#Gamergate, the war on nerds, and the corruption of the left and the free press

[0roo0roo]

But basically in one corner you have people discussing stuff, in the other you have an asshole flinging shit at the people discussing stuff, and you're siding with the shit-flinger because you don't like people asking the shit-flinger not to fling shit. That's a dumb opinion.

Issue is when people apply a double standard. If your were holding to your stance in a fair way, you'd have to actually acknowledge who is flinging shit. Its many of these women and their defenders.

Who gives a shit about Law & Order? Just stop investing your identity so deeply into a meaningless hobby like gaming.

Way to miss the point, this happens only because of a wide corruption in the media industry, and in culture and society. Gamergate is a symptom of a wider problem. Its just the one place people have had any success in making a stand.

Do people take that episode seriously? Yes, sadly they do. Not in the literal sense, but they just assume there is a war on women in the industry as a given, and that gamers are that "go home gamer girl" stereotype. The fan base on twitter is uncritical, primarily women at this point and they loved it, immune to any information which didn't fit their narrative. Didn't matter that the hashtag https://twitter.com/hashtag/GameOnSVU?src=hash was coopted by gamergate women and many others, what doesn't fit their world view is simply ignored.

You only have to look at this fan praising the article on the episode from the Observer.

A GG poster provided proof of the misreporting but was ignored.
Neither the fan nor the article writer care that they are misreporting facts. No correction will ever be made. This is the level of dishonesty which has become pervasive on the internet thanks to these people.

A general sense of the world is being skewed by these people, and that is the starting point for them to influence people with propaganda and false narratives.

One only needs to look into the blockbot.. the list of "harassers".

https://jennofhardwire.wordpress.co...updated-with-documented-harassment-of-gamers/
Look at what got her to level 2. And frankly the levels don't matter because everyone just gets blocked.

For all the talk of harassment, you have something as insidious as the blockbot being legitimized by the progressive left. A tool with no standards, where the only goal is to create an enemies list for people to shun, to block, to dehumanize. No proof as you can see is actually required, instead these people seek to create power for themselves, they put you on an enemies list, a harassers list where you are guilty because they said so, if you want off this list, you have to go and grovel to these people, and even then they will probably ignore you. Beyond that, anyone dumb enough to enable that list once will have all the people blocked in a way where its nearly impossible for them to revert, turning off the block bot doesn't unblock people, it merely stops adding anymore to your blocklist, so good luck unblocking 10k people. This is a tool now being legitimized on the san francisco left, the silence on the issue in the media is deafening.

Feel free to check for yourself http://bb.sarahlicity.co.uk/ a site which reveals what "infractions" a user has committed to get themselves labeled a harasser or a doxer. Pretty much enter anyone on the gamergate hashtag and they will be on there.

8chan did some digging on the funding.

http://8ch.net/gamergate/res/397053.html
Who knows if it will lead anywhere, but those people are funding this nonsense, at least the public ones.



And its also revealed the danger of relying on such defacto monopolies on social media like twitter.

http://pressfarttocontinue.com/2015/02/21/twitter-tomfoolery/
That guy was banned because they wanted to give him some special treatment for going after the block bot writer. Any suspensions faced by Randi Harper? Fixed within the hour.. His crime? He reposted information she posted herself, while this woman doxed a bunch of people by adding facebook groups to her blocklist a while back, nothing ever happens to her.

Then stop insulting them.

Hey, I'm not the one who wants to subjugate, sterilize, and/or euthanize the other gender. Not all feminists may want this, but some of their biggest leaders sure do.

Blue_Max can't hear you, its to loud in his personal echo chamber.

There you go projecting your own false reality onto me again. You wanna' talk echo chamber, how about when you guys shot down other feminists who had opinions you didn't like.

Brianna Wu once again proves how these professional victims troll for attention. She wasn't getting the love, so to insert herself back in the story, she claimed gamergate made sarin gas attack threats, citing some post from way back, and cropping out the information that the person tweeting was actually anti gamer, and threatening gamers.

