The #GamerGate Beginner's Guide and FAQ Thread
What are #GamerGate and #NotYourShield?
#GamerGate is a hashtag and quasi-"movement" of gamers around the world that began in August of 2014. #NotYourShield is a sister hashtag, created to lend a greater voice to female and minority gamers who supported #GamerGate and who were dismissed and ignored by the games media.
The #GamerGate Twitter hashtag was originally coined by actor Adam Baldwin in response to the mass censorship of gaming sites occurring around the so-called "Burgers and Fries" scandal. This scandal concerned the public discovery that a little known indie game developer named Chelsea Van Valkenburg (nomme de plume Zoe Quinn) had cheated on her boyfriend with a journalist from the gaming site Kotaku and four other people in the games media industry. Gamers around the 'net took an immediate interest in the scandal, because Kotaku had already attracted some attention for giving Quinn's game, Depression Quest, unusually positive coverage. Suspicion of industry relationships and quid-pro-quo favors among the videogames industry and press had been going on for years, and it seemed that a smoking gun had finally been found.
To the shock of the gaming communities however, a wave of censorship descended across the topic like an iron curtain. Every prominent games forum on the 'net banned discussion of the scandal, and just one single thread on Reddit saw over forty thousand comments deleted. Even 4chan, the once legendary site where you could discuss almost anything, banned people from discussing the issue. The games media declared that there was no scandal, and "nothing to see here." When this was challenged, the response came in the form of a nonsensical accusation that gamers interested in the topic were misogynists, and only interested because the subject of scrutiny was a woman's relationship. The public's concern about improprieties in the games media industry were not just dismissed - they were utterly silenced. In response, gamers created their own communities on Reddit and 8chan with a special emphasis on free speech and activism.
The censorship campaign sparked even further public backlash, and the situation grew more heated until August 27th and 28th of 2014, when thirteen major games media sites released a series of articles now known colloquially the "Gamers Are Dead" articles. Beginning with author Leigh Alexander of Gamasutra, these articles all shared identical messaging and tone, and united to form a simple, political, and utterly untrue statement: "Gamers, as a demographic and hobby, are all sexist, misogynist, racist, horrible people and the games industry should discount them as an audience."
The gamer community immediately recognized this as a deflection tactic. For so many competing publications to attack gamers with such a unified voice almost simultaneously, there had to exist exactly the sort of back-door collusion within the industry that gamers had long suspected. Indeed, months later a man named William Usher, owner of the gaming site One Angry Gamer, would work with Breitbart reporter Milo Yiannoupolis to expose the existence of the "GameJournoPros" mailing list to the world. Patterned off of "Journo-List" of mainstream media fame, this was a secret mailing list where major names in the games media colluded to craft narratives, blacklist industry people, support their industry friends, and decide what stories needed to be spread or buried at their whim.
The united backlash by the global gamer community against this dishonest media campaign became the event known to the world as #GamerGate.

GamerGate2.0
JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT THE RIDE WAS OVER …THE CORRUPT MSM SUCKS YOU BACK IN
Pewdiepie has gone full /pol/ ironic shitposter, pointing out how the MSM takes things out of context, by using Nazi memes, which the MSM, without a shred of self-awareness, dutifully took out of context to smear him
Milo is a victim of a pedo and didn't make perpetual victimhood the center of his life and is someone who can laugh at at himself, instead of having his life revolve around becoming one of the twisted, self-stigmatized victims of pedophilia that feminists feed off of like lesbian trans-dimensional psychic vampires.
I don't have to tell you the timing of these incidents, with the old-media smearing two of the biggest new-media superstars, is in now way a coincidence.
Just Pewdiepie, being smeared as a Nazi could've taken care of itself with PDP's 53 million newly-redpilled fans, but now we have a full-blown happening on our hands.
With the MSM with the mainstream equivalent to GJP mailing list doing coordinated hit-pieces attacking both Pewdiepie and Milo, love them or or think they're shit ecelebs, we effectively now have #GamerGate 2.0: Electric Boogaloo
Start rattling those dead gamer coffins:

OP Highroller: Removing Actual Gambling From VideoGames.
An idea sparked from a /v/ thread. OP name is pre-emptive as the plan isn't even formed, but the goal and idea is.
The thread OP:
ALL MOBILESHIT, ALL SOCIALSHIT, ALL PAY2WIN, ALL FREEMIUM, ALL LOOTBOXES, GONE FOREVER
This is a brilliant idea, 99% of the cancer infecting the medium has been bankrolled by racketeers pretending to be game developers, using armies of disinterested normalfags as a battering ram into every platform, funded off the slaughter of lobotomized whales. In addition, it could create a public furor against anything else that vaguely smacked of it, such as DLC, Greenlight vaporware, and $1 appstore shovelware.
If the flames of a good old fashioned moral panic could be fanned up, especially in today's political environment, games might be saved in one fell swoop.
>Let's all be honest here, microtransactions, lootboxes, and keys are all super scummy and also skirt the line of being actual gambling by hanging on the very edge.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDVQr6gNqdA
>And judging by the slot machine style of how these cases usually are… I think there is something that can be said about them literally skirting these laws by inches. This isn't the only video like this, there are literally thousands like this and you can actually see these people get so hyped up during the rolling of the meter… it's literally the same look a person has going to a actual slot machine.
>Frankly, I think it is quite obvious that regulations against these type of things is going to happen really damn soon once any form of attention is thrown at them from any form of political body.
>So, how do we get the attention to finally end this blight upon gaming?
>Well. I actually do see many options in order to actually kill microtransactions once and for all. 2 I will name here as they seem to be the very best options.
>Force the ESRB to start rating any game with microtransaction/gambling mechanics as a automatic AO rating. As gambling is an actual real life thing of which only adults can use. I believe it is now important that we petition the ESRB to protect our children from these games by forcefully having any and all games with these elements be classified as AO only. AO only being an actual kiss of death for any and all video games it touches. It will prevent a huge swath of them on consoles and thus the game developers and publishers will be forced to patch them out if they want to keep selling the game. Also yes, I heavily recommend using the 'think of the children' type argument for this, might as well use the weapon they constantly use on us.
>Email/mail/talk to any and all political bodies about this issue in the gaming industry and how it is preying upon and literally giving birth to a new generation of gambling addicts and that video game companies are willfully responsible for it. This idea would actively piss off the entire game development and publisher community into fighting against it. But this would actually force a damn good limelight upon these issues and make them even more well known and people would go against them more by the day. Also a lot of the older congressmen absolutely despise video games so we might as well use that hatred to our actual benefit for once.
>The main most goal in all of this is to get these mechanics known to the whole world using news organizations. If we can get Talk Show hosts to talk about how messed up it is, we win, flat out. There will be nothing left to defend microtransactions whatsoever as public knowledge of them will come with a very swift hammer.
>Again though, here is the main point I wish to ask. Should the gaming community do this and finally put an end to a invasive and actually greedy practice? What do you guys think?
Also, the best comment so far:
>Works for me. I have LONG maintained that if feminists want to really improve the state of gaming for women, that they start with the genres that women gravitate towards. Mobile gaming and its microtransaction shenanigans should have been at the top of their list since day one.
The above however, does not come with issues (see next post).
Video Games
I am wondering what is GamerGate’s take on esportsbetting. I mean staking on any kind of esports events in general or the act of gambling itself. Maybe also what are your thoughts in betting always coming hand in hand with any sporting events, including esports? reference only https://esportsbitcasino.ca/blog/dota-2-biggest-esports/

What you can do
1. Spread awareness of what happened.
2. Document any ongoing events.
3. Let the participants know what we have learned about Twitter's censorship.
Can I Get Revenge?
Can I just get some revenge? Some proof that one can't tell another that "they love them, psych!!!! Anyway, have fun with the truth issues" and just walk away without any accountability?
I just want a bit of morality you know? Consequences for one's actions, ya dig?
I don't know the incel count here, but if you want some… I don't know, ethics in dating, here's someone to hold accountable:
https://www.linkedin.com/in/victoria-landazuri-244917112
https://www.facebook.com/victoria.landazuri
It's all pain from here on out. So why don't you cause her some pain for me, will ya? I'm a nice guy, hahahahaha.
Fun Fact: She has insulted both Zoë Quinn and Anita Sarkeesian as 'career victims', So if you rock and rollers want to have her join the club as the two afore mentioned,
Anyways, karma you know.
If you want to follow your 'fierce integrity', why not give her email a whirl? Make sure she's held socially responsible., Let her know what her "integrity" has led her to. What the price of her, let's say, "peace of mind" has cost others.
Thank you.

literally WHOOOOOOOOOOOO
Does someone have a source on the government connection of Silverstring Media or whatever it's called?
I'm an oldschool indie dev and when FIVE GUYS (rhymes with five eyes) hit I saw the dev community basically destroyed. It makes a tonne of sense that the whole thing was a literal psyop.
Except for the spineless faggots who were willing to play along with the media-backed SJW social conditioning shit, and the guys who were too big to die (and even notch went into hibernation for a while before re-emerging with testicles), the designer community basically dissolved overnight. Personally I deleted all my social media because everyone I'd previously respected fell to infighting and retardation.
I wanna come back and reclaim my audience, and when I do it I want fucking revenge.
Ralgar of GamerGate Wiki
Hello, Gamergaters:
Lately, I've been harassed lately by a user named "Ralgar."
Take a look at his contributions:
http://ggwiki.deepfreeze.it/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/Ralgar
I want to inform all GamerGaters, Trump supporters to take a look at this and see if they are right about Bryan. If not, just treat "Ralgar" as the enemy.
Ralgar is bolstering BatteryIncluded's narrative about me to sow the seeds for GamerGate, Trump and Brexit, and he will continue to do so, threatening governmental institutions with populism.
Ralgar is a bad actor associated with Koncorde and BatteryIncluded.
Anti-Internet Censorship Database Operation
https://twitter.com/kr3at/status/806301894389956608
Internet Censorship Database Announced By Google, Twitter, Facebook And Microsoft
Google, Twitter, Facebook and Microsoft will launch a shared database to censor social networks in 2017.
> The world’s largest social networks have announced plans to launch a shared Internet censorship database in 2017 that will be able to scrub anything that is labeled as “extremist content” across all of their social networks.
> Facebook already has a tool in place that they recently revealed they are in discussions with to provide China access to in order to gain access to China’s 1.4 billion citizens.
> Currently the tool is being touted as a weapon to fight terrorism and hate speech but just defining what speech falls under the topic is a slippery slope.
> Twitter and Reddit have recently been actively banning conservative content and Twitter has even threatened to ban President-elect Donald Trump for hate speech.
> It is also no secret that Governments have long openly banned political content that had nothing to do with extremism or hate such as Japan’s ban of Fukushima news and just recently Italy’s ban on reporting on the referendum ahead of last Sunday’s vote.
> The news comes as the United States and Europe governments are separately pushing Internet censorship legislation into law, which has largely been kept off the radar of corporate media news outlets.
> The goals of the separate legislation is to crack down on what the establishment is labeling as “fake news” being spread as part of a Russia propaganda conspiracy.
> In reality the vast majority of the news that will be censored under the new legislation is nothing more than non-corporate news outlets simply reporting on issues in a manner that is critical policies of the government and establishment politicians, and their hidden power players such as special interests and lobbyists, on matters such as globalization, oversea wars, environmental issues and corruption.
1. Spread News
Spread this into #FakeNews and Freedom of Speech groups.
If they're this scared, it means people are listening to "Fake News".
Later, a hashtag may need to be created. Work on getting warm bodies for now, and the # may come naturally.
2. Boycott & Shill Alternatives
On twitter, if you put $ before the stock code, it acts like a # but for just for stocks. It's used by shareholders.
> Microsoft $MSFT
> Twitter $TWTR
> Google $GOOGL
> Facebook $FB (I think, please verify)
If the people looking for stock info on these companies see all the boycotting & "I'm switching to [other brand]" then it will not sit well. Obviously these companies are pushing it for more than money, but the less capital they have to use, the better.
In addition, point out companies hypocrisy (in Twitter's case- how threats made by celebs and even official ISIS accounts stay up, but Republicans and people reporting pedos are banned).
As for the alternatives:
> Microsoft - Linux (ask /tech/ for advice on how to make infographs for installing/using, particularly for Linux Mint), other email providers (ask /tech/).
> Twitter - sealion.club and Gab.AI apparently.
> Google - Startpage, other email providers, other smartphone brands. NOT DuckDuckGo (long thought to be a scam).
> Facebook - Seen.Life
3. Create infographs to aid in step 1 and 2
Provide sources, make it clear to read, and use emotional language (but never lie).
4. Disnod people working with the above
This is a big step, and should be undertaken only when this takes off.
It's not the same as asking someone to stop advertising on a website they deemed easy ad-space. We're asking them to drop affiliation with the biggest companies on earth- not to mention half of them might be in bed with their ideals.
But, we also helped strip Gawker of 6 figures before Hogan even looked at them.
Free Speech online is on the line.
Without it, we can't redpill people on social media. We can't show how many we are. We can't connect.
Trump showed the world we are many. And now, they're trying to tape our mouth shut so they can speak for us for a few generations- all while claiming bad is good, wrong is right, there's nothing to fear, and real investigation is fake news.
Time to bite their fucking hand off.
Operation Canadian BaCon II: GamerGate Vs. The CBC Boss Battle (Coming Summer 2019)
After several months (if not years) of absence from 8chan and making cryptic comments about some mysterious new OP I had planned on social media, I've finally managed to gather enough preliminary information to tell you guys what I've been up to.
A QUICK RUNDOWN OF GAMERGATE'S BATTLE WITH THE CBC (CANADIAN BROADCASTING CORPORATION)
Summary of the past four years of drama:
- In November 2014, I filed a complaint with the CBC Ombudsman concerning a news segment they did on GamerGate and eventually went all the way to the CRTC (Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission) to ask them to investigate.
- After the filing of numerous additional complaints about each new hit piece that came out, the CBC Ombudsman eventually decided to unofficially classify me as something akin to a "vexatious complainant" in July 2015 and ignore me from then on, saying that "[their] answer will be the same as it has been in the past". Way to show an open mind and willingness to reevaluate your position in light of new evidence like a proper journalist, Enkin. Pierre Tourangeau, her counterpart at the French-Canadian version of the CBC, Radio-Canada, did something similar to a friend associate of mine Mug33k while essentially accusing him of trying to weaponize the office of the ombudsman.
- December 2015, the CRTC closed GamerGate's case, having coming to the conclusion that the CBC "did not violate their existing regulatory policy framework". However, the director of social and consumer policy, Nanao Kachi, immediately opened a new case on GamerGate's behalf, asking the CBC to address all of the allegations information that I'd submitted to them up until that point in time. The CBC, however, despite numerous pokes and prods over the next two and a half years or so, refused to respond or even acknowledge receipt of the complaint, thus not only snubbing me but also thumbing their nose at the CRTC, which is part of the CANADIAN GOVERNMENT.
Flash forward to February 2018.
After theee years of not being able to give me any definitive answers, one of our caseworkers at the CRTC finally managed to unravel some of the red tape and informed me that the CBC apparently couldn't ignore me indefinitely and would need to address all outstanding complaints by the time their broadcasting license was up for renewal, which, as it turns out, is currently set to expire on August 31, 2019, just a few days after GamerGate's fifth anniversary. In a follow-up e-mail late last week, I was provided with some additional information,. While I haven't had a chance to sit down to read through everything yet, here're a few points of interest so far:
- The proceeding for the CBC's broadcast license renewal will be public (which is unsurprising, considering that the CBC is a crown corporation, i.e. a state-owned enterprise funded by a billion dollars in taxpayer money annually) and likely take place in September 2019.
- Public participation is encouraged, meaning that ordinary Canadian citizens, either as part of a group or as individuals, can submit comments, concerns, complaints, suggestions, etc. in the form of interventions.
- submitting studies, with a probable deadline of mid-July 2019.
- All interventions will be taken into consideration by the CRTC while making their decision.
- An online consultation will be held concerning the proceedings sometime during the Summer of 2019.
- "Balance in news reporting" and "complaints from the public" have been considered important issues in the past
- An "active contribution to the flow and exchange of cultural expression" and "contributing to shared national consciousness and identity" are important to the Canadian Broadcasting Act.
- The CRTC can impose conditions on the CBC for the renewal of their broadcast license.

2019 #GamerGate Anniversary Event: Wiki Month!
Hello again, everyone! I have an announcement, preserved here for posterity. For the anniversary this year, I'd like to point out a couple things real fast. Please direct your browsers here:
https://www.google.com/search?&q=gamergate+wiki
https://www.bing.com/search?q=gamergate+wiki
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=gamergate+wiki&t=hi&ia=web
The #GG Wiki is on page one of results for every major search engine now. Even above Rationalwiki on Jewgle. Alexa shows the site's reach at over 800,000. But its no time to get complacent: The wiki still needs a lot of improvement and work, and there can be no better time than now, with just under a month to go for the Anniversary. So for the Anni this year, we're gonna have a little contest.
>1: This will run from the time of this announcement, August 1st, until midnight CST on August 27th.
>2: Anonymous wiki account registrations are open at https://ggwiki.deepfreeze.it/index.php?title=Special:CreateAccount . Just clear the custom captcha and you're in.
>3: The Wiki admin staff will track progress on articles and improvements, especially those on the Featured Articles list.
>4: All pro-#GG factions are being invited to participate. That means 8chan, Twitter, KiA, and KiA2.
>5: On August 28th, the main page banner will be updated and prizes given out to the top 10 editors, plus a couple of special prizes.
The grand prize for the top 10 best editors will be to have your handle (Wiki username, Twitter, Anon or whatever you like but not somebody else's dox) permanently enshrined on the Wiki's main page below the updated 2019 banner image.
When it's all done, I'm going to look at avenues to advertise the wiki and get even more eyes on it. Dare we even dream of it one day appearing on the first page for just "GamerGate" results? Probly not considering the avalanche of shit and hitpieces its buried under, but a man can dream.
So uncork those old archives, dig out those screencaps, pick your most hated journo or your favorite piece of Kotaku bullshit and get to it. The door's open until the 28th!
Books talking about Gamergate
Used books.google.com with the search string "gamergate". Took me a couple of hours and even a few weeks to make a the graphic with paint. There are +50 Books mentioning #Gamergate in a neutral or negative way. Although confirmed neutral like 2-3. Gonna wade through all of them an get the quotes out for the wiki.
Remember that you are here for ever. A decade long culture war none of us chose to get involved with but was forced by invaders to pick up arms.

The #GG Wiki Lives Again!
Some of you guys have probably heard already, but the #GG wiki is once again alive. And this time, we own it.
The domain name is mine, and the server is sharing space with DeepFreeze. I'm appointing some crack sysops from 8chan and KiA to oversee it, and there will be a fundraiser in the not too distant future to pay up both the wiki and Deepfreeze for the next five years. The wiki is currently open to (anonymous) registration and editing, but we're watching it for spam and troublemakers. If you want to contribute, check out the To Do list on the front page, or make a new article if you have something good to add.
Why'd we do this? Because I'm fucking sick and tired of people who take up big responsibilities and then flake out on the community. If nobody else can get their shit in gear and keep it in gear, then we'll do it our damned selves!
Did Matt Lees just try to incite violence against Dr Disrespect and play it off as a joke?
All because the Doc made fun of Kotaku yesterday.
Game journos are going nuts over it, it seems.

Excuse the picture. I needed a picture to make a post and I wasn't keen on opening Photoshop at the time, so I just took a :orig picture from Twitter and copy-pasted it.
A Docx file had just been made that I'm mirroring here that contains the advertisers that the document's composer(s) caught while on Vox Media's websites. I'm gonna put them up here in a separate post(s).
MEGA: https://mega.nz/#!Xg5VjQxB!Mc7-B8RKmF1XPGdKhszQU7VehmKgKBTMvul6fkKKZ-4
Overview: In early June Vox (https://www.vox.com/) orchestrated another adpocalpyse through their media connections, targeting conservatives and centralists on Youtube. The larger channels like Crowder have been able to withstand the impact, but many smaller channels have lost their ability to support themselves or have disappeared entirely.
Compiled below is as extensive a list as possible of all advertisers on Vox and their contact information. Not every company has a separate contact email or number, but when applicable everything has been included.
Disclaimer: Do not use this list to engage in any systematic or individual based illegal activity. It is for purely activist purposes only.
Tactics
* Remember if it is possible to turn any of their pro progressive points against them. Do so, especially during pride month.
Memes: Memes are one of the greatest ways to convey a message. Include corporate slogans, logos, etc and tie it to Vox, and their behavior.
Email: Be precise, be organized, and cite examples of Vox’s systematic harassment and toxicity.
Tagging: Do so frequently against the companies
When applicable make the companies live up to their own marketing and PR. If a company is coming out for Pride month is you can find any example of anti trans behavior on the part of Vox this is the time to use it. Now remember because Trans is no longer consider a mental disorder insurance companies no longer need to fund it, doctors no longer need to treat it or see patients, and employers can outright now not hire you for being Trans without violating the law.
Any article of Vox’s that states Trans isn’t a mental disorder is now Transphobic. Prove the point and hammer it home repeatedly.

Comics Thread
Comics stuff:
Marvel VP of sales has recently acknowledged muh diversity is the reason for sales going down the toilet, pretty much laying the blame on the readers:
>What we heard was that people didn't want any more diversity. They didn't want female characters out there. That's what we heard, whether we believe that or not. I don't know that that's really true, but that's what we saw in sales.
One Angry Gamer article: http://www.oneangrygamer.net/2017/04/marvel-exec-acknowledges-sales-tanking-after-focusing-on-sjw-topics/27748/
chive OAG weekly recap incl Marvel guff: http://archive.fo/UdqyA
chive of OAG link -ICV2 interview: https://archive.is/twXzy
Meanwhile CBR (Comic Book Resources) has 'dug deeper' saying it's not about diversity something somthing white men something:
>Just to be clear, “diversity” has very little to do with the drop in sales in Marvel’s top 10 books. Only three (“The Mighty Thor,” “Invincible Iron Man” and “Black Panther”) can be considered “diverse,” in that they star a lead character who is a woman or a person of color. The rest are series starring white male heroes or teams made up predominantly of white male heroes. These are Marvel’s traditional A-list heroes, being written and drawn by A-list writers and artists (almost all of whom are themselves white men), and yet they are floundering.
Unsurprisingly Tor Books says it's not diversity to blame either something something score points for sjw article bingo:
>they’re almost always white cishet men
Also:
>The more the Big Two seek to control expression and discussion, both on the page and online, the more they drive creators to small presses, indie publishers, and self/web publishing.
This coming from Tor SciFi + Fantasy Gatekeeping Inc.
>When you look at the sales figures, the only way to claim diversity doesn’t sell is to have a skewed interpretation of “diversity.” Out of Marvel’s current twenty female-led series, four series—America, Ms. Marvel, Silk, and Moon Girl—star women of color, and only America has an openly queer lead character. Only America, Gamora, Hawkeye, Hulk, Ms. Marvel, and Patsy Walker, A.K.A. Hellcat! (cancelled), are written by women. That’s not exactly a bountiful harvest of diversity. Plenty of comics starring or written by cishet white men get the axe over low sales, but when diversity titles are cancelled people come crawling out of the woodwork to blame diverse readers for not buying a million issues. First, we are buying titles, just usually not by the issue. Second, why should we bear the full responsibility for keeping diverse titles afloat? Non-diverse/old school fans could stand to look up from their longboxes of straight white male superheroes and subscribe to Moon Girl.
>why should we bear the full responsibility for keeping diverse titles afloat?
Probably cos that's what you're into and it's a niche market . . .
. . . but let's blame someone else! -
>Non-diverse/old school fans could stand to look up from their longboxes of straight white male superheroes etc
>True diversity is letting minority creators tell their own stories
They omit the 'providing they support the Narrative' clause.
>letting
Did I read that right?
Extra bit:
Article from January 2016 - retailers view on the Big2's tanking sales:
GAWKER IS DEAD, LONG LIVE GAWKER
>Peter Thiel is getting closer to his goal: Gawker Media has filed for bankruptcy protection and says it eventually plans to find a new owner for the company.
>Gawker and owner Nick Denton are making the Chapter 11 filing today, in order to avoid paying Thiel and Hulk Hogan the $140 million judgment they won in Hogan’s privacy trial earlier this year.
>Gawker has told it employees it still plans to fight the Thiel/Hogan case and to operate its publishing business while it does so. But it is also now formally entertaining offers to buy the company and says it has a firm bid from publisher Ziff Davis to buy the entire operation for less than $100 million.
>(Update: In a memo to employees, Ziff Davis CEO Vivek Shah says his company has an "asset purchase agreement" to buy seven Gawker titles, and says there is a "tremendous fit between the two organizations." It is worth noting that while Shah's memo says he intends to buy Gawker.com, he doesn't list the site when describing Ziff Davis' plans to integrate Gawker Media's other sites.
Sure feels good.

>Randi Lee Harper
>Dec 6·
>I’ve been job searching for the past few months. Kind of quietly, because I’m in a really weird position. I’m crowdfunded, and although my field is somewhat niche, the duties involved are very broad and multi-disciplined. I’ve been doing this for a while. I really like it!
However, money is running low
>and there are things I really miss about working with a team within an organization. I also really miss engineering. A lot. I get to do tech work with my current position, but it’s not the same. I don’t get to collaborate. There’s no people to talk to on coffee breaks. There’s no one around to give their input or brainstorm solutions. It’s really lonely work, and I’m so ready to not be doing this anymore.
>This is a very difficult thing to measure, but I know this for a certainty — every medium post I’ve written on the subject of abuse has had a major impact and caused policy and feature changes. That’s a really big thing. Huge.
>I won’t ever be giving up on abuse research. But this doesn’t mean I need to work on it as a primary function of my job. If I find a gig that utilizes my unique skillset in that area, rad! But I’d be just as happy in a syseng or dev job or even PM or something community facing.
>So, here’s what is important to me.
>I don’t want to leave Portland. I’m perfectly willing to travel up to 75% of the time, but my home base needs to be here. Due to my current work, I’ve got some security concerns. These concerns are completely addressed as long as I stay in Portland. Moving is a very big deal. I’m not unwilling to move, but it would be complicated, it would take time, and I’d have a few stipulations. I’m good at working from home. I self manage very well. Let me keep doing this.
>I know that even in smaller companies, every team has it’s own problems. Be straight with me, and if there’s something significant, tell me what those problems are. Tell me how you plan on fixing any problems that might drive away good talent. I’ll listen.
>I will continue working on abuse research when I’m not on the clock. I’m going to continue helping people that come to me. I will continue to speak publicly. I will continue doing exactly what I am currently doing, just on a much more time restricted basis. This is non-negotiable.

