GamerGate To Blame For Washington D.C. Protests, Claim Mainstream Video Game Media Personalitie

[Super-Chevy454]

Gamergate will be a bigger event than Nagasaki and Hiroshima or the French revolution at this rate.

Let's add the Russian Revolution or Mao's "Great leap forward" to the list.

And of course, they won't blame Gamergate for the George Floyd riots.

Brianna Wu is a mainstream video game media personality?

Citations needed.

You know Wu is credible and well known because the article even refers to her by name in the headline.

Willing to bet you anything "Mainstream videogame media personality" was a self-description.

 

[Screw Danlon]

Polygon Co-Founder Arthur Gies begged the “mainstream news media people [who] follow me on here” to “apply network resources to observe the lineage between gamergate and today.”

Arthur Gies is such a prissy faggot.

DC Comics author Zoe Quinn pushed back against the claims of her peers, taking issue with the fact that some were not “acknowledging that GG was a symptom of the larger systemic bigotry that has always existed, an extension of DV, and the failure of online platform holders to act right.”

“I really don’t appreciate being used like that!!” she added.

they forgot “Failed” in front of DC Comics author. Also no one’s ‘using’ you by talking about Gamergate. No matter what you think, it isn’t about you, and it never was.

So... did Sargon get his wish in the end?

 

[Dark Edea]

Zoe Quinn deserved her fake abuse.

 

[Salubrious]

I do agree that the Capitol Raid was like Gamergate in that both sides sperged the fuck out and there were no winners.

That's not what Brianna meant though.

It's just a classic example of when the only tool you have is a hammer (Gamergate did it), EVERYTHING becomes a nail.

There's definitely a lot of people who supported gamergate and then went on to support Trump, but that doesn't mean one caused the other. The insanity is how these people view this little bubble of the internet as if everyone in the world is actively following the happenings the way they do. I won't knock anyone for reading Kotaku and Polygon, but its like these people use those sites as their primary source for world news and not just nerd consoomer shit.

GamerGate killed my mother with a bike wheel.

There's definitely a lot of people who supported gamergate and then went on to support Trump, but that doesn't mean one caused the other.

yep, there's a lot of people from the south that supported trump - since Bri Bri is from the south she is a direct cause for trump being elected
(funny, you could probably make that case as bri bri is a polarizing figure who doesn't respect moderates thereby alienating wing voters "directly leading" to Trump being elected)

Bri bri is also a world renowned speed runner and Deer Girl (ferociously steph) points out a lot of "you gamers" are white supremecists. Bri bri is from the south and a gamer so...white supremacist (remember asians are the "good minority" that support white supremacy )

that's the fucked up logic that's being applied

as Biden says about Antifa, these thing are "ideas" -- so it you aren't going to ascribe a profile to antifa, then you can't do so to gamergate without being a hypocrite

there are plenty of liberals who found things like Nathan Grayson titling articles Admission Quest and calling Depression Quest of one the 3 "standouts" games out of a field of 50+ as inappropriate given his personal (sexual or not) relationship with ZQ
Now say someone *cough* found that and the doubling down an ethical breach [and if you look at his recent bullshit etymology of "simp" to frame it as racist, he continues to be unethical] but voted AGAINST trump....are "they" *cough* trumpies?

what about someone who is a registered democrat *cough* who votes in every election but finds Bri Bri to be a liar (and a terrible one at that) and ANTI-progressive serving only their self interest who would be dangerous is they weren't so incompetent so as to not be electable?
Is that person alt-right?even though they consistently vote democrat (local elections notwithstanding b/c there are certain offices where exprience is more important in their execution, judges, coroners, comptrollers, school officials, etc and a lot of fucktards run for those with little qualification - like software engineers with no engineering background)??

GamerGate killed my mother with a bike wheel.

funny you should mention that.
Late afternoon where I live the junkies run out of drug and get all cranky and irritable with one another. About a week ago I saw a great bumfight

Bum 1 was doing the chicken head-bob stick n move
Bum 2 was swinging a tireless bike wheel at Bum 1

I immediately called discovery and pitched "Forged in Phentanyl" a show where junkies have to make weapons out of garbage


I should go on twitter and declare how Gamergate caused the drug epidemic

 

[Optimus Prime]

So a widespread internet controversy over what was corruption in entertainment journalism six years ago and all the major players have either faded into irrelevancy or gone back to their lives, is somehow tied to a bunch of idiots blindly attacking the Capitol in blind mob rage.

Man, at this rate, these people are literally going to be ranting over Gamergate to their deathbeds, and Gamergate ultimately wasn't even that significant in terms of world history. Maybe it just lives in their heads rent-free because it was such a high profile kick in the balls for the SJWs because it made headline news and ultimately nobody came out of it looking good.

Brianna Wu has a personality?

I fixed that for you.

I fixed that for you.

Ha! Well done.

I want to get off Mr.GamerGate's wild ride

 

[Nova Prime]

Wu could say GamerGate is worse than 9/11 and people would legitimately defend that statement.

 

[MarineTrainedTard]

Gamergate in 20 fucking 21

Literally everything is caused by GooberGate:

Shit. This would've been helpful to know at my last doctors appointment.

Several members of the mainstream gaming media, each of their own accord, have hyperbolically asserted that GamerGate is to blame for the unprecedented protest event that took place in Washington D.C. on January 6th.


Former congressional candidate and Revolution 60 developer Brianna Wu, who has previously blamed GamerGate for everything from mass shootings to the election of President Donald Trump, claimed that the events at the U.S. Capitol unfolded because “there weren’t any criminal consequences for Gamergate.”

Yep, it’s a real pity people weren’t executed for saying mean things to John on Twitter.