Summary

After the day’s traumatic events, Nick passes a sleepless night. Before dawn, he rises restlessly and goes to visit Gatsby at his mansion. Gatsby tells him that he waited at Daisy’s until four o’clock in the morning and that nothing happened—Tom did not try to hurt her and Daisy did not come outside. Nick suggests that Gatsby forget about Daisy and leave Long Island, but Gatsby refuses to consider leaving Daisy behind. Gatsby, melancholy, tells Nick about courting Daisy in Louisville in 1917. He says that he loved her for her youth and vitality, and idolized her social position, wealth, and popularity. He adds that she was the first girl to whom he ever felt close and that he lied about his background to make her believe that he was worthy of her. Eventually, he continues, he and Daisy made love, and he felt as though he had married her. She promised to wait for him when he left for the war, but then she married Tom, whose social position was solid and who had the approval of her parents.

Gatsby’s gardener interrupts the story to tell Gatsby that he plans to drain the pool. The previous day was the hottest of the summer, but autumn is in the air this morning, and the gardener worries that falling leaves will clog the pool drains. Gatsby tells the gardener to wait a day; he has never used the pool, he says, and wants to go for a swim. Nick has stayed so long talking to Gatsby that he is very late for work. He finally says goodbye to Gatsby. As he walks away, he turns back and shouts that Gatsby is worth more than the Buchanans and all of their friends.

Nick goes to his office, but he feels too distracted to work, and even refuses to meet Jordan Baker for a date. The focus of his narrative then shifts to relate to the reader what happened at the garage after Myrtle was killed (the details of which Nick learns from Michaelis): George Wilson stays up all night talking to Michaelis about Myrtle. He tells him that before Myrtle died, he confronted her about her lover and told her that she could not hide her sin from the eyes of God. The morning after the accident, the eyes of Doctor T. J. Eckleburg, illuminated by the dawn, overwhelm Wilson. He believes they are the eyes of God and leaps to the conclusion that whoever was driving the car that killed Myrtle must have been her lover. He decides that God demands revenge and leaves to track down the owner of the car. He looks for Tom, because he knows that Tom is familiar with the car’s owner—he saw Tom driving the car earlier that day but knows Tom could not have been the driver since Tom arrived after the accident in a different car with Nick and Jordan. Wilson eventually goes to Gatsby’s house, where he finds Gatsby lying on an air mattress in the pool, floating in the water and looking up at the sky. Wilson shoots Gatsby, killing him instantly, then shoots himself.

Nick hurries back to West Egg and finds Gatsby floating dead in his pool. Nick imagines Gatsby’s final thoughts, and pictures him disillusioned by the meaninglessness and emptiness of life without Daisy, without his dream.

Analysis

Gatsby’s recounting of his initial courting of Daisy provides Nick an opportunity to analyze Gatsby’s love for her. Nick identifies Daisy’s aura of wealth and privilege—her many clothes, perfect house, lack of fear or worry—as a central component of Gatsby’s attraction to her. The reader has already seen that Gatsby idolizes both wealth and Daisy. Now it becomes clear that the two are intertwined in Gatsby’s mind. Nick implicitly suggests that by making the shallow, fickle Daisy the focus of his life, Gatsby surrenders his extraordinary power of visionary hope to the simple task of amassing wealth. Gatsby’s dream is reduced to a motivation for material gain because the object of his dream is unworthy of his power of dreaming, the quality that makes him “great” in the first place.

In this way, Gatsby continues to function as a symbol of America in the 1920s, which, as Fitzgerald implies throughout the novel’s exploration of wealth, has become vulgar and empty as a result of subjecting its sprawling vitality to the greedy pursuit of money. Just as the American dream—the pursuit of happiness—has degenerated into a quest for mere wealth, Gatsby’s powerful dream of happiness with Daisy has become the motivation for lavish excesses and criminal activities.

Although the reader is able to perceive this degradation, Gatsby is not. For him, losing Daisy is like losing his entire world. He has longed to re-create his past with her and is now forced to talk to Nick about it in a desperate attempt to keep it alive. Even after the confrontation with Tom, Gatsby is unable to accept that his dream is dead. Though Nick implicitly understands that Daisy is not going to leave Tom for Gatsby under any circumstance, Gatsby continues to insist that she will call him.