#GEXIT - Make Gay Men Great Again!
The "LGBT" political alliance has become abusive, narrow-minded, and hostile to both male and female homosexuals (#GetTheLOut). Our bodies, our choices, our voices. It's time to join with Lesbians speaking out. It's time to Make Gay Men Great Again. Yes—it's time to #Gexit. Manifesto coming soon
Ethical and/or good companies to support, and possibly bad ones to avoid
Saw a thread on AMD on /v/ and that just kinda reminded me about this sort of shit.
I feel that a thread should be made on this sort of thing, as what GG should be doing now that journo's influences have been vastly diminished, is convincing people to become ethical consumers. To be vocal with companies that they are middling in their feelings towards, to not buy anything from a company that has thrown away their goodwill, and most importantly to support companies that are willing to be ethical, and/or support gamers and GG. Other good attributes:
>Anti-censorship
>Anti-DRM
>Quality products
>Ethical behavior
>Supports communities and fanmade projects
>listens to actual consumers, doesn't give SJWS any quarter
and whatever else you can think of. If its a limited market, just say why you should support the alternatives, or at the very least why you shouldn't support the biggest (and oftentimes most unethical) taker of said market. I'd recommend providing archives for claims that not everyone might not be aware of.
I'll start with my own general set-up, let's try to keep this gaming, internet and gaming-tech related to keep the focus narrow for now; other mediums can wait till we've established something good here:
Storefronts and Retailers
>Itch.io
Basically just an indie store that has no significant issues as far as I'm aware. No real problems. Good enough, worth keeping in your rotation of stores to check out.
>Humble Bundle
Now owned by IGN. Not the best, but it seems to be okay(?). No significant issues besides that but (like anything else on this list) if any anons wants to point out something wrong with it or why it might not be worth using be my guest
>GoG
Basically a Steam alternative. Not great, but DRM-free commitment and a lack of shovelware makes them better than Steam, and much less censorship present as well, though heavy curation is involved there. Best large alternative to Steam as far as I'm aware, as many other storefronts just sell Steam Keys.
>Play-Asia
Anti-censorship attitudes along with actually supporting Japan, they also seem to lean more towards GG and actually pander towards gamers. High-ish prices though, but they're worth using.
>Mangagamer
Basically the GoG of VN storefronts and whatnot. They are staunchly anti-censorship and have a better relationship with Nippon and fanslators than Sekai Project and other places. They also give larger cuts (citation needed) of the money than other alternatives like DL-site which is known to be hyper-jewy (but DL-site is the second-best one in this regard afaik)
Don't use Steam if you can avoid it -
<They have their own DRM
<They have censored numerous titles
<They have pushed for paid mods
<They have incredible amounts of power in terms of online gaming storefronts, you'd be contributing to a near-monopoly
Try not to use Amazon for obvious reasons
<Jeff Bezos is a slimeball
<Amazon owns WaPo which is aGGro as fuck and part of the media conglomerate
<largest online storefront, don't contribute to near-monopolies
<anti-Trump (not a real reason but its more of a litmus test in this case)
<up to general sketchy shit and takes over small companies all the time, like the online space's equivalent of a Wal-Mart
Ethical and/or Good Web Browsers
>Pale Moon
Doesn't track you, is open-source, isn't SJWFox who fucked up functionality with Firefox quantum and basically gave the middle-finger to their power users.
>Waterfox
Literally a fork of Firefox before quantum that works with all plugins and add-ons and whatnot. It uses Ecosia and is open-source
>Iridium
Don't know shit about it but its supposedly an unpozzed fork of Google Chrome(?)
Sketchy.
Don't use Chrome if you can. Google needs no explanation at this point if you can't figure this one out.
Don't use Firefox, they're on a quick and slippery slope down to SJW hell. Quantum and update 57 fucked over countless users and they don't give a flying damn about it.
Search Engines
>Searx.me
Good enough search engine, respects privacy, is open-source, no major issues found.
>Ecosia
Supports tree-planting. Uses Bing infrastructure which is kinda sketchy, doesn't datamine outside of what is pretty much required for a search engine to operate, seems reliable and "good enough" again.
>Startpage
basically anonymized google, use it if the others don't give good results. Good enough results.
Gaming Tech and Peripherals
Gonna need some help filling out this one, since I don't keep up with all the companies.
A lot of the situation with these are unknown for me, if anyone has more information on MSI, AMD Asus, Acer, EVGA, Nvidia, Razer, Intel, Dell, etc. it would be helpful.
(cont. in next posts because of the shit text limit)
SJWs attacking the source-
Mod edit: A Plan Has Been Formulated. See The following shortcut and do your part after reading!
——————————————————————–
>“When we have costumes or clothes that we have a little concern with, we share it with NoE and NoA and they’ll say, ‘No, no, that’s fine’ or ‘You’re right, that’s an issue.’ If it is an issue, we’ll go back and say we’ll say, ‘We adjusted it this way, what do you think?’ There’s a lot of back and forth in that sense. Rather than compromise, it’s like we’re all aiming for the same goal, of being able to provide a good experience for everybody in all regions. And we’re aiming to have a game that has very little difference between the regions.”
The language barrier has been used by SJWeebs and translators to tell Jap devs one thing, while another happens in the west.
In fact, a Jap politician had to point out in their parliament that the American MSM called the election so wrong that why should they trust their word on other matters.
We know that this is the start of a slow-boil tactic to be applied over generations to Japan (possible combined with Olympics to cuck and de-homogenize them) until they make the same shit western AAA currently do.
This isn't like South Korea who got lucky and managed to throw out their leader.
This isn't like America where their leader's mere existence is making the mouth-pieces so mad they're destroying 20 years of marxism.
This is a nation who aren't prepared for a concentrated effort to undermine them. And being the world is turning away from globalism- they will focus on new foot-holds.
What this OP entails or needs is unsure right now.
RPS journo makes an ass of himself at FFXIV FanFest
FRESH BREAD ON UNETHICAL GAME JOURNOS HOT OFF THE PRESSES!
So, Brendan Caldwell of Rock Paper Shotgun made a complete ass of himself at Final Fantasy XIV FanFest with this article he just posted 3 days ago.
dude tried to bait YoshiP into talking about ERP at a pannel and wasted 1/10th of the allotted Q&A time being a cringey faggot trying to bait YoshiP into a specific answer. THEN he went on to interview some dude's wife who was a cosplayer and called her a "foam Peacock" to her face. and after posting the article people got fucking pissed and bitched him out on twatter. then he doubled down on his faggotry and started chain-blocking anyone that disagreed with him or the article.
Pushing back against SONY's new censorship policies.
OP OUR LIFE OUR HOMETOWN
Our best option is a two pronged attack.
The first angle is delivering the redpills we've accumulated over the years to bilingual japs that can serve as vectors for disseminating our information. This should not be terribly difficult given the 5 alarm happening going on right now. Even though the otaku in Japan are absolutely not going to take this lying down, the possible end result of this being "no more lewd games outside japan" situation ala Rapelay is NOT benefical to us AT ALL contraty to how some anons may feel, as such a transpiration would still be a victory for SJWs. What we should be aiming for instead is encouraging jap devs to do the translations inhouse to bypass this faggotry.
twitter.com/yagyu4k and twitter.com/yaginuma_san are two good candidates for redpill vectors we already know about. Poke around the twitter threads where this censorship is being discussed, look for angry bilinguals and use this opportunity to give them infographics and archives that they can translate for non-english speaking nips. OP Timber stuff, hitpieces, backlashes against the hitpieces, the likely collusion with resetera. Whatever you share, make sure it gets the message across that these people do not speak on our behalf. And don't forget to spread things like https://www.change.org/p/sony-towards-sony-their-new-policies as well. (It's almost at 3K. Spread it to them and we can easily make this blow up even more.)
CAUSE: We want Japanese devs to not be forced to censor.
PLAN: Get in contact with bilingual jap devs to show support and spread info.
TOOL: Infographics and other distributables, archives, links (don't forget the wiki.)
TARGET: Affected devs and angry otaku.
The second angle is mockery, plain and simple. Convincing normalfags to boycott over titty games isn't going to have much effect. But while it's difficult to convince them to like something, it's very easy to convince them to hate something else instead. Remember the shitshow from the BF5 trailers and how expected pre-orders tanked down to 85% less than expected? Remember how much the memes and mockery played into that? These poz factories are not as unassailable as they appear. We need to take that approach to every single western release Soyny has lined up. ESPECIALLY TLoU2, as that (((game))) is going to be make or break in terms of hype vs. success and who the core audience is.
CAUSE: People in general hate socjus pandering.
PLAN: Make these games appear as generally unappealing as we possibly can. (We already do this, but believe more effort needs to be thrown towards this in general if we want western poz to die for good)
TOOL: Funny memes.
TARGET: Normalfags in general.
ResetEra digging thread
OP END THE ERA
Let's not delude ourselves any further. All of these setbacks that have come to pass in the past year almost perfectly coincides with the spawning of that cancerous tumor. We know that all the diehard Soyny shills migrated there. We know they eject dissenting thought from the site with impunity. All signs point to these faggots as one of the biggest causes of the returning cancer, if not THE biggest cause. But how this relationship works is still unclear. There have been partial, unfinished digs, but we haven't really gotten much info aside from that kiwifarms thread.
We need a final solution to these fags, so we need to get serious about getting a real digging operation going.
CAUSE: Resetera are censorius commie faggots and are likely one of the biggest contributors to the cancer this year.
PLAN: For now, gather information on the people involved in the forum and look for connections that cant be made.
TOOL: Typical digging practices. Possibly utilizing COINTELPRO tactics in their own hugbox.
TARGET: The community in general. Info gathering OP, so only a handful of targets right now. Keep an eye out for mods/admins and other individuals that are key to the community and archive and catalogue them.
Request thread
Just a request thread for resources such as links, proofs, logs, infographics or whatever.
Got the idea while looking for Persona 5 links about Connor Krammer and the localization debacle. Posting what I got here, but anyone can use this thread for anything.

Star Control: Origins voice features Adam Baldwin, Zoe Quinn triggered
This has been happening. Adam Baldwin joins the voice acting team in Star Control: Origins. Zoe Quinn being a hypocrite and going apeshit over it and shit talking Brad Wardell, telling her followers to not buy the game that's coming this September. Brad responded to her 5 year old Twitter message of doing "anything" in the team and tells her "No". Links below for sources.

Internet Archaeology - The Penny Arcade Digging Thread
Full disclosure: Your board owner is butthurt.
You guys and gals can probably remember every major event in #GG's history since August of 2014, and I'm sure a lot of you remember this one too:
THE PENNY ARCADE "DICKWOLVES" DEBACLE CLEAR BACK IN 2010.
I've seen it referenced both here and on /v/ as one of the major SJW issues in gaming before #GG came along. But somehow we missed something. We missed The Clique.
A long time ago, I was an avid PA reader and a major fan. Then in 2014, they made a post on the PA site weighing in on #GG that essentially threw us to the wolves and told us to give up. The people who waged a personal war against Jack Thompson were cowed by SJWs. I bore such a grudge over that, that I never went back to the site again. And so I missed it too.
The names.
LOOK AT WHO WAS RAKING PENNY ARCADE OVER THE COALS IN 2010 OVER THE DICKWOLF JOKE.
>Amanda Marcotte
>Dan Bruno
>Leigh Alexander
>Jenn Frank
>Arthur Gies.
>Wil Wheaton
>James Fudge
>Arthur Chu
>Nathan Grayson
>Courtney Stanton / @kirbybits (the one demanding DW merch be taken down from the PA store)
>Maddy Myers of the Boston Phoenix
IT'S A GODDAMNED WHO'S-WHO OF THE aGG CLIQUE.
Not only that, but the original post that started the shitstorm was an anonymous blogpost on the Shakesville forum.
The same clique that declared gamers dead were responsible for the cucking of Penny Arcade a full four years before #GG happened. To my knowledge no digging into those events has ever been undertaken - it being ancient history by Internet standards.
Guess what the purpose of this thread is?
>Who could have made the Shakesville blogpost?
>How were the journos tipped off?
>Was GJP, or some predecessor to it, actively involved?
>What are the connections between the clique back then? How deep did the whole thing go?
And my personal suspicions, which I'll copy and paste from my /v/ post earlier, before I noticed any of this.
>Sometimes I wonder if the cucking of Penny Arcade wasn't a planned act. Anyone remember the games media getting involved in it at any point?
>As popular, un-PC, and loudmouthed as Gabe and Tycho were, and as much utter hell as they caused Jack Thompson, it would stand to reason that they would have to be dealt with somehow before the "socialization" of vidya could be attempted in earnest. They had enough fans to DDoS sites by accident, just from linking them. Imagine if they had jumped on the ride with us back at the beginning. No way could the SJWs allow that.
THE GOAL:
Put together a packet of information we can send to Usher and other #GG friendly outlets, and expose that this conniving bullshit has been going on FAR longer than #GamerGate.
Get to digging anons. The rabbit hole apparently reaches back into the past, and I'll be right here alongside you.
Dragons + Puppies Respawned, Hugos On Life-Support
Old thread still 404s it only had about 3 posts anyway - relevant links here:

Looking for Missing/Old Bread
Anons, I need help finding very old bread for the GG wiki, how old you may ask? 2014 old. It's because "The Bakery" for all GG is a bit outdated, worst, some of the archive threads are not working (i.e. "Rule Britannia Edition" and "INTEL PULLS GAMASUTRA ADS" are regarded missing), I'd like to know where to go, find, and archive them while the going is good/if they're still around.
Fags, I need your help and advice.
I'm a devFag to be, I will be starting my Indiegogo campaign very soon. Before the end of the week.
It's a dungeon crawler with titties. More specifically, a dungeon crawler where the titties grows the stronger your toon become. Think a mix of Omega Labyrinth Z, Xenogears, Alundra and Persona.
I'm making two versions the game. The classic version, which I will outright sell with an uncensor patch, and the Patreon version, which will feature explicit sex scenes for Patreon supporters only. Nobody else will have access to that version.
Now, the advice I need is: Do I stay anon? I think it may be a good idea to go public with my identity to garner trust, I really don't want to scam people. On the other hand, if my identity is public, I will be crucified and quartered by the progressives.
Also, I will need your help to shill my game. What can I do?
Feminist Fapfrenzy Annual report?
Anybody noticed it anywhere? I mean Anita was publishing annual reports when they had good money coming in, but now I suspect they done a year they will show they are going bankrupt and they've already milked the cream out of the non-profit.
david-me just nuked Kotaku In Action

He went on a "YOU ALL BECAME NAZIS!" rant and set the board to private. Everything's gone.
#OPERATIONS Brainstorming General
MAKE THE HAPPENINGS
Things are slow as hell all over the #GG front these days. Twitter is slow, /v/ is slow, we are slow.
Remember the saying "Be the happening!"? We need to get back to that.
This thread is for throwing out ideas for operations. Twitter, digging, anything and everything you might have been sitting on or dreaming about doing, post it here and lets see if we can make something happen.
Escapist 2.0 - return of the movieblob
So… this just in: The Escapist has been bought by some new jokers, and the new managing editor is one Russ Pitts
http://deepfreeze.it/journo.php?j=russ_pitts
He posted this: https://medium.com/@russpitts/the-last-of-escapist-magazine-5dd4f852703a
Of note, he claims the following:
"One thing I can tell you without delay or equivocation: We’re leaving politics at the door. Most of us have thoughts about politics. Just like most of you. And, because we’re creators, those thoughts might show up in our work. Avoiding that would be unnatural. That said, I can promise you no one here will share their politics in an attempt to convince you yours are wrong. And your worth will not be calculated based on whether you’re on the left or on the right. Politics are everywhere, but they don’t have to be everything. We’re going to focus on what’s fun, and we hope you’ll join us in that."
>We’re leaving politics at the door
>I can promise you no one here will share their politics in an attempt to convince you yours are wrong
This sounds great… but… apparently one of the first things he's done as editor is re-hire Movieblob Chipman.
Movieblob wasn't slow to quickly declare this as some kind of victory:
https://twitter.com/the_moviebob/status/1022621991210287104
>"PS: Do I strike you as an apolitical hire"
ya… it seems that Russ running some very mixed messages here. Makes me wonder what kind of leash movieblob has been put on.
So far I haven't seen anyone ask about this on the escapist forums - but since I don't know if Russ has issued any new rules on moderation about this kind of stuff, then I'm sure if its even safe to ask. This could be the sign that the escapist will turn into a second Polygon… if Movieblob gets his way - or it Russ turns out to be a straight shooter, then it might be a turn for the better
though, who the fuck puts money in a games media website these days? None of them have been able to really turn that much of a profit, if any at all.
Goddess Mode: Zoe Quinn's DC comic
So how many guys did she slept with to enter the comics industry?
>from writer Zoë Quinn (Crash Override, featured in People’s 25 Women Who Are Changing the World and Forbes’ 30 Under 30) with art by Robbi Rodriguez (Spider-Gwen, FBP: Federal Bureau of Physics) will debut in December
>In a near future where all of humanity’s needs are administered by a godlike A.I., it’s one young woman’s horrible job to do tech support on it. But when Cassandra finds herself violently drawn into a hidden and deadly digital world beneath our own, she discovers a group of super-powered women and horrific monsters locked in a secret war for the cheat codes to reality.
No Nudes? No Peace!
PROBLEM (the skinny):
Valve isn't applying their terms and conditions for developers equally, and getting more hostile (along with being extremely selective) with what games they take down from the Steam storefront.
PROBLEM (the fat):
There has been a round of attacks on visual novels on Steam for having nudity, but nothing as bad as seen with the most recent event.
https://steamcommunity.com/app/339800/discussions/0/1692669912389350696/?ctp=2 (There's no archive as the discussion page is walled with a NSFW warning, a screencap is all I can conjure up)
However, at the same time, Lupiesoft had their game "Mutiny!!" taken down from Steam, despite being tame (Even the developer claims "Mutiny!!" is tame), making me think that this is Valve just angry at the success of Japanese developers.
After this user, who claimed "we're not taking away your videogames" on "Huniepop"'s discussion thread after it was threatened with a takedown has been found talking with players of other games about Capitalism being bad among other things, but with these two archives, I have reason to believe that the user named "purple" is merely just a shitposter.
Even with "Purple" just being a troll, the point still stands.
With all of the reporting of visual novels with art even barely inspired by Japanese cartoonists, along with Valve's lack of action against Western visual novel games that have sex equal or even more hardcore than what's found in the visual novels that Valve's taking down from the storefront, We're left with only one course of action.
COURSES OF ACTION:
Find any game steam that were positively covered (read: shilled for) by the games journos/AAA games having explicit content and flag it for review, citing whatever offensive material the game may contain.
(an example of this would be reporting "Grand Theft Auto V" for "violence", or "Ladykiller in a Bind" for "sexual content", etc.)
If Valve is being selective with rules that are clearly laid out, then it's best to male them to apply the terms equally across Steam.
If this fails, then it's best to just abandon Steam altogether in the future.
If that doesn't work, you can try contacting Valve directly, and see if you can't get someone from there (if there is anyone working there anymore besides Gabe Newell, that is) to talk or take action.

Good luck out there.
Final Heaven for Kotaku?
The Prophesied End
The website Kotaku, one of Gawker's former properties and one of the major opponents faced by #GG and gamers around the world, is in a dire situation. Univision, the new parent company who bought up Gawker's old properties (Gizmodo, Kotaku, Lifehacker, Deadspin, Jezebel, io9, and others) is currently facing a minor crisis.
Univision bought Kotaku in the wake of the devastating Hogan trial believing, to some degree, that the Gawker properties were actually breadwinners and that Gawker had merely been sunk by an untimely lawsuit. Why else would they sink millions of dollars into them? But the Gawker sites are now underperforming. Badly. DISNOD long ago stripped Gawker, and especially Kotaku, of its major ad revenue sources and many of us suspected that Kotaku itself was only being kept alive by cash infusions from other, slightly less crippled Gawker properties. Univision are now feeling that financial weight like an Albatross around their necks, and they are pissed. Word is that Univision is about to do a major overhaul and possible decimation of the old Gawker sites, and we have an opportunity to help them put Kotaku out of the entire Internet's collective misery.
The Idea
CONTACT UNIVISION
Direct your correspondence to the CEO Randy Falco and to whom it may concern.

The Message
The truth. You, and I, and everyone else on the goddamned Internet has been boycotting Gawker media's properties and advertisers for the past several years. This extends to Univision. And the retards who made us all mad enough to do this all work at Kotaku. Stephen Totilo. Nathan Grayson. Jason Schreier. Patricia Hernandez. Luke Plunkett (remember how he shamed the scientist who landed a probe on a comet?). All of them. Name names. There is no need to mention #GamerGate - as we always did, this is an individual effort.
Tell them that you're still mad as hell, and you're not going to take Kotaku's shit anymore. And then consider offering them this: If they either get rid of Kotaku completely, or get rid of every single one of the assholes working there and gut the place from Totilo on down, you will consider (not necessarily obligated to do, of course) ending your boycott of all the Univision properties.
The Ammunition
DEEPFREEZE
http://deepfreeze.it/outlet.php?o=kotaku
Everything you could ever ask for is at this link. Hitpieces. Conflicts of interest. You name it. Refresh yourself on why we've been doing this for four years, and really let them have it!
The Timetable
One week. We blow up their corporate contacts for one week starting today, with as many people as we can reach. This is time sensitive: Univision is working up their overhaul plan right now, and their employees are expecting layoffs to start within two weeks. We've got a narrow window to influence them, so don't sit around waiting for other people to do the work! Their message boxes being full come Monday morning would be the best outcome.
The Win Condition
Univision sees that keeping Kotaku around really is more trouble and expense than they're worth. Univision themselves are somewhat pozzed, but they bought Kotaku for one thing: To make money. If we convince them that Kotaku dying is good for their bottom line, then we can push them over the edge and put an end to that shitstain blog.
It's a chance too big to pass up.
Rest in peace TB.

Requesting for repository regarding gaming "journalists" bigtory and hatred towards Japan.
Hello, it's been a while since I really posted here. I usually lurk. In the previous 2 #GamerGate threads on /v/, I suggested that every attacks by video game journalists against Japan must have repository in future usage. Because people like us are going to need it.
Sort it by writer, website, genre(anime, culture, video games, manga) so it could be read clearly by people who will find the repository useful. Because if there's anything that needs documentation, it's their immense hatred against Nipland because they haven't fully bent their knees to feminism and social justice because equality and diversity. Their attacks won't go be forgotten.
PS: Post screencaps with archives both from archive.is/li/fo and Wayback Machine since there's some DNS problem regarding archive.is and some anons cannot access it.
WHO Proposes Gaming Addiction as a disorder
> The [World Health Organization] is proposing a new “Gaming Disorder” type of classification for addictive behavior, likening it to gambling disorder in a beta draft for their International Classification of Diseases for next year.
> The current proposition has the diagnosis listed under “disorders due to substance use or addictive behaviors,” and is also detailed as “mental and behavioral disorders that develop as a result of the use of predominantly psychoactive substances, including medications, or specific repetitive rewarding and reinforcing behaviors.”
> The classification goes on to describe this type of behavior:
“Disorders due to addictive behaviors are recognizable and clinically significant syndromes associated with distress or interference with personal functions that develop as a result of repetitive rewarding behaviors other than the use of dependence-producing substances,” words from the gaming section. “Disorders due to addictive behaviors include gambling disorder and gaming disorder, which may involve both online and offline behavior.”
> As this draft is in beta form, this doesn’t mean the World Health Organization is ready to label millions of gamers, including myself, as addicts. They could remove it before the final form is approved and published.
Irrelevant of actual addicts, we know this can and will be abused by the usual anti-gamer types to their advantage. If they can't claim games corrupt sane people, then they'll try to claim all gamers are addicted or insane. Other tricks could include hypocritical application- spending thousands of dollars on a mobile app is fine, but binging on a violent or new game when you get it is clearly a problem. Or watching X hours of TV, using the internet, or reading is not deemed addiction when the same amount of time gaming is.
As mentioned in the article's comments, waiting to see what happens won't work. We need to get the pitchforks out now to show we won't be fucked with or take it lying down.
All we have so far is contact info for WHO: http://www.who.int/about/contacthq/en/ not sure if asking them what the terms of diagnosis are would help us by exposing their hypocrisy or lack of understanding in replies, or just give them a guide on how to spin common questions they'll get.
Crash Override Network
Saw some TORnon talking about CON in the offtopic general (>>281680). Decided to make a thread because I'm autistic and can't find shit in the catalog. CON is Ms. Quinn's anti hate group. According to Wikipedia (https://archive.is/XtaRN) they're a "Pro bono support group for victims," however with Ms.Quinn's past in hell dump I wonder how much of her anti hate group is truthfully helpful. She links to her patreon (https://archive.is/FyFF2) and makes well over 3000 dollars a month, yet no one else's is mentioned. This implies Ms.Quinn's the main beneficiary of any and all donations–a literal "con" if you will. This makes me question who and what is actively helping her, overall, outside of the obvious parties.
Looking at Ms.Quinn's past, I noticed things that feel… preplanned.
> Congress (https://archive.is/kp8i3)
> Google (https://archive.is/hpdJC)
> UN (https://archive.is/mTdnY)
Quite an odd career path for a compulsive and chronic abuser who, by their own logic, raped their ex-boyfriend. So, GamerGate, what can you tell me about Ms.Quinn's Crash Override Network? What digging have you done? Is this just a massive conspiracy by Ms.Quinn to spread disinformation so others can be more easily doxed? Have you look at the self dox guide posted by con (https://archive.is/xo9lT)?
Now looking at what TORnon said, alternatives would be a good way to help dismantle and disprove CON, yet normies seem to lap up anything their news feeds or the talking heads on the TV say. If we were to start a campaign and offer up alternatives like Paranoidsbible (paranoidsbible.tumblr.com) or School of privacy (school-of-privacy.com) to normies, how would we go about showing them as being the betters of CON? School of privacy seems a bit too technical. Paranoidsbible is fine but doesn't seem to have the presence. One we can solve easily with boosting it across social media while the other we can't actively doing anything about.
So, what says you GamerGate?
Christian Group Is Pressuring Steam To Ban Visual Novels Over Sexuality Concerns
You probably heard the news somewhere on the internet that a puritanical Christian organization called Morality in Media (new name is called the National Center on Sexual Exploitation or NCoSE for short) is claiming that their responsible for the latest censorship on steam forcing games like Huniepop for example to censor more content or get permanently kicked off Steam.
Some info about them https://archive.fo/MLYFF
They talk about steam around the 11:30 mark

For whatever reason for Valve's irrational decision on attacking Anime games I'm making this announcement to encourage emailing Gabe directly or their VP of Marketing to reverse this decision. https://www.valvesoftware.com/en/contact?contact-person=Gabe%20Newell
https://www.valvesoftware.com/en/contact?contact-person=Doug%20Lombardi
Signing this change.org petition is optional too https://www.change.org/p/valve-software-do-not-remove-huniepop-and-other-sexual-content-games-from-steam
Someone made a google doc listing all the games affected so far by Steam https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1UglwdtWkWm51NNZplqd1_pUOLE8IyjDmdTQ8CdRsggo/edit#gid=0
I'll update this announcement if any news comes by regarding the future of these games but in case the worst does happen I'll promote these store alternatives below for any Visual Novel enthusiasts to flock to. https://www.dualshockers.com/steam-crackdown-adult-content-download-portals-help/
OP Goolag
HIT GOOGLE WHERE IT HURTS
So you want to kill google? And not just kill it, fucking demolish it? Three things need to happen. All of Google's money comes from advertising, analytics, and hosting. To kill google we need to drive up their operational costs while lowering their profits.
Fuck with their advertisements
If you have ever worked with adsense before you will know that the one thing they absolutely despise is telling people to click ads. They want people who are actually interested in products to click advertisements, because only they will be persuaded to purchase products. On top of that, companies pay google per click. If they are paying a ton of money and few people are buying their products, they will pull out.
STEP 1: Go on to youtube, google shopping, or anyplace else with adsense ads in private browsing mode on a vpn or proxy.
STEP 2: Click all the ads you possibly can
STEP 3: Hop on a new proxy/vpn/tor circuit, and clear out the browser
STEP 4: Repeat
???????
LOSS OF PROFIT
Fuck with their file storage (NOTE: This step has been discussed in the /tech/ thread, and consensus was it was highly unlikely to work unless we had HUGE numbers of people)
Google stores everything you upload, and keeps it there even if it gets "deleted." Storing stuff costs lots of money, and high speed ssd drives to keep it all on aren't cheap. The more you upload, the more they pay.
STEP 1: Choose a platform that allows you to upload files(eg: youtube, drive, gsites, ect)
STEP 2: Get a file that is at or over the maximum file limit
STEP 3: Upload it again, and again, and again, and again
EXTRA STEP: If you are doing youtube make a huge file with a ton of random music, text on the screen, and game footage. Their matching algorithm will have to go through your whole 1hr + video and match everything there for monitization.
??????
LOSS OF PROFIT
Fuck with analytics
Google is so popular in the analytics world because it can show advertisers what type of people are viewing their page (see http://theoutpost.observer/article.php?id=32 for a good explanation). If we can make this data unreliable then people will stop using google services.
STEP 1: Get a huge word dictionary
STEP 2: Make a small script that searches something entirely random every 20 minutes or so
STEP 3: Let it go as long as possible on as many accounts as possible
STEP 4: Go to random pages with tracking on them to give them fucked results
?????
LOSS OF PROFIT
Fuck with the advertisers (A.K.A. DisNod)
If companies think their users won't buy their products because of google then they will pull out and stop funding them. Youtube's budget got slashed when a few guys pulled out, just imagine what would happen if we could get a ton of people to leave.
STEP 1: Get a huge list of "medium" sized advertisers. Companies that are small enough that it is easy to get a message through to them but big enough that they have a large advertising budget.
STEP 2: Get huge volumes of well written emails to them saying that you (a past customer) are highly against google and don't want to purchase from a company that supports them. Talk about the quality of their products and say you don't want to take your business elsewhere. Sweet talk them.
STEP 3: Get fucktons of people to do this. Gamergate style, but bigger.
???????

