I can't find anything, looked through cnn's stuff and google. Just something about a tweet in 2012 about violence in video games.

My daughter and my oldest grandson loved anime. He still watches it. Every one I've seen has been angst-filled and adolescent - but maybe that's just what was on at the time. (Cowboy Bebop, Inyuasha, Ghost in the Shell come to mind.) (Also a Hannah-Barbara level of movement in the animation.) I have a very low tolerance for angst.

Angst-filled? I wonder what you would think of the anime Paranoia Agent.

Probably that the concept of "emotionally cornered" people being attacked by skaters wielding golden bats and thus having their lives improved is abominably silly. And probably that "emotionally cornered" people sounds an awful lot like existential angst, as Spungo called it. http://www.themanime.org/viewreview.php?id=939

Not that my dislike for anime has anything to do with Gamergate, other than being only slightly less irrational than the widespread hatred toward the Gamergate people.

Good job on Gamergate for trying to spread that a critic of Gamergate was involved in the Paris attacks, its that kind of thing that casts such a wonderful light on it. Photoshopping a guy into a bombvest is pretty classy.

Love that developers are finally standing up to Kotaku, that sub-tabloid within the larger Gawker tabloid empire. Maybe one day gaming media will be as ethical as mainstream journalism. (Which is itself a bar so low that one might accidentally stumble over it without even realizing, but still would be an improvement.)

CAUGHT ON TAPE: Lying Campus Feminists Report GamerGater To Police For Non-Existent ‘Threatening Comments’

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZm50_-ghN4

Sjw's in positions of authority, always abuse their power. Calls the police on a student for no justifiable reason.
As for the rest of the presentation, its like an indoctrination session, just "listen and believe". Whoever that man was, he doesn't deserve his faculty position at the university.

I click on that link, then see hidelines next to it about terror in Paris, kids being charged as adults in murder trials, genocide, etc...then ask myself why busy myself with the pablum in the linked story? :p

GamerGate is a microcosm of a wider problem, but on an accelerated time scale. Guess who ends up writing about those other stories you are reading about? The Melissa Clicks of the world run rampant in higher education.

Perhaps you missed two of its 'glorious leaders' bringing the 'great struggle' all the way to the United Nations?

Or every newspaper or TV bit that's ever discussed gamergate?

Or Sarky on the Colbert Show? The special Law & Order 'evil gamers'episode?

ANY of this ringing a bell?

he seems to be profiting quite well from gamergate, not at sarkesian levels yet though

His bread & butter is kicking lying feminists where it hurts - a big factual foot right in the Golden V. :twisted:

Gamergate is a sidetrack for him, wheras it's Sarky's primary source of fuel to fire her uber-fem campaign.

So, is this green-and-purple clad redhead the Kotaku-in-Action (KIA) / GamerGate mascot?

Pretty much, yes.

But it was made for something else. A group called The Fine Young Capitalists was running a crowdfunding project to help get women into game development and one of the pledge tiers allowed the pledger to create a character that'd be used in the game. So 4chan's /v/ basically ran a proxy pledge and got to win the tier.

Sure. Attacks in the mainstream media on the Gamergaters are commonplace. Here are some samples.

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/26/opinion/sunday/the-disheartening-gamergate-campaign.html?_r=0

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/16/t...omen-video-game-threats-anita-sarkeesian.html

http://www.theguardian.com/technolo...buse-feminist-new-york-times-anita-sarkeesian

http://www.newyorker.com/tech/elements/gamergate-scandal-erupts-video-game-community

http://www.latimes.com/opinion/opinion-la/la-ol-anita-sarkeesian-gamergate-20141017-story.html

http://herocomplex.latimes.com/game...oversy-reveals-ugly-side-of-gaming-community/

http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/la-et-milo-yiannopoulos-gamergate-feminists-20151028-story.html

Most amusingly (although hardly surprisingly) in a debate primarily about ethics in journalism, the mainstream media have with the notable exception of Reason done an extremely poor job of reportage, primarily parroting what the accused gaming journalists tell them. Then they are very confused when their "reportage" is dismissed by the majority. Mainstream journalists tend to live in a bubble every bit as much as do gaming journalists.

edit: One more thing: Why should you care? You should care because gaming journalism has ceased to be legitimately and honestly about gaming journalism and has morphed into a progressive social justice warrior league whose members cover their friends and lovers without disclosing that very critical information. It's a self-interest business with a very thin veneer of political correctness. Thus we have a never-ending stream of shit indie games treated like the second coming and shit AAA games rated extremely highly even with game-breaking bugs because those are the journalists' friends and, um, professional friends with benefits. And interspersed with that we have attacks on gamers because our gaming media has become populated with people who hate their audience.

If these journalists are not held to account, then gaming journalism will naturally progress as has the SciFi and fantasy literature journalism, where awards and publicity are meted out within an insular group according to perceived social justice. I don't think anyone other than the SJWs wants to see that.

Well I got interested in the topic after seeing that ridiculous Law & Order episode that painted gamers as literal woman-hating ISIS terrorists.
