I love the fact I can post this without fear of being told I'm being offensive. I can also say ****** without mods banning me.

There's something kind of dodgy about this. I mean, if one guy on FJ is a stupid asshole like me then I can't say 'This stupid asshole is a perfect representation of the community as a whole!'

The reverse is true too, teranin is a pretty good guy who's in GG for all the right reasons but 'We have evidence that GamerGate origins have been gaslit like crazy!" No you don't, you have evidence that this one guy who supports GamerGate is a good guy.

Judging a collective by the actions of 1 person is what every aGGRO does to us, every time, without fail. But... well I guess I already kinda addressed this, but it wasn't just the fact that I was posting that stuff for the right reasons, it's that the statements from the content posts themselves, the grounds for the actions of thousands of people, content that was also posted to GGs other sites of origin, were for the right reasons.

An apt analogy would be that Anti-Gamergate keeps saying people are being injected with mercury and it's causing autism, and Gamergate is saying the few micrograms of mercury is a hyper-small part of the overall vaccine which is being issued to treat polio, the vaccine has nothing to do with autism and the damn scientist who put out the "study" saying it did was proveably corrupt as **** , concept failed in every instance of peer-review, and yet there are still plenty of loud ******** telling people the mercury-shot-causing-autism lie. Mercury being Misogyny, Autism being "kicking women out of the games industry", and vaccinating for polio being bloody Ethics Reform.

Were you there when hintergruff said that if you're Anti-GG then you support the idea that gamers should be sent to death camps? Because it's not just aGGRO's who judge collectives based on individuals. I am liking the 'aGGRO' nickname though.

Also your first sentence contains a pretty bad contradiction (I've been playing too much Phoenix Wright lately.) You disapprove of Anti-GG judging GamerGate by the actions of a few people, but in the same sentence you judge Anti-GG by the actions of a few people. If you look up Todd in the Shadows or Graham Linehan then you'll see it's perfectly possible to disagree with GG without casting everyone involved with it in a wholeheartedly negative light.

I think.

I mean I haven't been on Twitter for a while so I really hope they haven't gone on self-destructive meltdowns lately calling for gamers to be culled.

That would be a bad thing.

I am still totally stuck on this 'Weaponized Pillow' concept.

huntergriff does not actually think that every single detractor of Gamergate is Geordie Tait. He was likely being intentionally hyperbolic and ridiculous to mock the sort of idiocy which gets thrown at him daily.

As to my first statement... you're right. I should have said "At least one person from the aGGRO side will claim it represents all of us, and will then get retweeted by several supplicants". I have been awake for WAY too long.

Awake for too long you say? Sounds to me like somebody could use a pillow. Of the weaponized variety.

This is a sidenote but sometimes I really wish I could get you and huntergriff and that seargent guy and take us all bowling in part to apologize for constantly commenting in disagreement on all of your content and partly because it would just be fun and I wouldn't bring up GG and it would just be a nice story about people who have different opinions but they're not dickheads to each other and they go out and have a good time and people on both sides would be like 'Hey, maybe we could be more friendly and less hostile and I reckon we could really achieve something if we worked together and talked out instead of trading insults all the time' and the night would end with some homoerotic subtext but Sam and Max Season 3 just finished downloading so I gotta go now.

Disagreement like your's, where it's intellectually honest and you're discussing points rather than making assorted character attacks, is something I actually appreciate. I don't want to fall victim to a hugboxing mentality, and introspection prompts made on good faith help keep that **** in check. So, basically, thanks for keeping me honest.

not to mention the fact that these people, the opposition, are all too willing to blame (even tout it as proof) one ****** (with an egg account that literally no one heard of until they pointed it out) on us when we go out of our way to actually condemn said ****** , they claim that the minorities in the notyourshield hashtag are nothing but sockpuppets for white men, despite the fact that the tag was created by two black men, one of whom lost his job after Anti's dogpiled him and called his work place, not a single person involved with that expressed remorse and even encouraged it, hell they even take people not involved and claim they're us, pic related (yes. that's the wil wheaton).

When a print-screen of a GamerGate supporter being an asshole on the internet is found, FJ either insists it's fake, or that it's not a 'true' GG supporter, or they just say 'Well it's just one guy being a dickhead, how is it fair to condemn an entire movement of thousands because one guy is being a dickhead?"

