The best way to get people on your side is drive-by posts with links to a lot of YouTube videos, no follow-up commentary and no attempt to actually engage in conversation with anyone who might have questions or comments about what you're posting.

The best part about all of it...this subject is a demonstration of the horrors of the human psyche.

Bunch of random people jumping on others for their own preconceived notions, for which most of their victims are not actually involved. The ultimate in stereotyping, generalization, and tribal warfare.

How else does one explain the slandering against "ethics in gamer journalism"?
Take a few bad apples and use them to paint an entire group. P&N regulars should be quite familiar with this specialty.

So I missed this whole thread, and I'd just like to throw my two cents in.



This whole gamergate thing is really stupid. "Gaming journalism"? Never heard of it, and since when is journalism "ethical"? Stop acting like children.


Anyway that's my take on it.

The srhbutts, laurelai wesley bailey and chris chan stuff you can find yourself I guess, there are some seriously disturbed people on the anti side. There is something strange going on with some real life trolls who seem to be so attracted to the idea of the immunity of being female that they "transition" in a less than convincing manner.

The game Hatred which they so hated was greenlit by a huge margin, gamers just said no to these people in the media. So the usual suspects have been silent on it for days now.

I've totally lost track of all this. I saw one or two of Sarkeesian's videos a few months back and then forgot about it, and now all I see is people shouting at each other about nothing. Which side are the good guys again?

Guy, everyone else has moved on.

Gamergate people turned out to be psychos trying to conceal some anti feminist agenda under the hilarious guise of 'ethics in gaming journalism'.

Nobody believed you then, nobody believes you now. It's over.

Yes keep protecting the fair damsels like Mcintosh from misogyny.

Clearly, logic is misogynistic

Whats hilariously sad is that people like you who scoff at fox new watchers have managed to beat them at their own game of being oblivious to fact and reason.

Whatever you need to tell yourself.

There will always be dead enders like you who are so emotionally invested in the outcome that they keep soldiering on, but nobody else cares. You guys were exposed.

I imagine at one point there actually WAS a legitimate issue of ethics to be discussed. With journalists and developers being too... cozy.

That appears to have long since been lost under a mountain of hatred. What you're witnessing is the human psyche can't let go of such defamation and slander. It's festering hatred on both sides. An issue that blew up far beyond its original incarnation. Co-opted from a meaningful purpose.

For all intents and purposes it's an online war. Social violence, if you will. Anyone that'd wish it to continue is a damned fool.

Except there is no war, its a group of sad manchildren screaming into the dark about how terrible women are while the other side stares in horror and occasionally flees their home when they are threatened online.

None.

This is just a bunch of angry people yelling at each other. To rationalize their bullshit they form sides so they think they might actually be justified.

This is a great example of why having a "conversation" involving a million people at once is fruitless. It is why having representatives and senators is so ingenious for the political system. Gamer gate is what a headless democracy looks like and its terrible.

Bravo, you hit the nail on the head!

The whole thing is wrong because it has no structure, no speaker to represent actual positions for discussion, and enough bad apples to spoil everything. It's not focused or moderated enough to be constructive. The sort of thing leaders can provide.

exactly.

I've still yet to see any reason to not interpret this as a bunch of unrestrained internet neckbeards taking everything to the maximum--all in response to something that has no real relevance, to anyone, anywhere, ever: "gaming journalism." WHO THE FUCK GIVES A FUCKING SHIT?

You guys with your "fact-hunting" posts and endless data accumulation to track down these "Evils against humanity" remind me of Silver Prime levels of lunacy with his ability to confuse unsourced scraps of comments and various errata as some evidence of truth; much less relevance.

OMG: some evil feminist called me a woman-hating asshole!
OMG: some evil misogynist called me a feminist and wants to rape me through the internet!

grow the fuck up, idiots. none of you matter

...then she uses the opportunity to sieze more power for her organization and entire gender, place even more burden and restrictions on the male gender, and gain a nice wad of cash for herself. A few tears along the way speed the process along nicely.

It's as if the entire gaming world is just now learning the lesson not to argue with women. It's like wrestling with pigs.
