastion of all encompassing integrity?




You know they write about what you - as gamers - talk about, so when you talk about it more, they think it's worth it for them to write about it. Modern media in general is about clicks. If you can get 8 million people to guess what colour a dress is, you're hired. Who cares about integrity, just make it go viral and watch the ad rev roll in.

The correct reaction to avoid this whole thing would have been to shrug like the rest of us, but instead you choose to have yourself click trolled ad infinium along with the army of autists you choose to keep company with.

Pray for Kagatob, guys. Dis nightrider got the hard bergers.

You can't make something go viral. Whether or not something becomes viral/memetic is not up to its creator or the progenitor of whatever news story or the taker of whatever weird picture of a dress. What news agencies do, however, in the immediate wake of the meme can and certainly does generate a great deal of ad revenue, and that's exactly what capitalistic journalism has become.

And this is why Gamergate is especially egregious - not just for being a deplorable, sopping garbage sack of cumstained, socially degenerated halfwits who literally think harassing, threatening to kill and rape women, and generally just being intellectually stunted malicious little shits falls under the purview of journalistic integrity. Not just for that, but because there actually are real issues in journalism right now, and they don't stem from the fucking video game industry or from Anita Sarkeesian/Feminist Frequency.

This is just a boring distraction. I'd be all for a distraction if it actually raised some interesting points about something, but this is just an absolute waste of time and I have nothing but contempt for anyone who continues the Gamergate conversation. Women are being doxxed and harassed and threatened with violence and murder - the conversation is over. I won't listen to another word of that tune, and anyone in their right mind should know better as well.