When a print-screen of a GamerGate supporter NOT being an asshole on the internet is found, FJ declares it undeniable proof that the origins of GamerGate have been horribly misrepresented by the corrupt media because if one whole guy is going about this logically and rationally then he's a perfect representation of the movement as a whole.

Sincere congrats to teranin for being a pretty cool guy but that doesn't make this post any less stupid.

They have to be verifiable, but not true. Case in point with gamergate you have the only verifiable sources coming from the accused game journalism sites. Essentially it's the gaming media saying they're not corrupt while citing themselves.

#37 to #36 - anon (03/10/2015) [-]
>>#32, A few reasons. Basically
-Just because you don't use them, doesn't mean many others don't. A game should pass or fail on it's own merits, not how much they pay for reviews
-Developers may use sites as examples on how to better appeal to their market, and if they see "wanting diverse, pansexual transgender otherkin" (hyperbole, since some might take this literally) as evidence that previously decent games (see, Dragon Age: Origins vs DA: Inquistion) should change with the times, cutting out decent characters for victim pandering seriously, complete with "my rich father tried using demon magic to change me because I'm gay, and that's bad for his reputation. ~ Dorian, DA:I .
-You've never thought, "hey, I need a new game, what's coming out that looks interesting" or "the game looks like it might be fun, but I'm not willing to drop $50+ on it without knowing"? Because I tried to give a few games the benefit of the doubt, and that turned out to be a mistake.
-You, simply by playing games, are being called a violent, sexist, racist/sockpuppet, bully homophobe against progressive thought, logic and reason. Even if you try to stay neutral, they claim you are an enabler, allowing others to be trampled because you're not the oppressed minority, despite things like #notyourshield proving the contrary.

tl;dr honestly, it's kinda important, but it's more of the same "games are a negative influence upon our otherwise pristine society". Only with internet, gamers are allowed to stand up for themselves.

those reasons are exaggerations. if i want a new game i ask people that i actually know who have played the game, i never read on game journals so who give a **** ? even then, if you bought a 50 dollar game because a review and ended up not liking it, then return that **** ...no need to buy it and be retarded enough not to know basic consumerism.

gamers who are called "crazy, violent etc..." are being called that by the CRAZIES, if i "fight" them back, then i stoop to their level. even then the ones who are saying that are the minority, gg as done nothing but make them more famous. ive been neutral because i simply do not give a rats ass, but the more i hear GG fags i start to dislike GG more and more.

I don't have many friends and I (used to) trust gaming media for a lot.
Thing is, you can't return video games most of the time. I play PC. Digital downloads can't be returned whether or not you liked the game.
Even if I didn't play PC, by the time I could play through enough of an xBox or PlayStation game enough to know that I don't like it, it's past the time I could get a full refund.
Either way that's money out of my pocket for games I didn't wind up liking.
Money has been tight for me for a little while. 60 dollar video games are a luxury.
Fact of the matter is, people spend money on this **** , is it unfair of us to ask for review sites to not dock points for 'misoggyknees', or add points for extra cash in their pocket?
Whether or not you personally like it, I myself have ultimately benefited from Gamergate, so I'm biased to support it.

replace friends with internet communities like funnyjunk/video games, 4chan.videogames, tumblr/video games or whatever, there are online communities that can give you more info than game journalism.

likewise, if you play on pc, you can still get a physical copy.even then, when you downoad a digital copy, you know full well you can't return it..again, basic consumerism.
Im broke as well, that is why i developed enough financial responsibility to not buy a game fresh off the shelf, it is a luxury not a need. by the time the price drops or i have enough money to buy it, then the gaming communities have already spoken. paid for ratings dont deviate that far off from popularity, and if they did, gaming reviews albeit exagerated tell you the plot and general gameplay...they are not telling you to buy they are giving you THEIR, let me repeat THEIR opinion...and as a consumer it is up to you to make the decision to purchase.

I certainly have now, trust me on that one.

Aside from the idea to buy physical copies (I'm not sure where you shop but even Gamestop just has a Steam catalog for digital downloads), that's not what reviews are supposed to be.
They're literally telling you which games are good and which games are bad. That's what Metacritic is. But when the sites Metacritic pull numbers from have skewed numbers...
Now, thanks to Gamergate, I've learned that Metacritic is not to be trusted. That certain sites give very skewed numbers.

good, but since you do not use game jorunalism anymore, why fight to change them?

In my area i can buy physical copies, and just as a general rule especially if you are broke always buy physical copies.

