You probably saw it: headline after headline proclaiming that supporters of Bernie Sanders shouted down civil rights activist Dolores Huerta with chants of “English only!” at a presidential caucus in Nevada. Deeply disturbing.

The problem: that never happened…. many media outlets regurgitated the claim: The Huffington Post, The Washington Post, The Week, CNN, ThinkProgress, The Hill, Vox, BuzzFeed, etc.

Any truth to this? They've done a few stories about an artist named Peter Coffin but that is probably a different person.

>>324972

I'd wait for them to clean house and see how the new owners set up. We went after Gawker for legitimate reason, going after them after they're basically a new company is just being a butthurt faggot.

>>324977

They aren't cleaning house. The same people fucking with journalism are working there as of today. Until they are living in cardboard boxes outside the building, this is not over.

>>324981

You are right, we are so close to stomping out the cancer. We have to confirm this dies for good.

>>324981

They are currently in a holding pattern right now.

Should note that they filed for the "good" kind of bankruptcy. Chapter 11 bankruptcy basically lets you sell shit off but allows you to ultimately walk away fully intact and more to the point, gives the owner full control over how they sell shit off.

Meaning, Denton could sell Kotaku and Jezebel and Deadspin off, plus dip into his own savings, to pay the amount of cash owed Hogan and keep Gawker going. Also, he can keep the business running and doesn't have to fire anyone.

Chapter 7 is the BAD kind of bankruptcy. The kind that means you are fucked beyond all repair and hope of being saved and you owe so much money, you don't even fucking have a right to save what you can or even be picky in how things are sold off to pay the debts.

If they had filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the court would force them to shut down EVERYTHING at Gawker and it's sub sites, because there is no fucking point in keeping them up and running since they are bleeding money they can't pay.

A trustee is appointed by the court and they basically are given the task to sell EVERYTHING that can be sold; the website, the offices, even office equipment, to get cash ASAP to pay off the debts (in this case, the Hogan verdict money). Denton could not say a damn thing and the Gawker office would be stripped of everything, copper wire included, for whatever the trustee could get for it, with the trustee not giving a shit who he sells it too so long as he gets paid.

Chapter 11 is basically "rehabilitation" bankruptcy since you can walk away from it relatively intact. Chapter 7 means you are irrevocably fucked and you can not be saved and are dead dead dead dead.

Should be noted that sometimes companies in Gawkers position will file for Chapter 11 but are forced to go into Chapter 7 by the courts. Granted, those scenarios don't fit the Gawker position, since that hPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

>>308455 (OP)

This seems like a good opportunity.

So, anyone willing to wade in there? I think it would be wise to possibly register so that there's some measure of good-faith shown (though use a spam-proof email service just in case.)

And be calm. Just go through each post and highlight where the inconsistencies are. No rhetoric, no spin, just use the cold-hard facts of the situation.

Is there someone that has a panache for diplomacy that might be willing to try this? I know there were some gators kicking around in the first year that were consistently rational.

Though, rather than spamming them directly en-masse, maybe just reach out to some of the head types and offer to go over the points that are in conflict and such. If we take the position of going over it all in one giant group it might put them on edge but if there's a diplomatic olive branch extended they may be more willing to see.

That said, that is their fort so it is their final call so this might get heated so if you have really thick skin and can stay on target this might be an op for you to participate in.

As always, be polite. If they lash out, just brush it off. We should be fucking old-hat at that shit by now given the bullshit that's been poured on us since the beginning (it sucks and I understand some folk need to decompress but this is one place where it's possible to break the narrative if we do it with patience and dignity.)

>>327551

Well, shit. This is what I get for not reading through the thread itself before posting.

If dragon dildo is back at it again with the white vans then there's probably no hope left for the site unless you wanted to play the long game and point out the inconsistencies on other articles to build up a rapport.

AWESOME!

Though you're right, this needs to be updated for Return of the Jedi.

Slide 14

During Winter of 2006 we initiatived a radical "re-tooling" of the portal for the Game Culture and Technology Lab. This was done in anticipation of a Spring 2006 residency at the Humanities Research Institute (HRI) entitled "Collaboration Infrastructures for Game Culture and Technology" - made possible by Director David Goldberg and Deputy Director Kevin Franklin. The goal is to critically reflect on our use of the tools as we develop and use them in relation to our creative projects.

The residency is being convened by GCTL director Robert Nideffer, and co-organized along with Walt Scacchi, the GCTL Associate Director of Research

Ideally what we produce will become a useful resource for the international community interested in reading, writing, viewing, analyzing, and producing media relevant to the rapidly expanding field of "Game Studies."

She didn't mention GG, which is good because it would have given the anti narratives more oxygen.

It was her "Alt Right are all racist meanies" speech, GG wasn't mentioned specifically, but apparently we're ALL alt-right …because …reasons.

Also some fag shouted Pepe at shillery before being frogmarched out of the Public Community College speaking venue.

They seem far less pozzed than Ziff-Davis, the other major bidder for Gawker's assets.

On the other hand, they could easily wind up being infected by the SJWs they're now bringing into the fold.