Analyzing SJW - Learning how to make them expose their true natue
https://www.hooktube.com/watch?v=gosezCiZQKs
Intro is long so skip to 2:24 for a bit on social media that becomes relevant later (basically Social Media helps aggravate these personalities, as their fear of being judged by public opinion but crave approval) or 2:52 directly.
"Dangerous Personalities: An FBI Profiler Shows You How to Identify and Protect Yourself from Harmful People" by Joe Navarro. It has a segment on Paranoid Personalities that applies to SJW perfectly (Opinionated, Argumentative, Prone to Hate).
> They think their hyper sensitivity is a form of superior insight, so there's no room for debate with them. Logical, or even empirical proof, to them, is meaningless. Try to reason with them and you may be seen as a conspirator working against them, or worse, as an enemy.
> Paranoid personalities select and distort facts and history, stringing together disparate events and ideas to fit their views and justify their actions.
Other quotes from the video are a fucking mirror to what SJW do nowadays. A lot of the time we brush of SJW as simply being weak-minded and crazy. Likewise, normalfags only know them for being "dumb" rather than harmful. They see no connection between AntiFa and someone saying women being sexy is bad. They see no connection between someone who would mock or harass someone on social media for a "bad" opinion, and someone who would kill or cause serious harm for the same reason.
In depth analysis of paranoid personalities (as the book calls it) might help us out. Not to fix them (even if reversing it is possible, it'd require more attention and care on an individual basis than we can offer), but to expose the raging paranoia and hate to everyone.
Same reasoning behind OP Vulcan (learn how to debate, destroy their argument, and use their freak out to educate observers how SJW really are).
Objectives:
1. Get a PDF of "Dangerous Personalities: An FBI Profiler Shows You How to Identify and Protect Yourself from Harmful People" by Joe Navarro and post it here.
2. Dig into the section on Paranoid Personalities.
3. Using information learned, create new methods of discussion/interaction with SJWs/Globalists/Marxists/etc. with the intent to expose their hateful and paranoid nature- stripping away their social mask.
4. Create infographs, memes, etc. to spread on social media with the intent of:
A. Teaching others how to "spot" an SJW, how they escalate, how they react to certain stimuli. "This mentality is a threat to you" presented as "Look at this loser".
B. Teaching others step 3: methods of discussion/interaction with SJWs/Globalists/Marxists/etc. with the intent to expose their hateful and paranoid nature- stripping away their social mask. "This is how to eliminate a threat to you" presented as "here's how to get assholes like this to leave you alone."
Intent and End Goals:
I. Awareness & Pushback. More people using the Internet are prepared to bite back at SJW- whether it be mockery or actual derision. Much like how unPC opinions cannot be expressed online without SJW harassing or mocking you, we want the situation flipped so they cannot express their already disproven opinion without being mocked or derided. In turn this also gives SJW less power. Less SJW are prepared to dogpile someone for fear of being judged/mocked/etc. In short; Undo the illusion that SJW are the majority voice.
We do not expect the entire internet to fight back, but enough users to turn SJW into a mockery that can be safely mocked. In turn this will:
II. Business & Political Disassociation. Make it unprofitable for any business to promote SJW politics with their brand, due to association with a toxic group of people. Less adverts promoting SJW stuff, less people see it daily, less conditioning to make it "normal". The same also applies to politicians, so they cannot (openly) run on a platform based around SJW politics & beliefs.
III. Rejection From Positions of Influence. More people are aware of what an SJW is, and they reject them from social circles, using services they provide, or hiring them. Especially schools. In turn, people refuse to use businesses/schools/etc who hire SJW. Any association with an SJW is as bad as association with a "GamerGater" a few years back (and arguably now).
Show SJW are a danger, mock them, teach others to do the same, and make it socially unacceptable to be an SJW.
The only counter we need to be aware of is "rebranding" of SJW. Repackage the shit in different language and have the New SJW claim the old are awful- even though it's the same mentality and the same beliefs. This would require public comparisons of the new to the old, to show "the emperor has no clothes".
OP: Korean BBQ - Redpilling the west on S.Korea SJWs
Discussion on new S.Korea events goes here:
I made this it's own thread as I feel as it's own OP the thread will fill up fast.
If mods want to combine the two topics, please delete and repost this info in the S.Korea thread.
Recent events in S.Korea have exploded. Now being the perfect time to show the rest of the world what SJWs do to a country, and what SJWs do when they don't get their way.
Priority One:
Red pill people on S.Korean SJWs and the terrorist actions and insanity of Megalia + Daughters of Megalia.
Eliminate the DisInfo on No Shield being the Korean GG (it's not misogyny harassment either, and they're about letting certain companies get censored by the government because they were betrayed IMO it'll backfire, but that's discussion for the other thread.
Aim For:
People drawing conclusions that western SJWs could escalate to this level- or discredit western SJW by ideology proximity.
Avoid:
People thinking the S.Korea example is so extreme it'll "never happen over here" (by showing the opposite end of the scale, people can't see how they could get there)
Methodology:
Post info in comments of articles & tweets, get GookAnon to interview HeatSt (Gook says he will), create infographs (but find other sources to verify).
Follow Up Operations (in rough order of priority):
- Produce Infographs directly comparing S.Korea SJWs to western SJWs (to help the stragglers who've not yet made the connection)
- Contact other S.Korean anons to back up and verify information. believe it or not, some of this info has been verified on the S.Korea board of Reddit IIRC
- Get good outlets to produce stories in S.Korea
- Get S.Korean literate people to dig into Meligana and the connections. (Like Korean Huff Po. Pic coming up.).
- Push for anti-SJW stuff among certain groups that can be whipped into a frenzy easily (soccer moms, people with disdain for US education system/common core) using the S.Korea comparisons (In this instance, play to their ignorance. "It's foreign so it must be bad. They were against us in WW2 right?!") to get them to campaign against SJW shit in schools. Yes, the school will just rebrand it and carry on- but the more we make them have to cover their tracks and re-work, the more errors they make.
- Create documentation tracking how S.Korea wound up like this. I imagine it'll be /pol/ tier people using S.Korea as a testing ground, and if we kick over the wrong thing we'll get stung- HARD. But it'll help us find more string-pullers and dig into who or whatever they have fingers in.
- DisNod companies that fund S.Korea SJW or supported Meligana ("Hi [Advertiser/investor] did you know [company] supported terrorist group Megalia in S.Korea?"). This step may be unneeded if the previous steps go well.
Revenge of the Saltmines
After we get so many wins, getting bored of winning. They have came back for revenge!
REVENGE OF THE SALTMINES
The song dives into a college student suffering from Donald Trumpism, worst disease of it's kind. Donald Trump has won the presidential office and is taking names. Crybaby is left in a constant state of sadness, only aided on by her school classmastes.
The only way to absorb the full meaning of my video is to…
WATCH IT NOW!
Just realized the title sounds like Revenge of the Sodomites, comment below if you think it does
Syrup sucking socialists from Canada with 300 different gender pronouns
Yes, this dialogue is on an answering machine in "Far Cry 5". Full text follows and map to it below.
HURK DRUBMAN, SR.: Hello, this is…goddammit, Junior, this thing even recording?
HURK DRUBMAN, JR.: Yeah, it's on. You're doing a great job, daddy.
HURK DRUBMAN, SR.: I know I'm doing great. You come from my goddamn gonads, son. I don't ever need your opinion on how I'm doing.
Hello, I'm Hurk Drubman, Sr. I'm a veteran, small business owner, a loving father, and I'm running for State Senate.
I care deeply for Montana, which is why I can no longer sit back while this state and this country are turned into Canada by godless, gunless hippies who will not rest until democracy is dead and we're all eating ketchup chips. These syrup sucking socialists sneak into our country with 300 different gender pronouns and take our high paying jobs in entertainment and hockey! They don't care about our way of life. They want to take our guns, spread their liberal agenda, and give our daughters free abortions.
If elected, I'll put a stop to these maple leaf menaces to the north. I will make sure our healthcare is more expensive than ever. I'll remove the French courses from our schools. And I will require all Montanans who were born in Canada or share their politics to be deported or shipped to California.
Finally, I'll push for more strict immigration laws and build a 700 foot tall ice wall on our border, which I'll slowly move one inch north every year until Canada is American again. Make no mistake: If you're Canadian or that dirty liberal judge Andy Walker who ruled against me and let my gold digging ex-wife steal my fortune in the divorce, your days are numbered.
I'm Hurk Drubman, Sr. and I approved this goddamn message.
this was never about video games
Asshole on the right got his feelings hurt because a woman didn't lead a Christian lifestyle.
And for all your "hard work", Jeff Gerstmann told you to fuck off for not starting when he was fired, and Trump is gonna take away your video games.
VideoGame Violence Articles
In light of recent events (even Trump has said he's gonna look into violent video games & media), I think we need to make a database to spread.
1. Post a PDF or link to every report that proves videogames do not cause violence or make people crazy.
Articles talking about the reports/papers/dissertations/etc should also be posted here (archived). With their official tweet as well if you can.
2. Post a PDF or link to every report that shows how many people under the age of a game's rating own the game.
Same as the above. The intent is not to feed the enemy, but to show the parents are giving their kids material that is not appropriate for them. Blocks won't work if the parents seek out and get this material for their children.
Secondary Goals
3. Post a PDF or link to every report that shows social media affects kids negatively.
Same as above, and again, the internet is not to feed the enemy. SJWs and the hard-left rely on being able to appeal to young people so their politics are set as "normal" in their minds from a young age. Not to mention how social media ruins how people are supposed to socialize (to the point one of the Twitter founders says he regrets it).
> We need to stop kids from seeing material that makes them violent!
< Fine, lets stop them using Twitter to read CNN.
4. Post a PDF or link to every report that shows how kids are fucked up due to other factors outside of videogames.
Drugged for being hyper-active, boys punished for being masculine and girls punished for being feminine, kids being isolated due to their peers being brought up to not associate with anyone different from their interests, a lack of job prospects, a lack of good boyfriends and girlfriends, a lack of good friends, exposure to specific subjects too early in school (identity, sex, etc), a lack of identity outside of what they consume-
Basically answer the question: Why are the kids fucked up and miserable?
I mean we know (((why))), but we need to sugar coat the redpill and let normalfags realize it for themselves
Co-ordinate with /pol/ since I'm sure they'll have research on a lot of this (especially the secondary goals like 3 & 4).
The Bully Hunters incident
So you all must have heard by now of that fantastic trainwreck that was the entire "Bully Hunters" fiasco.
Yeah that scam crap to sell headsets.
I think we have enough info by now on it and this really needs to be in a thread, the dumpster fire burned down before it even began on April 12 at 7pm EST on Twitch.
Polygon admits flaws in ESRB's solution to microtransactions
Polygon: The ESRB’s new warning seems to hide loot boxes in plain sight
>Patricia Vance at first sounded a little confused by the pushback. Another reporter on the call Tuesday pointed out to Vance, the president of the Entertainment Software Rating Board, just how expansive the board’s new labeling of in-game purchases really was. Practically anything you see touted at E3 2017, The Game Awards, PlayStation Experience, it’s all carrying some kind of in-app purchase.
>Vance suggested that there are post-release expansions that are not offered for sale from within a game. I know I scratched my head trying to think of one; it sounded like the others on the line were, too. I tried to repeat the question in a different way, pointing out that a current game — South Park: The Fractured But Whole — has chapter extensions and a season pass, literally available from within the game (a bus stop serves as the marketplace for that). None of that was objectionable before loot crates hit the scene last fall. And there are no loot crates in the South Park game.
>Vance stuck to the message. A season pass and DLC offered from within the game gets the in-game purchases label, and the ESRB encourages all parents to set spending controls using tools on the platforms available.
>“The new In-Game Purchases label will be applied to games with in-game offers to purchase digital goods or premiums with real world currency,” the ESRB said in a statement, “including but not limited to bonus levels, skins, surprise items (such as item packs, loot boxes, mystery awards), music, virtual coins and other forms of in-game currency, subscriptions, season passes and upgrades (eg. to disable ads).”
>To me, it has the effect of obscuring, or normalizing (there’s a trendy word) the phenomenon of loot crates. If they’re just another in-game purchase, and gamers have tolerated them for years, what’s the BFD about this one, right? I’m not the only one who feels this way.
>A ‘Missed Opportunity’ to educate consumers
>”I think that’s absolutely the case,” said Rep. Chris Lee of Oahu, Hawaii, the state legislator behind a series of bills being considered by Hawaii’s assembly. They had hearings two weeks ago and the state’s House of Representatives and Senate are now considering each other’s proposals for a full vote in their chambers. “Nearly every major title has some form of in-game purchase. This label hides whether those purchases are a large downloadable piece of content or an endless loot box mechanic. So people have no idea, no way to find out until after they have purchased the game.”
>Lee is right. Go through our Top 10 Games of 2017. All but one (Everything) contain some kind of in-game purchase that conforms to this new labeling standard. No one is accusing Nier: Automata, Persona 5 or The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild of the kind of obnoxious behavior seen in Star Wars: Battlefront 2, or what caused Call of Duty: WWII to alter its rollout of real-money purchases.
>In sports, my area of expertise, the last game I could find that had no in-game transactions was Rory McIlroy PGA Tour, which launched in mid-2015. The Golf Club 2, an unlicensed challenger, has some benign premium DLC to boost a player’s career. NBA Playgrounds, which I didn’t care for but which was at least praised for having, at launch, an old-school progression of unlocking the roster, has some extra characters for sale. Sure, EA Sports Ultimate Team has been around for nine years across now five titles, but MLB The Show, Pro Evolution Soccer and, especially, NBA 2K all have variants. And the “training points” for MLB The Show’s Road to the Show career mode, which I’ve likened to virtual PEDs, predate all of that.
>Lee overreached a bit, in my view, when he invoked FIFA 18 as a game “built around loot box gambling, that continues to be rated for all ages, with zero meaningful disclosure that they contain in-game gambling.” Ultimate Team is contained to a single mode of play, many don’t prefer it, and you can easily get $60 worth of play out of all the other modes it offers.
A private internet
So with talks about SESTA/FOSTA going through despite warnings from everyone (Including the DoJ, and a number of politicians), some Anons are asking the question of "How will we build another internet?"
That's what the purpose of this topic is for discussing.

Net Neutrality Aftermath - OP Chickasaw
Net Neutrality is dead, but technically it's always been with us:
>In 1946, the Supreme Court decided the case of Marsh v. Alabama, in which a Jehovah’s Witness was arrested for trespassing because she was distributing religious literature in Chickasaw, Alabama, a town that was wholly owned by the Gulf Shipbuilding Corporation. Marsh argued that because the town’s roads and sidewalks were the only means by which she could exercise her freedom of speech—and because the town of Chickasaw had been open to public use in all other respects—the trespassing arrest violated her rights under the First Amendment.
>In a 5-3 decision, the Supreme Court ruled in Marsh’s favor. Justice Hugo Black decreed that private entities do not have the right to ban speech on their property if they happen to own a monopoly on the means by which speech can take place. Black also argued that the more that private entities open their property up to public use, the fewer rights they have to control or ban what people do on that property.
>Given that Google, Twitter, Apple, Facebook, and other edge providers are publicly-accessible entities that have deliberately pushed for monopoly control over the Internet, it’s clear that Marsh v. Alabama prohibits them from censoring right-wingers. The statute also applies to ISPs, since they wield a monopoly over Internet access. All it would take to shut down online censorship is a halfway-decent lawyer arguing that these left-wing Big Tech companies are literally violating the Constitution.
Big Tech Companies are already violating the Constitution, and ISPs would too if they throttle!
< Spreading the word
Using a tweet as an example (baring in mind you can also use GAB or Minds):
twitter.com/MockNDrole/status/941464844196352000
> Don't be clickbait, briefly explain why Net Neutrality was unnecessary by one of the points mentioned in the archive- in fact, include it as well.
> Tailor to your audience. Most of your followers Right Wing? Tell them how Google and Twitter are already breaking the constitution for silencing conservatives. Most of Your Audience like Net Neutrality? Explain how it's already in the Constitution!
> If you focus on one point- include a screencap where in the post it says it- and highlight it in the archive. This gives you a new URL that'll highlight the same area and scroll down for whoever clicks on it, like so: https://archive.is/yAryk#selection-615.0-637.42 - include the original URL as well (https://archive.is/yAryk)
> Include #NetNeutrality because it's trending,and those into it will see it when searching as well.
> Post your tweet here to spread the info quicker via old-fashioned SignalBooster tactics.
You can also write to your senator! (Literally search "How do I contact my senator" or "How do I contact the senator of [state] and you'll find it.)
< TL;DR (more posts below but summarized here)
> Make Tweets, Infographs and the like to spread on social media.
> Write to your senator.
> Repackage the archive to manipulate leftists.
> Keep pushing.
Unverified "leak" on cuckchan for audio/AI marketing in vidya, BEYOND SLIMY IF TRUE
Still unconfirmed. It was reported to be a dead man's switch going off.
Imgur gallery that was posted

If you want to try and dig to see if its legit or fake, feel free to
There's a lot of sketchy thinks that would detract from potential legitimacy, but there are aspects to it that are legitimate such as linking to peer-reviewed scientific journals that aren't necessarily common knowledge for comparisons to their "research"
Twitter Post Purge: Kill or Break?
In light of the recent Twitter Purge bans/shadow bans, we need a plan
> Spread articles like: https://archive.is/Bibwn (Tweet: twitter.com/OneAngryGamerHD/status/943034821625991169) - The headline of this one sucks, but the body is good.
> Spread videos like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mZs-1XLw0s
> Spread information from the #TwitterPurge hashtag: twitter.com/search?q=%23TwitterPurge&src=tyah
> Keep pointing out how Antifa and SJW threats are not banned. The more the bias is seen, the better. Include Twitter's stock code ($TWTR) as well to make shareholders shit themselves.
> Find out if you are shadow banned: http://shadownban-checker.xho.bedita.net/
> If you get banned/shadowbanned, make a new account and keep RTing and spreading information they want to censor- why give them their perfect "safe-space" platform? They didn't leave us in peace, and would snuff out where we refuge if given the chance. Become Umman Manda (pic related). I'm not saying raid. But I am saying we should make them work hard for a change.
> Spread alternatives (Mastadon, Gab.Ai, Minds, Bluehand, Wrongthink.net etc). Remember, we want to stop Twitter being the "main" social media hub. So spread around even the ones you don't like (as long as they function- any biases can be solved by dilution. Better than taking all the eggs from one basket, and putting them in another basket- along with the rotten ones). Include Twitter's stock code as well ($TWTR) to make shareholders shit themselves.
> Ask companies you "like" (i.e. those you buy from or you think are big) if they have accounts on the alternatives (where applicable). Attack Twitter's wallet by getting big companies to jump ship, or at least have a foot in another one so as Twitter continues to decline they have more temptation to abandon it ("Well, we have an alternative already set up"). DisNod basically- maybe organize weekly targets?
> Use alternatives more (post your accounts here if you need to connect with GG people). Being they are not SJW/Marxist either, it should be a better class of people to interact with as well.
Happy New Year!
Well anons, its 2018! Once again the Christmas Stalingrad comes to an end, and #GamerGate is still here.
Some Announcements!
As you can see, we still have some decent activity going on, as the various factions and branches of #GG continue to pursue their goals.
>EA is taking a beating over the Battlefront II lootbox controversy
>Magic the Gathering is seeing a moderate sized eruption of a #GG-like phenomenon after permabanning one of their commentators for being a shitlord
>Gawker is meddling around with an attempt to revive
>Tencent is up to some shady shit
>Our Wikipedia article still sucks and the bullshit going on over there continues to compromise the integrity of their entire site
>and much more!
8chan continues to do well, with over 12000 UIDs among the first page of boards. A considerable recovery from the damage done by Josh and the 8chan site issues, so props to Codemoney for handling that.
Hotwheels, our beloved former admin, literally found Jesus and became a religious man this year. I'm happy he's found a comfortable place in life there in the Philippines.
There was a recent resurgence in aGG activity on Twitter a few days ago, attempting to push Twitter to ban #GG related accounts in their Great Wrongthink Purge. This failed, and nearly all of #GG who were still on Twitter yet remain, including yours truly somehow.
And I have a present for you! A project is now underway called Project Alexandria. The goal of which is to
REVIVE THE ORIGINAL GG WIKI!
How this came about is a bit of a long story, but the long and short of it is that your paranoid board owner was attempting to preserve the Wiki back when it existed on gamergate.me, and was successful without ever realizing it. A local copy has been stored safely on my hard drive since 2015, and was recently rediscovered. I have teamed up with the eminently respectable host of Deepfreeze and purchased a domain name for it, and we're going to bring it back. Then we're going to merge all the new information from the defunct partial wiki attempt at thisisvideogames.com into it and open it up to GG supporters once again!
So have a great new year everyone! There's plenty to look forward to, even some nice games coming out!
#GamerGate FBI Investigation FOIA RELEASE
So one of our Twitterfront peeps just got back a FOIA request he made about the FBI investigation into #GG.
From the sound of it he got a couple CDs of redacted documents going all the way back to September 2014.
https://twitter.com/whenindoubtdo
Notable things so far:
The bomb threat against Anita in Utah is hilariously bad and full of memes.
Someone used the dox of a senior admin at Intel and tried to open a bank account with it.
Apparently at least one person back on halfchan sent threats and got busted.
Some underageb& admitted to sending someone 40-50 harassing phonecalls and got busted.
Apparently /baph/ is mentioned by name? Sounds like it, anyway. Pics related to all of the above.
They're going to do a full dump on KiA, and the information is working its way to Usher and Techraptor as we speak. Or in other words…
IT'S HAPPENING!
Tencent digging/infographic creation thread
Let's try to collate, combine and centralize any and all information we have on these slimebags, eventually leading to some OC and infographics we can dump on twitter, leddit and wherever whenever a product of their's is released, or just for general usage and redpilling.
Here's a start from anon in the gg thread:
Newest Tencent article on (((Wikipedia))).
The most interesting parts in it are Controversy paragraph and third text paragraph.
Controversy
Copying claims
>Many of Tencent's software and services are remarkably similar to those of competitors.
>The founder and chairman, Huateng "Pony Ma" Ma, famously said, "[To] copy is not evil." A former CEO and President of SINA.com, Wang Zhidong, said, "Pony Ma is a notorious king of copying."
>Jack Ma of Alibaba Group stated, "The problem with Tencent is the lack of innovation; all of their products are copies.
>As of 2009, the company held 400 patents.
Anti-malware software cheating allegations
>In 2015, security testing firms AV-Comparatives, AV-TEST and Virus Bulletin jointly decided to remove Tencent from their software whitelists.
>The Tencent products supplied for testing were found to contain optimizations that made the software appear less exploitable when benchmarked but actually provided greater scope for delivering exploits.
>Additionally, software settings were detrimental to end-users protection if used. Qihoo was later also accused of cheating, while Tencent was accused of actively gaming the anti-malware tests.
Criticism on King of Glory
>The People's Daily published two articles criticizing the Tencent owned game King of Glory, due to its purportedly addictive nature among Chinese youth.
>Share prices for Tencent drop dramatically by 5% on the days the articles were published.
Third text paragraph fragment
>On 20 November 2017, it became the first Asian company to cross the US$500 billion valuation mark, and has also surpassed Facebook to become the world's most valuable social media company, while joining the ranks of the top 5 biggest firms in the world alongside Apple, Alphabet, Microsoft and Amazon.
Gawker may come back from the dead
We need to have a frank discussion about new developments concerning Gawker. You may have been under the impression that Uni vision purchased Gawker last year, that was not technically true. Univision purchased Gizmodo Media Group a holding company with the shitty sites Gizmodo, Jezebel, Deadspin, Kotaku, Jalopnik, and Lifehacker; Gawker itself was not included. The Judge allowed Nick Denton to delay the sail of Gawker itself because GG had made it so toxic that it would have dragged down the value of the other assets if bundled.
Well the actual Gawker site is now getting ready to be auctioned off along with the rights to sue Peter Thiel for his roll in helping Hogan achieve justice. Seriously the rights to sue someone is being auctioned. Anyhoo the nigger fucking faggot Nick Denton wants to bid for it, Peter Thiel himself wants to bid but some probably illegal bullshit is happening to block him and a bunch of former employees are on kikestarter wanting you to help them buy it for them because they want to work for themselves like a bunch of commie hippy fagots.
Anyway after reading over kikestarters TOS it's clear that what they are trying to do is in clear violation. You cant use kikestarter to be mean or victimize anyone, gawker literally is all about that. And this campain states that they want to preserve all the old articles and shit.
I was half way into writing the report pointing out specific instances of there bullshit like when they made fun of someone for having his dad die or a woman for having cancer. But like what would I achieve, if they get kicked from kikestarter they would just try to Streisand it and get even more victim bux from some other platform.
Also I don't know if these hippies would be the worst owners. Someone's going to end up with the website. Presumably if Peter gets it he would shut it down but he may not want to pay the final asking price or he may not be allowed to even bid. Denton did a class act of fucking it up the first time maybe he could fail a second? Maybe these hippies will find out just how hard it is to play with the big boys.
One of the most hilarious aspects of the kikestarter campaign is that if they get funded but don't win the bid for the site these jews wont refund any of the backers. They say they will just use the money to build a new site. I kinda want to see fools getting separated from their money.
https://archive.fo/1hNYe - the kikestarter page
Side kick is currently giving them an 88% chance of getting funded.
So like, how do we play this. Do we ignore it, should we shill it to liberals to see them loose their money, should we try to shut it down reporting for TOS violations and smear it publicly? I know I'm fallible, kinda want to see if our hive mind can come to a consensus on the best course of action.
Depression Quest in Polygon's Top 500 Greatest Games Of All Times
Did anyone check out Polygon's Top 500 Greatest Games Of All Times? They added Depression Quest in the list. That's not all. They also added Gone Home in the list too, and it's ranked higher than Chrono Trigger and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time!
What the fuck was Polygon thinking?! Did Zoe Quinn had some Five Guys Burgers And Fries at Polygon headquarters or something??
Sexual Harrasment Database
The purpose of this thread:
Catalog all cases of anti-GG/SJW/"virtuous" companies/marxist pushers and those who talk down to us about being immoral who have skeletons in their closet. Main focus is aGG and game related companies.
With how sexual assault has been under more scrutiny, this could escalate until those really high up in important industries can get fucked.
If you fix corruption in gaming, it can happen in other industries by laying the ground work and have the general public more informed to not tolerate it in other fields. Not to mention more sexual assault can be reported as more progress is made.
There is a delicate balance with false accusations however.
Only post 1 accusation per post. If it turns out it is fake- then it makes it easier to delete
Gamergate Wiki Editing
Hi, I'm MikiSayaka33 and new to contributing to the Gamergate wiki. I'm just posting to find the higher up guys who contribute to the wiki.
Also, to let them know that one of the pages has been vandalized! It's the OP: Olive Branch page http://archive.is/ni2y6
The worst thing is that guy who did the vandalism is still there and may attack the other pages (There's only so much an under rank contributor can do).
Happy Anniversary #GamerGate!
It's the Third Birthday!
Today is August 28th, which is the day that this and the previous GG boards have traditionally celebrated the birthday of #GG. August 27th was the day Adam Baldwin first coined the hashtag itself, but it was the following day that consensus was reached on /v/ to formally adopt the tag and take up the #GG mantle to spread word of our cause.
What was a Twitter tag created to point attention at a scandal became a banner under which gamers and free speech advocates from all over the global Internet rallied to stick up for our hobby in the face of a hostile media and a nearly equally hostile world.
They said we wouldn't last a month. We did.
They said we wouldn't last through Christmas. We did.
They said we wouldn't last through Destiny. We laughed our asses off.
They said we wouldn't last a year. We did.
They said we wouldn't last two years. We did.
They said we were dead. Then we got the blame for electing Donald Trump!
It's been a hell of a ride. I never imagined, when I stepped into the Burgers and Fries threads on /v/ in 2014, that things would wind up like this. Multiple warfront, mainstream media getting involved, a civil war within #GG and winding up a board owner myself. That we'd be in an episode of Law and Order. Now today we have books being written about us, and hitpiece headlines are still coming out on a weekly basis.
We just wanted to play videogames!
As I'm sure you've noticed, the old board here is pretty dead. Between all the chaos of the big board war and attempted takeovers by the IRC faction, most of 8chan lost interest in the game. We still have a valuable purpose as a safe harbor, and as a repository and discussion board for the information still flowing in from all over the #GamerGate network. It's times like this, when carrying on is hard and takes actual work, that you learn who really cares about the cause, and who was just around for the drama high and happenings.
Ultimately I'm just one asshole on the Internet, no more or less important than any other, so take this for what its worth, but… I'm proud of you. All of you. We've done something unparalleled in the entire history of the Internet, and we aren't done yet! Polygon has recently been discovered to be cheating on the FTC's rules again. You'll find it in the board catalog a little ways down. So on today, our third anniversary, how about we stoke the old fire and send a few emails to the FTC? That's how I'm gonna celebrate.
Cheers, GGHQ! And cheers to all of 8chan and #GamerGate!
THREE MORE YEARS OF SHITLORDS!
Article Archive Database
While GG Wiki is rebuilding, and after what happened with Tech Raptor (https://archive.is/AxZEs)- I think it's important we get our most crucial info saved to prevent being memory hole'd. And this might just help the wiki building guys to boot.
1. Find GG articles that cover GG honestly.
2. Archive them. Use more than just Archive.is (WaybackMachine, and a few others) (If they are videos on youtube, download them. Search for how, or shove "ss" in the front of the url. I.e. ssyoutube.com/blah)
3. Post them here (if you can. Some videos might be too big, look into video conversion).
4. Download the archive (we can't bank on Archive.is being up forever).
IMO priority order should be:
- Honest GG coverage (OneAngryGamer, NicheGamer, Mombot's work, etc).
- Study of SJW, and how to beat them/lessen their reach.
- Evidence of SJW doing what they do best.
- Evidence of Journalist lack of ethics, professionalism, and attacking their own demographic (this is done by DeepFreeze for gaming websites, hence it's so low- however major MSM should still be archived.)
OP: ESRBusted
(Source on first image: https://archive.is/GQXVf#selection-333.54-333.58)
The ESRB has been at the center of the censorship in vidya in recent years. Everyone scrambles for a T Rating, yet getting that rating is inconsistent. Not to mention the ESRB is charging an arm and a leg for it. Most stores refuse to sell anything without an ESRB rating, but small indies get away with it. If the ESRB got bigger, it could become mandatory (as in, all vidya media must have an ESRB rating- no matter how small the studio). The ESRB is almost there already, but after a few generations, you could have the ESRB refusing to classify some titles for being crass and inappropriate for all. And who should decide what is inappropriate for all in the future?
Goal
Either we drag the ESRB's reputation through the mud (too expensive, doesn't do it's job properly, is outdated as a guide to parents and consumers, does not assist the industry in a process that is almost needed), or they change their ways and/or costs.
Big companies would want the ESRB cheaper (but probably want to keep it around so the Mature label can be used in advertising), smaller companies would want the ESRB cheaper, and the (good) consumers would want the ESRB to have less power. Those who want to use the ESRB as a deterrent for "problematic" games get shafted when it loses it's teeth, and bad parents have to admit they never did the research in an age of youtube instead of blaming devs.
Methodology
Basic spreading & digging.
No major/decent dev is gonna reject the ESRB until it's reputation is reduced, and any backlash is minimal. So, under a new hashtag (ESRBusted) we showcase the worst of the ESRB:
- Expense.
- Anti-Developer practices.
- Inconsistent Ratings (as well as possible signs of bias- against Japanese games or "problematic" themes, etc).

