Seriously, didn't think much of this till now. Knew about Sarkeesian, Quinn, Unethical VGJournalism, but I just dismissed it.

Seems a lot more important since I'm pretty sure we're all gamers in one way or another. 

Don't have to do anything, and don't have to get watch the whole vid, but its important to be aware of it.

Seriously tho. Was an interesting watch and point of view. Lots of propaganda on both sides.

This whole thing sounds like a headache.



Quick question: If I use a British accent and then use snippets of articles and tweets, and events out of context and accuse #GG of being a cabal/cult/conspiracy of a bunch of 4chan/8chan guys that want to raise Cthulhu and destroy the world, will people take me seriously?

Unfortunately, lot of weak minded are falling for the whole "misogyny" BS that press is pushing...but there's no surprise there really - what else would gaming press come up with anyway, since their integrity and honesty is questioned, but diverting the topic and trying to demonize GG, which is oldest trick in the book?



I have no idea what this is about but I just want to say both sides are arrogant assholes. And pardon my French.

Probably the only thing that could be said for certain lol. Lots of lies and abuse and coordinated conspiracy on both sides.

What's hilarious about GG is both warring parties are leftist, both journalists/indies and gamers who largely pro-piracy, stop making money give me free games crowd. They both use same tactics to defame each other. It is strange that gawker media didn't understand that before letting their journalists go after gamers.

This is GG in a nutshell: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTAplJFHiNc



I haven't watched the video yet, but I think it's important to remember that no matter what GamerGate started out as, it's changed. Media (and not just gaming media - media as a whole) has determined what it is about NOW. The discourse now is about misogyny within the gaming community, that has been determined by the larger debate.

GG "followers" might argue that it's about journalistic integrity, but that's not what is being discussed when talking about GG nowadays; it's shifted towards death threats and online harassment.

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.
