/gamergatehq/ - The GamerGate Headquarters

YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE! YOUR INPUT IS NEEDED!

Greetings anons. Its been a while since we bothered with a board meta thread, and this is the first one in approximately five? months I think.

You know the reason why. Until the recent CON leaks and GG anniversary got people interested, our board was so slow we were actually clear off the first page of the board list more than 80% of the time. During that time, the staff never left, and kept an eye on the board for the usual antics of bump spammers and CP bots, but its pretty undeniable that we have gone a long time without much steam. And that is partly why we're here in this thread.

A very long time ago when this board was first made, I made an exposition to anons about the board's purpose. This was done in an effort to bolster trust in the rather shaken users of /gamergate/ who had just lost their second board to a corrupt admin and his troll friends. A major part of this exposition was a promise: That if a more suitable alt board ever arose and the majority of the community wanted to move, I would close my board and move with them to avoid splitting the GG community.

That time may be coming, and every one of you has a say in it.

The situation:

A person who was once a mod candidate for GGHQ is launching a new #GG hub board on 8chan soon. I spoke with them several days ago and dropped a little preliminary information on /v/ about it. More details have been made available to me, and it looks like this is actually going to happen.

Why this is important:

There has been no shortage of wannabe #GG boards. From /gamergatehb/ to revolt and many in between, a cavalcade of alt boards has rotted on the vine while we held our own for a year and a half. Despite this, the meme of "cuckhq" spread across 8chan and Twitter, and its not an exaggeration to say that our board's bad reputation keeps a lot of anons out. This facPost too long.

The Cyber Civil Rights Initiative is an organization founded by Dr. Holly Jacobs that aims to bring awareness to and reduce the occurrence of harassment on the Internet. Our first campaign is End Revenge Porn, which sheds light on the issue of revenge porn (and other forms of non-consensual pornography) and advocates for state and federal laws to criminalize it.

"Under the previous system, Steam customer reviews came from two sources. On one hand, you had reviews from customers who had purchased the game on the platform. On the other hand you had users who had obtained CD-keys for the game. There are plenty of legitimate ways to obtain a key, for example, from the developer for backing the game on Kickstarter, or as part of a Humble Bundle. But the fact is that there exists a black-to-grey market where keys are given out for the purposes of manipulating reviews."

And here is the salt…

"Some developers have also pointed out that they see more harm coming from fraudulent reviews on the players side. Generally users are more motivated to leave negative reviews than positive ones, with a silent majority of happy players often just getting on with playing the game and not taking the time to leave feedback .

Negative review bombing from players can come from personal grudges, but also, as was the case with this year's Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear expansion, be motivated by bigotry or culture-war controversy."

So… Negative reviews are the fault of the GamerGoobers…

100 chars? That's a lot of Canadian cars. Or French tanks. Or maybe you meant carbonize. That might be it. I might have a picture of something carbonized but I am to lazy to search for it. You're lucky I'm willing to type all that shit for your board.

Looks like @MEGATRON_1488 (CthuluGames), @WildGooseAbuse and @AgoristArtist were behind the spamming of #TorrentialDownpour. Many of the bots share the personalities of their creators/purchasers, and several of the bots link to what appears to be MEGATRON/CthuluGames's ebay store. And if you look, MEGATRON deleted nearly ten thousand tweets in the past month alone and scrubbed the bots twitter accounts as well. Even MEGATRON/CG's profile says "controller of many bots." It's possible they are all controlled by MEGATRON_1488 and he is trying to frame AgoristArtist and WildGooseAbuse. Keep the hell dig going and expose them.

The Online News Association (ONA) held its 2016 conference yesterday where Rose Eveleth plugged the Crash Override Network at one of the sessions. http://archive.is/Pe6XY

We have had a few people hop into their hashtags #ONA16 and #ONA16doxx to correct the record, but this is all over already so nothing more needs to be said.

Rose Eveleth was involved in Shirtstorm, where the comet lander scientist Matt Taylor was forced to apologize for wearing a shirt that an artist lady friend of his had patterned after Barbarella, Queen Of Space and its many imitations. On Twitter she accused Taylor of making women feel unwelcome in science by wearing a woman-designed shirt featuring popular iconography of strong empowered women. https://archive.is/Xl9Zv

We have a bonus censorship story where the Atlantic's moderators banned someone for saying the title of Eveleth's blog was just as offensive (if not more so) than Taylor's shirt.

> According to the responses, the #ONA16keynote was all about "diversity" in the SJW sense of demanding quotas and hating white people. This is really fucking influential, this is what they fed a room full of journalists. ONA might be worth digging into. Who ran it and who selected these panels?

I want to stroke Goddess Nicole's perfect SJW-Lite hair. I want to stare into her SJW-Lite eyes and kiss her SJW-Lite cheeks. I want us to lie in bed reading bad fanfiction to each other while her SJW-Lite feet rub up against mine. I want to lick her SJW-Lite clit while she plays Overwatch, distracting her enough that she drops 3 ranks. But most of all, I want to hold hands with Goddess Nicole.

If figures within Gamergate were characters in Lord of the Rings, who would they be?

(I've got one picked out already, as you can see. Another one would be Theoden at Pelennor Fields = TotalBiscuit)

Wow that was fast. Almost like it's a coordinated push

Let's talk about Brianna Wu's 'game' he release on Steam a few days ago.

It's horrible and people are getting refunds.

Okay, this is some click-bait level desperation. This reads like Gawker-grade bullshit. This whole thing is a class-A SJW reach into a fandom.

The SJWs have been nibbling around /a/'s neck of the woods for a bit, as they've been more busy with those icky gamers.

Now they're taking the gloves off.

My opinion? When will they learn this cherry-picked shit don't work anymore.