Throughout this chapter, the narrative implicitly establishes a connection between the weather and the emotional atmosphere of the story. Just as the geographical settings of the book correspond to particular characters and themes, the weather corresponds to the plot. In the previous chapter, Gatsby’s tension-filled confrontation with Tom took place on the hottest day of the summer, beneath a fiery and intense sun. Now that the fire has gone out of Gatsby’s life with Daisy’s decision to remain with Tom, the weather suddenly cools, and autumn creeps into the air—the gardener even wants to drain the pool to keep falling leaves from clogging the drains. In the same way that he clings to the hope of making Daisy love him the way she used to, he insists on swimming in the pool as though it were still summer. Both his downfall in Chapter 7 and his death in Chapter 8 result from his stark refusal to accept what he cannot control: the passage of time.

Gatsby has made Daisy a symbol of everything he values, and made the green light on her dock a symbol of his destiny with her. Thinking about Gatsby’s death, Nick suggests that all symbols are created by the mind—they do not possess any inherent meaning; rather, people invest them with meaning. Nick writes that Gatsby must have realized “what a grotesque thing a rose is.” The rose has been a conventional symbol of beauty throughout centuries of poetry. Nick suggests that roses aren’t inherently beautiful, and that people only view them that way because they choose to do so. Daisy is “grotesque” in the same way: Gatsby has invested her with beauty and meaning by making her the object of his dream. Had Gatsby not imbued her with such value, Daisy would be simply an idle, bored, rich young woman with no particular moral strength or loyalty.

Likewise, though they suggest divine scrutiny both to the reader and to Wilson, the eyes of Doctor T. J. Eckleburg are disturbing in part because they are not the eyes of God. They have no precise, fixed meaning. George Wilson takes Doctor T. J. Eckleburg’s eyes for the all-seeing eyes of God and derives his misguided belief that Myrtle’s killer must have been her lover from that inference. George’s assertion that the eyes represent a moral standard, the upholding of which means that he must avenge Myrtle’s death, becomes a gross parallel to Nick’s desire to find a moral center in his life. The eyes of Doctor T. J. Eckleburg can mean anything a character or reader wants them to, but they look down on a world devoid of meaning, value, and beauty—a world in which dreams are exposed as illusions, and cruel, unfeeling men such as Tom receive the love of women longed for by dreamers such as Gatsby and Wilson.