See thats the thing, they are a for profit private company, they can do whatever the hell they want. Not to be rude but i must question your understanding of how our society works (going to assume you are from the United States, since that is the only place where GG is relevant due to the US based gaming journals, etc..) if it took you GG to understand this basic concept. Last time i read gaming journalism was in middle school when i was too broke to buy myself a game (let alone ask my parents to pay for one, was poor) and was honestly content with reading about games and the reviews were pretty spot on. Growing up you become more aware of how consumerism works, GG just shows me a bunch of people with a basic lack of understanding this concept. The fight is more abstract than anything that can be actually factual as it pertains to legality.

Because some people still fall for it. Because some people will continue to fall for it.

I'll look into it, but I haven't ever seen physical PC games in my area.
That is kinda r00d actually. I'm not gonna deny previously being a little more gullible, but I wasn't entirely blinded to objectivity. Sure, they're for-profit and private, but when they clearly have subjective agendas, their review points should not be taken into account for metacritic. They should not get the pageviews and respect that they had previously.
There are other facets to GG - regarding freedom of speech/expression for devs and more. And if you really think it's all just US, I highly encourage you to take another look. Sargon of Akkad is British, Mykeru is Canadian, Veemonro is from Romania. And that's just a couple youtubers.
Honestly if it was a big enough issue for some doctor in Romania to start making videos about it, I think it goes beyond the US.

what is there to fall for exactly? Gaming journalist reviews are not that far off from user reviews...if they were constantly rating terrible games as top games then they woud have died out a loooong time ago. the fact that gaming jorunalists are still around is a testament to their reliability and popularity.(although shaky to be fair).

yep, you should...and when they are not, just order them online from amazon or something...i would rather wait a few days if that means i can resell later. Say they do have an agenda (which i doubt) it still wouldnt matter, when you say they shouldnt get that many page views that is your opinion...you disagree with them that is all. the fact is is that they get that many page views because other people agree and support them, and hell you adn them are making a choice to do so. Alot of for profit private companies have ******** practices but if they are popular than it is the fault of the consumer if they choose to buy from them, again, capitalism. Even if it is not just the US my point with that exact sentence was to assume that you are in fact from the US. A doctor from Romania.................that does not say much.

See reason one. "It doesn't affect me personally". No, but it still affects hundreds of thousands, if page views are to be believed/
As carefree said, you also can't return a steam game.
Using facts is not stooping to their level, name calling is.
There are literally millions of games out there. If you claim to know people who've played them all, I'd have to call ******** . Plus, there's no accounting for taste. Just because they like it, doesn't mean you will. And even if you liked previous installments, doesn't mean you'll like the sequels.

And if by "crazies" you mean the likes of Stephen Colbert, MSNBC, and other news outlets, then sure. Then spouting this to their millions of viewers are all the crazies.

The biggest reason is that these people have influence on what gets made, especially in the indie scene. Why do you think 90% of indie games are ****** pixel art 2d roguelikes or walking simulators? Because thats what these sites give coverage to. Nobody buys a game nobody hears about, and a game nobody buys doesnt get a sequel

tey dont have an influence on what gets made, they have an influence on what gets bought. but even then, they are private companies and can support and promote whoever the hell they want. It is impossible for gaming sites to rate every single game that gets made, they choose to rate the games that most likely pay them...they are a company afterall. game devs pay them because it is publicity, and not to sound like a dick to the little guys but if you cant pay to advertise then you must count on other means, you cant force a private company to include you, this is how captalism works.

What they are doing is not capitalism, its cronyism. They are not choosing products to promote based on whats best, they're promoting their friends/roommates/ *********** games. All the major games journalism sites have been taken over by one clique who are all frienmds with each other and **** on basic business ethics. You don't form personal relationships with your competition, because that leads to all sorts of illegal **** , whether it be blacklisting, price fixing, or paid for reviews. You're right that we cant force them to cover every game, but we can force them to follow a basic code of ethics like any other industry

its capitalism. the games that are featured are already payed to be there in the first place. There really is not anything you can do about it. They can do whatever they want as long as they follow federal laws, supporting their buddies (which i doubt is what happening) would technically be allowed. If people need gaming journalists to tell them what product to buy , then that is just sad. The thing is you dont have to buy the games, hell you dont even have to read the articles or videos or whatever reviewing the game. they are providing a service that exists because the game exists.

