Infected r/KotakuinAction & their ResetERA, r/KotakuInAction2 (KiA) - Hypocritical Pedo Weeaboo Gamergate Cucks in Action

[ProgKing of the North]

KiA started out as a subreddit to literally defend a literal cuck so don’t be surprised if they are defending some GG figures.

They didn’t defend Mercedes though.

well yeah, she's a FEEEEMALE

 

[Medicated]

What a bunch of hypocrites.

"Hurr durr ethics!1 Let's protect pro GG criminals! Ethics! Loli!1"

They made rules against threads which have nothing to do with gaming. And yet KIA is full of them while threads about a criminal game journalist are getting censored and deleted.

KIA uses the same tactics as sjw and yet they claim to be so much better.

reddit is designed purposefully to foster a circlejerk community. I'm not surprised this is the end result. You go to almost any subreddit and want to critique something, constructively. 9 times out of 10 you'll get called out for toxicity, hate, trolling etc. That's assuming the mods don't delete your post beforehand.

You are just watching the end result of any subreddit, doesn't matter what subject or cause it is, it eventually will turn into a shitpile of people policing "purity". Because once everyone agrees on everything, there's nothing left to talk about but how to keep your group "pure" and attacking or ousting the "impure".

It's probably a dream for someone who wants to work in PR, you basically get a community of PR footsoldiers who do most of your work for free.

It's all they got, man. Endless sperging, as far as they can see.

Most of them have no actual hope that anything's going to improve or change, they just need to sperg-fight.

They've always been sperg-fighting with Eastasia.

 

[BuckBumble]

The mods basically softbanned self posts and this is closest I've seen them to crumble yet. Half the page is filled with meta threads bitching about the decision.

I haven't seen them this angry since someone tried to take away their loli tiddies.

 

[boulderblundermatt]

I can say for a fact that KIA is basically having a civil war right now.

and my god it's hilarious.

all because the mods are salty about bloodsports. amazing.

 

[Tealeaf]

Self posts. They attacked self posts. Yadda yadda gamers rise up.

While the meltdown is amazing, this may also drive filthy redditors to find alternate forums for their outrage fix. Fortunately A&H can’t get any worse.

 

[Bennett Beeny]

lmao they fought a lunatic trying to outright delete the sub but now the irrepressible urge to spill their hot pockets is gonna do their community in, it's pottery

Subreddits all end up in 3 different ways:

1. The admins ban them
2. The mods kill them with stupid rules and censorship
3. They become too popular and become oversaturated circlejerks

KiA is having a severe case of number 2.
Although the circlejerk has been strong with them for some time...

 

[FireGod365]

I've tried posting on them for so many times and they always delete and eventually banned me.

I've really grown to dislike how certain websites, blogs, and subreddits misappropriate the ideas of George Orwell and 1984, but KiA is by far the worst offender. I am never going to reference Orwell ever in my writing because I don't want to desecrate his ideas any further.

 

[KillThemCrackasBabies]

so tl;dr -After years of them crying about how they just want to talk about issues in vidya (and tangentially related "social issues"), the mods attempted to set new rules to keep the focus on vidya over self-fellating text posts. Despite on its face being what they wanted, the gamers rose up anyway?

Yeah 1984 has basically become the Harry Potter for these types. Like there’s other books you can reference besides 1984. Like for instance Fahrenheit 451 which is all about media censorship

 

[boulderblundermatt]

Jesus they are tearing into any mod that speaks. no wonder they've vanished. they know the moment they speak, they've fucked.

antithesis made that mistake.

Most of them haven’t read 1984 or any book for that matter that wasn’t assigned by a teacher.

The funny thing is, the people most upset about this change weren't fond of bloodsports either...
they were all defending Ian Cheong and whining about toxic bloodsports less than a week ago.

 

[GinStar]

Was KiA ever relevant? I remember lurking over there in the early days and it seemed mostly like a thinly veiled laugh at people group. A mirror to gamerghazi and the other bullshit out there.

Don't be surprised.

KIA's userbase was once much more focused, and while I won't say it was less Autistic, that Autism was focused like a laser beam squarely where it belonged. That was the case even after GG wrapped up in 2015. What happened was that KIA was forced to make multiple concessions to stay open that no other subreddit would reasonably put up with.

By coincidence, these rules also destroyed the ability of the subreddit to call out the worst within it. The first thing those rules did? X out the ability to cite us, Lolcow Wiki, or ED. Second thing those ones did? No posting personal information, even when it was parently obvious an account was a sock or being used to spread misinformation. Again, @GethN7 can tell you more here, but a short version is that several people on KIA either were banned or courted bans for pointing out Brianna Wu was a tranny.

That was the beginning of the end for KIA, since it meant that a community that once aggressively self-policed now was unable to do so until a problem got so bad that the mods couldn't ignore it. They started hemmorhaging their better users immediately, including some of their best data autists. What we're seeing now with this sudden meltdown in the face of the Chungus and Mercedes shitstorms is an event years in the making that most predicted was going to hit in 2016, but somehow managed to be forestalled until 2019.

KIA's had its moments of legitimately good content, especially early in its life, but it's always come in gurgles and with a hearty helping of the 'tism. What happened was the aforementioned community decay - and by 2015 they were slowly spiraling into the direction they're currently at. Like I said, most expected them to hit this phase way earlier than they ultimately did.

@Hackallier is absolutely right in how this all came about.

I brought it up a few months back, idk if it was here or the GG thread, but I personally could tell a huge difference between pre-SVU KiA, and the attitude of the board after it happened. Someone else, (I think you actually) said how, back in the day and especially on 4chan, getting a mainstream reference of any kind of was considered an enormous win and the funniest fucking thing you can imagine. While it was treated that way initially, you could start really tracking the decline between Fun GamerGate and Super Fucking Serious GG from there. There were OPs before, and they still tried to make jokes after, but that was imo the key turning point I think where a lot of them finally realized they were never going to be taken seriously, and it really effected them.

There's nothing that will get a data autist to tell you to fuck the hell off faster than telling them what they can and can't post based on whether it triggers some tranny or whatever they don't give a fuck about.