WHAN that Aprille with his shoures soote 1
The droghte 2 of Marche hath perced to the roote,
And bathed every veyne in swich 3 licour,
Of which vertu engendred is the flour;
Whan Zephirus eek with his swete breeth 5
Inspired hath in every holt 4 and heeth
The tendre croppes, 5 and the yonge sonne
Hath in the Ram his halfe cours y-ronne, 6
And smale fowles maken melodye,
That slepen al the night with open ye, 10
(So priketh hem nature in hir corages: 7
Than longen folk to goon on pilgrimages,
And palmers for to seken straunge strondes, 8
To ferne halwes, 9 couthe 10 in sondry londes;
And specially, from every shires ende 15
Of Engelond, to Caunterbury they wende,
The holy blisful martir for to seke,
That hem hath holpen, whan that they were seke. 11
Bifel that, in that sesoun on a day,
In Southwerk at the Tabard as I lay 12 20
Redy to wenden on my pilgrimage
To Caunterbury with ful devout corage,
At night was come in-to that hostelrye
Wel 13 nyne and twenty in a compaignye,
Of sondry folk, by aventure 14 y-falle 15 25
In felawshipe, and pilgrims were they alle,
That toward Caunterbury wolden ryde;
The chambres and the stables weren wyde,
And wel we weren esed atte beste. 16
And shortly, whan the sonne was to reste, 30
So hadde I spoken with hem everichon, 17
That I was of hir felawshipe anon,
And made forward 18 erly for to ryse,
To take our wey, ther as I yow devyse. 19
But natheles, 20 whyl I have tyme and space, 35
Er that I ferther in this tale pace, 21
Me thinketh it acordaunt to resoun,
To telle yew al the condicioun 22
Of ech of hem, so as it semed me,
And whiche 23 they weren, and of what degree; 40
And eek in what array that they were inne:
And at a knight than wol I first biginne.
A KNIGHT ther was, and that a worthy man,
That fro the tyme that he first bigan
To ryden out, he loved chivalrye, 45
Trouthe and honour, fredom 24 and curteisye.
Ful worthy was he in his lordes werre, 25
And thereto 26 hadde he riden (no man ferre 27)
As wel in cristendom as hethenesse,
And evere honoured for his worthinesse. 50
At Alisaundre he was, whan it was wonne;
Ful ofte tyme he hadde the bord bigonne 28
Aboven alle naciouns in Pruce. 29
In Lettow 30 hadde he reysed 31 and in Ruce, 32
No cristen man so ofte of his degree. 55
In Gernade 33 at the sege eek hadde he be
Of Algezir, and riden in Belmarye. 34
At Lyeys 35 was he, and at Satalye, 36
Whan they were wonne; and in the Grete See 37
At many a noble aryve 38 hadde he be, 60
At mortal batailles hadde he been fiftene,
And foughten for our feith at Tramissene 39
In listes thryes, and ay slayn his foo.
This ilke 40 worthy knight hadde been also
Somtyme with the lord of Palatye, 41 65
Ageyn another hethen in Turkye:
And everemore he hadde a sovereyn prys. 42
And though that he were worthy, he was wys,
And of his port 43 as meek as is a mayde.
He nevere yet no vileinye 44 ne sayde 70
In al his lyf, un-to no maner wight. 45
He was a verray parfit gentil knight.
But for to tellen yow of his array,
His hors were goode, but he was nat gay.
Of fustian 46 he wered a gipoun 47 75
Al bismotered 48 with his habergeoun. 49
For he was late y-come from his viage, 50
And wente for to doon his pilgrimage.
With him ther was his sone, a yong SQUYER,
A lovyer, and a lusty bacheler, 80
With lokkes crulle, 51 as they were leyd in presse.
Of twenty yeer of age he was, I gesse.
Of his stature he was of evene lengthe, 52
And wonderly delivere, 53 and greet of strengthe.
And he hadde been somtyme in chivachye, 54 85
In Flaundres, in Artoys, and Picardye,
And born him wel, as of so litel space, 55
In hope to stonden in his lady 56 grace.
Embrouded was he, as it were a mede
Al ful of fresshe floures, whyte and rede. 90
Singinge he was, or floytinge, 57 al the day;
He was as fresh as is the month of May.
Short was his goune, with sleves longe and wyde.
Wel coude he sitte on hors, and faire ryde.
He coude songes make and wel endyte, 58 95
Iuste and eek daunce, and wel purtreye and wryte.
So hote he lovede, that by nightertale 59
He sleep namore than doth a nightingale.
Curteys he was, lowly, and servisable,
And carf 60 biforn his fader at the table. 100
A YEMAN hadde he, 61 and servaunts namo 62
At that tyme, for him liste 63 ryde so;
