It's pretty well proven at this point that nobody was sleeping with journalists for favorable coverage of her game.
It's nearly impossible to prove a negative, but none of the evidence against bribery counters the evidence supporting bribery and collusion. Why were several journalists contributing to Zoe Quinn's Patreon account before writing about her game? Even if they're just platonic friends, it's deeply immoral to give rave reviews and awards to your friend for her game just because she's your friend. That's not journalism. That's corruption.

Most sites have caved to GamerGate demands. Sites like Kotaku now have ethics policies that explicitly forbid writers from having relationships, business or pleasure, with any developer they write about.

Your lack of self awareness is entertaining as always.

Taking the usual feminist/SJW approach... the only argument made to counter mine is to throw a desperate insult in hopes of nullifying public opinion, or swing that public opinion away from me and to your cause.

I briefly discussed how the aggressive approach of feminists/SJWs is particularly effective in populations that don't like conflict.

BE SPECIFIC as to how I'm "lacking self-awareness" in this area.

Or are you just going to call me a "big dummy loser who can't get laid" instead? *sigh*

How dare you insist that journalists separate their personal and business lives. Next you'll say crazy things like the FDA shouldn't rely on Monsanto-funded studies to prove the safety of Monsanto products. Conflict of interest is how you know the study is completely unbiased.

Our media is so broken that people forget what free press looks like. Just look at our government. You need to be invited to the white house to ask questions. If you ask too many questions or make someone look bad, you don't get invited back. The media ends up looking a bit like Lemon Party, and people start to think that's how journalism is supposed to work. I blow you and you blow me, right? Is that how this press thing works? I can give gaming awards to my personal friends?

I had an Israeli flag earlier this year (but so do several other posters.) I've been an atheist since I realized Santa Clause wasn't real.

Ah, okay. I probably confused you with another poster who had the same avatar then. Sorry again.

I very very strongly doubt that someone in Zoe Quinn's position would want to bribe someone like Nathan Grayson with sex in exchange for good reviews. I'm really amazed that anyone actually jumped to that conclusion from what her ex revealed. The two obviously were close for a long time and their relationship eventually turned sexual. That much is also pretty well supported by everything. A lot of people do apparently outright deny there's any problem with writing articles about your friends or lovers (without disclosure no less), and when people don't understand why people would take issue with something they tend to insist it's just a cover for something more shitty.

You could not be more partisanly bullshit if you tried any more.

Well ok you certainly could do so actually.

And I am sure you would do so willingly for sure.

It's pretty well proven at this point that nobody was sleeping with journalists for favorable coverage of her game. These "game journalists" are defintely scumbags who have less interest in games than they do promoting their left wing agenda, but let's not cloud the issue with falsehoods. Fact is, these "journalists" are the losers who couldn't get into real media which is what they really wanted, so they could push their agenda there. Instead, they accidentally ended up in games journalism because it was a job that paid, and they decided they were going to push their agenda on people who weren't interested in it. It backfired.

I don't care about "integrity in games journalism" because I haven't relied on them for information about games since I canceled EGM, or whatever print mag I last subscribed to. My only interest is in seeing the SJW mindset of the anti-GamerGate bandwagoners stamped out, because I detest what they do to society. I knew nothing of SJWs until GG was a thing, but after doing more reading and finding out what they do to every culture they infect, I was flabbergasted that somehow these freaks are given a pulpit to bully from. They try to destroy everything they touch, using censorship and shaming to cow others into agreeing with their radical agenda. They're exactly like the religious right wing crusaders who attempt to silence anybody who disagrees with them, they're left wing fascists and a lot of people still seem to think they're harmless. They're not. Fortunately even liberals (decent liberals, not the radical idiots and their otherkin headmates) are starting to realize that this radical left wing nonsense is dangerous.

GG is a sideshow, and I'm happy to see the SJWs show themselves a fool, but the real issue is far bigger and more important.

Weren't you complaining before about the hatred you think democrats spew on this board?

When it's hard to tell the difference between things said by the left wing's most hated racist website and people who are supposedly fighting for "social justice", you know something is amiss.

Hatred of SJWs? Sure. I'm OK with that.

Tell me, do you think YOU spew hate?

I certainly have contempt for some of the more aggressively ignorant people on here, and I assume that could be taken as "spewing hate".

Then again, I'm not the one complaining about how other people do it. You frequently unleash vitriolic rants at people so it just seemed strange for you to complain about it.

Sure, I mean, how DARE some people not accept your views as good/right/noble/just? When they post mountains of sound, solid evidence as to why they believe what they do (and why you're usually wrong) you retort with angry outbursts of name-calling, bold-faced lies, and ridiculously-poor deflections of "I know you are but what am I?"

I suppose that makes sense, since you have no evidence of your own to support your views - only popular rhetoric spewed by gender studies professors everywhere and repeated ad nauseum. Every solid debunking just makes you mad as hell - cognitive dissonance will do that.

Ashley Burch(voice actress sjw), Rosalind Wiseman(mean girls) are continuing to push their narrative and shoddy studies. Going from that GDC talk to
pushing it in the "miss representation" project run by Jennifer Newsom, who made the substance free "miss representation" doc in 2011 which pushed out the "you can't be what you can't see" line you might have heard going around.
Newsom of course is Gavin Newsom's wife, San Francisco's former Mayor. All these people are connected in a clique...


Their "sneak peek" met a rather negative reception

The message was origianlly pushed at the GDC a few months back. Gamasutra is still pushing the violence narrative, and of course they are both owned by UBM which has their hands in everything.

Is that why Nathan Grayson's name is mentioned in the credits of Depression Quest?
I don't know why people doubt this happening. Here is a mirror of an article written by Nathan himself:
https://archive.is/haXDE#selection-3957.110-3957.247
In another panel, activist Randi Harper, game producer Alex Lifschitz, game developer Zoe Quinn (disclosure: we briefly dated last year),

Things like this were only disclosed after GamerGate started.

I wonder if anyone has tried Stormfront or GGer? Although that would probably be impossible to guess since its going to be the same text between the two.
Can you find even 1 example of a GGer supporting systematic extermination of an entire race?

I can find tons of examples of SJWs calling for genocide. Some people have started collecting them and replacing "men" or "white" with "Jew" just to see what it looks like:

Here's why social justice as a fashion statement* a joke, and these idiots need to be shouted down for the fucktards they are. Because in a system where Social Justice Warriors have the loudest voices, this kind of shit qualifies as news:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/amandla-stenberg-kylie-jenner_55a28697e4b0ecec71bc5141

* Because that's what is to these SJW twats, they don't want social justice they want attention.
Wait, not calling her and mom out for obvious major facial surgery and bolt-ons (as a minor, and all unnecessary), the really bad tan, living on instagram, etc., but a hair style? Um...

Culture can either be kept secret, or shared. If you want others to know aspects of your culture, they are no longer yours to keep. 'Murrican melting pot and all that, dontchaknow? Neither attentionwhoritis, nor funkneurosis (~23 years old, but quite relevant to this issue :)), are an affront to any cultural background.

I felt a great disturbance in the force, as if billions of tentacles had been separated from the bodies they swung from.
