It’s the free market no one told him to resign reads off talking points by lolberts
 
Seriously though, he could have just ignored it, it’s just a bunch of people on a subreddit complaining about him
 
@HJSDGCE  
The biggest gamergate news lately is that one guy plays bad at one game and decides to post a review about it and then everyone loses their shit because I fucking hate earth
 
Yeah this movement is pretty dead

You know, it always bothered me why many video game journalists suck at playing video games, you know the thing they’re supposed to review. Like, I would have expected to know basic controls of all genres (because controls are mostly the same) and have the reflex of a waiter in a diner during rush hour.
 
But nope! Instead, this is what we got. Yep.

They don’t have to be pro at it. Just be good enough that you can beat the tutorial without much problem. That’s the whole point of a tutorial. Teaching you how to play without killing you. You can die and lose, but only if you’re really incompetent or you’re just dicking around.
 
I expected this at the very least.

So I just watched a livestream and at the end they were asked who’d be the Seven Deadly Sins in Gaming Journalism?
 
Here’s what they came up with, lemmie know what you think:
 
Lust: Nathan Grayson  
Gluttony: Jim Sterling  
Greed: Grieg Miller  
Sloth: Collin Campbell  
Wrath: Ben Kuchera  
Envy: Matt Lees  
Pride Leigh Alexander.
 
They go into some detail why these people Shown here
 
I sure most see a few names and say “Yes. That makes sense.”

@Takashi.0  
You know I generally share you’re politics and positions, right?
 
So believe you me, as a former GGer, GG is kinda irrelevant now, especially in the face of a much larger Culture War and shit like Antifa.

I don’t think it’s irrelevant, I think it was the start of it.
 
Everywhere in different cultures from movies, card games to comics you have these type of controlling, thought policing ideologues that believe they’re the arbiters of morality in the media and if they say nay, then it should be banned indefinitely.

@Commune missed this last time I was here, odd, I thought GG was dead&buried on 8chan. I haven’t seen anybody mention it in well over a year. Or perhaps Laura’s goofiness woke up the herd and the /cow/s decided to begin an old-timey stampede. Wouldn’t be the first time some SJ infighting attracted notice off of twitter.
 
Though my favourite’s still all the other trannies in the clique getting jealous of Wu’s $13k patreon on Jan/feb 2015.  
That was the most amazing shitshow, had all the “drama names” aside from Laura K involved. Laurelai Bailey, Wu, Pixelgoth/Devi Ever, Chloe Sagal, too too much fun. (also in the process of looking it up it looks like Laurelai is fighting with some other one currently) I can’t get the link to work + ‘wildcard’ (*) so you’ll have to add it yourself  
total LOL btw looks like it went on longer than I remembered hoo boy, 3 straight months of that. Then on&off sniping over the next year or so including accusing each other of being in GG
 
Might take a bit of time to get to those entries though since arc doesn’t have a “last page” button. Odd oversight.  
I actually thought it was last year at first but then to see I remember it so fresh yet it was two years, mass LOL.  
Sign them all up for a reality show, please! More entertaining than anything out of hollywood in a decade.
 
@BadgingBadger Of course they could/should, it’s just one cranky old professor and his mop-topped stoolie. They’re pretty much non-entities to any serious players. If anything he’s being promoted by the DNC snotrags, since he’s been given the boot from pretty much every place responsible for his notoriety.
 
@Whatevs @HJSDGCE Any place that had relevant screencaps of Shadowrun SNES is unfortunately dead it seems, because the dwarf on there would’ve been perfect as a response.
 
@Takashi.0 Huh, the /v/s were right. It is the greatest vidya in all the land.  
Gamergate confirmed Half-life 3. Well played Gaben, well played.

@SeraphimDawn @Commune myeh, I never trusted it anyway. I’m surprised so many so-called righties do.  
I immediately recognised the wordplay.  
I feel like I’m turning into some sorta pseudo-90s-atheist here, I know more about the Torah than most jews, the same way they knew more about the bible than anyone in the entirety of the Moral Majority.  
…Heh, I may as well just convert even if I do hate fatty bland foods. I can even translate the writing in my head far better than I do with Japanese, even though that’s what I spend most of my time slogging through to fully enjoy SRW and other tactical RPGs that’ll never make it here. (fecking copyright lawls, can we expend some energy on upending that shit?)  
At any rate these ‘alternatives’ seem to keep making all the same mistakes on the design end as the ‘parent’ sites aside from the censorship (for now). Only one I found decent so far was Minds, though their claims of ‘security’ seem vastly exaggerated. By the nature of how they advertised themselves though, they seem to have roped in all the heavy stream-of-consciousness youtube thinker types, so it’ll start living up to its name sooner or later. Be funny to see it morph into an alternative to BigThink and other big promotional academic philosophy sites but for people that never went to college. That’s where I hope it winds up going anyway. I know Francisco Gil White and Donald Lett already packed their bags for there.
 
