Gamergate III: Rise of the Machines

[Optimus Prime]

To use an analogy from urban fantasy; they shattered the masquerade. The monsters only persist as they were because the normal people were not aware and now they must capitulate or be cast down. They can't stand before a mob and don't have any preturnatural advantage, which means their prospects are even worse.

Holy fucking shit.

Guys, They Live was not a film about rampant commercialism.

IT WAS ABOUT HOW SJWS WORMED THEIR WAY INTO ALL FORMS OF MEDIA.

Also explains why Wu is so fucking ugly - the disguise device apparently is malfunctioning.

but what if both sides of the story are really really really stupid?

when I play GTA, I will always be able to murder hookers and what else is there in life?

Strange, when you say you play a game called Grand Theft Auto, you make it sound like you can not commit Grand Theft Auto in it.

Or, in other words, you're telling me you can not steal cars in a game literally named after a term describing somebody stealing cars.

But the funniest thing here is that's not even the most blatant example of actively going out and murdering people in a GTA like game. Like, if you even knew what Saints Row was, you would know damn well that series encourages players to hunt down and murder the shit out of people in mascot costumes. And also you can make all your gang members that appear to support you in street battles be assault rifle armed, scantily clad prostitutes and people in gimp suits.

actually, let me tell you what really annoys me about this, ok?

I find it annoying that two groups of people in a pissing match over god damned videogames talk about themselves like they are great martyrs for the most noble cause

there is no noble fight. this is a genre casually referred to as games.

and I swear to god it's ridiculous getting caught in the middle of it

do you seemingly oppose gamergate? you're a retarded SJW obviously lol trigger warning trigger warning
do you seemingly favor gamergate? you are obviously a MRA that hates all women you misogynist fuckstick

because yes, I do keep getting caught in the middle of it. and if I give any support whatsoever to one side or the other, I am suddenly the leader of that group lol.

it's so much drama to be caught in over games.

how about something we can all protest? like how shitty the writing is in every game ever released! I'm telling you, these are not Shakespearian masterworks. if we are paying out the ass for them they should at least be decently written.

Four words:

stop. giving. a. shit.

You said it yourself; it's only just "videogames." If you don't want to be a part of it, then don't. Millions of people on the face of the Earth don't give two shits about any of this and they're living just fine, so don't act like it's impossible for you to do so, also.

 

[Red_Rager]

In my everyday life, people are not giving a shit about gamergate. They don't even know what gamergate is and these are your average Joes on the street. You can do it too. Just stop paying attention to gamergate or reading anything about it. With the exception of this thread, I am spending the grand portion of my time not thinking about gamergate. Chatting in this thread with the kiwis is the extent of my "involvement". You are only as involved with it as you choose to be involved with the exception, as other people noted, of being in a position where you should be paying attention because it directly affects you.

 

[SJWs are cool]

u guys are pretty harsh

I'm not even against you, actually

and lol, I am a gamer, interested in gaming culture, and more likely to be friends with you if you are also a gamer into gaming culture

it's a fight that is inconvenient as a person caught between extremes

I'm not even saying you are *wrong*

The thing is you don't have to be directly involved. Are there zealots on both sides of the discussion? Yes, but if someone tries to force you to 'pick a side' tell them to suck on your plasma cannon. Just buy and play the kinds of games you like and let the free market work its magic.

So let me get this straight, you don't like gators, you don't like antis, you don't like videogames, you don't like lol cows and you've never seen, heard or been bothered a gator in real life...

Why are you even here?

I wish it were so easy.

Just when you thought they were out, they puuuull you back in? It is so easy. It's as easy as not posting in threads dedicated to an issue you don't care about. It's as easy as not expressing your chucklefuck opinion all over twitter on said issue. It's as easy as not 'searching for gg's in the wild'. Nobody is dragging anybody into this except the poor bastards whose livelihoods depend on this bullshit. Everyone else can say "lol i don't care". You're just some guy. No normal person would care what your opinion on this is, and if some massively autistic spastic decides to 'pull you into it' by demanding you take a side, you just say "lol i don't care".

You're not being pulled into this. No random spergs on the internet are being pulled into this. You're coming here by your own volition to give us all your chucklefuck opinion on the matter. And that's fine. I've given my chucklefuck opinion here. Jaimas has given his chucklefuck opinion. CatParty has given his chucklefuck opinion. Nobody asked us for them, and nobody fucking cares. None of us were pulled in, and all of us can leave any time we want with a resounding "lol i don't care". It's so easy, dude.