And he was clad in cote and hood of grene;
A sheef 64 of pecok arwes brighte and kene
Under his belt he bar ful thriftily, 105
(Wel coude he dresse his takel yemanly:
His arwes drouped noght with fetheres lowe),
And in his hand he bar a mighty bowe.
A not-heed 65 hadde he, with a broun visage.
Of wode-craft wel coude 66 he al the usage. 110
Upon his arm he bar a gay bracer, 67
And by his syde a swerd and a bokeler,
And on that other syde a gay daggere,
Harneised 68 wel, and sharp as point of spere;
A Cristofre 69 on his brest of silver shene 115
An horn he bar, the bawdrik 70 was of grene;
A forster was he, soothly, as I gesse.
Ther was also a Nonne, a PRIORESSE,
That of hir smyling was ful simple and coy;
Hir gretteste ooth was but by seynt Loy; 71 120
And she was cleped 72 madame Eglentyne.
Ful wel she song the service divyne,
Entuned in hir nose ful semely;
And Frensh she spak ful faire and fetisly, 73
After the scole of Stratford atte Bowe, 74 125
For Frensh of Paris was to hir unknowe.
At mete wel y-taught was she with-alle;
She leet no morsel from hir lippes falle,
Ne wette hir fingres in hir sauce depe.
Wel coude she carie a morsel, and wel kepe, 130
That no drope ne fille up-on hir brest.
In curteisye was set ful moche hir lest. 75
Hir over lippe 76 wyped she so clene,
That in hir coppe was no ferthing 77 sene
Of grece, whan she dronken hadde hir draughte. 135
Ful semely after hir mete she raughte, 78
And sikerly 79 she was of greet disport, 80
And ful plesaunt, and amiable of port,
And peyned hir to countrefete chere 81
Of court, and been estatlich 82 of manere, 140
And to ben holden digne 83 of reverence.
But, for to speken of hir conscience, 84
She was so charitable and so pitous,
She wolde wepe, if that she sawe a mous
Caught in a trappe, if it were deed or bledde. 145
Of smale houndes had she, that she fedde
With rosted flesh, or milk and wastel breed. 85
But sore weep she if oon of hem were deed,
Or if men smoot it with a yerde 86 smerte:
And al was conscience 87 and tendre herte. 150
Ful semely 88 hir wimpel 89 pinched 90 was;
Hir nose tretys; 91 hir eyen greye as glas;
Hir mouth ful smal, and ther-to softe and reed;
But sikerly she hadde a fair forheed.
It was almost a spanne brood, I trowe; 155
For, hardily, 92 she was nat undergrowe.
Ful fetis 93 was hir cloke, as I was war.
Of smal coral aboute hir arm she bar
A peire 94 of bedes, gauded 95 al with grene;
And ther-on heng a broche of gold ful shene, 160
On which ther was first write a crowned A,
And after, Amor vincit omnia. 96
Another NONNE with hir hadde she,
That was hir chapeleyne, and PREESTES thre.
A MONK ther was, a fair for the maistrye, 97 165
An out-rydere, 98 that lovede venerye; 99
A manly man, to been an abbot able.
Ful many a deyntee hors hadde he in stable:
And, whan he rood, men mighte his brydel here
Ginglen in a whistling wynd as clere, 170
And eek as loude as dooth the chapel-belle,
Ther-as 100 this lord was keper of the celle. 101
The reule of seint Maure or of seint Beneit,
By-cause that it was old and som-del streit, 102
This ilke monk leet olde thinges pace, 175
And held after the newe world the space.
He yaf 103 nat of that text a pulled 104 hen,
That seith, that hunters been nat holy men;
Ne that a monk, whan he is cloisterlees 105
Is likned til a fish that is waterlees; 180
This is to seyn, a monk out of his cloistre.
But thilke text held he nat worth an oistre.
And I seyde his opinioun was good.
What sholde he studie, and make him-selven wood, 106
Upon a book in cloistre alwey to poure, 185
Or swinken 107 with his handes, and laboure,
As Austin bit? 108 How shal the world be served?
Lat Austin have his swink to him reserved.
Therfor he was a pricasour 109 aright;
Grehoundes he hadde, as swifte as fowel in flight; 190
Of priking 110 and of hunting for the hare
Was al his lust, for no cost wolde he spare.
I seigh 111 his sleves purfiled 112 at the hond
With grys, 113 and that the fyneste of a lond;
And, for to festne his hood under his chin, 195
He hadde of gold y-wroght a curious pin:
A love-knot in the gretter ende ther was.
His heed was balled, that shoon as any glas,
And eek his face, as he hadde been anoint.
He was a lord ful fat and in good point; 114

