I just wish this JT didn't look like a total dysgenic. He's a dead ringer for the star wars trailer guy with the weird facial mole.
Anyway, hopefully he gets his shit together and hosts his website more competently. Tracking publicfiggers with relevant information pertaining to weird/malevolent shit they're promoting...is actually a productive thing? Makes me wish there was something like this for politicians that keeps track of their campaign promises and how they end up actually voting on public policy.
 
On what grounds?

A theme i'm noticing with these shitheads is that they REALLY HATE people paying attention to their actions.

Modern urinalists are now against pretty much all forms of free information.

You think you hate journalists enough but you really don't. And then there's games journalists who are somehow even worse.

I've come to understand that it can never actually be enough!

It's really hard to overstate how few people know how to competently self-host. The fact that all major hosting platforms are incredibly pozzed significantly harms freedom of information and the average person's ability to publish.

I was actually just sort of wondering myself the other week "how does one just have their own website anyway". I didn't grow up with internet in the house back when I feel like that was a much more common thing (late 90's early 00's)

Yahtzee was always woke. Ever watched his videos? All lefty Family Guy level humor. He was however smart enough to not virtue signal his politics outside of his videos.

Yahtzee was a fresh breath of air when he started making videos in 2007, in an era that was dominated by sites like IGN/Gamespot with only webcomics like Penny Arcade being outliers. But of course it was clear he was leftist early on, most of the industry whether they be actual developers or game critics were always leftist, that was a given. The only difference is that the prevalence of social media during the early 2010's that made that much more evident and came in tandem with the slang term 'woke' Yahtzee though has always never strayed too far from his snide remarks here or there in his videos and usually has kept the same vibe with him throughout the years, unlike so many of his comtemparies who've gone insane (Jim Sterling) and made that their entire life.

She hasn't worked on them in a while, seems like Holowka's death pretty much is what blacklisted her from the industry alongside her kickstarter scam that she probably spent all on drugs and body modifications.

The last time Zoe Quinn had money, she spent it on 3D printer crap, and an airplane trip to the FFXIV Fan Festival in Las Vegas.

You're obviously not an old school Yahtzee fan. I'll just quote myself here:



Useful ammunition to use if he ever goes full woke to point out his hypocrisy and get him cancelled by his own side. It might have been twenty years ago but that's never stopped the regressive left before.

The left are very forgiving if you kneel completely. "I apologize for bigotry and will do better. Trans rights!" Then he's good, seen it all before. Look at Jimmy Kimmel, he deepthroats Democrat cock now but was definitely not woke before as a host of The Man Show.

I've already seen Yahtzee say some woke shit, he's just not heavy on it, at least in his videos. I'm sure he's got pronouns in his bio like the rest.

Short version if you don't know how to do much: register a domain (you can't really "buy" one since they're only ever rented, never owned), bang up a web page (there's countless tools to help you write and produce a static web site), rent a web hosting account, hook your domain to it, and shove the static content onto the server you're given access to.

If you do know what you're doing: register a domain, rent (or colocate) a server, spin up an nginx front end (web server), stick your content behind it (either static or dynamic w/nodejs, php, python or whatever), point your domain to it, and pray to god nobody decides to DDoS you to drive up your bandwidth costs or knock you offline.

That's for "my first web site" and honestly is plenty for most purposes. It gets more complicated from there -- databases, load balancing, backend APIs, front ends to talk to them, DDoS mitigation, firewalling/WAF, scaling, you name it. There's so many pieces you can add to a stack -- many of which bad actors can attack.
 
Already found that the second article on smashjt.com is unarchived, so I'm going to go through and see how many I can grab before I get bored.

Edit: As far as I can tell, the actual Kotaku Detected page doesn't archive well on Archive.today, Ghostarchive, or Internet Archive, probably because of frames or some weird shit. But there is a copy saved from a Google Cache (a service not long for this world btw) that has the info.

He wasn't woke back then. I remember a podcast where he talks more frankly about stuff while playing a game. I remember one where he played the Rise of the Triad remake coming up a few times (I forget why, I think he shittalks moviebob in it).

Hopefully not, can't trust those faggots with anything but copyrighted media.

I don't even search for torrents first anymore, I just Google search "internet archive" or "wayback machine" and then the title of whatever media I'm looking for. 7 times out of 10 its on there.

The way it was worded I was concerned they used the way back machine..
 
Now that it’s back up, local archives should be made.

Here is of the Kotaku Detected page specifically, there might be more across the SmashJT.com site that should be, such as blog posts.
Notably the Kotaku Detected page links, from the few that I checked, all go to youtube (jewtube) so archival mirroring of the videos here to the farms, and odysee/rumble/kick/gab would be good preemptive action.

Which bio? This one?

I don't see any pronouns there.

No they aren't. They might be willing to use you as a useful idiot but stray from the plantation one time and they will destroy you, and they'll use anything in your past to do it. JK Rowling's a prime fucking example. Rowling was in lockstep with practically every element of the current leftist agenda. It's only when she came out and declared that transgenderism was a bridge too far that they turned on her. Or look at Graham Linehan. Was one of the most prominent anti-GamerGate voices on Twatter, one of the biggest twats on twatter too. Then he did the same as JK, came out and said transgenderism was a bridge too far, and now he's a pariah.

If you watch Yahtzee's Let's Drown Outs you'll see that he understands, and despises, this key ingredient of the social justice ideology. If he's softened in more recent years it's probably because marriage, kids and moving to San Francisco (the fucking bugman hive of these people) has softened him

It's not literal, it's like calling someone a blue haired libtard, even if they don't actually have blue hair.

If Rowling saw the light on transgenderism and became a trans rights activist you better believe they'd be glad to have her back onboard.

I recall him shitting on Rowling so he's definitely doing what he despises then.

No they wouldn't. They'd keep her at arms length until the next time she went off the plantation, at which point they would bring back up all her previous sins in an attempt to bury her

You act like we haven't seen this phenomenon before. The modern leftard philosophy is a lot like the movie Mean Girls (which is fitting because it's a woman's ideology). They might be all smiles and sunshine on the outside but on the inside they're constantly looking for an opportunity and excuse to destroy each other.

I can't remember what he's said about transgenders specifically (if anything). It's probably important to note that he's still friends (or friendly) with Jim Sterling, despite Jim Sterling being the perfect example of everything that's wrong with the modern transgender movement.

Best I can say is that, from his history, he doesn't subscribe to the whole pronoun nonsense