Follow the whole chain by him- download the images. I'll attempt to repost during the week, but if anyone has free time I'd recommend they do it.
When the ESRB responds to these claims (if we apply enough pressure they will), get trusted journos to write about it, shill their articles and research, and apply more pressure.
This is not to shift the blame of censorship from devs or producers- most of them wanted the lesser rating for a wider audience and more money. I wouldn't recommend making it sound like it's entirely the ESRB's fault (disinfo, even in our favor, can only end badly), but as an individual, you can decide how to present this info to some groups (i.e. getting Capcom fans thinking they're crusading for Capcom when the ESRB "made" them censor SV5). Do it your way, but never lie.

OPERATION: Trans Pacific Shitstorm
The TPP is coming people
This deal has been in the shadows for months, but we have one clean shot to kill it for good. The Bill does have a 60-public reading period where criticisms have a chance to flourish against the bill. Our mission:
WE MUST OVERREACT IMMEDIATELY
We've only scrapped the surface of how much of our shit this can kill (online downloads, mods, chans, doujiins, cosplay,…list goes on) on top of corporations being able to sue governments more liberally. This is SOPA and PIPA back and worse than it's ever been.
Fight the good fight, email your senators, post on social media, trend a hashtag, don't let a single politcian think they can keep their chair touching this
Twitch DisNod Target
Webm related.
In Theory
It could help clean up a decent chunk of a gaming community, by getting rid of a large group looking to get a free ride off beta males, and subvert the community. That gets a few more people on GG's side as we try to make services and the like about games for gamers.
The admins follow the camwhores- so we've got more soyboys and potential "male allies" who are bound to get pissed their spank-bank got shut down. Yet, complaining about it would make them look bad, and get more eyes on the camwhores, proving Twitch can't do shit, and isn't advertiser friendly.
Twitch is also owned by Youtube/Google IIRC. So you're taking money out of their pocket.
Finally, Twitch banned "problematic" games in the past (not even porn games), and having a pseudo-monopoly on streaming isn't good for anyone.
In Practice
"GamerGate chases off Camwhores women off Twitch!" writes itself. We should never not do something out of fear of backlash (they'll pin fake shit to us, so why not)- but if it's not an essential target, we could drop it for more important things. Of course, each individual can do whatever Ops they see fit.
If you approve- find people who sponsor or advertise through Twitch- and let them know the admins are fine with nip-slips and softcore porn as long as they can see it as well.
Need evidence of Dan Olson/Laurelai Bailey collusion
Fellow anons, I am arguing with a dude who, despite seeing all this faggotry https://twitter.com/sarahbuttnaked/status/551229091459125248?lang=en isn't convinced Laurelai and Dan Olson tried to honeypot 8chan and get it taken down for CP. He thinks screencaps might be fake, or that Laurelai citing Olson on her wiki isn't enough evidence they knew each other.
So if anybody can deliver: I need some more proof, preferably archives since they can't be shopped, or anything that shows correspondence between Olson and Bailey.

Getting ready to avoid appropriation of GamerGate by new audiences
>all these people blaming trump on gamergate in articles everywhere
>breitbart getting a top-spot in trump's government, very likely Milo will somehow mention us
GET FUCKING READY
Gamergate autocompletes again on twitter, which means that the very second trump or any of his very close advisors starts even MENTIONING us, you have be ready as shit
IF IT HAPPENS YOU HAVE TO MAKE GAMERGATE TREND AGAIN WITH VIDEOS, GRAPHICS AND SCREENCAPS TO TEACH EVERYONE WHAT IT IS ABOUT, JUST LIKE THE GOOD OL' DAYS
>Get your GG folder ready anon, you will possibly need it VERY soon
The purpose of this thread is to gather and plan ahead the very high possibility that Gamergate becomes an actual, heavy, present matter in the soon-to-be American government, and to ensure it doesn't get turned into another loud and ridiculous shouting match.
Collections of facts, screencaps, graphics, videos, etc. are necessary for easy and quick sharing. Statistics about political affiliations of the GG population, wikis, history articles, anti-gamergate exactions, etc. will always be useful.
The point isn't "PR". The media is at an all-time low in terms of trust from the general population, which implies people will seek information and knowledge from social media first and foremost; spreading gamergate's victories, goals and supports will ensure we get fresh blood, sure, but also that it isn't driven away from its actual purpose.
For example, here's a list of important outlets which have openly supported Gamergate :
- Wikileaks
- the SPJ
- the FTC…
A list of developers :
- Mark Kern
- Ethan James Petty (not officially I believe, touchy then, but eh)
- Gilles Matouba
- Huniedev
- Denis Dyack…
Again, the point of this thread is to make sure we have enough material for a POSSIBILITY. If Trump or his team never once mention us, it might probably be for the best.

So, the leak is subdivided into what they've done/said. It fits into one or more of these categories:
- Confession of doing something illegal.
- Confession of planning to do something illegal.
- Confession to want to do something illegal.
- Begging for ego stroking or wanting to move up within the clique.
- Something that investors would want to distance themselves from.
- Something normalfags would want to distance themselves from.
- Something "beginner" SJW would want to distance themselves from.
- Something that would redpill "beginner" SJW would realize SJW "leaders" are hypocrits
I assume nothing would dissuade a hardcore SJW.
We need to organize each of those leaks akin to Deep Freeze (without the website- just put it in the file name and for internal use), and then send it to the relevant people (law enforcement, FemFreq advertizors/partners, Twitter shareholders since support won't do jack and social media to kick up a storm. If law enforcement can deal with it- do NOT put it on social media. Or it'll drive other evidence the cops could fin underground)
- Organize.
- Deciding who to send send what to.
- Infograph creation for the above.
- Spread and share.

3rd Year Anniversary GamerGate Video
GamerGate affected me profoundly, and I know there are others who were similarly affected. We were always right. We were right about the incestuous nature of game journalism. We witnessed how a rigid ideology of victimhood created massive blindspots not just in games journalism, but wider mainstream media, how the exact same handful of individuals would be quoted as gospel.
Such a huge range of people were mischaracterized to an extreme degree that it served to inform us on how untrustworthy establishment media is. The 'official' narrative is drastically wrong. Despite this, GamerGate became an effective information network to counter establishment narratives, shaping online discourse for years to come. GamerGate was a pivotal moment in the Great Meme Wars.
I was moved by the memes, the artwork, the pages of digging and archiving, hours upon hours of well reasoned discussion whether on forums or on video, all of which went ignored by media. Those first 6 months or so of GamerGate were something special, hundreds of thousands of people finding each other through the false-narrative, finding each other in the darkness. We were ahead of the curve of mainstream discourse because we knew that we were individuals acting towards common goals, and it didn't matter who was left wing or who was right wing, that the media's black and white view of politics only divides people rather than fostering much needed discussion. We recognized the identity politics moral panic for what it was, years before we saw it affect the mainstream in huge ways, like how we've seen with James Damore at Google. GamerGate is a part of history.
I was moved to create a video in an attempt to capture what I believed the heart of GamerGate to be. This video serves as not just information and summary, but as a love letter to the people of GamerGate.

Fresh Salt - Wages Edition
Founder of WildTangent, Alex St. John wrote a piece about the gaming industry and wages - about how making games pretty much always includes a 'crunch time' to get the work done and how long hours are just part of the deal. Nothing new here you'd think - except what he wrote has generated a backlash from the usual suspects he didn't expect:
>I just wrote a guest column for VentureBeat that apparently … has caused shock and outrage among lazy millennial hipster game developers
Original article:

Social Justice
"Social Justice" is an interesting couplet of words. A term originally without a dictionary definition, it exists far more by what it implies rather than what any one person or group categorizes it as.
Of the definitions available by Merriam Webster, the most appropriate would seem to be
>"Social:" of or relating to human society, the interaction of the individual and the group, or the welfare of human beings as members of society.
"Justice" has similarly fitting options:
>"Justice:
>a: the maintenance or administration of what is just especially by the impartial adjustment of conflicting claims or the assignment of merited rewards or punishments.
>c (1) : the principle or ideal of just dealing or right action (2) : conformity to this principle or ideal.
A common theme of the second definition is that it is related to the management and application of what is just.
>Just:
>c : conforming to a standard of correctness.
>a (1) : acting or being in conformity with what is morally upright or good.
So in aggregate we have Social Justice definable as:
>Conformity to the principle or ideal of what is morally upright or good, as applied to the interaction of individuals and human society.
Sounds nice on paper, doesn't it? "When people interact, they should do so in moral and good ways, or with an eye to create moral and good outcomes."
The fly in the ointment is an implicit but unanswered question. That question is, briefly: Who is deciding what is morally upright and good in this context?
Leaving that for a moment, I'd like to address the concept of "justice" in the more common and less dictionary sense. Generally speaking, "justice" is understood to mean "equality of outcome." If a person is negligent and injures you, they have to pay your medical bills until your outcome - your physical condition, is back to where it was. When this is accomplished, "justice" is said to have been served. When a man commits robbery, he will have to forfeit a portion of his life and his assets, though prison and reimbursements, until "justice" is served. When a person commits murder, he can be sentenced to the death penalty. His life lost for the life he took. "Justice" is served.
In the way "justice" is normally used, it is an indirect reference to a sort of natural balance that exists between people, and which other people are not allowed to wantonly disturb. When a person unlawfully disturbs the balance in their favor, society has a right to move the balance back (at the interloper's expense), typically through collective or representative action, as by a government.
If we use this "common sense" definition and look at the two words again, a much more clear definition brings itself together:
>Social Justice:
>Commitment to the ideal of enforcing equal outcomes between individuals, groups, and human society, particularly when it is understood that doing so makes a person morally upright and good.
Now that does seem to ring a bell, doesn't it?
The official definition, by the way, is this:
>justice in terms of the distribution of wealth, opportunities, and privileges within a society.
Reading into it a bit and expanding the definitions we get:
>The administration of people who are acting or being in conformity with what is morally upright or good, especially by the assignment of merited rewards or punishments, in terms of the distribution of wealth, opportunities, and privileges within a society.
If I may make a tiny leap, it then stands to reason that an average person would not immediately hold that unequal distribution of wealth, opportunities, and privileges are moral or good. Which ties nicely into the "equality of outcomes" part in my off-the-cuff definition above. For all practical purposes the two are fundamentally interchangeable since, after all, you can merit those who have less "wealth, opportunity, or privilege" while punishing those who have more until the "balance" I spoke of between members of society is level.
"Punching up", "punching down", "the nail that sticks up gets the hammer", "check your privilege" - these are all memes that SJWs use that very clearly reference this definition, once it is properly understood.
Note carefully, however, that much likely a badly-written law in the legal books, this definition doesn't have any exceptions included in it for varying circumstances. It's a blanket statement. Implicitly, what it says is:
>Commitment to the ideal of enforcing equality of outcomes in the interactions of individuals, groups, and society is morally upright and good, and should be merited.
And the implicit inverse as well:
>Non-commitment to the ideal is not morally upright and good, and can be punished.
And where would we be without the third part of that wonderful trifecta of words. The WARRIOR part.
Warrior:
>a person who fights in battles and is known for having courage and skill
And there we have it. The proper definition of the SJW:
>A person who fights in battles that enforce equality of outcomes in the interactions of individuals, groups, and society, and is known for having courage and skill.
They're the ones who hand out the "merit" and "punishment" mentioned in the passages above, and their doing so means that they themselves are considered morally upright and good by their peers.
Note again, the lack of exceptions.
There are no "but"s or "unless"s in any part of this.
It does not say that an SJW is not still "morally upright" if they are a pedophile.
It does not say that an SJW is not still "good" if they are an abuser.
It does not say that an SJW is undeserving of "merit" if they are a liar.
And it does not say that a non-SJW is undeserving of "punishment" for anything. Only that "punishment" is used to administer social justice.
The entire ideology down to the definitions that make up the name is self-referential and totally exclusionary. You're either with them, and thus meritorious, good, and morally upright, or you are not with them, and thus not morally upright, not good, and subject to "punishment" if they judge that your outcome (in wealth, opportunity, or privilege) is more than equal to another person's. Owing to human limitations and the size of a person's Monkeysphere - the "another person" to whom a candidate's "wealth opportunity and privilege" are compared will most often be someone the SJW personally knows, like a friend or acquaintance. And considering the exclusionary nature of the ideology, that friend or acquaintance will most likely be an SJW themselves.
Furthermore, it stands to reason that a person who is "under attack" can be viewed by default as being in an un-just situation. When Alice pins Bob to the floor and beats his head into the concrete, no reasonable person would argue that Bob has the advantage in the situation. And while an ordinary person would pause to consider what instigated Alice into beating Bob into the concrete - (perhaps he started the fight? Presume that he did in this case, by groping Alice hard while reeking of whiskey) - and take a more neutral position concerned with the safety of both parties, things change if Bob is an SJW. Because Bob is an SJW, to his fellow SJWs looking on he is morally upright, good, meritorious, and having courage and skill by definition.
Remember, there are no "but"s in the definition of an SJW.
>Even though he is a drunkard, he is still morally upright.
>Even though he groped the woman, he is still good.
>Even though he started the fight, he is still meritorious.
>Even though Alice was his victim, she is still "privileged" over Bob, in the "head getting beaten in" department.
>And this can be brought to "justice" by "punishing" Alice until her outcome is equal to Bob's.
>And Alice deserves it for laying her hands on a "morally upright, good, and meritorious" person like Bob. Only a bad person would hurt someone like Bob.
Even is Russia - some guys, protect Anti-Gamer Gate
Sorry about my english
So, i want to know, what the actual shit is this?
If you don't know - even in russia, gamer gate and anti-gamer gate lives.
In Vk.com (Russian very quality opposite of Facebook) some "lefty" guy wrote this:
>>Do not believe me, I myself was a gamergate for a long time. When I decided to talk directly with the leftists / feminists, all my views on this disintegrated instantly. It became interesting to learn about the situation with feminism and the left in the open spaces of the UIN (Union of independent nations - which calls some counties of post-USSR), here I am collecting a little in a bunch of public groups.
But, in fact, the proof: https://storify.com/davidsgallant/the-origins-of-game ..

Also, this: http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Timeline_of_Gamergate
So, is it true? I'm really shocked, and don't know - how to react of this.
GG Meetup in Saint Louis | August 28th
Hey everyone, I'll be hosting a GamerGate meetup in Saint Louis on Monday, August 28th to celebrate the third anniversary of GamerGate. The meetup will begin at Fuddruckers in Sunset Hills, MO around 1PM, where we can have lunch and a couple drinks. After lunch we'll be heading right down the street (walking distance) to 66 Cigar, where I've made reservations and will be bringing my GameCube and Super Smash Bros. I'll also be bringing some complimentary beer to the 66 Cigar for us to enjoy, but if you want to bring your own drinks and snacks, the owner is also fine with that. Obviously you don't have to drink or smoke if you don't want to.
Finally we will head out from 66 Cigar around 7PM and head to the South County Mall about ~10-15 minutes driving distance. If you have too much to drink, then you can also take local bus or carpool with someone else. Please don't drink and drive. At the mall we can grab dinner at one of the many restaurants at the mall. As far as I can tell, Buffalo Wild Wings is open the latest at the mall, so regardless of where we decide to eat, we could head there for drinks and hangout until midnight.
I have created an RSVP form which is linked below. I have also explained my plans for the meetup in greater detail here. If you don't plan on attending this particular meetup, but would be interested in attending future GamerGate meetups in the Saint Louis area, feel free to fill out the question on where you would like to organize future meetups. People who are neutral or opposed to GamerGate are also welcome to attend, provided they are respectful and do not attempt to disrupt the event.
Japanese gamers are angry at us because of SJWs causing Star Ocean V to be censored
Where were you when glorious Nippon otaku raised their fists in anger at having to deal with SJWs from the west ruining their games?
>source for those that read moon runes
http://blog.esuteru.com/archives/8542569.html
Here is the full story about Star Ocean V being censored because of fear of SJWs here in the west. Yes both the Japanese and Western versions are now being censored because of SJWs this is the first time this is happening and its a historical moment.
Now they hate the west for ruining their games and they hate us too. Surely some of us can calm them down and teach them of the SJW and how they are ruining are games.
Together we can fight and win bringing even more glory to Nippon once again!
Gamergate Discord
There's been a couple GG Discord servers in the past, but recently there has been some drama at one ran by netscape9 from KiA (pics related, the last of which was right before a ban they'd later justify with false claims of attempted doxxing). There have been 16 bans recently within the last week or so for racist jokes and helicopter memes. One of the mods (who was actually the head moderator but has lost that position now, in title only) has been going ape over them, as she is a leftist, and feels personally attacked when someone makes helicopter jokes. Not only that, but both she and Netscape himself have stated that they do not believe that the movement is about free speech. Some of the people banned from there decided to make a new one. (Full disclosure: I am a moderator there.) The new server has channels dedicated to several GG ops and subtags, as the old one only had one dedicated to torrentialdownpour. The few rules are pretty clear and leave no room for revengebanning or nofunallowed.jpg If you're looking for somewhere to discuss GG, vidya and misc. bullshit, I suggest you check it out.

Massive GG Meetup in Saint Louis
Hey everyone, just a heads up that we'll be organizing a big GamerGate meetup in Saint Louis for the three year anniversary on Monday, August 28th! So far I've talked to quite a few people from previous meetups and a few GG-neutrals who are looking to know more about who we are and what we stand for, so I'm expecting a pretty big turnout.
The meetup will begin at 1PM at Fuddruckers in Sunset Hills, where we can have lunch together, have a couple beers and maybe play a couple games in their arcade. Then at 3PM I have reserations for 20 people at 66 Cigar, a cigar lounge within walking distance of Fuddruckers. As part of the reservation, I've got us exclusive access to their television, so we can play vidya together (maybe Smash Bros), so feel free to bring your own game consoles and/or games. Also, the reservation is officially for 20 people, but if more people show up that's fine. Another note about our meetup at 66 is that you can drink, but you'll need to bring your own alcohol - but snacks (namely pretzels) will be provided for us.
The meetup doesn't end there though! When 66 Cigar closes down at 7PM, we'll make our way to the South County Mall about 10-15 minutes down the road. From there we can decide to have dinner at the food court or one of the local restaurants. We could also check out some of the stores at the mall and/or head to Buffalo Wild Wings at the mall and relax for the rest of the night with wings, alcohol and good conversation.
There are three hotels in the immediate area of Fuddruckers and 66 Cigar, a Hampton Inn, a Days Inn and a EconoLodge. There are also dozens, if not hundreds of other hotels in the Saint Louis area to choose from, but those are the three closest to our meetup. The meetup location is also about 30-40 minutes from Lambert International Airport. The Saint Louis bus system runs through the area and all three locations are next to a bus stop, so public transportation shouldn't be much of an issue.

OP First Dawn
The Last Night has been hit hard by SJW clique shilling, as well as aGG and other cancer that is killing the industry. For whatever reason, the publisher has thrown the dev under the bus and the dev has been forced to apologize.
WE DO NOT STAND FOR THIS
We said three years ago that this is the kind of bullshit we don't want around anymore. Creators should not be forced to censor their games, or have their hard work destroyed before it has a chance to succeed because of ideological gatekeepers. Regardless of the dev's and publisher's reactions, we all can agree, that THIS is what we stand against. This pressure, this bullying, this kind of inquisition. They wanted to kill The Last Night,
NOW THEY FACE THE FIRST DAWN
For any operation to be successful, we need goals, objectives. We seem to agree on the following overall,
>We must push back against the central clique members who start these inquisitions
>We must push back against the media who enable them to continue said inquisitions
>We must support devs who are willing to fight through the witch hunts, and aid the ones who cannot
>In the end, we want vidya to be a place where creators are free to make the games they want to
But how do we accomplish this? Simply put, we divide things into the short-term and the long-term.
SHORT-TERM
First, we gather all of the evidence we can about The Last Night's media blitz. We need to make it clear, the only reason this game is under any pressure is because the creators didn't toe the line of an ideological clique that they never asked to be involved with. This means gathering info on every outlet and author, every blue check that retweeted the articles/smearjob, and uncover other things, like the person behind the @Justgamesonly22 account, or anyone who said dumb shit like the Ubisoft dev.
Secondly, we take all of this evidence, compress it all into easy-to-spread formats, and shove it in the faces of those who sought to kill The Last Night. Twitter, comment sections, wherever you can.
Third, we see what can be done for the morale of The Last Night team, maybe we can convince them to stay the course. Also, we need to find out if they did make any changes to their game after the pushback. One anon noticed the change to the game's Steam description. We need to somehow confirm that actual tangible changes are going to happen to this game.
LONG-TERM
We need to do everything in our power to make sure a situation like this does not happen again. This means vocally supporting good devs, outlets AND helping other people stay informed.
First and foremost, a full scale redux of OP Rebuild is in order. A vague, out-of-date list of ethical outlets isn't good enough. Same goes for talking about devs. We need to have a seriously dedicated list of outlets for anons to follow, and for those who participate in social media to follow and spread these outlets, so long as they remain ethical and informative. This doesn't just mean push the easy ones, like TechRaptor and Niche, it means seriously helping out the smaller/struggling ones by spreading their good articles, turning off Adblock and letting them know you're here supporting them. This goes for devs as well. When P5 suffered pushback from the localization crowd of bullshit, we messaged Atlus, showed them we cared enough to buy the game, and told them we appreciated the effort that went into bringing the game over to NA. We should do the same for devs who are smaller, under fire, or just plain good devs who care for their consumers: Us gamers.
Secondly, we need to work on informing gamers who don't spend their time on here. Let them know about companies, and dev teams, and systems that support consumer-friendly practices. Let them know what they need to do to protect their own interests AND recognize when pushbacks like the one for The Last Night are happening, so that they can be there to oppose anti-gamer/anti-consumer bullshit, wherever it comes from. This means infographics, small tidbits of easily spreadable info, and a willingness to help out the gaming community as a whole. Aspiring graphic designers in the thread will want to get on this, as well as our /tech/heads and savvy consumers who are willing to explain this at a very clear and basic level.
Third, we need to keep being gamers. Keep playing vidya, keep supporting good vidya and talking about it. Make art of your favourite characters, if you're talented enough. Support an artist if you aren't artistically inclined. At the end of the day, we're gamers, and we care about this industry in all aspects. We need to show it.
The Last Night has been sunk by aGG and the clique. They blamed a dev for invoking our name and being critical of their once-idol, as well as their political ideology.
We're getting back in the game. They called our name, we must answer
GamerGate revival
After this E3 i think its safe to say spark and interest in Gamergate has comeback
With what happened with Last Night and with EA and Ubisofts press conference I think its safe to say that people are pissed once again

This brave soul stands up for sex workers and even though the popular media acknowledges it, wikis censor this valuable information and will not acknowledge her activism or the people she helps.
How can this be remedied? Her contributions are being censored under the guise of protecting her, as if explaining her accomplishments which she proudly speaks of to the mass media, would harm her somehow.
#CNNBlackmail
CNN discovered the real identity of a racist The_Donald poster and is seemingly threatening to expose their identity if they 'return to their old ways.'
>CNN is not publishing "HanA**holeSolo's" name because he is a private citizen who has issued an extensive statement of apology, showed his remorse by saying he has taken down all his offending posts, and because he said he is not going to repeat this ugly behavior on social media again. In addition, he said his statement could serve as an example to others not to do the same.
>CNN reserves the right to publish his identity should any of that change.

What's that, FTC? You don't like anticompetitive practices?
https://www.ftc.gov/enforcement/anticompetitive-practices
> It is unlawful for a company to monopolize or attempt to monopolize trade, meaning 'a firm with market power cannot act to maintain or acquire a dominant position by excluding competitors or preventing new entry. It is important to note that it is not illegal for a company to have a monopoly, to charge “high prices,” or to try to achieve a monopoly position by aggressive methods. A company violates the law only if it tries to maintain or acquire a monopoly through unreasonable methods.
So when you block people on Twitter from posting links to a competing product, you are breaking the law!

OP DisNod 2: Reboot
There have been a lot of targets over the last few months, but no concentrated effort.
This is for gathering DisNod targets, finding emails, and discussing who to focus on during what time (though each individual may act as they wish).
To Do List
Contact the FTC about Patreon failing to abide by its own terms and conditions. CON members, despite being shown to harass and dox others are still able to hold patreon accounts.
Contact Square Enix to inform them of Nyberg's piracy.
(Article linked to pirated game, please help find it)
Contact Boston PD to inform them of Brianna Wu's fraud (that of obtaining funds throughdeception). There is no proof of life for the existence of Brianna's twitter safe space provider.
(Can't find info in the catalog. And Literally Who?)
Contact IRS Over Fem-Freq being involved with politics- against charity status.
Contact independent news/journalists over S.Korea.
And contact Blizzard over the politicized ending skit to Blizzcon 2016.
(See next post)
For all of the above, check HQ for relevant info and who to email.

The ESA Redpill Delivery thread
With less than 5 days to go until E3, I've made a thread to plan about distributing the redpill.
The current order of release…
>- the ESA and ESRB slides first
>- the slides get posted in other sites
>- get an archive link made from one of the sites
>- that archive link gets fitted into the promo\posters
>- release the posters for distribution as well
The current plan is to look for places to upload the slides & archive them (Imgur has been brought up, alternatives are also recommended in case the album gets reported or deleted)
anita sarkeesian profiles
One time @GamingandPandas found Full McIntosh's Steam account, so me and my friend started looking into his friends list, and we found 3 private accounts. We have a feeling that one of these accounts is Anita's. His steam ID is radicalbytes.
Also, his SteamDB shows that he has over 80% of all his games not played, and that he has over 800 hours on Steam. His account is also 5 years old, AFAIK.

