the other day i saw a very convincing long-form multi-step jpg diagram of how anita sarkeesian was never harassed out of her home and that milo dude's reportage was strongly relied upon.

We need to find some way to etch those jpgs on to plexiglass, or future generations will never understand what this is about.

You could seriously get a poll's worth of options of, what is the dumbest recurrent line used by shithead gamers with regard to Gamergate, I am leaning towards "...and she has never addressed the VERY SERIOUS objections made to the ACCURACY of her BULLSHIT VIDEOS which spew LIES" although the old goldie where letting it be known that you're being criminally harassed is a classic PLOY to get ATTENTION for your AGENDA. Sigh. I mustn't read the comments, I mustn't read the comments...

For his professional work he's @Nero but when he wants to get personal he uses @Caligula.

first line: "The video game community is perhaps the most inclusive, gender neutral and colourblind on the internet."

only way this really measures up is if they find out that eurogamer's "gamer community correspondent" who was supposedly sympathetic to the 'gamers' was participating on this list

Brietbart and Gamergaters is such a natural alliance, excited for Jim Hoft's future involvement
― anonanon, Wednesday, 17 September 2014 21:06 (nine years ago) link
so the angle is that anyone who was not actively defaming zoe quinn was "supporting" her, awesome
― ⌘-B (mh), Wednesday, 17 September 2014 21:07 (nine years ago) link
I really don't think "like-minded journalists have a mailing list" is scandal-worthy
This is rather blatantly "our side got caught out in IRC chats so let's rail on something innocuous and make soft-thinking people believe they're the same thing #gamergate #btwiamafuckstick"

Apart from anything else, this will inflate the egos of the GGs who can be convinced that this thing they're involved in is actually something important, like the talk that's been going around of calling in the FBI to investigate Anita Sarkeesian under RICO, because they heard of RICO once.

off-topic kinda, but this story is pretty great and tangentially relates to abuse of RICO charges

did any post the video where the #gamergate dude lost his shit at weird twitter ppl?

I hope GamerGate lasts forever. I hope there's some unrecognizable descendant of it still trending a year from now.

Now that I think about it, I wonder if this is going to end up with this bullshit crossing over into the other bullshit that is politics - I can kind of imagine Rick Perry going for this (I can definitely imagine Herman Cain going for it).

I recently discovered that music journalists have been colluding on a message board

yeah i wonder if the real effect of this won't be conservative media outlets setting up game zones

so exciting to see the boy nero back in the game. his own journalistic ethics didn't extend to paying people who wrote for his shitty online mag last year http://maxdunbar.wordpress.com/2013/01/09/milo-yiannopoulous-and-the-kernel/
― oppet, Wednesday, 17 September 2014 22:10 (nine years ago) link
hilarious the disparity betweem the degree to which the 4channers were actually and specifically and consciously and maliciously conspiring to defame zoe quinn et al and ruin their careers and break the law in doing so, and the piddling degree to which the games journalists were conspiring to do, well, anything really. i mean, i know this is obvious. there seems a much clearer comparison between the #gamergaters and that terrible breitbart spawn who took down Acorn and did all that crepey stuff with that girl, than games journalists and journolist. but there's little value in pointing that out when wingers see nothing wrong in what the bleepblorper got up to.

I am a member of the game writers google group. 70% of the emails are about sharing PR contact info, asking for help when stumped on pre-release review games or setting up online sessions for those review games. The other 30% are about cats or pro wrestling. It's incredibly boring, which is why I only subscribe to the digest now.