@HJSDGCE does this fucker even engrish  
what the hell was that sentence?
 
@Cyborg_pony No kidding, punks and eco-geeks got the worst of it first. I don’t know if these parasites have anything they latched onto before then, but as far back as the early 90s I was becoming familiar with this “mentality.” I still have my “Antifa is Anti-life” shirt from a Cocksparrer concert from way back when. The whole sXe bullshit they spawned is essentially the anti-thesis of Oi and hardcore. Everywhere they go they must immediately ‘ruin the scene’ for the original people. Then they can’t understand why the whole thing turns against them in the end, so run off and do it to someone else. Unfortunately if a movement is too far left, like environmentalism/animal rights, it seems it never truly recovers afterwards. All the orgs I had membership in like HSUS and Sierra Club have never returned to the way they used to be since the infiltration. (and as another sort of casualty to their mischief, it usually causes it to be impossible to form a similar field on the opposite end as it’s now associated by conditioning with ‘those types’)
 
@Cyborg_pony I think John Walker would make a pretty good Sloth towards both groups’ interests even. He’s always been heavily criticised amongst ghazi for not bringing the hammer down on “MissAngerist” (suspected by many of being Alice O’Connor) in the early days when the mass censor call went out. So he’s not even being a petty dictator properly as the others were.  
He even looks like a disheveled sleepless wreck. The kinda person that expends 80% of their energy doing absolutely nothing (possibly from paranoia) to seem really busy.  
Plus there’s the whole thing where ‘he’s the soccer mom’ of the marriage  
everything about him always screamed to me “life came at me too fast, fam!”  
Every bit the stereotype of the ‘henpecked house-husband’ on the verge of serious mental breakdown.
 
Also don’t forget Arthur Chu, he can fit any number of those! Like for wrath, don’t forget him agreeing with geordie tait ‘we need a gamergay lolocaust,’ sloth, well that’s obvious wtf has he done since Jeopardy? Other than (LUST) after goomba Zoe’s mushroomy ass. Envy, haha, who doesn’t someone that useless envy. Pride? Like he’d ever admit that. Greed, well, despite supposedly being against GG he kept constantly floating offers ala cernovich of ‘debate for payment.’ Gluttony, equally obvious. You’re batting at least 5/7 on a daily basis Chuchu roketto, keep it up! Easily my favourite lolcow, because unlike Flynt his insanity has so many layers to peel (and troll!)

@Cyborg_pony He technically is, just not a gaming one. For some reason Dailybeast lets him use them as his private blogspace.  
Found out during that GGinSF thing that, laughably, they’ve even given him a press pass.  
This ridiculous goofus actually represents a serious supposedly legit news tabloid when he goes out sometimes!
 
 
@Cyborg_pony  
I wish I could re-find it because there was a really good relevant thread on ghazi about how “reappropriation is problematic” that was a real doozy, with everyone head-nodding and agreeing the “lgbt get-along-with-everyone” tactics of the 90s like adopting “bitch” and “fag” were straight up deplorable and encouraging the growth of -ism.  
Was my first inkling that ‘the cult’ I grew up with had returned in force.  
They also brought up how “transphobic” To Wong Foo is…. and… I just  
THE WHOLE POINT OF THE MOVIE WAS THESE BIZARRO OUTSIDERS DID MEET THOSE “RACIST SEXIST REDNECK TRUMP VOTERS” AND THEY ALL ENDED UP GETTING ALONG FINE  
I really don’t know where the “drag is transphobic” nonsense came from or how it made them all miss the point so much.  
(on that note RuPaul has been dealing with some hardcore heavy shitting-on since that series debuted)

You know, Pewdiepie himself admited he fucked up, and he’s pretty reasonable about it. He says it himself: he’s a big deal on youtube, his actions carry a big weight, and what he does can be used to fuck up the whole goddamn site. Really, he comforts Jim’s points there, as much as we might not agree that the outrage is warranted.
 
It’s about choosing your battles, and here it could mean the end of gaming on youtube. Sucks, but that’s the reality of it.

@ArmadilloEater  
except not. since playing a game is considered a transformative process they cannot claim DMCA against people for it on youtube. Nevermind if they even TRY to they will start losing a SHITTON of money and the trust of gamers everywhere.

@Shirani  
The video is disingenuous though. It attacks Jim because he said Pewdiepie fuck up… and he did, Pewdiepie admits it.
 
Also the video attacks Jim on being silent about the DMCA… that’s a straight out lie. Jim did talk about the DMCA in his vid, he says “if Felix takes it to court, and loses, that will fuck up EVERYONE”. It’s not about who’s right, it’s about the consequences of what’s happening, Jim straight out says so in his vid. He’s not saying the DMCA is right, he’s saying it could fuck everything up.

Not checking sources and blindly bandwagoning against certain personalities is precisely why the Gamergate mouvement went to shit. If your side is as screechy and trigger happy than those you are trying to fight, wtf is the point.