Ian P. Buckingham of the Huffington Post has given GamerGate the opportunity to write a rebuttal! (D
Huffington Post journalist Ian P. Buckingham wrote an article on GamerGate on April 5, 2017…
…which was the subject of an analysis by William Usher on One Angry Gamer:
Well, in a surprising twist, after getting into a debate with, among others, BethMetalDeath, Ubiquitousidiot and me on Twitter - one which MrShikaki later joined - Buckingham issued us and any other participants in the discussion the following challenge:
>Then let me propose something. Can you collaborate with Beth and other contributors to this thread & sum up in 500 words an answer to this question: Why are gamers so aggrieved with the media over the representation of the gaming community?
The conditions were later fleshed out as follows:
>If you could pull something together while the momentum is still rolling, so in the next two weeks, that would be great.
>Re my expectations: I'm more interested in a piece exploring GG and the perceived issues with the media. You can, a f course, reference parts of my original piece that you believe reinforce this view but may be more powerful if you broaden the remit to perceived historic antagonism etc which the comments of the folk on the thread seem to imply.
>Readers of the paper aren't going to want to chase urls so perhaps keep it to 1. Can turn this into a link in the text so other than the trigger word, the www address won't be counted in the 500. Hope that makes sense.
So, in short, a media outlet's given GamerGate an actual chance to respond, with a deadline for submission before the end of next week (Sunday, May 28, 2017), though we're aiming for a few days earlier (Thursday, May 25th or Friday, May 26th) just in case.
Since this is a rare opportunity for us to speak without our words being filtered through the narrative lens, we've spent the last week brainstorming, ironing out the specifics, and trying to write rebuttals which fit within the established parameters that we'll be posting here later for feedback. We've also requested that the mods sticky this thread and have invited /u/WilliamUsherGB and /u/brad_glasgow to participate.
Right now, only my essay's complete (see attached image file), so we're requesting feedback, ideas, and possibly even submissions by anyone interested in taking a crack at it (though, since Buckingham has been communicating with us directly, we're reserving the right to make the final decision on what to submit).
More information will be added as it becomes available.
Gamergate 101
I was looking through my digging folder and noticed something was missing. The fucking GAMERS ARE DEAD articles. I don't have them. I did a search and found this: http://pastebin.com/dWzF8Eqd
Is that a complete list? Were there more?
Considering that I can't be the only person with missing evidence of what gamergate was and who was involved, let's get it sorted out before our anniversary. Here's what I want to see in this thread:
1. Charts, Spreadsheets, Pastes, Raw Data
2. Requests for: Charts, Spreadsheets, Pastes, Raw Data
OP FAR-FLAG
Mombot has found a targeted media blitz centred around a suspicious petition regarding the upcoming game Far Cry 5. The articles found thus far all appear to have dropped within a five hour window of each other, as listed here: https://ghostbin.com/paste/rvdm3
Upon some prodding around, Mombot has got into contact with a couple of journos, and an editor behind a few of the articles. He has admitted he found the petition himself, which was posted in a then-Public, now suspiciously Private Facebook group, which the average person, read: us, cannot access. Even more suspicious, it appears to be modded/admin'd by several high ranking people with the journo and games industry itself
WE MAY HAVE A SMALLER GJP ON OUR HANDS
Step 1: Timeline
We know it was first posted on 25th May.
It was posted at least once on Reddit on 27th May.
But it only picked up steam today (30th May).
Smaller blogs ran it:
https://ghostbin.com/paste/rvdm3
Cogs Connected ran it first.
When did the articles drop? What minute/hour? Could someone have seen someone else's article and wrote their own in time? If the time is too short, it points towards GJP-esque groups.
Step 2: How is IGN Connected?
Brian Altano is the Admin of Podcast Beyond, a Facebook Group that is now private:
http://archive.is/f6Jrn#selection-1349.0-1349.43
The author of one of the articles (please confirm who Shaun is and what his website is) says he got the news from there. But won't say who (a logical thing if he things GG would harass the person, if it wasn't for the fact he was a cunt with how he responded- clearly aGG).
How is IGN linked to all this?
If they are, are they/one of them the orchestators, or an attempt at a story for themselves/political motivation that span out of control?
Step 3: How soon did Ubi employees respond?
Did they respond fast enough to indicate they knew about this before they would logically have heard of it?
Those who heard of it after the petition gained steam (100+ sigs or so) probably did hear of from Twitter. But dig around.
Any link to Ubi or advertising/shilling agencies who could have started this?
Step 4: Check comments for signs of bots
https://www.change.org/p/ubisoft-cancel-far-cry-5/c?source_location=petition_show
Check for signs of Bots signing it, SJWs, or even allies of the original petition maker. People signing it now are doing it for laughs or blatantly false-flagging (to the point it's no longer an effective false flag). Even the SJWs are signing to leave hateful comments. But look at the initial ones to look for signs of bots, or even familiar names (i.e. the person created their own petition then contacted friends/colleagues to do the first few sigs).
Bare in mind- you don't need to leave a message, so there's no guarantee anyone linked to this will leave a comment (other than egotism or desiring to false-flag with negative racist-gamer style comments)

Gamergate is a conservative echo chamber?
http://slatestarcodex.com/2017/05/01/neutral-vs-conservative-the-eternal-struggle/
>I’m desperately trying to avoid the Nerd Culture Wars, which have somehow managed to be even worse than the Regular Culture Wars, but even I’ve heard about GamerGate and the Sad Puppies. These were originally movements to fight a perceived liberal bias in regular gaming/sci-fi. They of course failed, and now they’re their own little separate conservative spaces practicing conservative video game commentary/sci-fi writing.
Youtube and Google under assault from the MSM
With the abject fucking failure by the MSM to make any real, meaningful impact on big youtubers like PewDiePie, it looks like they are extending their smear campaign to YouTube via slamming Google, to an evidently much greater effect.
While I have my reservations about defending Google, this is a case where they have not done anything wrong. They simply have the scale to put MSM out of business within the next few generations.
While I don't think they will succeed in killing YouTube, they may use this event to leverage quite a bit of control over who is and isnt allowed to have video monetization, or even further control on what videos are allowed to show up on youtube.
I think this is worth a counter-operation. Question is, what can we do?.
Nerd Poker
Clique involving people in the film, television, video game, comic book industries as well as several geek/nerd personalities. Has been around since the mid-2000s.

An apt description comes from a 2009 press release for "House of Game" - http://files.shareholder.com/downloads/ABEA-4UREYL/0x0x402891/0C74635B-1068-4A85-8422-FB5EB2EF7242/DTSI_News_2009_5_22_General_Releases.pdf
"Nerd Poker is a collective of creative individuals from the film, entertainment and game industries who all share a love for video games. Formed in 2006, Nerd Poker began as a group of friends who regularly played games on-line and shared an affinity for identifying progressive entertainment properties. The network has since cultivated a new and unique platform for creative projects, collaboration and business to take place between Hollywood and game creators.
House of Game presented by Nerd Poker will be the first official showcase of its kind that will bring the leading professionals from both Hollywood and video game industries together.
The founding members of Nerd Poker are Kevin Chang, Justin Marks, Ben Fritz and Derek Douglas, with partners Tom Ham, Zach Schiff-Abrams and Ford Gilmore."

OP Nuke-a Laylee
ITT we discuss the means through which Kickstarter backers of Yooka Laylee can get a refund from Playtonic or Kickstarter.
In light of Playtonic's less than stellar way of dealing with any issues that Jon Tron may or may not have raised outside of Playtonic's control, many kickstarter backers have been enquiring how to get their money back. Forums are being shut down and discussion is being quashed due to the consumer/backer backlash and funder's questions have either been ignored or simply ridiculed.
This thread will be used a source from which information can be spread to the backers before it is too late. This thread will also be used to plan courses of action for such backers to take.
Dragons, Hugos and Sad Puppies
Nominations have opened for the second Dragon Awards for Science Fiction + Fantasy:
http://application.dragoncon.org/dc_fan_awards_nominations.php
Includes categories for books, comics, TV, vidya, etc - it's free to nominate, deadline is 24th July 2017.
Dragoncon itself is 1st - 4th Sept in Atlanta - http://www.dragoncon.org/
The Hugos have opened their nominations too:
http://www.worldcon.fi/wsfs/hugo/
>Those who joined one of the qualifying conventions before the start of January will have already received their unique personalised link to make nominations. (31 January was the cutoff date to join the qualifying conventions in order to nominate; Worldcon 75 members who join after that date will be able to vote on the Final Ballot when it is announced, but will not have nomination rights.)
If you're eligible to vote you should have received your 'unique personalised link' so that link above is pretty much useless. However, this year they've changed the voting rules because reasons:
http://www.worldcon.fi/wsfs/hugo-new/
So how that will effect the final ballot we'll have to wait and see.
This year, Worldcon is in Helsinki, Finland, on 9th - 13th August:
Meanwhile, Sad Puppies 5 is led this year by author Sarah Hoyt (last year was Kate Paulk backed up by Hoyt and fellow author Amanda Green) - who's going with the idea that it's better to ditch the Hugos and focus on supporting the Dragons. After the Hugos clique showed what they're about the last 2 years, it's probably best to leave them to self-destruct. That, and Hoyt has said better not to waste any more money on them - voting in the Hugos is not free.
As usual, expect butthurt and pre-planned narrative Misogyny! from socjus they really are triggered by anything Puppy related - especially as the awards dates draw nearer.

GamerGate Wiki down?
I looked for a thread on this and I couldn't see anything, so I decided to make one.
In short, wtf is going on?
I was asked for information on GamerGate and was going to point someone to the wiki, but when I go to
it appears to be compromised.
The normal site gamergate.me appears to be reposting spammy-looking ads from these accounts:
https://twitter.com/gamergateme_
https://plus.google.com/104023994173497897731
https://www.facebook.com/GamerGateme-1893968407489756/
If you go back far enough, then maybe you can find some actual posts by Allum Bokhari, etc.
Anyways, where the hell is the wiki? Is anyone on this?
Some of the posts seem to be from the last 24 hours, so is this a recent development?
GamerGate Panel at Archon 41
Hey everyone, I'm happy to announce that one of the oldest geek culture conventions in the United States, Archon, will be hosting a GamerGate panel. The convention will run from Friday, September 29th through Sunday, October 1st, though I don't yet know the exact date or time of the panel. The convention will be held at the Gateway Center in Collinsville (Illinois), less than twenty minutes from Saint Louis and just over four hours away from Chicago. Tickets are currently only $55 for a weekend pass, but you can also get one-day passes for much cheaper.
The panel will open with a discussion on what GamerGate means to us (the panelists and the audience) and how we got involved. From there we will give a presentation on the history of GamerGate and the core arguments and principles that both sides of the debate embody. Much like my Arch Anime panel, we'll encourage audience participation and a healthy back and forth about the various ideas and events related to GamerGate, the games industry and social justice in gaming.
This will be my third time hosting a GamerGate panel, having previously ran panels at Arch Anime 2016 and Natsucon 2016. A friend of mine who is neutral on GamerGate and who has argued that both "SJWs" and "anti-SJWs" have become equally authoritarian, has expressed interest in representing a more neutral perspective. I've also reached out to my friend and fellow #GGinSTL organizer, gladiatorskull, to possibly be a panelist, though if he gets involved, will likely just help with the logistics and setup.
The convention would also like me to find an anti-GamerGate panelist if possible, though I believe that may prove difficult. With that being said, I have reached out to an anti-GamerGate person on Reddit, who had previously attended my Natsucon panel, to see if they are interested. If any GamerGhazi or anti-GamerGate people are reading this and are interested in possibly representing a more "anti-GamerGate" or "pro-social justice" perspective, feel free to reach out to me.
If anyone is interested in attending, feel free to request off work, book a hotel room and/or book a flight now. Hotel rooms in the immediate area are likely be booked by now, since Archon books extremely fast and is a massive convention. You may be able to book a hotel room within 20-45 minutes of the convention center though. Assuming there aren't any super interesting panels or events immediately following the panel, we'll probably head to the bar to relax and continue the discussion with anyone interested (on either side). Hope to see you shitlords there!

Gawker confirms #GG cost them a million+ dollars
Interesting happening.
The Verge did a piece citing an anonymous Gawker source claiming we did 7 million dollars in damage to them with Operation: Disrespectful Nod.
A couple of ex-Gawker bigwigs chime in on Twitter and say "No, it was only one million." Possibly referring only to 2014 by the way one Tweet is worded.
Humorously they also twitched at the thought of encouraging us by giving out the actual dollars in damage done, all the more reason to lowball it hard.

#OPRepopulate
It has become regularly obvious that many people feel tired and uninterested in gamergate lately, mainly because of the slowness, if not stillness of the activism it might imply.
Sending emails doesn't seem to cut it for them anymore; aside from not being enough, it looks as if it doesn't get anyone as fired up or involved as before.
I BELIEVE IT COMES FROM A LACK OF ACTIVE POPULATION
Twitter drama is retarded, and sadly it is the only source of activity in the quietest days of the tag. Faggots like ralph keep using it even to shit on it or in hopes that they will finally receive attention, when they deserve both contempt and spit.
An efficient solution would be to reassemble and discuss your hopes, disappointment or joys. It is about what has been accomplished and what needs to be done to ensure gamergate does end.
For what our opposition doesn't seem to gather, is that all of us would love for this ordeal to finally end; but it cannot until the complete system we are going through doesn't get fixed and cured from ideologues, pseudo-intellectuals and narcissistic sociopaths.
>BRING FRIENDS BACK
You have met with many along the way I am sure; if they appear to have left or grown disinterested, talk to them about their presence still being appreciated.
Remain polite and friendly; keep examples of the still current air of bullshit gawker media and their buddies are forcing upon everyone; showcase victories, and establish new hope; give them a chance to merely stop if they so wish, but remain open to show them their "bad times" were anecdotes more than any actual genuine mindset.
>USE THE TAG
#GamerGate, like #TorrentialDownpour, got abused by bots and selfish cunts who wanted the attention brought back to themselves; take the tag back.
As soon as you talk about games journalism, whether positively or negatively, use the hashtag; do not overtly spam it, for example when having a twitter conversation that requires several tweets, don't go crazy and use it in every single one; still never lose an occasion to do it whenever possible; browse the tag itself, tweetdeck or private lists allow for very easy looks at it; create if necessary a secondary account that you can shill here or on other GG forums to RT and like anything you believe is worth spreading.
>VISIT YOUR NEIGHBOURS
As lame as it can be, reddit remains seemingly the heart of the action. Much more prone to drama than 8chan, it can be brought back to action and thoughtfulness if helped correctly. The same can be said of Voat (although the main GG hub is trampled by goons) or even twitter.
Make friends and remain friendly; do not associate with obvious shills and invite others to do the same; make a unique account on each forum instead of several, for replying to yourself would discredit every single one of your posts; don't hesitate to "gift" things like upvotes or likes or whatever else, as dumb as that might sound, to posts you find sensible; be motivational, helpful, eloquent and well-informed; do not forget to visit other places that aren't dedicated to GG, and calmly and without sperging out about it, mention its values or goals, and invite newcomers to seek information right.
>PUSH
We need your help, and that means we need everyone's.
Remind people that they are both welcome and important; tell anyone losing courage that it is fine to take a rest, but that you're hoping they'll come back with a new bite; always see the positive outcome of all situations; have fun and be fun to have around yourself; if needed, keep old victories or MAYMAYS handy to share; be willing to apologize or be self-critical; remember wise words like "trust but verify" and other clever idioms; don't hesitate to teach their values.

Time traveller from the past
I stopped modding /v/ and disconnected myself from the whole chan culture gamergate shit around late spring of 2015.
what the fuck happened. is this the gg board? the last thing i remember is deleting a lot of intl spam and people hating drybones for some reason.
did anything notable happen at all since then or was it just non stop meta "discussion" and namefag drama?
also what happened to swami
hi acid man i think we talked a few times.
You have been visited by the Board Necromancer
Hand over the board and I will revive it. It will become undead, and we will bring back the shitposting.
I warned you at 300 UIDs that the board was dying, then again at 100 UIDs, and now at 17 UIDs in the past 72 hours. I don't even think that number is right because there's been like 6 posts in the last week.
Hand over the board, Acid Man. I won't destroy it, I will bring it back, better.

Hyperextended Dimensions of The Societal Divide
I've been nibbling on this for a few days and felt the need to put it down in text before I start forgetting parts of it. While I try not to blog here, it also seemed shitty that any other place should be my go-to for sharing it first. I also have the flu right now, so please forgive the inevitable typos.
One of the tenets of American political thought is that we tend to divide ourselves, or perhaps more accurately perceive an existing division, along a political spectrum line. On the Left you have liberalism, socialism, communism, atheism, globalism, antifascism, etcetera. On the Right you have fascism, nationalism, religious dogmatism, authoritarianism, anticommunism, etcetera. Each person, it is believed, falls somewhere on this line as a result of their personal political beliefs, and that the distance between people on different sides of the center give rise to the sociopolitical divides in society.
In recent years, a more nuanced view of this divides the line into a 2-dimensional spectrum. Left and Right are represented on the horizontal center, with a new axis, Libertarian <> Autoritarian complimenting it as the vertical center axis. Thus a person have some degree of "ethical mobility" with their political beliefs, able to choose an individualist interpretation maximizing freedom (Libertarian Left or Libertarian Right) or a forcefully-imposed, collective interpretation sacrificing freedom (Authoritarian Left or Authoritarian Right).
The most recent alteration of this classical political-divide theory also includes some contemplation of a spectrum that more resembles a "U" shape, appropriately named the "horseshoe theory", that attempts to demonstrate that the farthest ends of the traditional 1-D political spectrum tend to be so united by their use and acceptance of Authoritarianism that they have more in common in methods than they differ in goals. To wit, being oppressed for the good of the nationalist Fatherland is just as bad as being oppressed for the communist Motherland, and the methods of oppression do not differ by much.
This is a basic representation of the classical American view of the political divide.

The Death Of The Quake Community?
I was searching for some old-ass files when I stumbled across this editorial published on PlanetQuake in December 1998:
http://web.archive.org/web/19981205234750/http://planetquake.com/editorials/llama.shtm
The Death Of The Quake Community?
Decline of Respect and Good Spirits in the online community
>The days when you were what's regarded as a newbie - fragile, confused, and wondering why the hell you moved and fired half a second after you pressed those buttons. With good chance, someone that knew how to play helped you out. Gave a helping hand, told you how to play, and wasted the living pulp out of you afterwards.
>I am sure all of you have seen what are referred to as "llamas" - losers of all losers, or, lamers. Frequently they act like a righteous bastard - fill the chat screen with nasty stuff; shoot at team mates on teamplay mods (though it's debatable whether the guy just thought it was DM);
>They've always mucked up the game for everyone involved, but most of all they muck it up for the new players, who would most likely find their behavior intolerable. The community just tries to ignore them, hoping that they go away. Unfortunately, they won't go away. Worse, their number is growing, not just within the Quake community, but throughout online gaming.
>After a while, I got tired of the people that seemed to enjoy making an ass of themselves. I knew there weren't much that I could really do, but hell, it couldn't hurt. I went ahead and stuck ten or so suggestions that people might want to follow while playing online games, gave it a format which I thought (at the time) was decently elegant, and released it - Quetiquette.
>The rules did span out from the obvious (which I wrote down) to more down towards respect - not shooting the guy who's obviously showing that they're gone by facing a wall, etc.
>There were, of course, those that complained, saying I was posting "rules" and that he didn't have to follow them if he didn't want to. Apparently, those that do use bad action don't see it in themselves, or don't find the actions wrong.
>What are we to do, short of sending everyone you despise a packet of bombs? There really isn't much to do, which is the bad thing. Educating works at times, but not always.
>For now, education seems to be the best bet - if the new ones can be spared of the dark side, more the better.

Pizzagate Thread
Last pic shows board owner gives permission.
Remember, Gamergate is about fixing the industry. To help do that, changing the culture that produced SJW is necessary. Some of the people who push SJW education and manipulators may also be tied to this (either part of it, or using it to get blackmail to push their own agendas).
However, we can all fight for GG in our own way.
Finally, places talking about Pizzagate have been shut down:
I even saw a screencap of a news article saying the FBI has asked Reddit, Twitter, and Facebook to help stop the "Witch Hunt".
Basically, we could get massive DDOS against the site.
Play this one careful lads. Dig quiet, archive everything.

OP: Secret Recipe - Exposing Liberal Media's Formula.
First, read pic 1 related.
Yes this is probably born from research into comedy, but it doesn't stop how it's being used.
I thought the "hypnotic" television ideal was fucking stupid- but it's right. At least for idiots.
It's how AAA games are built now, constantly drip feed small victories, rather than building up for a bigger one in exchange for effort.
And just like AAA- they don't need the informed consumer to fall for it- they just need the other idiots pumped out of the borderline maddening education system, which assults them with so much useless info and bad lessons, anything that gives them that drip-feed of positive feedback is going to be more engrossing than true study.
However, this revelation comes with a catch- pulling back the curtain and explaining it.
We've all had a moment where we don't realize how shit something is until someone explains it. The "emperor's new clothes" realization.
We can break the "idiot's lantern".
We can break MSM conditioning via comedy.
Not only making the opinions spouted on those shows coming under more fire, but forcing the MSM to change tactics- possibly even double down and have the bottom % of useless idiots that are useless to even them.
And if nothing else- once you know how it's going to go- it gets boring. We can tank their ratings. And others won't copy suit for fear of losing their ratings.
Dig
- See what other shows follow the "20 second snark" formula.
- Study liberal news shows & programming, and work out their formulas. Share your research here of course.
- Once the Spread steps are done and it is taking effect, study how programs double down, change, or give the illusion of change. Don't forget to do the same for new shows that spring up.
Spread
- Make an infograph and spread it on social media- usually on the night an episode of it airs to ensure others see it (So if it's for the Daily Show, post it with #DailyShow). It doesn't have to say "only idiots fall for this"- different people will react to different explanations. Simply presenting the formula can make it boring to some people. Others will need to show the effect it has on "malleable" minds and how bad it is. In typically chaotic GG fashion - do what you think is best and it'll usually work out.
- Even in your day-to-day life, if people ask you about the show, explain you find it too formulaic. Even if they won't admit it, they'll try to spot the formula when they watch it next.
Support
- Support people who have intelligent discussion on politics. Yes, even if there's dumb discussion and it supports anti-SJW, it's no good. Build the house on the rocks- not the sand. If you find a decent political show (that allows the reader time to think and encourages discussion), then shill for it. Clearing the wasteland goes faster when there's new seeds to plant.
ggrevolt is in the dark web now
just a friendly reminder that we moved to the dark web so we can better conduct our shill ops, since now we don't have to worry about retribution and Acidcuck constantly trying to discover our shit. Also, fuck the /cow/tist.

A letter from South Korea; THIS IS YOUR FUTURE
Hello, the original gookfag here. It's been a while since I wrote this posts in the image. Here's some archives. I wrote some helpful posts in these thread so read them if you interest in Korean affair.
I make this thread to warn you. To warn you that this might really happen in your countries. I feel the happening is nigh. Especially in US.
I'm a former political member and my family served the current ruling party since 70's. I know what i'm saying.
There's some well-known rumor in South Korea among the politic scens in Korea since 60's. The rumor is that the South Korea is political & social experimental field for western investors. A test field for various social experiments.
They say we got the fastest internet in the world because the rich westerners want to see side effects of sudden digital information days. They say we got a female president because they want to see side effects of fanatic social Neo-Feminism.
There is no dominant evidence to back this rumor. But I want to make sure one thing. Every major social events and economic affairs in Korea happens in other countries as well after times. I've seen it all.
And I think these Social Justice & Neo-Feminism is the next event they're experimenting in Korea. The experiment is over when we elected a female president and the introduction to the western country is nigh.
Here's the story.
South Korea's Social Justice and the big brother censorship pretty much escalated into sky high right after we elected the female president, Park in 2013. As you can see from the image, the censorship level of S.Korea is just insane.
A self acclaimed 'Feminist' female president is in charge in Korea currently and we live in SJW dystopia right now.
Countless batshit-insane laws about protect women and children has been implanted. Basically you go prison for at least 5 years and registered as child sex offender if you watch Japanese hentai.
The new Korean anti-porn and the child protection law prohibits any of fictional porns about children. They all threated same as actual child rapists or even worse. You go prison if you see Hentai of any kind of porns that the actor or character 'Seem' to appears as underage.
Because of this insane anti-porn law called '아청법', 15 years old mid-school girl registered as sex offender because she watched Yaoi novel on the internet. 70 years old grandma had to sell her own PC-cafe to pay penalty because a Japanese Hentai manga found one of her PC. She's now homeless and registered as sex offender.
More funny thing is, the porn threated as more heavier crime than the actual rape in Korea. 3 years minimum for rapists and 5 years minimum for porn possesion. 45 of rapists ended up being just suspended sentence but less than a 10% for porn possesion.

This law has been introduced right after election of female president and being praised as the most notable triumph of Park's administration.
I talk you about this law not just because it's crazy insane law, but there are more hidden agenda in this law. This law isn't just about Social Justice movement. Perid.
Last month, anomymous whistle blower revealed that the offficial Hacking & Spyware tool by South Korean National Intelligence Service, has abaility to implant "Child Porn" into any citizen's device.

Operation: #TakeBackADL
The Anti-Defamation League is attacking a cartoon frog because Hillary Clinton attacked it, so they are supporting her and using their reputation to back her up no matter how ridiculous it makes them look and how much it damages the ADL's brand.
MEANWHILE
Look through the ADL's online catalog of hate symbols and you may notice some very prominent absences where you should find groups that want to kill all the Jews.
http://www.adl.org/combating-hate/hate-on-display/list-view.html https://archive.is/aFJcZ
Where are the symbols of the Palestinians? Al-Qaeda? Hezbollah? Hamas? Their symbols are not in the database, but Pepe the Frog is? This is bullshit. The ADL is not doing its own fucking job for the one issue that it is supposed to exist for.
They want to #TakeBackPepe? Let's #TakeBackADL. Fire up the golem. Bagel Lancers, assemble. We're going for a ride.
Unlike GG this is a targeted operation so we have a list of demands.
* Fire Jonathan Greenblatt
* Fire Jinnie Spiegler and anyone else responsible for the ADL's absolute crap "educational" materials
* List the Palestinians as a hate group BECAUSE THEY ARE ONE
* List the Muslim Brotherhood as a hate group BECAUSE THEY ARE ONE
* List Black Lives Matter as a hate group BECAUSE THEY ARE ONE
* List third-wave feminists as a hate group BECAUSE THEY ARE ONE
Methods:
* Send emails to local ADL representatives and local Jewish leaders.
* Recruit that Jewish friend of yours.
* Get involved on social media. If you're not involved in the campaign, at least talk about it.
* Gather and spread evidence and knowledge of anti-Jewish hate groups so you know what you are fighting for and can support your arguments.
To any of our supporters inside the ADL, DO NOT RESIGN. That never works. Instead: Spread info, leak info, take back your organization from the inside.

The media barrage on Trump has caused a lot of normalfags to wake up to the lying media.
The wound is there, so why leave it alone?
The corrupt media are the enemy of gamers, the enemy of /pol/ - the enemy of truth.
So let's get the #Lugenpresse hashtag trending.
Post anti-media memes and examples of their lies. Not just about trump, but any lie. The stories of con artists and jokers who ended up on shows as experts. The camera framing manipulations. All the lying, baiting articles and "news".
The goal is to spread the awareness of just how fucked up the press is by any available means.

Give this thing a watch; it's ridiculous. Apparently it was put together by the Turkish Minister of Sports. Now, this isn't enjoying much ~journalistic~ presence, but there's nothing to say that this won't be the next angle the lying media hits in order to smear gamers and the viddy industry, so, well… Consider yourselves warned in advance.
The video is full of grasping at straws, but that never stopped the MSM before.
This could be their next step (ironic, since the EU-shit-storm and Shillary's desire to import them is making resentment for them grow more and more. Especially now "deplorables" know they aren't the only one- or a minority).
Prepare yourselves, just in case. Dig into their "sources" and expose them as bullshit.

Native ads seem to have all but deserted old Kotaku. Whether this has anything to do with the bankruptcy I can't say, but is definitely possible. Modified banner ads labeled as "sponsored content" and a shitload of Amazon shilling links seem to be their main source of ad income now. Seriously Kotaku, fucking hipster shoes? That's what you're hawking on your vidya website?
The articles attacking Palmer Lucky and his gf are prominently crosslinked across a variety of Kotaku articles, most of which are by our old friends Plunkett and Hernandez. The more I noticed the correlation, the more I felt like this was all some petty vindictiveness on Kotaku's part.

/gamergatehq/ Meta Thread - Maybe the Most Important Ever
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 factor is, I believe, in no small part responsible for how slow we have been in recent months.
Those of you here from the beginning know how this came to be. It started even in the first days of the board, when Ayyteam raided us constantly with spam while shit-talking the board on any platform that would listen, and continues even into recently with the fight against the Cancerfags and their co-opted imageboard site. While we won the war to keep their faggotry from taking over our board in the short term, the long-term damage they've done by their smear campaign has damaged our viability. Feel free to disagree with this, but its how I personally feel.
The reason we fought that war, and why I never capitulated as BO to any of these well-known assholes, is simple: The underhanded cocksuckers deserve nothing but contempt. For the way they fooled the users of /gg/ and /gamergate/ into believing their boards were free, for the way they betrayed #GG and all of us by destroying those boards, for their underhanded and desperate tactics to hold onto power on the boards at any cost, and for finally showing their true colors as wannabe e-celebs, self-interested political shills, trolls, doxers, spammers, hackers, and more. God only knows where we would have ended up if they had managed to set us up for failure even one more time. To quote a man with a fine beard, my reply has always been "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!"
So let me get to the point.
For the first time, a known party (as much as one can know an anon, anyway) wants to make an alt board to GGHQ. The reasons why are much of what I described above. They think a fresh board, much more open to general political and games industry discussion as well as OPs and digs, would reinvigorate the community, and I don't see a lot of reason to disagree. Say what you will about KiA - they've kept active by making their tent bigger, though they still suffer under the general limitations of lolreddit.
What I know.
Their board is supposed to be a much more general #GG board, much in the flavor of the original /gg/, minus the cancerous cabal behind the scenes. The idea was explained to me as
>some rules to contain the worst autism, more than revolt has but waay less than you with only two or maybe three janitors."
Also bare minimal containment threads, forced anon enabled, no blocking of TOR and some other stuff I'm forgetting. Basically it sounds like a big /v/-/pol/ hybrid with a heavy slant towards #GG.
What I know about the BO.
They're definitely old #GG from before the Exodus. They knew quite a bit about Thidran's circle of faggots and the background shit with them and revolt, and I passed them evidence of the things they didn't know. And they don't do IRC or streams this was a condition of me taking this seriously btw and I trusted them enough to offer a mod slot on this board at one time. I think they understand what they're getting themselves into, which is very important.
As far as I'm concerned, I have no serious objections to their plan. The kicker is that, if their board takes off, I'm obligated by my promise to this place to direct folks there and avoid fracturing the community. This isn't another hostile takeover attempt for me to REEE at. After filling me in on some information a while back, I talked with them again and they're pretty set on doing this soon. If so, a choice is going to have to be made at that time.
FYI I don't plan to abandon GGHQ fully if this winds up happening. I'll hang onto it as a fallback board in the off chance that something ever happens to the new one. I'm not going to piss this place into the wind and leave everyone hanging if shit goes south someday.
What say you, anons?

