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

[Aikouka]

At least you people have stopped calling so many bomb threats, that is an improvement.

As I talked about above, you do realize that remarks like this are part of the problem, right?

 

[MagickMan]

Please be specific.

Sure.

In other words, its accomplished nothing except to be the butt of jokes.

Ahh, the salty tears from the SJWs. :awe:

 

[Victorian Gray]

Sure.


Ahh, the salty tears from the SJWs. :awe:

Ahh, the salty tears of irrelevant culture warriors.

 

[BoberFett]

Ahh, the salty tears of irrelevant culture warriors.

If they're so irrelevant, why do you, Sarkeesian and all of the other SJW twats spend so much time crying about them?

"Waaaah, people said mean things about me on the interwebz! Muh feelz!"

Various asshats around here keep throwing that 'SJW' label around as if it actually meant something. Apparently the whole world is filled with the EVIL SJWs except for the brave band of little culture warriors fighting for Truth, Justice and the American way.

Meanwhile the rest of the world looks on while wishing the twits would just grow the fuck up and get on with their lives.

And the bolded part really does speak for itself. Apparently the context completely escaped you. Again, the utter lack of self awareness boggles the mind.

You want to know what an SJW is? Here you go:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SA0aKjY8K50

Everything is racist. Everything is sexist. And it's the SJWs job (and it's clearly a lucrative career move at that) to point it out.

The great thing about everything being racist and sexist is that no matter how unracist or unsexist the world gets, everything will still be racist and sexist. That's pretty good job security.

I don't fucking care what an SJW is. They are a small bunch of people with absolutely no real power in the 'real' world. But, according to the culture warriors of gammergate/silly and rabid puppies/and whatever other names they come up with for themselves, the SJWs apparently have all the power in the world.

If you want to make common cause with people like Vox Day (Theodore Beale) and Daryush Valizadeh and local examples like Max, feel free. In the mean time, the rest of the world will continue to look at 'gators' and 'puppies' and either laugh or scratch their heads with bemusement.

I'm not the one crying about the mean old SJWs and how they're fucking up my life. Who is?

SrhButts Nyberg posted a response to the charges of being a pedophile yesterday.
How does one talk their way out of a mountain of evidence of pedophilia?
https://archive.is/0B0lJ

It was a masterful display of how to spin a narrative, even while admitting the logs are real, distorting reality for emotional an appeal.
This user's analysis is dead on.
Its a bit long but its an informative demonstration of how these people work, and why this person is important to the sjws as a propagandist.

The anti Gamergate people jumped on this like a drowning man thrown a rope, anything to save themselves from having associated themselves with and defending a pedo...
Only the narrative matters.

You can't even get your story straight. First it's GamerGaters that have no power, now it's SJWs who have no power? Which group gets smeared by the national media? SJWs or GamerGaters? Which group has sympathetic stories in the national media? SJWs or GamerGaters? Who has institutional power in academia, SJWs or GamerGaters?

LOL, you pathetic wanker, you love to change the story to suit the talking point of the moment.

Are you truly as stupid as you present yourself in this forum?

A pox on both your houses.

 

[MagickMan]

A person can say, "I was being edgy" or "I was trolling" or "It was all make-believe", but the fact (and it is a fact) that Nyberg distributed lude photos of his pre-teen niece tells a different story. You then have to decide, do you believe the evidence or what he/she is saying? My hope is that the FBI will move with haste, there's no telling what that sick bastard has done in the last decade, because that type of behavior doesn't just go away on its own.

That's it? That's all you have? Insults are fun, I like using them too, but occasionally you do need to provide something of substance. Otherwise there's no reason to read your posts at all.

"SJW" is an acronym without meaning to most people, they have no farking idea what it means. If you were to tell them what the letters stand for and ask them to define the people the acronym is supposed to slur from those words, they wouldn't have a clue. It's an insider acronym that derives its meaning from those who created it and embrace it. It's a part of a cause, it proves to them that their movement can actually do something (even if it is to just create an acronym!). It means nothing to anyone else, they're just letters strung together by whiny people who want attention. I notice that many GGers like to dismiss criticism of their cause as "SJW tears", as if what they are doing is upsetting to everyone who criticizes them. The way they use dismissals like this means that they are right and everyone who disagrees with them is a feminist or feminist sympathizer, there's no room for anything else. Black and white, it's that simple to them. They have created the SJW and they have created the SJW tears, all to prove to themselves that they are right and their cause is a just one.

The only way these morons will grow up and move on is when they realize that being a GG gamer doesn't mean you are a special snowflake, it means that you're a kid or an asshole.

Probably both.

Just out of curiosity...As a PC gamer. How is this gamergate thing directly going to effect my PC gaming way of life?. I asked my 18 yr old son about this and he never heard of it. This looks like a bunch of millenials on social media hating and trolling on each other more than anything else.

And, aren't the people that are so into this "threat" of "SJW" social justice warriors themselves?. How does one get labled a SJW?

 

[MagickMan]

Just out of curiosity...As a PC gamer. How is this gamergate thing directly going to effect my PC gaming way of life?

Do you read video game reviews? Do you visit video game-related websites (Kotaku, PC Gamer, Eurogamer, IGN, Escapist, Gamespot)? Do you care if game journalists have been bribed, manipulated, or coerced to give false or misleading information, or to show favoritism towards a specific company or game? If so, Gamergate has already benefitted you.