I honestly think that SJWs are cool is either some troll or an actual SJW trying to derail this thread. If it is the latter of the two then please Sjws are cool go away. Your kind is not welcome in this thread.

EDIT: I apologize for this comment. Shouldn't have wrote this at all.

Everyone is welcome to the discussion, just prepare to be mocked if you start 'tarding out (no matter what your opinion is).

Good point. Sorry for my previous comment.

My apologies, sir. This @SJWs are cool person was posting some goofy stuff, so I thought perhaps you were trying a new method of trolling the thread.
(Didn't seem like a very good attempt, but everyone has their off days)

 

[Problematic Kawaii]

Is there ANY mainstream game that they have nice things to say about?

If the devs didn't pay them or praise Goddess Anita, no.

 

[MiloWuCollusion]

Anita bitching about Rise badge sounded like the last straw that would make people realize she is full of shit... Then the posters happened.

Whatever was a stupid troll (given that someone in Haf thought it was a good idea posting the HappyJewAnita as a joke) or false flag (as this and the poster killed any possibility of discussing about Anita beyond martyr) is truly depressing .

Whatever any GG was involved, is truly clear that is a good scapegoat to kill any wrongdoing of the usual suspects. NeoGaf killed a thread that pointed Anita complaining about a badge (with a good dis is of SJW posters dog piling a stupid comment) and leave the "Anita is again harassed ; - ; ... Come for the Bans or the half hearted support"

It'll just take time. Eventually people will wise up over the bullshit as long as GG consistently remains alive and proving them wrong. If they continue in their current trend it won't matter if someone threw paint on her, they hurt themselves a lot with this E3 bickering and showing they're no different than all the moral crusaders of ages past.

The poster isn't all that bad imo; they could have been so much more offensive, and instead you get a name-call on the company and a rehash of an old meme. No stabbing photoshop to shock people into a hate brigade, just some lame-looking poster.

[OTHER NEWS]: A Deus Ex dev has reached out to KiA after there was backlash to Deus Ex: Mankind Divided:

https://archive.is/DmFfn
https://archive.is/3rcwI

Never noticed this message over the top of the /gamergatehq/ board:

Adelaide​

On Tuesday, June 16, 8ch was in receipt of around ten takedown notices for a single thread on the /aus/ Australia board for offenses ranging from "child pornography" to "revenge porn".

The thread was >>>/aus/16660 ( archived: https://archive.is/KSZZF ). I rapidly reviewed the thread and came to the conclusion that no child porn had been posted on the site, and that if any revenge porn had been, it would need to be deleted through the proper channels. That is, as always, photos would only be removed with properly executed DMCAs.

The copyright on photographs is quite an interesting subject, because the copyright of a photograph always belongs to the person who took it. So, for a selfie, the subject and owner of the photo are the same, but in almost all other cases this is not true.

When I informed the people in the thread of their situation, and that they could in fact get their photos removed with a DMCA, they went hilariously ballistic and even got into local publications in Adelaide, one (paywall), two (paywall) and three.

After a bit more email back and forth with one of the "victims" (I use this loosely, we're implying that a woman who smiled with her tits uncovered is at one time strong and empowered and another time a victim, of course) I discovered the actual crux of their complaints, which was hilarious to me.

The women sending me emails were not complaining to me about photos uploaded on 8chan at all, but actually were complaining to me about a screenshot of a directory listing of an unknown third party's local computer that that third party had posted on 8chan, shown below.

(archived https://archive.is/piUcQ )

As was obvious to me but seemingly not the Australian "Press" or the Australian Thought Police, we do not have the power to delete things off of people's local computers, only photos uploaded onto our servers.

The board creator of /aus/ deleted many more photos than I would have myself of those actually uploaded in the thread, but him being Australian and afraid of SAPOL caused him to do so (God help him, for that Prison Island resembles Orwell's Airstrip One more with each passing day).

Indeed, you will probably never get the photos you are trying to suppress totally deleted from every website in existence, that's the cost of being a slut.

However, you can get them deleted from 8ch provided they are actually uploaded, and not just a picture of someone's directory listing is uploaded and provided that you follow protocol, which means emailing or mailing in a DMCA request.

Thanks for the laugh Australia, it was sorely needed after some events of the past week.

As an Aussie myself, I lol'd hard at the Orwellian allusion.
