And so it begins. I was wondering how long it would take the media to turn Kavanaugh into a goobergator. @Jaimas @GethN7 get in here.

I'm friends with people whose views I don't share, what the hell does that imply about me then?

These people aren't just grasping at straws, they are inventing them out of whole cloth now.

And how many of Zoe Quinn's friends and associates were outed as creepy sex perverts? Like at least a dozen by this point, right? But that's an unfair comparison given Zoe Quinn has never once been accused of sexual assault before, ever! Not even once! Just uh take my word for it here ok there definitely aren't archived tweets easily found ok why do you hate women so much?

Moving on from not digging up accusations (that definitely don't exist) of Yas Kween Slay being a creepy sex pervert the mentions of the autist that posted the original tweet leading to that thread are about as intelligent as you'd expect.

Ethics XDXDDXXDXDDDXXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD.png


If only there was some sort of term you could use to describe people cracking 5 year old jokes that weren't even funny the first time they were made.

Like I unno, :autism: or something.

Ethics XDXDDXXDXDDDXXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD1.png


He then proceeds to sperg about someone saying "kek" because as a sophisticated individual who applauds "it's about ethics XD" jokes in 2018 he clearly has no time for anything but the most highbrow of comedy on his timeline.

I wish I could go back in time and make sure GamerGate never happened, seeing this shit makes me regret it ever occurred because there are so many people who refuse to let it die already.

Why? Seeing people mention GamerGate as if it's still happening in 2018 is one of the best ways to find lolcows.

Very true, but as a veteran of the Autism Holy War, I would rather not fight that shit again. It's over, it's dead, and it's finished, or least it is for anyone who gave a damn at one point, let the dead rest and move on with life is my take on it.

It even gets a kick out of established cows and spergs. One example being when GOG tweeted Postal 2 with a gif that had a in-game tombstone saying RIP game journalism. It was enough piss off a bunch of spergs who think somehow GOG truly cared about GG.

Example of such sperging:
Bitching about GG a few months back despite it being dead.

At this point, one can just simply laugh at spergs thinking GG was anything more than just autistic screeching over video games while rolling eyes at people trying to make jokes at it when a simple statement like "LOL electronic toys" would be a funnier way of taking a piss at the target.

I know I've mentioned this before somewhere, but I have to wonder what it will be like in 40-50 years from now. Will these idiots still be going on about GamerGate in the retirement home, calling the nurse a GooberGoblin because the custard was a little thick on their chocolate sponge? Even 20 years from now, are we going to see devs who were still in school in 2014 branded as GamerGate alt-right nazis because they once laughed at a game journalist failing to get past the tutorial in Kingdom Come 5?

Oof, I remember that shit. Were you that guy with the same username and the medium.com blogs? That's three years ago from now, still remember all the wikipedia drama and the early tards like Arthur Chu and double dragon

Yes, it was I, and even I have declared the battle long over, but places like ResetERA refuse to give the corpses from said battle a proper burial because they just can't let go.

Now I just laugh at the idiots who still take this autism seriously. Shit, even I was a bit too invested and I laugh at myself for it now.

Admittedly I was invested quite a lot as well. Not enough to create content, but I spent so much time while in University reading on reddit and 4chan about that shit and what was happening. Was my introduction honestly to spergdom, before that I'd been mostly a casual internet user mostly watching video game content. Personally I think I moved on around late 2015 as the US election made the whole thing small fry by comparison.

I think it was worth taking seriously, at least within reason. There are times where criticism of game journalism is still worth doing. Especially when cronyism and corruption is involved. But I think at this point game journalism is so discredited that only the SJW types and out of touch publishers listen to them. We've come a long way since the days when "Half-Life wins over 50 game of the year awards!" actually meant something.

Gamergate itself is over, now we're just waiting for the momentum to finish them off. GetWokeGoBroke is kicking companies like EA and Ubisoft in the balls, and they will either course correct or die. Meanwhile, game journalists are shoving controllers up their own arses for clicks, using copy pasted "X is the Dark Souls of Y" headlines, and are incapable of beating a tutorial of a game without a dev standing beside them to walk them through it. While I personally underestimated the amount of connections and favours they have, they're going to run out eventually.

I don't think Gamergate was meant to stop corruption, it had crossed the line from what was expected since people are human, to a straight up mafia racket when the entire games media decided to tell gamers to go fuck themselves with "gamers are dead" to deplatform the gamers that were trying to bring awareness to the issue.

At that point a lot of people got a wake up call that virtually the entire tech news, blogging, marketing, game developer/publisher industry weren't just doing each other favors on the side, they were completely in bed with one another, they didn't care, they were happy about it, and if you called them out it, then you just hated women and wanted them driven from the internet & games forever.

The fact that so many no only went along with it because it helped them and their careers, but many went along with it because they will believe anything the media tells them. Gamergate was about hating women, Ghostusters 2 failed because manbabies hacked the review scores, The Last Jedi got a bad rap because Russian hackers harassed the director. Trump won because there's a large secret contingent of Nazis in the US.

Repeat something enough, and many will just believe it. A real testament to human stupidity. And marketing power.

While gamergate itself was just kind of a stupid little thing with gamers being mad at game review magazines for being essentially advertisers, the fallout is worth remembering and talking about I think.

Yeah sure, most people knew game journalism was crap. But the censorship and rewriting of the narrative, that continues to this day, is definitely something worth looking at. I mean the 'official' story that most people seem to believe (misogynist gamers terrorize women) is so far removed from reality. It's alarming how easy it was for the entire media to all stick with one narrative, while having any dissenters pretty much immediately silenced. They've linked it to politics more and more, so whether you want it or not, stupid ass Gamergate is still relevant, if only because these idiots keep lying about it to try to continue to use it to defame people.

Like, yeah, we'd rather not sperg about video games. But at this point video games are just a piece of background info when it comes to gamergate. I think this is an advantage the left has, in that there are lots of unemployed idiots who just "signal boost" on the internet to push the group narrative forward. I believe the right has less people in that position, although of course there are right wing unemployed morons on the internet...