It goes a bit beyond game journalism as far as I understand it. Traditional game journalism is dying anyways, in the wake of adblock and youtuber's stealing all the viewership.
One of the biggest issues I see is how clique-y the whole group is. Of course you have problems like journalists being extremely buddy-buddy, roommates, or financial backer of the indie's they write about.

But you also have issues like the IGF having people on the nominations board who had personally funded games that end up winning such as Fez and Antichamber. One indie dev came forward claiming that when entered into the IGF, of the 8 judges assigned to vote on his game, 5 didn't touch it, 2 touched it for less than a minute. This is something you have to pay to enter, so there is no excuse for this.

You have major groups like the IGDA endorsing blockbots which, as one of the few major gateways into the indie scene, makes it essentially a blacklist. Where if you disagree with the SJW mentality on any minor note, or even follow someone they don't approve of, you can be instantly blocked by a variety of industry professionals from writers to heads of AAA studios.

To me, alot of it is simply fighting the wave of insane sensationalism that has begun to rapidly grow in these online circles. Even the idea that the dominant narrative is still that Gamergate is somehow focused on hurting women, when there is absolutely zero evidence to suggest this, shows that there's a severe lack of rationality. I wont have games being changed or banned based on the opinions of a few radicals.

the video game industry will not get affected by this, at the most the indie game scene will. i see your point but keep in mind that they are not doing anything illegal. if the allegations are true then that sucks but as consumers you either support them or not...simply avoid their sites/companies and vote with your dollars. forcing them to change is not going to work because they are a private company and can do wahtever they want.

the only gaming journalism I care about is Rooster Teeth stuff like AHWU and The Know It All, if that is even considered journalism.

On damn near every GGpost I've come across, there's always at least one guy that goes "What is GG i never use the internet in long time"

You most likely do know that it's a consumer revolt against sites like Kotaku and Gawker Media in general. We're sick of the "journalists" pissing on our legs and telling us it's raining.

Thing is, though, we're not doing it for us, no no, we know full damn well who and where to check for new information. We're doing this for people that are too ignorant to know otherwise.

We're getting a bunch of ********* in power to take responsibility for all the **** they've pulled over the years. Besides, we can't stop now that we've started, or everything will have been for nothing. They'll spin our quitting as them and their ****************** money-grubbing "morals" winning and then they'll just shovel it all into stupid people's faces even harder.

It's annoying enough that pretentious, "artsy" games are beginning to saturate the indie market, you want that **** to be the only genre of game made from now on?

when your battle devolves into a "we cant let them win otherwise they will rub it in our face" then you are not fighting for the right reasons.

artsy games are cool...i like innovation.

Yeah, you're right, I kinda got carried away there.
But seriously, we can't really let up anytime soon.
We're getting closer to something resembling a positive outcome here.
I mean, Brianna Wu actually unintentionally threw herself under the bus for associating with someone that spoke well of GG. A lot of people talked **** about her on Twitter.
So at least that's one person that's seen how mad her side can get.
We now mainly dealing with that McIntosh guy for the moment.

It's all good.

This is... successfully proof that the guy who posted this is an alright guy who is totally in GG for the right reasons and cares about ethics in journalism and whatnot. But unfortunately that does absolutely nothing to prove anything positive or negative about the people in the movement as a whole.

Especially on FJ, where when the Five Guys thing came up the number of people saying 'This could be a breach of ethics!' was FAR outweighed by the 'Slut ****** five guys for good reviews? Slut ****** five guys for good reviews!!!'

... So if the general opinion is completely wrong, it takes all the responsibility away from the people who were holding that opinion?

One of the loudest anti-GGs recently said something that i think says alot about the people. Talking about the harassing or obviously negative posts that go on in the hashtag, they said in response to someone saying that they've never seen these kind of posts, that they didn't see them simply because they never got voted to the top. So obviously the majority of the movement doesn't support these things if they never get upvoted.

The arguments on twitter about gamergate are not solely and entirely about girls gaming. Get with it, you dink. That's just part of feminists wanting things to change and people wanting society to change and cater to their "needs". It doesn't have to do with ethics in journalism but it does have to do with people wanting society to change for illogical reasons.

well people keep stressing that gg is about ethics in game journalism. I don't see how any of that random sjw ******** is relevant. Are you anti feminist? What has that to do with games?

No, there's still reason to continue. Theres STILL sites that aren't changing Such as Gawker (and it's sites), Polygon, and Gamasutra. Just because only three sites changed doesn't mean we just stop.