Univision owns part of The Onion. The Onion is owned by a top financial supporter of Hillary. Now Univision owns Gawker. It is not a stretch to believe all of these are connected.

I won't be surprise when they go lower than leaking sex tapes of four year olds.

In my opinion, this couldn't of gone any better. Univision of coarse supports Hillary. Trump would not be good for their business model and Hillary is well known for playing ball.

They have everything to gain from handing her money and possible losses if Trump wins.

As for the point at hand, Gawker properties, I wouldn't worry. Univision is trying to expand to a wider audience, but has always been careful with what it's target audience is, which is Latinos. They market their company specifically as the #1 place to reach Hispanics and Spanish speaking Americans.

What they'll do is expand these newly obtained assets to reach a wider variety of their core audience, namely, dumb ass Millennial Hispanics who want to read about video games, feminism, and whatever the fuck Gizmodo does.

I doubt they'll convert to Spanish immediately, but probably offer content in both languages, and slowly shift away from English when they find out just how unprofitable those properties are.

In the end, I predict this will be the end of every non-spanish speaking blogger at those offices and a net gain for the world.

>Okay, a /v/irgin said that this has already been discussed to death. Just wanted to say i'm not baiting. I was just out of the loop for quite some time.

The people in the /v/ GG general tend to be shitposting faggots who don't want to talk about anything in depth because it gets in the way of their stale 2 year old memes and in-jokes. Don't take anything they say that seriously. I don't even know what the point of saying something has been discussed to death is since it's a temporary thread, and you'd have literally no life and no job to read every reply over the course of a week.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Here's more news, Ubisoft's official Tumblr blog has confirm that Jacob Frye is bi. I know that during that time period a guy like that has to hide this fact about themselves.

I heard about Antia and her harpies complaining about Linkle, Bayonetta, Lara Croft, and Nadine (Uncharted 4) earlier (Or did ACS come first).

(Heard good things about ACS, I'll play it. Since I like the time period).

Don't know why a post from 2015 was bumped, but here's what I think of her review of Syndicate.

She praised the game for the inclusion of female characters including a strong female protagonist. But then she immediately bitches about how the female lead's story wasn't the dominate one. Then she complains about how there were "no female soldiers of colour." Obviously her ex boyfriend was hard at work here cranking up his Full McIntosh magic to write this review.

But what stood out for me is the final paragraph of her review. "Syndicate deserves to be acknowledged for its cast of characters and particularly for its treatment of women." I know there's a video of her saying that she doesn't play games, but it's painfully obvious she never sat down to play Syndicate. The reason for this being, I cannot begin to describe how many women you stab in that game. Either as the female protagonist Evie or the male protagonist Jacob, you stab lots and lots of women. You'd think Anita Sarkeesian would have been bitching up a storm over this detail. But nope, she's just happy that a triple a game developer took her ex boyfriend's bullshit seriously.

>>301801 (OP)

>Just above 3

That's not saying much since 3 was absolute shit.

Most people would crawl over a mile of broken glass to avoid a perceived drop in status. Actual integrity is, sadly, quite rare.

That's why the SJW attacks were so effective. They accuse not only the people opposing their bullshit, but also anybody who might be in a five mile radius thinking of asking questions that stray from the narrative. Gosh, gee, anon, critical thinking and evaluating claims? That's like calling a rape victim a liar! Most people don't want a bar of shit flinging like that and will just sidle over to whatever side sounds the most virtuous on surface value. Worst case scenario, they have to apologise and claim they were trying to do the right thing. Boom, no status lost.

As for intelligent people that you respect doing this, well even people that you respect are still people. So they're not infallible and they'll do shitty things.

Most people are idiots. Meat for dogs. Take what you wish from them by any means you can, and leave them in filth and ignorance.

Don't waste your energy trying to teach a sheep to be a king.

Many people simply don't have the info we do. The online censorship was very effective.

Most people just watch and listen to whatever the mainstream says to listen to without actually going and looking at what is beyond the news story. When Wikileaks dropped I remember my mother telling me "wow can you believe he raped those women what a monster!" But when I told her what had happened and how bogus the rape charge was, she actually got upset. I remember her saying in particular "We would have crucified Jesus and not even thought twice about it."

A lot of people who are not in the know are well meaning but they don't get their information from reliable sources, or the information is crafted to portray a specific narrative. It's why Trump is being called a KKK member because David Duke likes him while Clinton praised a former Grand Wizard who was her mentor and is getting no issues for that.

The same principle applies to Gamergate. In the end, a lot of smart people are just not willing to challenge their own beliefs that they might be wrong, or challenge what is being told to them,

>>327139

>Actual integrity is, sadly, quite rare.

As an aside, integrity is often conflated with ethical behavior, when it's not always the case.

Not everyone who claims to have ethics in mind has integrity, but those who do have integrity will always be ethical.

>>327146

>The online censorship was very effective.

Mainly because people self-censor themselves for various reasons, whether they be unwilling or unable to have their preset notions challenges, or unable or unwilling to open up their minds to alternative viewpoints, or just plain apathy & laziness.
