was it tho? only a retard would think kotaku and all the other shitrags will go bankrupt over night. same as "vote with your wallet REEE why is EA no imploded yet".
Is the entire industry worse or better since gamergate? We’re picking pronouns for our body type A or body type B characters whilst negroid Russians send us on missions to planets with every shopkeeper tells you about his husband.
I'm not. Because I don't buy overpriced "AAA" games.
It was always going to be a failure because the only people supporting it were dorky autists with no clout unlike Anita or Zoe who had actual social power. The only thing Gamergate succeeded at was turning the awkward edginess of the old internet into the seething hatred of the modern internet.
People still aren't buying these games though. The big sellers are things like Hogwart's Legacy and these people seethe about Gamergate constantly while being unable to put a dent in their profitability. The walking simulators they were pushing still flop.
Sounds like a normal day on /v/ tbh.
I don't know about that, I mean we are just talking about electronic toys. I would say that tptb would have better things to spend their time on than fixing scores of barely known videogames....however it was probably one of those moments, where many things, issues, e-celebs coincided/collided at the same time* in geek culture and that presented itself as an opportunity for tptb.....
....because out of that shitshow (old school) nerds/geeks were relabelled as potential shooters/chuds/alt-righters/dangerous incels etc basically perma-bad guys for whatever the circumstances required, maybe as way to avoid another Occupy Wallstreet and colour certain opinions held by the "perma-bad guys" as definitively "bad". Hell, there's like an element of sin eating, cos IIRC (and correct me if I'm wrong) in some of those slightly later "gamers are dead" articles and tangentially related news articles there was the passing off of "frat boy" crimes and attitudes as nerd crimes and attitudes.
Troonery was one of those other moments that tptb capitalised on to rein in and control nerds.
Moot actually cared about 4chan and was a chantard himself. Hiro is not part of the culture at all. He doesn't get it. Moot did. Moot had has life ruined for years just like Null for hosting the site because he cared about it. He made virtually no profit from the site but still ran it out of passion. The stuff about him secretly loving Antia or fucking Zoe Quinn is weird conspiracy shit some of the more angry gamergate people made up when he left. People were extremely angry with him. I don't blame Moot for leaving at all. The backlash from him censoring GG was way overblown imo.
It's definitely not stopping the vidya butts spammer.
I'm trying to figure out how he's doing it. From what I can tell the the 5 min timer shows up when the cloudflare robot check shows up and switching IP's doesn't actually help
He started dating some leftist chick and started kowtowing to leftist ideology to get laid, it's perfectly understandable what he did but it's not like he's completely innocent.
Personally, I just shitpost and spam in threads until the timer is up before I post, idk what the Vidya butts guy does tho.
Peridotposter from /co/ on suicidewatch rn
Yeah but it doesn't erase what he did before then. Ben Garrison more or less correctly called him out for that cuckoldry. He more or less always hated /pol/ (sort of like how nool hates A&N despite agreeing with at least a fair amount of what they say), but he didn't really get into the serious cuckoldry until he was already on the way out.
He might actually be the person that forced the mods to implement this, the vidya butts poster only posts like 3 threads an hour while the peri spammer wipes entire pages.
I think /a/ might have been the cause. They've been dealing with schizos spamming threads pretty hard and wiping out full pages in the catalog for the last month. Just last week people started spam posting gore, cp, porn, frogs and wojak threads all at the same time for almost two hours before a janny showed up. I think the main issue is that they need better fucking moderation since the retards they have now don't even fucking show up most of the time.
They're too busy grooming kids on Discord and fapping to CP.
