What happened was King of Pol got his hands on a Skype log from some ‘secret’ gg skype group. In the log where some ideas how to target RogueStar as some people don’t agree with his methods. Pol didn’t like that one bit and went after Mundane Matt, one of the persons who was in that skype group on his stream.
Mundane Matt and RogueStar had beef about this very same issue in the past but it got squashed by Sargon. So later after Pol’s stream, now in Sargon’s stream (See Sargon as the farakhan of gg squashing beef left and right) We have Mundane Matt and RogueStar saying everything is good, no hard feelings, etc.
While this is in process Pol jumps in the stream starting spilling spaghetti and regurgitating. People in the stream told Pol to drop it which he kinda did. That’s about it really. Lot’s of unnecessary drama but no hostile takeovers.
Pol takes a backseat, no longer using the gg tag. Even tho he fucked up the harassment against him is uncalled for. (Just to make it clear again, all harassment is uncalled for. We’re anti-corruption, anti-harassment) Pol has done a good job getting different forces together at the start of this. We should remember that.
As for the harassment patrol. It’s still here. Some people have been vocal against it from day one, it’s not their call. The only people who can call it quits are the people doing the patrolling.
Also don’t go around and call people white supremacist if you’re not sure.

I should really stop reading this shit but I read a post on their subreddit that literally argued that rape jokes aren't as bad as Mattie Brice's joke, because rape jokes aren't intended to cause harm, unlike Brice's joke.

It really is the most astonishing rushing towards the image of gamers as people who have ~issues with a sense of humour~. Which is kind of the essence of conspiracy theory, that nothing The Accused ever says can have a light or joking meaning, it is all Evidence.

totalbiscuit, who has been pretty visible on the gg thing i suppose, is the archetype of the essentially-conservative brit gamer youtube celeb who is basically attempting to be a bad xerox of jeremy clarkson. i can't stand him, and he sounds like he must be an awful person to be in a room with.

as someone who seldom watches the big gamer youtubes I'd been cheerily imagining GG was mostly not British because uh tea-party crossover I guess. when I do watch gaming youtubes they're mainly randomly selected retro-ish Let's Plays and I never have any idea whether the player is a ~noted figure~ in the gaming youtube world or just some guy
so I was surprised to hear S4rg0n's unedited interview he did w/the BBC: he had an accent and arguing technique* I can only describe as "public school debating society", which combined with reading the GG manifesto thing upthread ("we are just some poor maligned gamers being even-handedly inclusive of oppressed minorities such as men and big-budget 3D shooty games and defending our basic human right never to be reminded of the existence of any other sort of gamer or game") to make me very angry until this thread restored the lols
* harping on abt one question-avoiding point for 15 minutes, in this case GG's charming new tactic of "GG is about ethics in games journalism, therefore any attacks on people who aren't games journalists are by definition nothing to do with GG". the Beeb interviewer came across pretty badly too: mumbly and unprepared. the whole thing is really painful and I do not recommend anyone seek it out, unless maybe you have dangerously low blood pressure, in which case drinking a gallon of salty coffee might be a better option