…until some dumb faggot from cuckchan yelled a nasty meme at some poor sick old lady which triggered her and as a result:
THE ENTIRE LEFT HAS DECLARED WAR ON THE INTERNET, FUN, THOUGHT-CRIMES, AND GAMERGATE
Change. Of. Plans.
Gamergate is back to literally raping hundreds of womyn every day, while hit-pieces are being put out by the hour about the worse-than-ISIS-terrorists-of-GG, shills are out in force in the # and defeatism shilling here possibly paid by Shillery's PAC, GGR continue their own brand of Acid-sempai please notice me semen-swilling shilling here, and everything else higglty piggilty on social-media.
Fun times.
A dishonest and corrupt media lying about a bunch of people in order to maintain their narrative, but instead of just gamers, it's everyone they put in a box called the "Alt-Right", to slander and ignore as "conspiracy theorists", "harassers", and "literal nazis"; all because some crazy old lady got triggered by a cartoon frog.

"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…

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.

Online News Association digging thread
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?

> ONA showcased software put out by the Coral Project. https://archive.is/A1VLy That's in our digs as a joint project of Black Lives Matter and the Frankfurt School that sent another nutbar to the UN.
Let's see those digs, and let's see if there is anything else in ONA that we should be concerned about.
Why are SJW-Lites such top-tier waifus?
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.

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.

Searchable PDF for the FTC FOIA on Gawker
There were two OCR methods used within Acrobat: Searchable Image and ClearScan. The two use different technology behind them and this way you get to use either one just in case one grabs content the other misses.
All 1702 pages can now be searched through instead of just being still images. ClearScan has sharper text, though it does have two fewer results on "gamergate" due to the way it scanned it and replaced fonts. Use either one or both.

The SJW Approved Social Media Day of the Rope
In light of Youtube making thoughtcrime a crime by way of penalty of losing your ability to make money off your videos, I am drawn back to the following which was posted on Half-Chan about a month or two ago.
Someone claiming that the SJW tumors that have infiltrated and taken control over social media giants planning a SJW Day of the Rope on anyone who has so much as disagreed with the SJW mafia…
If this happened, what would the fall-out be? The shitstorm would be huge but also kind of telling if the "If Trump wins" scenario happens in terms of the SJW mafia overreaching in a shit fit over losing…..
Outcomes of Gamergate
I haven't been on here in months, since Gamergate was big.
Gamergate recently had it's seconnd anniversary, I want to know what you think it achieved. Bonus points if it's a specific, measurable thing.
Did it stop anyone from doing anything bad?
Did it make things better? For who? Be specific please

THE AMERICAN INTERNET ENDS IN 27 DAYS
What is Happening?
First Amendment rights will no longer apply to the Internet on October 1st, 2016. Obama is handing control of the DNS to the world on October 1st.
You just saw the effects of this from YouTube. Websites are forced to change their rules and ToS or face termination by foreign countries outside the countries in which their servers actually reside.
Why is this Happening?
>Wait, how does Obama hand over the keys of the internet?
The DNS Server that controls the entire internet (Everything with a .com at the end, or .org. Like youtube.com, gamefaqs.com) was controlled by the United States
On October 1st, they relinquish control of the DNS protocol to all the foreign bureacracies of the world.
The practical effect on this is that it means other countries besides the United States can take down websites without having to go to the U.S. beforehand, which has had a history of protecting its First Amendment rights.
If the U.N. wants to take down a website for hate speech, they can do so now without any intervention by the U.S. This also means all websites that exist within DNS (this means gamefaqs.com) must answer to the laws of ALL countries, not just one.
Doesn't matter where in the world your website/server is anymore, you must respect the laws of all countries or be taken down.
Since the U.N. bans hate speech, that's out the window and so YouTube is forced to do this
Republican Senator Ted Cruz, who lost the Republican Primary to Donald J Trump, has launched a countdown clock
https://www.cruz.senate.gov/internetcountdownclock/
Republicans are fighting to stop this deal, but they need to get past Obama's presidential veto before they can do it. Some democrats will need to be red-pilled on this issue or else it's getting veto'd
What can we do?

Brianna Wu Interviews with Shills
I used to work for this company, and they are nothing short of shills for hire.
They actually shit-talk companies who don't pay them to come to events, and don't disclose sponsorship on videos where they were paid tens of thousands to give their "expert, third party opinions."
''My career would've been ruined'', my ass. SJW always lie.
Staying anon to prevent SJW assclowns from ruining my life. Anyway:
I'm a gamedev fag. I'm not a low-tier goobergrapper faggot, but not a Sargon/MundaneMatt/etc either, and where I'm from I am considered a bit notorious for stirring up the media and going up against the ll vidya kartels SJW's like to make.
Normies and SJW's always said my career would be ruined because of it. Turns out, it had 0 impact. Why?
I had to go to job interviews the past couple of days. Because vidya is shit, I went for application development. Turns out, the majority of IT's look down on vidya development because, except for a few big guys, it's riddled with low-paying jobs, friend politics, corruption and extremism. They refer to GamerGate as when in 2014/15 the corruption was exposed. Two people recognized me on accident because I couldn't stay completely anon to get some shit done during the past two years, and didn't give a shit about it.
I'm now hired by one of those companies. It took me 3 days to get a job.

YOU'VE GOT THE LOGS, NOW UNLEASH THE DOGS: Operation Blitzkrieg Log
The leaked CON logs have given us an unbelievable amount of ways to attack multiple targets, including LW, her clique, and gaming journalists that helped cover their asses and reported their false stories.
Henceforth, this thread is for fleshing out the various different targets and ways we can use the logs to bite back.
Keep this gravy train going. Keep the threads about this alive on /v/, /pol/ and anyone else willing to pitch in
Let's start with this, the first idea of attack:
POSSIBLE COURSE OF ACTION
FUCK OVER THE JOURNO CLIQUE THAT HELPED MAKE LW LOOK INNOCENT
There were multiple reports, most importantly from Polygon and Kotaku, about the Polaris Game Jam being shafted. Polygon's article in particular used Zoe as a source for the story.
Since we've got admittance she screwed over the event, we could do two things. Email campaign to knock down advertisers, or press for an edit of the article that says Zoe was the one that messed everything up.
Kotaku's Nathan Grayson also covered the story, exactly one day before he gave $800 to her, without proper disclosure, of course.
Her newest thing is being sponsored by Taco Bell, right? This one is kind of just for kicks, but it would be fun to get Taco Bell to back off in sponsorship.
EMAIL WEAPONRY
Two strategies for doing that.
The direct method is to use any segment of the leaks that how much of a shitty person she is, specifically using her admittance of trashing the Polaris Game Jam. That's important, because it was sponsored by other companies. They put their money into the event and she fucked them out of it.
You can use that to show that she's pure poison for corporate.
The more round-about, yet probably more effective method is to do that, but to email the companies that sponsored the game jam first. Pepsi/Mountain Dew. I guess Disney if you want but they blow their money on gay shit all the time so I don't know if they'll care.
NO MATTER WHICH METHOD YOU CHOOSE
Be sure to include excerpts from these articles in your emails. Can't risk some lazy bloke checking the emails to not click on the links.
These are important, as they contextualize the logs and are more effective than sending them walls of IRC text
https://bonegolem.wordpress.com/2016/08/27/contextualizing-the-crash-override-network-logs/
>chat-logs-expose-crash-override-network-as-online-bullies/
>jessi singal sees nothing wrong with leaks
>Crash Override Network Really Is a CON
https://www.allthink.com/1607896
Now, you could also drag FF in the mud since they fund CON, but that's probably not a good idea now that they've faded into obscurity.
HARD MODE
Another potential target for chaos is within the participants of the game jam itself. If we can find out who got burned in that shitshow, we could send relevant parts of the leaks to them. Believe me, Indie hipsters tell their friends about all their stupid fucking problems, so if they find out that one of their own burned them, that will spread within the indie community.
Matti Leshem, Aaron Umetani, and Jason Serrato are three individuals that were involved in the game jam in some important way, and got burned in part because Zoe sabotaged the event
All of this compounds on the fact that Zoe was a darling of the Twine Revolution and Difference Engine Initiative, which were two attempts by indies to democratize video game production. In other words, make it so people who don't have the skills to build an actual game can make shitty text adventures and still call them games without being laughed at.
Not only does she not have any talent, but she schemes behind everyone's back to fuck them over for her own gain too.
Jesus, and that's just leaning on the Polaris shit, there's still so much ammo we can shoot everywhere
Game Idea; host a huge-ass game server to run a pokemon-themed Minecraft empire game
Saw this on the KiA-pleb board and on Twitter. That windmill-and-clogs faggot Generaal just came up with a pretty good idea.
The gist of it is that GG-fags create their own nation on a huge-ass server in Minecraft where people then do Pokemon (Pixelmon mod) competitions, explore and build gigantic gyms, landscapes, cities, pokemon centres, factions etc. Support?
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WHaML4MdgypwsfAtKhCSpqjFps3-7tjBkR3y64An15w/edit#
Looking for info on game sales and players by sex.
I remember seeing a graph linked on reddit that had game genres separated by how much either sex was in the audience. For example, women leaned towards MMORPGs.
I don't recall where that graph was on reddit. So, how about we list whatever graphs, sales reports, what have you that show info on who buys what, plays what, by sex. I say such info could come in handy agsinst SJWs.
TOP LEL
TIME: How Trolls Are Ruining the Internet
>Trolling is, overtly, a political fight. Liberals do indeed troll–sex-advice columnist Dan Savage used his followers to make Googling former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum’s last name a blunt lesson in the hygienic challenges of anal sex; the hunter who killed Cecil the lion got it really bad.
>But trolling has become the main tool of the alt-right, an Internet-grown reactionary movement that works for men’s rights and against immigration and may have used the computer from Weird Science to fabricate Donald Trump. Not only does Trump share their attitudes, but he’s got mad trolling skills: he doxxed Republican primary opponent Senator Lindsey Graham by giving out his cell-phone number on TV and indirectly got his Twitter followers to attack GOP political strategist Cheri Jacobus so severely that her lawyers sent him a cease-and-desist order.
>The alt-right’s favorite insult is to call men who don’t hate feminism “cucks,” as in “cuckold.” Republicans who don’t like Trump are “cuckservatives.” Men who don’t see how feminists are secretly controlling them haven’t “taken the red pill,” a reference to the truth-revealing drug in The Matrix. They derisively call their adversaries “social-justice warriors” and believe that liberal interest groups purposely exploit their weakness to gain pity, which allows them to control the levers of power. Trolling is the alt-right’s version of political activism, and its ranks view any attempt to take it away as a denial of democracy.
>In this new culture war, the battle isn’t just over homosexuality, abortion, rap lyrics, drugs or how to greet people at Christmastime. It’s expanded to anything and everything: video games, clothing ads, even remaking a mediocre comedy from the 1980s. In July, trolls who had long been furious that the 2016 reboot of Ghostbusters starred four women instead of men harassed the film’s black co-star Leslie Jones so badly on Twitter with racist and sexist threats–including a widely copied photo of her at the film’s premiere that someone splattered semen on–that she considered quitting the service. “I was in my apartment by myself, and I felt trapped,” Jones says. “When you’re reading all these gay and racial slurs, it was like, I can’t fight y’all. I didn’t know what to do. Do you call the police? Then they got my email, and they started sending me threats that they were going to cut off my head and stuff they do to ‘N words.’ It’s not done to express an opinion, it’s done to scare you.”
>Because of Jones’ harassment, alt-right leader Milo Yiannopoulos was permanently banned from Twitter. (He is also an editor at Breitbart News, the conservative website whose executive chairman, Stephen Bannon, was hired Aug. 17 to run the Trump campaign.) The service said Yiannopoulos, a critic of the new Ghostbusters who called Jones a “black dude” in a tweet, marshaled many of his more than 300,000 followers to harass her. He not only denies this but says being responsible for your fans is a ridiculous standard. He also thinks Jones is faking hurt for political purposes. “She is one of the stars of a Hollywood blockbuster,” he says. “It takes a certain personality to get there. It’s a politically aware, highly intelligent star using this to get ahead. I think it’s very sad that feminism has turned very successful women into professional victims.”
>A gay, 31-year-old Brit with frosted hair, Yiannopoulos has been speaking at college campuses on his Dangerous Faggot tour. He says trolling is a direct response to being told by the left what not to say and what kinds of video games not to play. “Human nature has a need for mischief. We want to thumb our nose at authority and be individuals,” he says. “Trump might not win this election. I might not turn into the media figure I want to. But the space we’re making for others to be bolder in their speech is some of the most important work being done today. The trolls are the only people telling the truth.”
>The alt-right was galvanized by Gamergate, a 2014 controversy in which trolls tried to drive critics of misogyny in video games away from their virtual man cave. “In the mid-2000s, Internet culture felt very separate from pop culture,” says Katie Notopoulos, who reports on the web as an editor at BuzzFeed and co-host of the Internet Explorer podcast. “This small group of people are trying to stand their ground that the Internet is dark and scary, and they’re trying to scare people off. There’s such a culture of viciously making fun of each other on their message boards that they have this very thick skin. They’re all trained up.”
Legal question
So both twitter and intel pay femfreq, the first to be part of their bullshit “Trust and Safety Council” and the second as part of their diversity scheme thing
Thing is femfreq sponsors CON and is in a partnership with them
So, here's the question: considering what CON been doing and proof we got thanks to the leaks could twitter and intel be sued gawker-style for supporting and endorsing harassment and hate-speech?
Any lawfags here?
Huffington Post Bans Journalist For Writing About Hillary’s Health
Huffington Post Bans Journalist For Writing About Hillary’s Health, Deletes Article
The Huffington Post has sensationally censored an article pertaining to questions about Hillary Clinton’s health and banned the journalist who wrote it from posting on their website altogether.
http://www.infowars.com/huffington-post-bans-journalist-for-writing-about-hillarys-health-deletes-article/ https://archive.is/ZDG0f
Here's the article: https://archive.is/4evhr
You can debate whether or not the story was worthwhile but it comes down to this: the article was killed to protect the image of a powerful politician and not because HuffPo suddenly discovered integrity for five minutes and then lost it again. HP has all sorts of bullshit health articles and goes after other politicians' health, but not Hillary. The double standard is the problem.
If you have dirt on HuffPo, share it.

OBSERVATION TIME!
Alright, so we haveb a few of the old advertisers left and a handful of new, big names.
It appears that Gawker's advertising network has dwindled down to the biggest brand advertisers, probably hedging their bets that these companies are too big to be easily swayed by an anonymous email campaign. Instead of tons of smaller advertisers, the list is almost exclusively the Big Boys club - car makers, credit card companies (it took a year to get Discover to drop) and of course, fucking Amazon - Gawkers most steadfast partners and the only ones still there from the early days of DISNOD.
But sway them we must. Gather contact information and compile tactics and evidence in this thread, then spread the thread link to the hubs and social media.
LET'S MAKE SURE GAWKER DOESN'T HAVE THE CASH TO PAY FOR AN APPEAL!
DEUS VULT!
Also I took a couple screencaps as souvenirs. That place gets worse every fucking time I do this…
Ryulong perma-banned?
I just heard that the guy got kicked permanately of Rational Wiki, and that people (gamergaters) are asked to point out what is wrong in articles…..but no one has enough faith left.
Can anyone confirm?
Is the dragon dildo gone?
Have we finally slain the dragon?
Morale Thread
Never would have thought that after 2 years gamers would still truck on fighting off sjws and getting the word out on censorship issues. Truly gamers don't give up until something is won. Nothing but respect you guys.
Also I wish this was updated after the Gawker death star blew up. It sure feels like the homestretch now.
Feminist
I was at home, quietly minding my own bizz, When out of nowhere a wild feminist appeared. It used hate speech. "Cis white male!" It was not effective. Then my tv turned on and I heard it say "Oh my god, That's Jason Borne!" I knew I had to get out of there. So I jumped onto the back of my tamed Danny DeVito and rode away to safety.

Shillery is to speak on a certian "videogame contriversy" Thursday
https://twitter.com/mtracey/status/768277642281877504
It's not much to go on, but a certain Vice Journalist Blogger received word that:
>HRC is set to deliver remarks Thursday condemning a nebulous group that traces its origins to a video game controversy nobody understands.
NGee, whatever "videogame controversy" could this possibly mean?
It may mean nothing, or GG may be alluded to, or not even mentioned at all, but it would be wise to brace for impact if a bunch of shills and normies come here based on what Shillery says on Thursday.
Kotaku possibly increasing in shitness?
Returning GG'er here.
I just had this discussion whereas someone implied that Kotaku will flourish under Univisions new lead. Considering they also purchased Jezebel and Gizmodo it appears they plan on targeting millenials which have been/are the primary audience of the former Gawker assets.
I searched for Univision bias and it seems they are in bed with the democrat party so i wonder if more liberal pandering is to expect. I mean, im just taking wild guesses here but it seems they purposely report negative about Trump and conservatives. With GG having a reputation of being Trump supporters, Nationalists and all the other bullshit i could imagine that they increase the nonsense.
August 2014 GamerGate timeline
Are there any events or important things that happened that should be added to this?

VENGENCE! Max Read, Former Gawker editor-in-chief: GamerGate “most effective enemy” of Gawker Media
http://nymag.com/selectall/2016/08/did-i-kill-gawker.html
http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2016/08/19/former-gawker-editor-no-enemy-effective-gamergate/
Here is it, GamerGate's legacy: We killed the Gawker.
>Of all the enemies Gawker had made over the years — in New York media, in Silicon Valley, in Hollywood — none were more effective than the Gamergaters.
>Gamergate, a leaderless online movement dedicated to enforcing its own unique vision of “ethics in journalism,” had first taken up with Gawker Media the summer before, in 2014.
>Gamergate proved the power of well-organized reactionaries to threaten Gawker’s well-being.
>And when Gawker really went too far — far enough that even our regular defenders in the media wouldn’t step up to speak for us — Gamergate was there, in the background, turning every crisis up a notch or two and making continued existence impossible.
Proof-in-print that GamerGate's email campaign destabilized Gawker Media which, of-course, was finished by a leg-drop by the Hulkster in court who was being backed-up by fellow Gawker-victim-cum-exicutioner Peter Thiel.
It's been two years but we did it!
I simply can't post a smug enough anime girl image and/or Vivian who doesn't normally "do" smug outside PvP.
Also, I DID check the catalog and didn't see anything specifically about this article.
Assassins Creed Syndicate
>Anita and her harpies raise a stink about Assassins Creed Unity not having the inevitable female protagonist in a main title
>SJWsoft decides to include one in Syndicste because what is this the sixth, ninth, tenth PC/console game in the series with no gender and gender identity diversity
>The girl is basically a stealthy British Marysue, whereas the brother is the muscle
>You're supposed to take London back from the Templar street gangs
>Interestingly enough, these street gangs include women
>In Victorian London
>That you're encouraged to beat to a bloody pulp
Wow fuck historical accuracy. Is this the gender equality Anita would've wanted? Fistfights in this game can get pretty brutal.
It's one of the better Sassins Creeds, right behind Black Flag. Just above 3. Probably better than Unity which I didn't bother with. No I didn't pay full price for it - I got it free with an SSD I bought.
Smart people who don't look past the boogeyman
I listen to a couple of anime and gaming related podcasts. This one recently mentioned that Otakon had a gamergate-related panel, "Politics in Video Games". https://www.otakon.com/events_schedule_detail.asp?eventID=25&id=49102 Oddly, I don't see any mention of it here.
http://www.anigamers.com/podcasts/064-cannon-busters-under-the-dog-eating-contests-otakon-2016
Skip to 58:45 for relevant section
The hosts and guests on the podcast include people that I consider to be pretty smart. They present multiple informative, well-researched panels at multiple conventions. These are people who go deep enough to know about the production staff and sometimes stories about the creation process in the new and old anime they discuss. People who don't subscribe to the regressive idea that violent video games or violent anime/cartoons are harmful to society. People who call out bullshit business practices when they see it from media and games companies. People who see nuance and gradients where others might see black and white.
And yet, the reaction when the GG label comes up is the usual harassment mob of misogyny. The main concern is "how was this panel allowed in otakon, and are the organizers aware so it's never allowed again?" without regard to whether or not the panel might have had valid information or the quality of its delivery. Granted, it may well have been a shitshow judging by the description alone but neither me nor anyone on the podcast actually attended the panel and there is no recording that I have seen online. My point is in the discussion they create this cartoonish caricature of a hate-spewing ogre, card-carrying member of the Little Rascals' He-Man Woman Haters Club, ridiculous to the point that it makes me question how someone wouldn't stop for a moment and consider if this image is maybe a bit overblown. I have difficulty reconciling the fact that these generally well-informed people would ignore or dismiss things like the evidence of media bias and continued demonizing of games. Did they meet one too many actual autists in person or online that reinforced the image? Is their knowledge of GG based entirely on just what they read on mainstream publications and their contacts in the industry? Is the idea of complaining about biased journalism and industry mutual back-scratching considered just stupid as a whole when admittedly, there are bigger problems in the world to be concerned with than things like sex scenes removed on english localized games?

The #GamerGate Twitter Thread
THE GAMERGATE HASHTAG:
https://twitter.com/search?q=%23GamerGate&src=savs
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
This thread is for the following things:
>Tracking the progress of the #GamerGate hashtag.
>Sharing Twitter account handles so anons can follow each other.
>Pointing out trending tags and HAPPENINGS that may be relevant to #GG and #NYS.
>Discussing Twitter etiquette, including how to keep your sanity while using their service.
>Shilling relevant Tweets from you and others in #GG so anons can Heart/Retweet them for increased exposure.
>Find targets to monitor. Indie clique members, corrupt journalists, well-connected SJWs causing problems are good examples. Post their social media information here and use
to archive their stuff.
WHAT YOU CAN DO TO PARTICIPATE
Click the link at the top of this OP and scroll through the traffic in the tag. Heart and (more importantly) RETWEET anything that concerns shitty games media, gaming issues, exposing SJW bullshit, etc. Make your own tweets using the tag and post a link here to get them spread (if they're good).
I don't have a Twitter / I left Twitter
Make a new one.
The importance of our ability to spread #GG info to the masses can not be overstated.
Dodge the Blockbots!
With your new account, you should AVOID following the following accounts:
@Grummz
@Nero
@CHSommers
as that will trigger the #GG Autoblocker and prevent you from engaging with many journos and others duped into using it. Even oldschool Twitter vet anons would be well advised to make a new Twitter and reboot.
Twitter is also a Salt Mining enterprise!
When you see hostiles, get them talking. Get them making asses out of themselves and archive it for all the world to see. Share and link to screencaps and archives of it.
Follow friendlies!
In the #GamerGate tag link at the top of this post you will see many of your brothers and sisters posting. If you like what they say, follow them and ask them to follow you. #OPSkyNet is a hashtag for #GG to follow each other, but use it sparingly as it can cause unintended consequences.
Avoid Social Media Cancer.
Stay out of private groups and cliques. Remember, be reasonable when arguing with SJWs - you will never convince THEM, but the AUDIENCE looking on at you will judge both sides. Let the SJWs be the assholes and keep your own nose clean.
>Be clear.
>Be concise.
>Bring evidence.
>Keep your cool.
>Avoid arguing with trolls and faggots.
>Keep to the issues!

Why not Woman's Sky
*Goro Facepalm*
This must not be real, this must be troll
Jezebel will not be reviewing—or even playing—No Man’s Sky. In a game that claims to take place inside “an infinite procedurally generated galaxy,” there should be more than enough room for equality.
OP Rotting Meat
Despite Gawker being fucked 5 ways to sunday, some people still want to buy Gawker.
Now what sort of message does that send- that an organization can be completely unethical and still survive?
> They should have sold before the trial, now its like selling a rotted piece of meat. The name is too tainted. Make sure to spead that kucktaco and jezebel are a part of gawker.
> No one wants jezebel. It's an extremely niche site in this media, that is much too specific and strange to be asked for. It's not rare and special enough, as you'd find this shit anywhere else; and it's not inimitable enough either.
> Kotaku however is their most profitable outlet, and it's obvious it'd be the first on the list to be bought; which would imply that all the journalists would get immediately fired and replaced with even more worthless cunts.
The Goal
- Spread word of Gawker and it's branches of ALL the horrid shit they've done. Show the Gawker brand is toxic- especially to investors.
- Get investors to know that the people know Gawker is synonymous with bad clickbait and criminal activity. Use $ on twitter- it's a # for stock-market codes. So $TWTR would pique the interest of everyone who invests in Twitter. Find out Gawker's stock market code, and the hashtags investors use to find info. Like Adland but for billionaires who buy blogs and news sites.
- If anyone does publicly come out as buying Gawker (whether the deal is done or hasn't been signed yet), bring up their name next to all of Gawker's bad articles (Confessions of a horse fucker, pedos aren't monsters, etc.)
- Provide ammo for all of the above (repost old Gawker et al. articles, make infographs, etc)
MSM may have just had its Gamers Are Dead moment
Pic related, source: https://voat.co/v/Conspiracy/comments/1186437
This needs confirmation before we roll with it. One of the Voat comments suggests that several of the headlines are wire service copies of the same article. Those don't count. There still are several similar looking headlines with different authors named underneath them. Are they legit?
If it checks out, spread it. Do not get caught up in arguments over whether Trump is good or bad. This is about the media coordinating a message behind the scenes.
Cancer crew has dun goofed pt 1
What the hell happened?
A seekrit IRC club of namefags had the control over the first two gamergays boards that both went tits up due to drama and almost every other Gamergays resource online. When Acidman and the /v/ general took over, the club got very pissed, because they couldn't freely shitpost their garbage anymore. What followed was a scorpion shill attack that split the board into 2 and then ggrevolt had been founded. The main topic of revolt is driving out any eceleb that isn't under the cancer crews' control and driving out BOs they don't like while PAing /intl/, a bunch of former Warosu posters. A few weeks ago, the cancer crew drove out Oliver Campbell and their next target then was Acidman. This is why we have a shit thread about him here. After a successful dox by /baph/, the cancer crew attempted to swat Acid by the ATF, but the FBI didn't buy it, because Acid is also selling restricted guns to the Police and the FEDs. So the FBI contacted Acid and asked him if knows anything about the people behind the swatting attempt instead and he gave them the digging folder he was working on with other people for months. Now the entire cancer crew is sperging and panicking. Revolt even lost one of its volunteers.
Unethical wikipedia deletions?
simply posting in case it's worth noting, as there has been many negative threads about this dev team on 4chan's /v/ lately including compilation pictures showing possibly non-ethical situations involving their kickstarter and general development.
however it appears that GyroVorbis (the username of the Elysian Shadows development leader) has begun deleting material off his wikipedia page that makes him look bad.
while it may be true that some of the claims are false, one of the deletions includes the fact that in Junw 2015 he promised kickstarter backers weekly updates and videos, and since then has only posted 3 or 4 (and not a single post throughout 2016 at this point).
may or may not be anything of importance, but I figured I would post it.
GamerGate target drops case against harasser that started it all

Text of Article[Links omitted]:
Game developer Zoë Quinn has been through an awful lot in the 18 months since an ex-boyfriend posted details of his relationship with her online. But now she's dropping harassment charges against the man who essentially started the GamerGate firestorm because it's not worth the emotional trauma to carry the case forward anymore. "Ironically, getting a restraining order against Creep Throat [Quinn's pseudonym for her ex] was the least effective thing I could do in terms of getting him out of my life for good, and for protecting myself," she writes.
Quinn explains that whenever something happened within the case, her ex would go back and stoke the GamerGate sympathizer fire, and in turn, she (along with family and friends) would be subjected to a new round of threats and abuse. "People kept getting hurt for being close to me, for a poorly worded restraining order that did nothing," Quinn says.
She mentions that law enforcement officials, judges and lawyers are incredibly ignorant about how the internet works and at one point someone told her to give up her career and stop going online if she didn't like the abuse. "He barely bothered to look at my huge stack of evidence before declaring he had no idea what the internet was about and didn't want to know." The continual threats are something that's affected her work with Crash Override, the support group she and Alex Lifschitz founded for victims of online abuse, as well.
She says that even if she kept pushing her suit forward, if her ex was imprisoned his legions of followers would see it as martyrdom. Which, based on previous harassment she's endured, Quinn says the would only give them more fuel for their attacks. So rather than continue the fight in vain, Quinn hopes her withdrawal of charges will help her heal and move on.
Airplay 2 is cancelled
http://www.gamejournalism.net/apps/blog/show/43897846-airplay-2-update-17
>It is with deep regret for us to announce that AirPlay 2 is canceled.
>Due to situations beyond our control, we have had no choice, but to make this decision.
>The initial venue that we had, was forced to cancel the planing of Sunday events, which unfortunately meant that AirPlay 2 had to be canceled.
>We have been forced to look for a venue that could hold AirPlay 2 at the last minute, however many of the venues that we looked at would charge us more for a last minute booking, or would not meet certain requirements to help run the event.
>The next logical step would be to push AirPlay 2 back to another time, but we have already used funds to purchase airplane tickets and cannot get refunds on them. We have also bought equipment that was either on sale, or a floor-model, which also means we cannot return them.
…
>We have reached out to Gofundme to attempt to refund the money that people have donated. They are canceling the last check to refund some of the donors.
>Both GJN and Gofundme will try to reach out to as many of the donors as possible to give them a refund, however, not every donor will be able to get a refund due to checks being cashed and spent, and many being anonymous donors that we cant contact.

Crash Override Network and Robert Marmolejo: How an Online Abuse Helpline May Have Enabled Sexual Harassment
The “Zoe Post” was a lengthy journal entry detailing the relationship between Zoe Quinn and Eron Gjoni, uploaded to the internet by Gjoni after he discovered that Quinn had engaged in multiple affairs. In this journal entry, Zoe Quinn was implicated in performing sexual favors in exchange for positive coverage of her indie video game title Depression Quest. For gamers, this was a confirmation of what they had suspected for years: there is a very real problem with journalistic corruption in the video game industry. This event precipitated the heated, years-long cultural and political debate known as #GamerGate, a controversy that has seen threats exchanged, friendships destroyed and the cultural landscape of an entire hobby irreversibly altered.
Because the blog post detailing Zoe’s affairs became Ground Zero for #GamerGate, Zoe became the target of much scrutiny and verbal abuse from gamers who saw her as the embodiment of unfair games media practices. Zoe, for her part, sought to utilize this experience as a “woman dealing with online harassment”. She created Crash Override Network(CON), an online support group for victims of wide-scale internet abuse. The CON website describes itself as “a crisis helpline, advocacy group and resource center for people who are experiencing online abuse”. However, recent events cast a pall over everything which Zoe Quinn and Crash Override Network have achieved in the wake of #GamerGate.
Many video game journalists, indie game developers and anonymous internet posters provided moral and financial support for Zoe Quinn during her ensuing legal battle with Eron Gjoni. Invariably, many of these people were vocally against #GamerGate, which they saw as an organized harassment campaign which Gjoni had baited into attacking Quinn. Using private chatrooms to communicate, they formed a community which eventually came to be called “anti-#GamerGate”. It was from this community that Quinn recruited staff for her Crash Override Network.
Japan’s record on women’s rights wants to ban violence against woman at videogames and cartoons.

(Do you see that "ow.ly/YaCbm" on the tweet?
It's an shortlink to a english document about this shit.
It's kinda easy to lost it in middle of japanese text.)
Also it's not only game related but cartoons as well.
I would like to know how to spread this information to western cartoon community
because who could guarantee this ban will stay only in Japan?

What's up with ''male power fantasies''?
I noticed that for SJW outrages over games or other works like Dragon Crown with foxy ladies when somebody points when the men get exaggerated and/or idealized traits along with the women some SJW pulls the Male Power Fantasy card. Along with pulling junk like being big and strong helps with what the men do but having big boobs and/or showing more skin doesn't help what the women do (namely in a video that has some tank top wearing white knight pull that card).
I've also seen junk like a comic (I don't remember who drew it, but I doubt it came from PA itself considering their stance on Dragon's Crown) that some SJW posted on BoingBoing.net where Gabe from Penny Arcade says he doesn't have a problem with how Dragon's Crown's Sorceress looks ('cause she's an attractive woman with super huge breasts) but would have a problem with the Fighter character showing more skin and having huge testicles (because apparently a man having super huge balls is the same as a woman having super huge boobs). Stuff like that and the Hawkeye Initiative that SJWs think they're clever for pulling out.
Has anybody pointed asked if being super hot is a female power fantasy? And so characters like the Sorceress can get away with how they look thanks to that?

ZQ/Chelsea has her hooks in Stolen/Famous twitter profile trading app
ALART ALART
>A month ago, after one of the worst weeks of his life, Siqi Chen received a message from an unlikely source. Chen is the CEO of the company behind Stolen, a controversial game that let users buy and sell Twitter profiles like trading cards. Each user started with virtual currency that could be used to "buy" others; rapid buying and selling bidded up the price on popular profiles. After an initial surge in popularity, the game came under criticism for allowing people’s profiles to be traded and commented on without their consent. Facing a barrage of criticism over the game’s potential to enable abuse, Chen pulled Stolen from the App Store on January 14th.
>Three days later, the direct message arrived on Twitter. It was from Zoe Quinn, the game developer, writer, and activist. Quinn was the original target of Gamergate, the campaign of harassment against women in the video game industry. The movement began in August 2014 after Quinn’s ex-boyfriend wrote a long, acrimonious, and inaccurate blog post about her; she subsequently became subject to doxxing and death threats. Today she runs Crash Override, a network of experts who offer support to victims of abuse.
>Early in Stolen’s life, Quinn had sent the company a sharply worded note asking to have her profile removed from the game. (It quickly complied.) But Quinn’s message to Chen that Sunday morning was not accusatory. Instead, seeing the furor directed at Chen by Stolen players, she offered her support. "I know how nasty backlash can be on the internet," Quinn says. "I just reached out — I was like, ‘hey, I hope you guys are all right. I know you got a lot of backlash. If stuff gets scary or anything, I do run an anti-harassment organization. Let me know if there’s anything I can do to help.’"
>What followed led to today’s release of Famous, an iOS app that picks up where Stolen left off. (An Android version is now in beta.) Like its predecessor, the game represents an effort to let people show off their fandom by collecting their favorite friends, celebrities, and brands on Twitter. But the game differs in several crucial respects, which has earned it the support of Quinn, who is now a paid consultant to the development team.
>Famous is different from Stolen in two important ways. One, the game is entirely opt-in: unless a person joins Famous, you’ll never see them in the game. Second, the app has dropped its off-putting language related to "stealing" and "owning" people. Instead, you "become their biggest fan." What used to feel uncomfortably like a slave auction is now depicted as a show of support.
>The result is a game that captures much of what made Stolen appealing without creating the same avenues for abuse. "This vision and this design are supposed to be about being a fan," says Chen, who remains unreservedly apologetic for the problems surrounding Stolen. The germ of Famous, he says, was: "What if we made it about being a fan? A sense of competition over who’s the biggest fan. … The game is explicitly positive. It’s not like, ‘ha ha, you’re mine now.’"
>Another new feature is called "Top Fans." It appears underneath your profile, and shows everyone who has competed to be your No. 1 fan. "It makes the gameplay feels a lot less ephemeral, which was probably the biggest problem with our old mechanic," Chen says. And it’s true — Stolen often felt pointless because someone could steal a person back instantly, without ever leaving a trace of your momentary possession.
>Those changes aside, Famous looks and feels a lot like Stolen — which in turn was based on Friends For Sale, a once-popular Facebook game Chen released in 2007 that eventually sold to Zynga. With Famous you still log in through Twitter, and players are still represented by trading cards. Instead of showing a price tag, the card now shows a numerical "fame" value. To become someone’s biggest fan, you’ll have to pay up. You can buy currency using real money. Or you can use the currency you earn from your own, um … fan transactions? (The language around Stolen, while fatally creepy, was also much easier to grasp.)
GGBlocker 1.3.3 Released

tl;dr: Switches to archive.is, adds filter importing/exporting and deletion, improves archive.is with helpful buttons. Has jokes.
Changes
=Version 1.3.3 Patch=
Removed 4chan.org from default filter list.
Tweaked tool button sizes to compensate for users running resolutions < 1080p. IT'S CURRENT_YEAR FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE! ===Version 1.3.2 Update===
Switched default archive url to archive.is.
All archive.is pages now have a "Fetch Fresher Page" link.

Added tool for importing list of filters.
Added tool for reseting filter list to default.
Added two bad jokes which I think are hilarious at this time of night.
Permissions Note Some users on Twitter have mentioned that this version of GGBlocker is requesting more permissions than previous versions. I think that this is due to changes in Chrome and the Web Store. I have uploaded the source for v1.2.1 to gitgud.io so people can check out the changes if they'd like. Here is a screenshot of a diff on the manifest: http://i.imgur.com/lJNqyjv.jpg
The permissions that are requested are sensible IMHO. GGBlocker needs to read every webrequest to block site. It needs to write into sites to add helper buttons to archive.is.

Ruling today in Toronto social media "harassment" case
>The outcome of what's believed to be the first criminal harassment case in Canada involving Twitter will help set the tone for how the courts and society navigate the nuances of online interaction, observers said Thursday.
>A verdict is expected Friday in the Ontario Court of Justice trial of Gregory Alan Elliott, a Toronto man facing two charges of criminal harassment over his dealings with two local women's rights activists on Twitter.
http://www.freedomoftweets.ca/
>If you live in Toronto, you've almost certainly seen Gregory Alan Elliott’s art. He is a prolific street artist and graphic designer known for producing motivational artwork. His work has been featured by the Toronto Star.
>In November 2012, Elliott was arrested and charged with criminal harassment after arguing with several activists on Twitter. He didn't threaten or endanger anyone. All he did was argue.
>As a result of his detention and trial, Greg has accumulated nearly one hundred thousand dollars in legal fees. He has been prohibited from using computers and the Internet and forced to leave his job.
>Gregory Alan Elliott lives in Toronto with his four sons. He is currently awaiting the final verdict in his trial.

Update!
Hi guys, webcomic creator here. GamerGate helped me out a year ago winning a certain webcomic contest.
But now I'm not allowed into the special indie comic clique any longer.
Hahaha, no, but just wanted to give an update and say I'm doing fantastic, and I won this years awards! First place, and 3,000 Dollar price! So thank you for your help back in the day, I was really low at that point, and I really needed that confidence boost that you gave me, after I got fired.

the general gist of it is that on that on that day on that time we all post derogatory(not edgy, you know the difference) yet truthful comments in the tag #BanMeNow in an attempt to deliberately get our account shadow banned so that we can red-pill normies who will find sympathy for the guys trying to stand up to twitters unreasonableness, make twitter mods and report button shills overwhelmed with the shear numbers of problematic tweets, make twitter mods responsible for deleting the accounts of 6 million ex-paying customers (essentially quickening their ride to bankruptcy) in a shoah of epic proportions and get the point across to twitter that their cyber violence will not be tolerated.
boosting morale with CRINGE!
so I came across this cringe vid on youtube and it got me thinking. we need a good morale thread to remind us of what kind of idiocy we're fighting against. so here we go,
ITT: post any cringe videos of SJWs and corrupt journos you can find and let's point and laugh at their idiocy to boost morale. this can be anything from instant karma to cringey behavior caught on camera and anything else cringe worthy.
I'll start us off with an SJW getting arrested for trying to pull her Tumblr logic with a cop trying to do his job.
BUTTHURT FROM KLEPEK AND MYERS
LOL Klepek and Meyers reactions over the Nichegamer article on Nintendo localizing Pokemon Sun and Moon themselves
http://nichegamer.com/2016/02/rest-easy-the-pokemon-company-is-localizing-pokemon-sun-and-moon/
Meyers still going on ranting he's receiving harassment. Cuckadoodle doo.

WE INTERRUPT THE DOWNPOUR TO ANNOUNCE THE NEW GG WIKI IS OPEN FOR TESTING
These past few days you might remember shenanigans about shell access and cellphones. Well I managed to ghetto-rig a way to fix the images so it's all good now. Now's the part where you test drive it.
http://thisisvideogames.com/gamergatewiki/
Insert your favorite memes, share some dolphin literotica, whatever, so long as it's legal. I encourage you unbearable faggots to go and try to break the site or otherwise try to find some security flaw.
Some notes:
- I'm currently looking for an automated way to rotate the featured article. If you know how, please share.
- Despite my efforts, I couldn't apply short URLs nor an appropriate 404 page (currently it redirects to my main site).
- Barring some 6 or 7 pics missing, which I already accounted for, the wiki should initially be identical to the one at gamergatewiki.com
- Requires registration in a rather quixotic attempt to keep shills away.
IT WILL BE NUKED BEFORE THE DOMAIN REDIRECT IS CHANGED
Moving Forward
With the failure of NEXT and the reassertion of 8chan in its current form, as well as the recent repairs to the vichan software (the site now runs more like it did at the beginning, with much fewer errors) its time for the board to look forward to the future again.
Several projects were put on hiatus when the Next migration was announced and the site errors began to accumulate.
Digging Generals.
Digger training.
#GG interviews.
Event nights.
Recap and update streams.
Daily goals and OPERATIONS.
These things are going to come back to the forefront of the board and off the back burner. We have a cause to fight for and a war to win.
We've taken our licks, but like any good raid team we have long ago learned to come back from the occasional wipe - stronger and more resolved. You anons have stuck with this board through good times and bad, through shills, through board wars, through pointless and petty drama of every demoralizing stripe.
I'm still just a faggot, but I'm proud of and indebted to every last one of you.
Let's get the word out.
Do you have a Twitter? A Firefly Tumblr? A Disqus account? Go throw out a call to our wayward anons that 8chan is recovering. Get the word out to normalfriends that there is still a place to take the fight to shitty media and their SJW cronies.
Remind them that all through this thing - the closest thing the Internet could ever call a World War, #Gamergate's banner is still flying here.
We have a site. We have a board. We have our autism. We have a voice.
Let's get to work.
sjws in boardgames
anons, sharing this from my feed.
so we got /v, /a, and /co in this…
but something in /tg might be brewing.
i already replied with a standard retort but i don't really have the arsenal handy. needless to say there are many others who also didn't agree.
tips on how to properly troll the everliving hell out of them and sound classy as fuck doing it?
i'm no regular here, but like any one of you, i am also bound by the burden that we all share…
i also love laughing at all the shit sjws do
Sandy Beaches: Feminist Game Critic of the Mary Sue
So if you haven't heard, some beardy guy (actually an ex-game journo in Australie fired over GG) posed as a 'feminist games critic' girl named Sandy Beaches and got 2 articles posted on the Mary Sue to further shit on their already shaky credibility.
Despite this shit people still read this shit, their links are shared over the internet and yes it can and has been cited by wikipedia.
TBs comments: https://sli.mg/m4HnJz
American McGhee's based takedown of this cancer: https://sli.mg/m4HnJz
His confessions:
His 'Sandy Beaches' articles:
Anita speaking at CSUN
God-fucking Dammit, she's going to my school.
>Anita's work focuses on deconstructing the stereotypes and tropes associated with women in popular culture as well as highlighting issues surrounding the targeted harassment of women in online and gaming spaces. Anita earned her bachelor’s degree in Communication Studies at CSUN and her Master’s degree in Social and Political Thought at York University. In 2012 she was targeted by an online harassment campaign following her launch of a Kickstarter project to fund the Tropes vs. Women in Video Games series.
Well, /gg/, who wants to see what she has to say?
Shoutouts to Snark & Tim
I just recently found out these two are included in the special thanks in this game FIREWATCH its a walking simulator in case you were wondering what kind of game it is.
Now this brings up an important question would you still play a game even if the people who made the game look up to someone like Anita or Tim?would you instantly look at it with disgust even if they played no role whatsoever in the development and were merely added there to the credits as a Shout-out?
Youtube is doing some REALLY shady shit.
Ok so I go to youtube today and find out that vid related is happening. I don't know what the fuck is going on over there but apparently several youtube partners have suddenly had nearly all of their features, including monetization, revoked seemingly over a DMCA strike. Not only this, but YT is throwing up all sorts of red tape on the affected users for no goddamn reason. I smell bureaucratic bullshit, what about you?
Abused ignorants
My subject is this: The manosphere (anti-feminism, MRA, PUA, TRP) is the establishment? A new form of totalitarianism? One that has a lot of power to start considering a threat?
I found funny how during gamergate many of these humans believed they where fighting against censorship, but they where the only ones who censor the opponents of the movement!
I feel like I don't have any freedom in imageboards (and, again, feminism never take away my freedom, they did it), I know it sound something big, but here's the thing; If I post that I read Chomsky, they atack me, if I made a comment on a left-wing site that has not relation with this movement, they come and spam it. Almost every thing that has some relation to non-manosphere ideas, they come and censor everything.
If this movement continues to grow, what would happen in 5, 10 years? Would there be any non-fascist space around?
Every tenet they fight for; they are the ones who created it, or they practice it, but the opponent doesn't.
I once read I fake post, saying something like "CIA could create feminism"…the funny thing to this, is that the US government has only created counter-movements against the left; Contra in latin america? Gaddafi? Iraq war?
They are doing it in front of us: http://www.appliedmemeticsllc.com/
I want to start being paranoid and conspiracist; the same thing applied at the inverse: how do we know the new right movement was created because of the fear that the left was gaining momentum?
Look at the "fathers" of this movement…if this is not in relation with the government…the quantity of money they make out of ads…probably millions per year; enough to think about their intentions.
Christfags hating on Pokemon Go like the 90s
https://youtu.be/rADlx1mrgIg?t=52m
They believe Pokemon Go is the government agenda to desecrate churches with demons known as Pokemon.
They even quote the p4rgaming fake interview about Tajiri talking about creating Pokemon because he hates Christians…
Christians are almost like SJWs
>kek
>they are literal demonic cyber digital demons
>failure to understand gyms
>portals to demonic spirit realms
>pokemon go used in churches to catch demons
They call the cops on this kid playing pokemon go around a church.
Pokemon has caught the eye of normies again so that means its back to the glory days of 90s popularity?
Still not finished
I feel like some of you just don't get it. There's still so much left for us to do. If we gather all the gamergaters together we can march together. We can fight together.
A small team of us can take hold of major government institutions, we can make the laws conform to us. We can become a violent gang. I know that a bunch of you are afraid, but thats okay. We will march forward stomping those down who dare DARE speak ill of gamergate.
An uprising of the gamergaters has long long been in the cards. And I dare say it's the only possible future for this movement. Step forward with me anons……….we are the leaders of gamergate and we will not be stopped.
Vidya gaem angle on Ghostbusters 2016 movie fiasco
The developers of the official Ghostbusters video game have gone bankrupt just three days after the game was released, it has been revealed.
Fireforge Games, the development studio behind the video game, filed for chapter 7 bankruptcy with debts of up to $12 million, Kotaku has revealed.
The company, which was founded in Irvine in 2011, had failed to establish itself properly in the video game industry and had not produced a high profile multi-platform game before.
The game was reportedly developed in under 8 months and has received a dismal Metacritic score of just 31/100.
The game’s lack of success might have been somewhat inevitable considering the failure of the Ghostbusters remake on which it is based, with the film opening to empty theatres across the US and official merchandise being placed on sale racks before the film was even released.
Breitbart Tech editor Milo Yiannopoulos’s criticism of the film for its social justice narrative also led to a Twitter spat with actress Leslie Jones which resulted in him being permanently banned from the platform, known for its disdain of conservative media.
Okcupid vs Black Lives Matter
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRuUFR1EnAE
The neckbeard finally did it… wow. Longtime 4chan troll Jim Profit finally raises a ruckus by calling out some okcupid mod and their "child sex ring".
https://twitter.com/lizardluvr420
Here's her profile. Now all I know of Jim as of late is he sleezes around Black Lives Matter and Bernie Sanders Facebook pages. I think he must've read Saul Alinskey's rules for radicals or something. As this doesn't seem like his style to randomly attack some upper middle-class white girl out of the blue.
This could be a setup against BLM, I don't know… Jim was palling around with that software site that wanted to dox everybody. and got closed by Kickstarter for being extremely fucking psychotic. Seems Jimmy and the girl went their separate ways but where as she went underground, he's moving on up to more mainstream SJW stuff.
This all smells of CIA bad psyops. That's what trolling used to be called before everyone just assumed it was some dumbass on the internet.
Based Nippon is fighting, why are the western game developers hiding in their safe spaces?
Operation Rainfall also asked if we can start seeing more Asia releases like Moero Chronicle in the future. Akenaga seemed more concerned in trying to fix the situation in the West:
>That’s actually Compile Heart Asia’s decision, not really ours. We could start seeing that more in Asia, but maybe we should do something to change in the West in the future. Anyway, we just don’t want to censor anymore.

Bayonetta is in Smash
Bayonetta is going to be a DLC in Super Smash Bros. While this is pretty awesome news, get ready to hear how this is also a "major victory for feminism."
Much like Undertale, it seems that the SJW'sw ant to claim Bayonetta as their own and this is a major win against us sexist gamers.
Just wanted to give everyone a little heads up
aGGro website Gamergatecritique about to expire. Opportunity?
A blog that gives chronology and "criticism" from an SJW perspective of the Gamergate hashtag is expiring soon. Ironic that the latest update (which predicts that Gamergate is "spiraling into silence") is dated November of 2014.
https://gamergatecritique.wordpress.com/2014/10/22/what-is-gamergate/#more-15 (Goes to actual website).
When first loading the page, I am given a popup that tells me that this domain name has expired and needs to be renewed. Could be an opportunity of two things. Archiving and buying it out (partially for keks). Any other ideas?
Wayback machines archive link here: http://web.archive.org/web/20150801131905/http://gamergatecritique.com/ Not sure if it will be reliable long term.

Christmas party with antis
Do you believe Gamergate is a war to be won or, if at all possible, would you rather prefer to mitigate some of the conflict through respectful dialogue with the other side? I've been thinking that it might be nice to try to foster a civil and compassionate dialogue with the other side somehow in the Christmas spirit of things. I don't know if they'd be down for it or just call it sea lioning, but I think it would be nice if we could come together for a day instead of fighting each other all the time. Kind of like when we throw board parties and /baph/ and /pol/ and /cuteboys/ and /christian/ and /muslim/ and everyone else all come together and have a nice time just for one day.

(second link archived in case they backpedal and delete it) https://archive.is/KmUZc
>"Do you know many issues happening in video game industry with regard to how to treat female in video game industry? We do not want to talk those things here. But certainly we have gone through in last year or two to come to our decision. Thank you."
I wonder how the
>SJWS HAVE NO INFLUENCE ON ANYTHING, ONLY AUTISTS THINK OTHERWISE, THE ONLY COURSE OF ACTION IS TO IGNORE THEM!!!!
types feel now.
And yes, this specific game will get an English translation for the Asian releases from what I gather. But what about many games that won't? Regardless of whether it's a particularly big deal for THIS game or not, such a decision just tells them "yes, you CAN influence the Japanese games industry".
I say let them know how stupid this is. There's barely any reaction at all, I assume because no one is considering the wider implications of this because "YOU CAN STILL PLAY IT IN ENGLISH SO SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU DRAMATIC FAGGOT!!!!!"
GamerGate Ethics Paper, need help.
Greetings /GG/ (not guns and girls).
I'm here because i'm writing a paper for my journalistic ethics class and i want to write about GamerGate. I've been a follower of the movement from the start and find it to be a fantastic example of journalistic ethics gone shit.
I come here asking for any sources explaining the history of the movement, from Quinn's Five Guys, Gawker, Wu and up until now.
If anybody here can help me with this info it would be greatly appreciated.
We're gunna be famous guys!
Guys they're making a film about us! I hope they get sethrogan to play me
:^)
> Amy Pascal’s Pascal Pictures has won a bidding battle for Crash Override: How To Save The Internet From Itself, a memoir by game designer Zoe Quinn that sold to Touchstone/Simon & Schuster and will be published September, 2016. The property was bid on by several studios and TV outlets, and several actresses are circling, with interest from Scarlett Johansson said to be keenest.
HAHA, TIME FOR DEMOGRAPHICS
Pew Research Centre has done a study on the demographics of gamers using a pool of 2000 samples, with only 925 playing games. Seems pretty low to me.

When the fuck did this happen?
Is the KiA wiki the only one left now?
I just wanted to look up instances of corruption involving Kellee Santiago (Ouya, IGF) after seeing her in that awful awful bit on Adam Ruins Everything (a show I usually agree with on most points).
Jim Sterling Did Nothing Wrong
Why is Jim Sterling a name that gets dragged through the mud here? What is it with you faggots and your petty grudges against critics that hold a few different opinions from you? I like Jim Sterling's consumerist critique enough to excuse his feminist apologia. Vid related.
It's like you want the greater public to appreciate gaming as an artform with none of the necessary criticism you don't want to hear because it makes you personally uncomfortable, as high art should at least be able to do.
Fuck Bob Chipman though, that creep says something stupid and off-putting anytime he opens his mouth.
SJWs trying to rebrand Bayonetta as an empowering anti-patriarchal screed or whatever the fuck
twitter.dot.com/MyOwnVelouria/status/675484586902556672
From the same mindset that brought you "anime fanservice is normally wrong and disgusting and misogynist but Kill La Kill is an empowering feminist masterpiece" i.e. "if I like it, it should be allowed"
I have no idea what the panel said as there are no videos yet but I've argued with SA goons trying to make the same points before (horribly) and I doubt these people had anything new to say on the subject.
Chelsea would like your feedback
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1jmLbCTlLRqWhoT59mR6INS9QcdfNBEClwRMz9g9iqdQ/viewform?c=0&w=1
Seems like a reasonable opportunity to document the abuse you've received at the hands of SJWs for the past year and a bit.
Kotaku gets triggered by a weeb steam curator
>Waifu Hunter(a joke curator) shit talks Read Only Memories
>Grayson gets triggered because he's friends with the devs(he even disclosed it lel)
>Waifu Hunter is also dangerously close to Kotaku's amount of followers as a curator
>kuchera joins in on twitter
This is amazing. Journos got triggered that they can't control the narrative and people can shit talk the artsy fartsy games their friends make.
A bloo bloo only we should be able to spout drivel.
Conflicts of Interest at IGN
So, There is an Associate Editor at IGN by the name of Brendan Graeber, who uses the Handle "RaggaFragga"
This is his Twitter Handle - https://twitter.com/Ragga_Fragga
Here you can see him touting "5 awesome Metroid Levels in Mario Maker" www.ign.com/videos/2015/09/17/5-awesome-metroid-levels-in-super-mario-maker-made-in-mario
and he's also done a 5 awesome Zelda videos.
Brendan is also responsible for most of the Wiki's on the website.
This all seems nice and innocent, but in these videos, The people that made the "awesome Zelda/Metroid" levels are all made from users of a streaming website that Brendan visits called "Vidya Shorts", where he is a well respected member of their Autismo community. Brendan doesn't hide this on his twitter page, but fails to mention that his friends made the levels. He's basically whoring out his friends streams and not disclosing it.
On top of that, if you spend a short amount of time on VidyaShorts you can see "RaggaFragga" offering early copies of games/press swag to users, if they write his wiki/faq's for him, and he does not disclose this either.
You can't spell IGN without Ignorant.
Why are we not IGF digging?
Judging for the corrupt IGF is going on RIGHT NOW. This was the BIGGEST STORY in the early days of GamerGate when it was proven that the SJW festival skipped over real games like RogueStar's to give awards (and CASH MONEY) to SJW garbage.
SILVERSTRING MEDIA has a game in this year's entries, how much you want to bet that all the judges are going to collude to give it an award?
Other SJW shit like Undertale and Cibele are also in for awards.
I remember other anons were talking about getting into the judging group to make sure that this shit didn't happen, were we just too lazy to do it?
The top prize for this is $30,000! $30,000 in hipster welfare to corrupt SJW trash. WHY ARE WE NOT DIGGING???
So I'm writing about #GG...
Hey /gghq/, long story short is I'm doing a run-down of the first year of GamerGate for the final project of one of my classes. Everything's going alright so far, and the professor is on board with the idea but I'm having trouble finding info on GG after May 2015 where the Gamergate Wiki just stops. I'd rather not use solely the Ghazi wiki as a source for four whole months, even if I've used it for a few pieces of info. I admittedly stopped paying total attention to #GG around the time the SVU episode aired but that's my bad.
Basically aside from ##GGinDC, DeepFreeze and SWJ Airplay, I need a refresher on the big happenings between May and August. Images and Links preferred, but a basic rundown works too.
Why does Anita refuse to point out legitimate acts of sexism?
If Anita was to point out examples of sexism in gaming that would make the majority of gamers say "Yeah, that's definitely sexist", would anyone but the most neckbearded virgin say a bad word against her?
For instance, the Borderlands guy John Hemingway referring to Mechromancer as "girlfriend mode" because she's easy to play even if you really suck at FPS games (and then backpedaling like a motherfucker when called out on it), or a female player at a Brawl (I think) tournament who was assumed to be a spectator or brought along as eye-candy according to a commentator. If she was to actually put her hairy arse in gear and bring up shit like that instead of beating up digital women, would you unironically watch her videos and such?
On a related note, what other examples of actual sexism in gaming can you think of? Those are literally the only two that cross my mind, and it's pretty much saying that the whole drama is stretched to breaking point.
Dutch Thread
It's been a long time since there was a Dutch thread…
Anyway: there has been an article about the developments within the game journalism in 2015. Of course an opinion piece for the other side of the story from Dutch GG cannot be excempt from this.
http://zachtekrachten.nl/zuurvee-positieve-ontwikkelingen-in-gamejournalistiek-in-2015/
Therefore, this thread is to get a collective message to send to the writer of the article.
Female Gamers discuss DoA Xtreme 3 not beeing localized
Thoughts on this? It shows how actual women that are gamers don't have a problem with these games and its just SJWs complaining about games that they don't care about. Causing everyone that is a real gamer to suffer because of them.
Gawker is rebranding itself as a politics site
Damage control intensifies -
Gawker to Retool as Politics Site'
>The change, which comes as part of a broad reorganization of the site’s parent company, Gawker Media, was announced in a memo to the staff on Tuesday. The site, wrote Gawker’s founder, Nick Denton, “will ride the circus of the 2016 campaign cycle, seizing the opportunity to reorient its editorial scope on political news, commentary and satire.”
>The shift comes after a controversy over the publication and subsequent retraction of an article this summer that led to the resignations of two top editors. The company will now focus on its seven core sites, which include the technology site Gizmodo and the sports site Deadspin, and close smaller offshoots like Defamer, a Hollywood site.
South Park - There is a War Coming
NEW YORK, November 16, 2015 – PC Principal‘s façade begins to crumble on an all-new episode of “South Park” titled “Sponsored Content” on Wednesday, November 18 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT on Comedy Central.
Jimmy is sent to the principal’s office for using an inappropriate word in the school paper. His integrity as a newsman runs head on into PC Principals ideology. Will Jimmy be the undoing of PC Principal?
It might be happening. South Park might talk about GG maybe even indirectly.
Document all the salt the SJWs will make. They may even be making some now.
Rise Of The Red Guard
American McGee nailed it.
https://tweetsave.com/americanmcgee/status/664227477674266624
>Origins
>The first students to call themselves "Red Guards" in China were a group of students at the Tsinghua University Middle School who were given the name Red Guards to sign two big-character posters issued on 25 May – 2 June 1966.[2] The students believed that the criticism of the play Hai Rui Dismissed from Office was a political issue and needed greater attention. The group of students, led by Zhang Chengzhi at Tsinghua University Middle School and Nie Yuanzi at Peking University, originally wrote the posters as a constructive criticism of Tsinghua University and Peking University's administration, which were accused of harboring "intellectual elitism" and "bourgeois" tendencies.[3] However, they were denounced as "counter-revolutionaries" and "radicals" by the school administration and fellow students, and were forced to secretly meet amongst the ruins of the Old Summer Palace. Nevertheless, Chairman Mao Zedong ordered that the manifesto of the Red Guards be broadcast on national radio and published in the People's Daily newspaper. This action gave the Red Guards political legitimacy, and student groups quickly began to appear across China.[4]
>Due to the factionalism already beginning to emerge in the Red Guard movement, Liu Shaoqi made the decision in early June 1966 to send in Communist Party of China (CPC) work teams.[2] These work groups were led by Zhang Chunqiao, head of China's Propaganda Department, and were the attempt by the Party to keep the movement under its control. Rival Red Guard groups led by the sons and daughters of cadres were formed by these work teams to deflect attacks away from those in positions of power towards bourgeois elements in society, mainly intellectuals.[4] In addition, these Party-backed rebel groups also attacked students with 'bad' class backgrounds (these included the children of former landlords and capitalists).[4] These actions were all attempts by the CPC to preserve the existing state government and apparatus.[2]
>Mao, concerned that these work teams were hindering the course of the Cultural Revolution, dispatched Chen Boda, Jiang Qing, Kang Sheng, and others to join the Red Guards and combat the work teams.[3] In July 1966, Mao ordered the removal of the remaining work teams (against the wishes of Liu Shaoqi) and condemned their 'fifty days of White Terror'.[5] The Red Guards were now free to organise without the restrictions of the Party and, within a few weeks, on the encouragement of Mao's supporters, Red Guard groups had appeared in almost every school in China.[6]
Acid Man's late night IRC chat
Acid spent all last night talking to some familiar IRC names for the first time. Thidran, Zan, S8tan, and Teridax are all a few of the names that appeared.
It's not nearly as bad as it sounds. Lots of enlightening details.
It's been copied into two pastebins by two different people.
There's about five hours worth of material but I think is all of his interaction in the chat.
Update on Fem Freq's Resident Sex Offender
We all know that Feminist Frequency hired a registered sex offender named Valis77. But LeoPirate, the same YouTuber who made a video investigating Nicholas Nyberg's infamous chat logs, has released a new video investigating Valis77.
Grab some popcorn, kick your feet up, and watch just some of the disturbing shit that's on FemFreq's payroll.
#AVoteAgainstSocJus
Idea for trolling:
Vote Trump – you non-conformist alt-righters were going to to spite normies anyway – write the above hashtag on a post-it or whatever next to it.
Take photo, up to failbook, twatter, instaham, wherever will get the most attenshuns.
If you feel like it, also write some cheesy, cringy shit like, "I don't know much about Trump, or politics in general, but I do know Trump pisses off SJWs, so consider this a middle finger to you repressive, regressive left-wing authoritarians."
That's it..

Dindu Chimpout in Londinistan
VIDEO: "Black Lives Matter Riots In London's Hyde Park"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNDVylJyhiA
Two people were stabbed including a police officer after riots broke out across 3 sections of London.
Major black violence erupted last Tuesday night in Hyde Park when a music festival turned into a riot. What started off as a water fight between two rival schools swelled to over 4000 people leading to Police setting up near Buckingham Palace to keep an eye on the event. By 9pm the Police attempted to move the crowd along but the mob refused and turned hostile. A small unit of vans were forced to flee a hail of glass bottles and rocks leading to police reinforcements with riot gear joining the scene. One police officer was stabbed and another was smashed over the head with a bottle. Two other members of the public were also stabbed with one being hunted down on the road in front of traffic. The attackers ran off soon after. During the ruckus, the crowd was heard chanting "Black Lives Matter!"
In another part of London, at Burgess Park, Southwark, two teenage boys were stabbed at a separate water fight and a nearby supermarket was raided by over 200 black youths. Police were also attacked when they shut down an illegal block party in Stamford Hill, Hackney.
As police attempted to maintain order and move the mob out from Hyde Park, a nearby McDonalds at Marble Arch was stormed. Staff suspected something was wrong when the lobby filled.
A McDonald’s worker said:
>“We were serving as normal and had a lot of people in the lobby. We didn’t want to close because we knew if we closed the door it would kick off and they’d force their way in.
>“The best thing for us to do was keep on serving one by one and keep them as calm as we could. But one of the guys jumped over the counter followed by three girls.
>“All the staff went to safety downstairs and locked themselves in. The kids went straight for the food but they weren’t even taking it away they were trying to trash the place.
>“They did whatever they could – they ruined the whole place. We were a little shaken up but everyone was safe and no-one was hurt.”
A terrified witness wrote on Facebook:
>'I can't believe what I witnessed in Marble Arch whilst passing by on the bus.
>'Young boys running around with large machete looking knifes, a whole leap of 16, 17, 18 year old girls & boys literally scattered everywhere, I was scared for all their lives.'
The aftermath will be costly and the Metropolitan Police has cancelled all leave for police officers fearing possible riots popping up later in the week and over the weekend. Police are currently looking for ringleaders that may have started the violence.

Vice Principals: the Newest Triggering Comedy from HBO
Basically Vice-Principals is a horribly racist show because it involves two white southern men that actively try and destroy the life of a black woman who was got the job they were feuding over.
And (in typical SJW fashion) the article opines that it would be a "far far better show" if they switched it from comedy to drama, made the black lady principal the hero, and the main male leads 100% villainous. Even though the show has her constantly foiling their plans, or that Goggins' character is pretty much closet gay, you can't have a black woman being targeted by white men because that's racist and triggering!
Goddess Nicole Love Thread
I have a confession to make, /gamergatehq/.
I masturbate furiously to Our Goddess Nicole.
I imagine doing all kinds of things to her. I imagine attracting her by playing on her love of Pokemon. I imagine conversing with her on the subject and laughing with her. Then I imagine hitting her over the head with a hammer and tying her up. I imagine tearing her clothes off and raping her in every orifice as she burbles autisticly in defiance. I imagine her screaming in shock, horror, and pain. Then I imagine making her my sex slave and keeping her in the basement for the rest of her life. I imagine squeezing her ample tits and ass, smacking her chubby cheeks, and pulling her luscious hair.
I do so love Our Goddess Nicole.
How could I find a way to get in contact with Our Goddess?

The pot calling the kettle nigger
So theverge just accused pewdiepie and some other of the vloggers who are a trillion times more influential to gamers than they ever were of taking Warner Bros' money to give good coverage of their games
Wow, the irony, are they still stupid? with the mountains of evidence there is their own collusion with gamerjounospro and several other similar pay-per-post scams do these idiots even realize they fucked themselves in the ass with this?
All it takes is pdp making ONE video with a FRACTION of the stuff in the GG wiki and these fuckers at vox are dead forever. With the kind of reach this swede guy has it will be impossible for these hipster fags to shut it down.

17 year old Geguri playing Zarya from Overwatch and alleged sorry state of gaming
"she said she could have done even better but she's been under a lot of stress over the past few days because of the accusations. She also wore a mask during her appearance on the stream to hide her identity, which all by itself is a tremendously sad comment on the state of videogaming."
Chalk does not appear to consider the possibility of stress might mean that someone could have caught a cold. It is common in asian nations to wear procedure masks to protect others from your germs.
Even if she was not sick, she might be worried about catching a cold due to lowered immune system from stress, since many people were in the place watching her and could have spread germs.

"Inven hosted a livestream of Geguri so she could further clear her name for those who still didn’t believe she wasn’t cheating. The site also noted that the reaction against her certainly seemed due to discrimination"
This is vague and does not specify if the Inven site claims specified age or gender or some other discrimination. It also does not link to its source for us to read, or say who on Inven said that.
Nor does it say the basis for assuming discrimination is the reason for the doubt of her skills.
I Fucking Love Science...as long as it agrees with my political POV
How the fuck is this absolute nonsense still showing up in my newsfeed? They actually link to a Gawker article explaining what GamerGate is.
"Although women now make up almost half of all video game players, the gaming community remains, in some ways, hostile toward women.
For example, the GamerGate controversy, which began in 2014 and involved a harassment campaign against prominent female gamers, journalists and designers, reflected a longstanding undercurrent of misogyny and sexism in the community. In some cases, those who challenged the sexism found themselves threatened with rape or death."
Nintendo goes SJW, link is male but "Gender Neutral"
Although Link is Male in the new game, the creators made him look adrogynous and "gender neutral" to appeal to more people.
“During the development of Twilight Princess, I went a different route and created a version of Link that was more masculine,” he said. “But after Twilight Princess I went back to the drawing board and decided Link should be a more gender-neutral character. Hence I created the version of Link that you see in Breath of the Wild. As far as gender goes, Link is definitely a male, but I wanted to create a character where anybody would be able to relate to the character. So that’s why I think the rumor went around that Link could be a female. Because maybe the users were able to relate in that way.” - Eiji Aonuma, series producer
I suspect the feminazis pressured Nintendo to do this.

George Takei criticises gay Sulu in new Star Trek film
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-36744328
> "I'm delighted that there's a gay character," said Takei, a strong supporter of LGBT rights.
> "Unfortunately, it's a twisting of Gene's creation, to which he put in so much thought. I think it's really unfortunate."
I'm fairly sure Takei has been criticised here before, but at least he seems to understand that rewriting established characters to make them token minorities is gay.
"CRASH OVERRIDE" memoir has changed publishers 90 days before release
From Simon & Schuster, a large relevant publisher who wrote her a fat advance check, down to PublicAffairs, a social studies/feminist publisher. Weirder still, they directly publish European globalist and generally reviled jew George Soros, their web front page points to The Economist, a weekly business publication basically owned directly by the Rothschilds. You can't make this shit up if you tried.
On a more mundane level, the reasons for switching publishers can be numerous and complicated. Here's a few plebbitor's takes of switching book publishers on non-related titles:
>It will depend on who owns the copyright. If they own it, the new publisher will have to buy the IP rights from them, which might make it difficult to first find a publisher who is interested. If you own the IP rights, and they don't have a contractual right of first refusal, then you can shop it around to anyone or self-publish it.
>My book contract has a non-competition clause to prevent me from publishing a similar work with a different publisher that would hurt their sales. But I have a termination clause once sales decline too low.
>But if they're not interested in the book, you could ask them to revert all rights to you.
Odds are preorders are so low/interest so bad despite the Amy Pascal movie deal, that Simon & Schuster are washing their hands of the whole affair and Chelsea is calling in jewish favors to make sure the book is published with a smaller on-demand run so it's less embarrassing when it releases and no one reads it publicly in all the right places.

#GamerGate Panel at Natsucon!
After speaking with the organizers of Natsucon in Collinsville, Illinois (just outside of Saint Louis), they have approved my GamerGate panel in it's entirety. Initially they were skeptical, but after seeing my panel at Arch Anime and the presentation I have planned, they fully supported the idea. I'll be running the panel with a co-panelist and while she is somewhat newer to the GamerGate discussion, she hopes to provide unique insight from a slightly more neutral perspective.
I don't have the exact date or time that the panel will be held, but it will be at some point during the weekend of July 22nd through July 24th. I will announced the exact date and time at a later date, once the official schedule is out. If anyone wants to show up, tickets are available for pretty modest prices and there is a military discount for service members. Pre-registration tickets are available at a lower price until the end of June, though you can also purchase badges at the door.

One of "SEALDs" head member attack anime and other stuffs with "Sexual violence" bullshit.
Basically he says anime and all right wing stuff is connected by sexual violence.
This is not exactly games related stuff.
But I think most of we knows anime is for japanese games what movies is for our western games.
Maybe we need to be careful about them. Just in case of something.
There are still nothing like femfreq in japan this does not mean there will be no femfreq-like group in Japan ever.

Media/Journos drop ethics and declare Hillary "winner" of Democratic primary
So Hillary just fucking launched her first nuke of the campaign: on the eve of the California primary, which if Sanders wins, would bring him to spitting distance of Hillary and effectively force her to a super-tight first vote ballot she may not win, Hillary had her media cronies outright call her the "winner" of the Democratic primary, via shady as shit math involving the super-delegates.
The backlash hit fast and furious, forcing some to amend things to make it "presumed" winner. But they are still pushing hard that Hillary has it won outright.
And why would they do that? They want to derail the California primary and basically scare off Sanders voters by way of tricking them into thinking their vote doesn't matter and that Hillary has "won" and that the primary is "over".
I'd say this reeks of the "Gamers Are Dead" article dropping scheme.
Game Sense Game Census
Hey everyone. We've officially launched the Game Census. It's awards and rankings based on your votes, reviews, and posts. There are several categories, and we're planning on adding more as more reviews keep coming in.
What is Game Sense?
Game Sense is a gamer review site that's designed to do more with reviews. It also aims to take reviews and posts and make them more readable, and more like a traditional gaming site as opposed to a traditional user review site. The goal is to allow gamers to create their own alternative media by writing reviews, posting, and voting. We have some neat ideas planned for the future to push the site closer to our vision, and those features will roll out the more Game Sense continues to grow.
How does it work?
We invented our own ranking algorithms that are far more flexible and powerful than typical up and down votes or generic 1 to 5 star rankings. It allows us to get more information out of reviews as well as to get much more meaningful scores and information. The math and algorithms have even been looked over by some well educated people, including a PhD in Physics, and they all got thumbs up.
What's the Game Census?
The Game Census is Game Sense using the advanced features it has to categorize games based on gamer input. It allows for categories to be created for game rankings. Currently, we have rankings set up for select platforms as well as for 2015 and $currentYear. More platforms will be added once they get reviews Game Sense isn't even three months old yet. So if you want to see a platform that doesn't have a Game Census added, just write some reviews and it'll manually be added.
Game Sense takes all your votes, posts, and reviews and calculates both score and ranking and determines where the game should be ranked.
Why?
Most of you suspect most gaming awards are rigged or games are chosen to win based on sketchy reasons. Game Census is completely transparent, you can directly see the reviews, posts, and votes of the winners and losers. So you instantly know why games are ranked or placed where they are. This is an award and ranking platform designed entirely around gamer input.
Older systems are opened up as well. One of the goals is to make sure that gamers not familiar with older gaming systems like NES, SNES, Genesis, etc have a database of which games are good and which are bad. The Game Census for the older platforms functions as a list of gamer recommended games. It's similar to those /v/ recommends graphics I see passed around, but it's interactive. The rankings depend on gamer input, and people interested in those games can go to the page for that game and get all the information they need.
How can I help choose winners and losers?
We know not everyone likes to write reviews. The easiest thing you can do is vote on existing reviews and use the star ratings. Those will affect scores, which then affect ranking in Game Censuses. You can also post things like good or bad music, glitches, good gameplay, etc. They are very similar to reviews, but they aren't entirely the same. They only require a small amount of text, and they do help with the score and ranking. Some posts, like posts for "good music" show up in the Good Music Channel and go into the playlist for good gaming music.
If you wanted to, you could go around and make posts for the best NES game music, and it would help. There's room for lots of people to help, even if they don't like writing reviews. We want to make sure Game Censuses are able to be used by as many people as possible, so a wide range of gamers have input on how the final rankings will stand.
The biggest help you can do is to write actual reviews. All games are open, and we'll add more Game Censuses once more reviews for interesting categories keep showing up.
If you are more interested in watching how it plays out, you can help raise awareness that the Game Census is happening by sharing links to Game Sense and by helping us reach more people on Twitter.
https://twitter.com/GameSensedotCo/status/741311387754893314
We'll be in and out of this thread to answer questions and take suggestions.
#ThankNatsu for refusing to censor GG panel
With caving to outside pressure by extremists becoming the norm these days, I think we should to show our support for those who refuse to cave and stand for free speech and the marketplace of ideas. If you want to let Natsucon know what you think of their refusal to ban the GamerGate panel, you can reach them on Twitter or via email.

Facebook follies
So we know Facebook got caught rigging their algorithm for their front page feed to suppress conservative leaning news stories and to shove Black Lives Matters and other SJW shit down peoples throats. They had to invite a bunch of conservative big wigs to their HQ for a photo op and to basically grovel for to get them to not press the issue further as they came up with a bullshit "there was no manipulating the feed to punish conservatives" response to the whole mess.
And now we have this, article:
http://modernliberals.com/open-letter-facebook-wtf-wrong/
Where you have a SJW thug bitch and crying that he's spent half the year being banned from Facebook for posting "assassinate trump" and other anti-Trump bullshit. And crying that Facebook is punishing people from cyberbullying conservatives who abuse the report button to ban Trump supporters/right wingers, from Facebook.
Is Facebook in a state of total schizophrenia? Are the conservatives at the company, who live in fear of being fired for not sharing Zuckerburg's SJW anti-white beliefs, using their position dealing with people who report other users, to fight back against Zuckerburg and the SJW agenda that is tainting Facebook? Or are Trump supporters getting a free pass for the sake of the illusion of impartiality, especially after Zuckerburg got caught shoving BLN down everyone's throat and rigging it so that conservative news pieces are never seen on Facebook?

Irrelevant Games Journalists trying to link E3, shooters to Orlando terrorist attack
It wasn't GG-related, until these fucks tried their hardest to make it related.
Hack writers, who it must be pointed out WERE NOT invited to E3 and are likely salty about that fact, are complaining about E3 presenters, publishers and developers not acknowledging the Muslim shooting of 100+ fags in a Florida gay bar the night before.
Same bad story, spreading to multiple outlets and thru twitter users, that publishers like EA should be ashamed of not making the attack a talking point in context to new shooting-based games they are releasing. This is not a legitimate point to make, and it has been proven over and over that shooting games do not cause shooting in real life. THE FUCKING MUSLIM KILLER HAD A BOMB VEST ON, AND DIED BEFORE HE COULD BLOW HIMSELF UP, GUNS ARE NOT THE FOCUS HERE PEOPLE!!!

This Bullshit
Y'know, it's bullshit like this that makes me bitter about what's happened to this point.
It's common fact, now, that Gamergate is a hate group, the likes of the Tea Party, the NRA, and ISIS. We're a toxic group ready to blame PC Culture for all of our so-called problems.
I could go on and on for this rant, but the gist of it is this: without any PR power giving proper representation, GG will always lose. Public opinion always gives creedence to whatever cause is out there, and sometimes goes on to change the situation for those crying out for help.
It's too late to do anything about it, now. The damage is done. People don't give a shit about any of this, and will passively beat down anyone saying otherwise to the narrative.
I know all of this. And yet, whenever I see this type of bullshit, I wanna do something about it. I wanna give it my all and show these fucking ignoramasus why they are so fucking wrong about what they think is true, and show them the TRUTH, the REAL TRUTH.
But I also know that it's no use. Much as I argue with these brain-dead shits, they won't listen. All my efforts will be null and void.
Sorry, I just had to vent somewhere. But seriously, how the fuck do you Leaders manage?
GamerGate Panel at Arch Anime
I have done some minor editing, mostly to clear up background noise (there is still a faint static that I couldn't get rid of) and amplify the volume at certain parts. At the beginning we had about 15 at the panel and when we ended it, we had about 13. Overall I think it went pretty well, even though I was a little nervous in the beginning. This is my first time running a controversial panel like this and I tried to present the main arguments that both sides make as best as I could, even if I didn't agree with the anti-GamerGate arguments. There were no issues with bomb threats, fire alarms or any social justice warriors trying to disrupt the panel.

HOGAN DROPPING A SECOND LEG DROP
>The New York Post reports that Hulk Hogan has filed another lawsuit against Gawker Media after the $140 million legal victory he received in the first suit. This time he’s suing over Gawker allegedly leaking sealed court documents to The National Enquirer which had him making racist remarks.
>The lawsuit states that after the racist comments leaked, Hogan’s “income was cut off, his legacy in entertainment was severely damaged (if not completely destroyed), and his global brand was forever tarnished.”
>Hogan claims that it was Gawker who sent the transcript, even though it was filed under seal as part of their lawsuit over a sex tape with Heather Clem (the wife of Bubba the Love Sponge). The lawsuit claimed that “Gawker had been threatening to release publicly for months.” Gawker CEO Nick Denton wrote a blog entry stating that Hogan’s “real secret” would be revealed around the same time as the Enquirer posted the information online. Minutes after the leak, Gawker editor AJ Daulerio tweeted to Hogan with “XOXOXO” and a link to the Enquirer after the article. Hogan later admitted he made the racist comments and apologized.
>Hogan is also suing several Florida residents, including DJ Mike “Cowhead” Calta, for sending at least one of his sex tapes to Gawker. Police decided not to file criminal charges against Calta and others. Gawker is currently appealing Hogan’s $140 million victory over the first sex tape and denied that it leaked the transcript to the tabloid. It’s unknown how much money Hogan is suing for.
SJWs come at Warhammer 40k
http://www.belloflostsouls.net/2016/06/on-maturity-40k-and-slaanesh.html
>Maturity is the ability to respond to the environment in an appropriate manner. This response is generally learned rather than instinctive. The outdated ideas about sex and sexuality – and they are outdated – that Slaanesh represents are simply not appropriate for the game any more. They’re not appropriate for younger gamers; they’re insulting to women, to trans and intersex people, as well as to any man whose sexuality extends beyond five quick pumps whilst thinking of England. The mature response would be to acknowledge this, and avoid the instinct to avoid change. Change terrifies people, especially members of the geek community, who loathe retcons with a passion that could eclipse suns.
>But, in my opinion, Slaanesh shouldn’t be part of things as they are. So how could we deal with this?
>Well, contrary to what you might think, I don’t actually believe we should Squat it. For better or worse, Slaanesh is a longstanding part of things, and it’s would be simply unfair to those gamers who’ve got Slaanesh armies. As well as this, 40K isn’t just a wargame any more; Fantasy Flight Games’ excellent lines of tabletop RPGs enable the discussion of some very mature themes, especially in more investigation-based games like ‘Dark Heresy’. A Slaanesh cult could be an intriguing way for an appropriately mature group of gamers to look at all kinds of ideas to do with the aforementioned sex, sexuality and other adult issues.
>So what to do? Well, in my opinion, the best solution would be to ‘retire’ Slaanesh as a GW-produced faction and make the army Forge World’s property. If you’ve not read any of FW’s books, I can attest that they have demonstrated time and again that they can do nuance. Not to mention, FW’s models are NOT targeted at children, but explicitly as adult collectors, meaning it’s possible to completely ignore that issue of inappropriateness. GW as a company can completely take advantage of this, having its cake and eating it, and they should. Obviously, this does nothing to overcome the inherent problems of sexist models, or the deeply embedded homophobic and transphobic imagery, but that’s something which can be looked at over time in Black Library books, Forge World supplements, and FFG RPG supplements.
>Slaanesh has already been replaced by the Horned Rat in AoS, which clearly shows it can be done in 40K too. To be honest, this is the ideal opportunity to do something exciting and new for Chaos players, giving them a whole new Chaos power to deal with. They could bring back Malal, or they could choose something else to fill the gap more naturally. Either way, it would be a step towards turning 40K into an actual, truly mature environment, and that can only be a good thing.

>Previously, we posted an update explaining that we had served notice of legal action to Calgary Comics and Entertainment Expo and to The Mary Sue.
>A few weeks ago, we received an interesting response regarding Calgary Comics and Entertainment Expo. It consisted of the claim that we had contacted the wrong person, followed by the argument that if the entity we contacted were the entity responsible for the Calgary Comics and Entertainment Expo, the Expo staff’s actions were valid.
"IS GAMERGATE TOO POWERFUL?"
Yes.

This salt nourishes and sustains me.

Allison Rapp Was a Hooker
Well holy shit. It looks like the rabbit hole goes deep. Rapp wasn't just selling cheesecake and defending pedos.
Rapp was/is a hooker.
Now, I personally don't have a problem with hookers or people going to see them. But SJWs are pretty sex negative and if they aren't anti sex worker, they're definitely anti sex worker client. Rapp's the kind of chick to deride neckbeards, then hit them up for a grand for a fuck.
And I don't think there's a children's toy company in the world who wants a hooker as their public face.
Seems this explains why people were so adamantly defending her. They were afraid the jig would go up.

>'Gamers' don't have to be your audience. 'Gamers' are over.
>I often say I’m a video game culture writer, but lately I don’t know exactly what that means. ‘Game culture’ as we know it is kind of embarrassing – it’s not even culture. It’s buying things, spackling over memes and in-jokes repeatedly, and it’s getting mad on the internet.

IT'S FINALLY OVER, STICKY THIS SHIT, ACID MAN
one Literally Who down, three to go
#OPLostWoods (working title) - E3 ruse cruise
I am aware of how many people seem to feel discontent of the lack of action and proactivity from GG lately; E3, however, is the absolute perfect situation to ensure efficient and easy progress.
HERE IS A LIST OF GOALS
Discussions and suggestions are obviously welcome
>INFORM
Every journalist, every outlet that is shared openly and receives attention online needs to be, both on their official accounts' messages (facebook, twitter, etc.) and in conversations, to be told about their wrongdoing.
Browse DeepFreeze regularly; keep information about the classic enemies like kotaku or polygon handy, find old youtube videos on the topic; share devs or studios' opinions on those outlets and the consequences of their lack of professionalism, if not don't hesitate to put them in your conversations on social media if they're publicly open about those matters.
>COUNTER
As soon as companies and games that have been open in their anti-consumer practices receive praise or positive attention, respond with immediate and clear criticism.
Bring back the old #TorrentialDownpour digs on Fire Emblem, Xenoblade, Bravely Default, Project Zero, etc, for anything Nintendo related (try to avoid pushing it during Zelda occurrences, or the Smash tourney if it happens again; lack of attention, and probably counter-productive as it'll alienate many people asking not to get their fanboyism ruined); anything EA related is easy and clear to find, and immediately incriminates journalistic outlets as well as they have so often participated in their hypocritical and corrupt methods to discredit gamers as a whole; if people like Rami Ismail or Tim Schafer ever get some screen-time, you obviously know what to do.
>GET TO HIGHER GROUND
Each year, outlets use whatever clickbaity topic to make themselves look more intelligent and open-minded than everyone else, obviously forgetting that it's supposed to be about games more than morals, and getting most of both wrong in the process.
Archive everything; screencaps with underlined stupid parts and an archive link added are a perfect way to make easily digestible and even perhaps fun content; mock, laugh and deride; remain positive and do not hesitate to compare the older, more enjoyable E3 times to today's, which are hyper-shilled, bland and predictable, complete cashgrabs and overall completely disinterested in making games anymore most of the time.
>BE COLLECTED
It remains a touchy time of the year, followed almost only by marketers and normalfags, so it's important to look relevant, efficient and clear to both as people with genuine knowledge and no animosity.
Only use verified info, so check before posting if you're unsure; reread your posts before putting them online and correct them if required; don't hesitate to contact friends and family on these topics (in a calm manner, if not detached way); never push too hard if people seem unwilling to discuss or seem too passionate on certain topics, as they are allowed to neither care nor hope to know : if they want to ask later, it'll be much more likely if you were friendly enough to give them some space; ever get angry or emotional, you'll look dumber than them, even if they're obviously wrong or dumb.
#Buttgate
Is @JHallComics a anti-GG? I found it on the Dorkly website today.

Peter Thiel and Hogan vs Gawker
>Gawker
>Press
Peter Thiel is taking it on the shins from every Gawker supporting outlet, including lefty shitrags. The attacks on him are now using arguments on proxy wars of money disregard Gawker being owned by a Russian and freedom of press.
Think they are attacking Thiel because he's a Trump supporter? Vox certainly thinks his support is more of a concern.
Surprisingly NYT has an ok piece, but is still concerned on press freedom
KIA is hoping for an AMA, with Thiel, but it's unlikely he will respond.
