#Gamergate

Brace yourself guys: https://twitter.com/DeadwingDuck/status/...6895741952

Comcept broke Kickstarter rules by freezing out donators - more information here: https://www.kickstarter.com/help/faq/kic...#RepoAProj

Although I don't agree with the CM's actions and her clear disrespect (I would even consider "Don't lie to people and Dont victimize anyone" as eligible complaints). As long as the people who donate have the ability to access the kickstarter through the kickstarters tool, they aren't doing anything that would cause kickstarter to have to act. At least I didn't see anything else to lead me otherwise. Although believe you me, the purchasing power of the individuals will quickly show and let's see how dumb they are when they try to justify "..Huh, we got so many donations, why isn't anyone buying our game. WE TOOK TOO LONG THATS THE PROBLEM ISNT IT."

Good news everyone!

I have no idea on the legitimacy of this, nor an actual source (I saw it in a youtube comment), but if so some serious pomegranate is going down soon.

(I'm leaning towards fake)

Just the overall tone of it seems fake. It feels too scripted and out of character

Also, why redact the names of everyone besides moot.

Man I can't believe you guys are still talking about this.

well yeah it's still on going and new things are still being discovered. If there was nothing new for like 3-4 weeks it would probably die down. But this affects all gamers (technically). You can choose to ignore it, but I used to read those articles. It's not particularly nice to find that they haven't been as impartial as journalists should be.

Fake, both based on content and on the fact that they have no idea what they are talking about. Moot is an idiot, but he's been running a large server for over a decade now, there's no way he knows that little about how they work. Getting "feminists to hack in and take over his site" is not something an educated person would say.

Also, everyone already knows most of the personal info on those major figures, mainly because they are actually professionals and it's listed right in their job descriptions.

 Spoiler

the most important thing is, everyone has already left 4chan, his site is going to die and that may have been his real goal in this, it's not like he makes money much off of it, all he gets is internet fame for the most part and it's generally been negative, if he uses this as a jumping off point to get in with a crowd of those he perceives as stronger than himself, he will be benefiting from the death of the site as opposed to just pulling the plug.
SJWs in general have the intellectual level of bricks, so I assume he just wants to get in with them based on their numbers.

You don't even know what's happening do you? You probably still think this is about zoe quinn and lagging like yoshi

Moot made his bed, now he's gotta sleep in it.

I won't be satisfied with that data until I see the spike go to record lows to emphasize his mistake.

But isn't that natural? It looks lower before summer break starts and since summer break has ended it might just be going back to its normal traffic, even the graph at the start almost matches the graph at the end.

No.

See October of last year and compare

Came into this thread about to post the same thoughts as Corn but then i see this and realize i think this is still about Zoe Quinn a month later and now im just confused.

Okay look [MENTION=846]Corn[/MENTION]; read this too.

This has not been about zoey quinn, anita sarkeeson or any specific female "blogger" since 3 days after the event, so like August 28th/29th. And by "Not about" I literally mean they are referred to as the "who you do not name". They are drama queens, beggers, and frankly despicable people based on their manipulative ideology. Zoe quinn made up a harassment episode to produce her game, anita sarkeeson is on record for lying and has not filed a police report since day one. Police actually attempted to contact her last I checked. That's all there is to these two knuckleheads.

What #gamergate has turned into is a consumer revolt. Zoe quinn was merely the rabbit hole that led to this further investigation into this speculation. When these "webs" of controversy showed that multiple developers who all had investments into the games (who they also happened to judge) for the indie game awards, have been f`ucking eachother, clearly proved that these highly prestigious awards were riddled with conflicts of interest, to the point where journalists could donate money to the game or vice versa.

After these things came to light, where our eyebrows were raised based on the conflict of interest, 20 of the most prominent game journalists decided, instead of confronting the issue, was to attack their reader base.

"Gamers are dead"
"Gamers are by default misogynist man children"
"Gamergate is a joke, they're money doesn't matter to us"
"Gamers are just ugly little nerds who need to get over women being in their games"

The list goes on, feel free to look yourself. It wasn't until then I decided to become proactive. I had the Community manager of might no 9 tell me that my money was not worth anything to her. That my support of the game is to be dismissed based on my attention to this conflict of interest. I have been insulted in a blanket statement for an elaborated loud outcry of hatred that does not exist. Gamergate does not harass people, if you find anyone with the #gamergate tag harassing anyone, you link it to me, I will personally denounce that person and tell them what they are doing is wrong, as wil any gamergate individual. My wallet, along with gamers wallets have been spit on, saying our culture is dead, that we are peons in the grand scheme of things and that we need them, not vice versa. Most of the arguments presented by anti-gg actually are either brainwashed, or to the point of denial. He seriously told me that he was aware of the facts but he didnt give a pomegranate enough to look at them. Just look on twitter, search #gamergate, tell me which side is burning the other, I'm confident to say gamergate has become a mature logical movement. There is a reason why these journalist websites are losing their advertising, rock paper shotgun has two advertisers backing them left, and that will shortly be resolved.

Gamergate is about the conflict of interest that is corrupting indie games, having a tight grip on their creativity, the very thing that makes indie games promising is being set back by a marxist ideology of asinine critics. It's honestly ridiculous and these journalists do not have a right to their jobs or to provide me a service.

The spike upward is right around the time #GG started (though the celebrity leaks probably helped that bump too); more notable is the decline very recently, an even sharper trend than the spike upward was, and I would be willing to bet it continues that as more people get fed up with how carebear the site has become. I went to /v/ and all it is now is papayas talking about their video game waifus and/or nervously laughing every time someone mentions something they think the mods will ban them for. No real discussion anymore because anything can be construed as a gamergate thread now, can't talk about how pomegranatety a game is or else OH GOD HE'S SLANDERING REVIEW SITES BAN HIM.

Most people don't realize, this has already been a complete success, the only thing left to do is follow through and completely destroy all financial backing that remains for all of these sites. Which isn't much anymore. People can start dealing with filling the void left behind AFTER all the cancer is purged.
