Games Journalists are the biggest bunch of cry babies I've ever seen. Jenn Frank voluntarily leaves her freelancing positions because she got called out for not disclosing her monetary payments to her sources? Boo, f------ hoo. Journalists like her aren't welcome in real journalism-the fact that she can't face the music of real journalistic ethics is hilarious Patreon isn't a conflict of interest? OK, WHATEVER. YOU SHOULD NEVER, EVER, PAY YOUR SOURCES. NEVER. I CAN'T BELIEVE ANY "JOURNALIST" IS STUPID ENOUGH TO BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN SEND SOMEONE MONEY EACH MONTH TO HELP THEM PAY RENT AND NOT SEE HOW THIS IS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST. You can be friend with them, you can have a drink with them, you can talk about the wife and kids with them all of that is fine and doesn't always need to be disclosed, BUT DONT F--- AND PAY THEM Kotaku won't write a story on TFYC because Greyson was involved in the story and they're afraid of harassment? Great backbone, Kotaku First off, in journalism, sometimes you have to write hard stories because IT'S YOUR F------ JOB. Did the New Republic Shy away from writing about Stephen Glass-one of their own who faked stories- immediately after his was discovered? No. They apologized, fired Glass, and wrote stories about it as a way to show how they were transparent and worked to regain their readers trust. Kotaku owes you this Scared of "harassment?" GET OUT OF JOURNALISM. If I write a story about the local college team and mention they might lose, I get a lot of emails and tweets that I'm wrong and how f------ stupid I am. ITS CALLED CRITICISM YOU F------ IDIOTS. You don't hide your head in the ground and go OH NO THIS IS TOO SCARY GUYS. DO YOUR F------ JOBS Anonymous 09/11/14(Thu)12:26:49 No.262876836 >>262877049 >>262877073>>262877118>>262877129 >>262877134 (You) >>262877178 v /sp/ journo here again One other thing. If I ever threatened my readers, or told them "I am a megaphone, I will end you," I would be F------ FIRED. When I get on Twitter or Facebook, I am an extension of my publication and my actions could very well define how people view everyone at my publication YOU DON'T TREAT READERS LIKE S---. READERS ARE THE REASON YOU ARE THERE AND IF YOU TREAT THEM LIKE S--- YOU DON'T DESERVE READERS You don't deserve respect if you treat your readership like s---. You don't deserve their good nature if you constantly treat them like s---. You don't deserve to be writing if you treat them like this THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN READER WRITER IS OF PARAMOUNT IMPORTANCE It's OK to disgree with your readers It's OK to argue with them, respectfully -after all, you are representing your publication It's OK to tell some that you no longer with to talk. BUT DON'T THREATEN THEM AND TRY TO SHAME THEM. IT DOESN'T HELP ANYONE AND FOR THE LOVE OF F------ GOD, USE MORE THAN ONE SOURCE IN A GOD DAMN STORY http://www.polygon.com/2014/8/2716075679/sarkeesian-driven-out-of-home-by-online-abuse-and-death-threats Oh, she was driven from her home? That's a big deal - surely the police would HAVE A F------ STATEMENT ON IT. Did you ask? No? Oh. Did you confirm with the police this happened? Oh, no? You just linked a tweet from a source and DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER TO CONFIRM IT? Is there an on-going investigation? This seems to happen pretty often with her. OH YOU DIDNT ASK. YOU JUST TOOK HER WORD AT FACE VALUE BECAUSE..WHY? It may have happened, but unless you actually confirm this, YOU COULD BE LIED TO BY THIS SOURCE AND YOU WILL LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT IF YOU'RE WRONG CONFIRM YOUR SOURCES AND USE MORE THAN ONE SOURCE IN A NEWS ARTICLE. THAT'S JOURNALISM 101 WHICH 18 YEAR OLDS WHO DON'T KNOW AP STYLE CAN DO WITHOUT ISSUE THE CODE OF JOURNALISM IS SEEK TRUTH AND REPORT IT. NOW GO F------ DO IT, YOU BLOGGING HACKS GOD. F------.

NOTHING HAS F------ CHANGED 10
Gamergate (harassment campaign) Article Talk From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For other uses, see Gamergate (disambiguation). Gamergate or GamerGate (GG)[¹] was a loosely organized misogynistic online harassment campaign and a right-wing backlash against feminism, diversity, and progressivism in video game culture. [2][³] It was conducted using the hashtag "#Gamergate" primarily in 2014 and 2015.[1][4][5][6] Beginning in August 2014, Gamergate targeted women in the video game industry, most notably feminist media critic Anita Sarkeesian and video game developers Zoë Quinn and Brianna Wu, among others.[7][8][9][10][11] The harassment campaign included doxing, r--- threats, and death threats.[12][13][14] Gamergate proponents ("Gamergaters") stated that they were a social movement, but lacked well-defined goals, a coherent message, and leaders, making Gamergate difficult to define.[15][16][17] Gamergaters claimed to promote ethics in video games journalism, claimed to be protecting the "gamer" identity, and opposed what they asserted as "political correctness" in video games.[18][19][20][21][22] Read Date Target Gamergate, online harassment campaign in 2014-15 that targeted women in the video game industry. The attacks were attributed largely to white male right-wing gamers who railed against the rise and influence of women and feminism in the industry. Gamergate served as a recruiting tool for the growing alt-right movement and helped spur the online “Pizzagate" conspiracy theory, which soon spawned the wider QAnon conspiracy movement. …………………………....…..……….….....

[2][36] Gamergate led figures both inside and outside the gaming industry to focus on methods of addressing online harassment, ways to minimize harm, and prevent similar events. [37] [38] [39] [40] Gamergate has been viewed as a contributor to the alt-right and other right- wing movements.[21][41] Video game developer Brianna Wu

X Journalists would make claims of people like Anita Sarkeesian "playing video games all her life" when she openly admitted many times she is not a gamer and only starter recently (when it wasn't for an interview). Various developers trading sex or money for good reviews got exposed, journalists who accepted got exposed. People became a bit more critical about supporting a game just because the developer has a victim complex stating tat their game could have only failed because of sexism, instead of their own poor developing skills. What really sealed the deal was opposition often faking their own harassment. Anita sarkeesian and Zoe Quinn have been caught multiple times screenshotting "harassment" while showing that the harrasser's account name in the login. Or when someone called the police to help Sarkeesian against a "very real threat" she was posting about, only for police to find the harasser's messages were coming from her IP address. I just want honesty from the community, and the lies were mostly exposed by the "dreaded" gamergate. 1.3K views • View upvotes 26