The Bait
BY JOHN DONNE
Come live with me, and be my love,
And we will some new pleasures prove
Of golden sands, and crystal brooks,
With silken lines, and silver hooks.

There will the river whispering run
Warm'd by thy eyes, more than the sun;
And there the 'enamour'd fish will stay,
Begging themselves they may betray.

When thou wilt swim in that live bath,
Each fish, which every channel hath,
Will amorously to thee swim,
Gladder to catch thee, than thou him.

If thou, to be so seen, be'st loth,
By sun or moon, thou dark'nest both,
And if myself have leave to see,
I need not their light having thee.

Let others freeze with angling reeds,
And cut their legs with shells and weeds,
Or treacherously poor fish beset,
With strangling snare, or windowy net.

Let coarse bold hands from slimy nest
The bedded fish in banks out-wrest;
Or curious traitors, sleeve-silk flies,
Bewitch poor fishes' wand'ring eyes.

For thee, thou need'st no such deceit,
For thou thyself art thine own bait:
That fish, that is not catch'd thereby,
Alas, is wiser far than I.

I do realize those in actual tech are some what insulated from these issues, but the cancer comes from where you are now.

Then stop insulting them.

lol

Guy's definitely some kind of narcissist. He can't tell the difference between a gently worded critique and a personal attack, then there's how everything is the fault of some bogeyman, the projecting, lack of self-awareness, lack of empathy, and the complete imperviousness to rationality. Trying to hold any kind of conversation with him is completely pointless. Just as you think you're getting somewhere he completely disregards your meaning and interjects with some bullshit about rape culture or something else completely irrelevant to everyone but him and the handful like him.

Get help Max. I know you won't, but do it anyway.

"ground zero?" lol.

I haven't seen a single mention of this, anywhere, in my daily life, at all, throughout town, on the local news, or you know, this "little local college campus" where I work on a daily basis.

go outside.

OMG! I don't want to get figurative cancer! Save me!

Well then I have just the cure! Simply be the biggest prick you can possibly imagine, then when people tell you to stop being a huge fucking tool, have it feed your massive and massively unjustified persecution complex! Then use that persecution complex to fuel further being a shitty human being. It's the only way to be completely safe from self-awareness or at all receptive to valid criticism, because now all that is just more persecution against poor little you!

 

[mikeymikec]

Hey, I'm not the one who wants to subjugate, sterilize, and/or euthanize the other gender. Not all feminists may want this, but some of their biggest leaders sure do.

And Blue_Max can no longer sit back and allow feminist infiltration, feminist indoctrination, feminist subversion and the international feminist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids!

Ooooooo lookit' that! s/he's tryin'ta hurt my feelings by callin' me names.
AND call me a shitty human being for not accepting feminism.
And call their criticism "valid" because it's they're the ones doing it.
And make up some shit about a "persecution complex" to deflect the fact you just did plenty of persecuting...

...yet all rebuttals, silly or sensible, are completely ignored because anyone who opposes feminism or calls out the bullshit is OBVIOUSLY a terrible person.

And Blue_Max can no longer sit back and allow feminist infiltration, feminist indoctrination, feminist subversion and the international feminist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids!

I almost didn't hear you over the squishing of petroleum jelly in my cowboy boots...

Especially that one guy who allegedly stole his mother's Prius and crashed it on his way to street race Brianna Wu.

Either that or he's on a different level sort of like an Andy Kauffman of youtube.

Guess Jace Connors was actually more of an Andy Kauffman

all you have to do is search "jace connors fake" in google and you'll find enough information about it.

Seems like people from both sides of the issue are pissed at him according to the information I saw.

aside from that...

Buzzfeed's article combed through and posted examples of Rankowski's many online videos over the years; his brand of "humor" could be described as acerbic at best—and, quite frankly, low-rent Tom Green at worst. He pointed to these videos as proof that he was not actually sending threats to Wu and other game designers and critics: "The Jace character was just a lens through which I do satire. YouTube streamers, Call of Duty gamers. GamerGate was the next in a long line."

In its follow-up article on the Conners videos, Jezebel reached out to Brianna Wu, who made it clear that she was not laughing. "If this person thinks they can throw up their hands and say, 'Whoa, whoa, this is just a joke, people, I'm sorry,' this isn't Grand Theft Auto," Wu said. "You can't threaten to murder people and think there are no consequences and you can take it back. My suggestion to him is to lawyer up."

Just a joke... :thumbsdown:
