Nichegamer on Cracked article

Professional journalists with communications degrees spent so long pouring over so much data and still couldn't figure it out?I guess this doesn't speak much for their education, since even a redneck south jersey bumpkin like me can easily fit the entire gist of Gamer Gate into just a couple sentences. After all, it's not that hard. Gamer Gate is about the questioning of the ethics and integrity of modern games journalists and exposing the myriad of connections between a small group of echo-chambered indie developers and their close friends who have conspired, for the past five years or so, to push a negative and hateful agenda within the gaming community that (among other things) attacked anyone outside their tiny clique, developer and gamer alike. They also, through secret (and often times illegal) collusion helped the others in their small clique push to the top of website's coverage lists and paid off others through monetary and sexual favors in order to receive preferential treatment from reviewers and article writers.

Because there is literally nothing else other than the misogyny. Nothing - it's all a flimsy cover for the raid. The "Fine Young Capitalists" controversy was purely a n invention that's why the character they created for their game has a 4chan logo in the girl's hair. It's purely intended to get people like you riled up, and help spread the word. They're using you, which is what they do d no, this isn't a few fringe bad people-''Gamergate" didn't exist before the Zoe Quinn thing, it was 100% born from that, and got 100% of its momentum from t. It was born from a bad person, and perpetuated by bad people. The MRA's and anti-feminists just used it to jump on board. Don't get sucked in because you ridiculous lie about how all care about is ethics The character Vivian James wears the 4chan logo because she was designed by 4chan. One of the rewards for donating money was that the donor could design a character for game. /vi donated over $23,000 to the Fine Young Capitalist's game am to encourage female developers. You make it sound as if TFYC is some shadowy front for 4chan. That's not the case The Fine Young Capitalists spoke out about harrassment from Zoe's clique, thought it was unfair, and so they helped support the game jam Yes, Gamergate was created in response to the Zoe Quinn scandal. The Secret Service was created to fight the creation of counterfeit money. To say that the modern Secret Service is only about counterfeit prevention would be false. The hashtag #GamerGate was actually coined by actor Adam Baldwin and was adopted because it shifted focus away from Quinn to focus on the real problem: ethics. If you visit , you'd see that the GamerGate people are actively encouraging this shift in focus. For every post suggesting an attack on Zoe, there are about five-six responses telling that person to "f--- off" and the post is reported within minutes Try looking up #notyourshield. These are gamers who support GamerGate. They are people of color, they are LGBTQ, they are of various religious beliefs. They are tired of so-called social justice warriors claiming to speak for them while ignoring their existence within the GamerGate movement.

Mass censorship

Recently you may have seen a tweet from@wikileaks about something called #GamerGate WikiLeaks WE OPEN GOVERNMENTS 236M More Follow WikiLeaks @wikileaks #GamerGateers should know that the pattern of censorship & cronyism they see is mirrored at the very top. Level up: twitter.com/wikileaks/stat.. 9:03 PM-15 Sep 2014 238 RETWEETS 173 FAVORITES What is GamerGate? GamerGate is a recent consumer revolt among gamers and enthusiasts who are against censorship, corruption, and cronyism in gaming journalism and certain aspects of indie culture The hashtag #GamerGate has been trending on twitter for about a month Why is this important to Wikileaks? Because it has been slandered in the media through various tabloid hit pieces as a "hate" movement via faulty evidence, cherry picking, and publishing articles marred by poor ethics, lack of fact checking, outright lying and yellow journalism This mirrors some of the same corruption practiced within larger media outlets and governments Futhermore, parties accused of corruption have abused the good will of those who consider themselves social justice advocates and feminists by hiding themselves behind the poltical banners of others and using minorities as shields. The hashtag #NotYourShield came about when an indie developer and supporter of GamerGate got tired of people speaking for him Parties involved in suppressing GamerGate have also been acused of abusing the Youtube DMCA claims system to silence descent, and through cronyism enganged in mass banning/ blocking of public discourse on multiple websites and platforms On August 31 a user on Reddit was shadowbanned" (a method of censoring a user wherein the user does not immediately know they are muted to the public) for "liking" a post related to GamerGate in wake of a mass censorship campaign by moderators. On September 15th the same user was “permitted" to ask Wikileaks founder Julian Assange this question in an AMA: - Shaskaotselot 79 points 2 hours ago How do you feel about the censorship on Reddit in wake of GamerGate? permalink save report give gold reply [-]-JulianAssange DulanAssange) [S] 138 points an hour ago It's pathetic. But censorship by companies controlling privatized political space is now almost a norm. Facebook is implementing its own "laws" for social behavior and politics. Even Twitter has now folded; censoring for example, leaks about the New Zealand prime minister just this weak and some time ago banning Anonymous Sweden after a request from that country. High volume publication +control of publication by powerful organisations = censorship, all the time, we have to fight to create new networks of freedom. The old and powerful always become corrupt. permalink save parent report give gold reply ︿ To learn more about GamerGate and have your voicee heard join the #GamerGate hashtag on twitter. And remember, no matter what you read about GamerGate always do your own fact checking, think critically, and be skeptical, because there sure aren't a whole lot of trustworthy journalists around lately.
