by next year there will be an option to have a trigger warning tag on posts before you click it.

This is an example of why I consider Ninthings the bottom of the barrel— first thing some of them come up with upon consumption of any type of media is "... But you know how it could be funnier? Pokeman/Mario."

A significant and encompassing preoccupation or obsession with one or two restricted topics, that is abnormal either in intensity, subject or focus.

Only to jerks who want to make the same argument about feminism with radfems, it's not the same, but it does come from the same fuckery, MRA types.

This just proves the threat has been real all along, why else would they call themselves Social Justice WARRIORS if they weren't intent on crushing innocents and wiping away gamer culture in conquest?

Boogie, speaking as someone who has found this whole ordeal emotional painful (it took me damn near two months to even be able to effectively discuss this with someone in real life without facing an anxiety attack), I feel like sharing.

This I disagree with, completely.

I started supporting #GamerGate because of the "Gamers are dead" articles. To me, Gamer is more than a label. It's a banner that people unite under, because of a love of videogames. It's the idea that differences in race, gender, social status, wealth, etc. faded into the background, because we were all just gamers.

Seeing those articles saying that gamers are dead, and that "now you babies have to accept women into your boys club" was incredibly frustrating, because it feels like no one understands what Gamer actually meant.

So I found like-minded people, who too thought Gamer was just an inclusive term we could unite under, and they fell under the tag #GamerGate. Any of the people I've talked to in the #gamergate tag have shared these views. Seeing people say things like the above just reignites that feeling of "what? No, you don't understand".

It's frustrating, and I think that's how boogie feels too. Being misrepresented is such an incredibly frustrating feeling. Being told that you ARE a misogynist when you were only joining a cause to fight back against the specific people who told you that what you believed in was wrong was such a massive shock to the system.

It still bugs me to hear it now, because that isn't why I, nor many people I know, joined #GamerGate. That's why many of those people have stuck with it for so long.

To be fair though, things have gotten incredibly gross. I stuck around for a week before I decided I didn't care what a bunch of websites I never visited thought of me or my ideals, and I kind of felt dumb for my knee-jerk reaction. I know a lot of people on the #GamerGate side who are coming to that realization slowly, and a lot of people who actually believe in the ethics stuff, are getting sick and tired of having the "movement" co-opted by political parties.

I've went back on twitter and tried to inform people essentially what Boogie's video was, that "if you don't agree with it, don't give it traffic", but people are struggling with that.

I also feel that's why Boogie is so strongly defending #GamerGate, because he feels the same way I did/do. Gamer actually MEANS something to us, and when you attacked it, we took up arms under a banner (misguided as it may be) and took a stand against that BS. He is / was sticking up for the people who are idealistic, (even naive, I guess) because he had the same reaction we did, and he doesn't want to see anyone get hurt.

People who are doing the harassment, and the ZQ stuff? Gross. Super super gross. I haven't actually witnessed anyone I know participating in harassment, but it's the internet and people can be whoever they want whenever they want, so I don't know for sure if they are / aren't active participants.

  You aren't boogie. Not defending me, not defending games, or even milo. The whole thing is utterly meaningless. Their concerns are trivial. Their passion misplaced. And the things they do make them the pariahs of the internet.

then my entire 7 year career on youtube is meaningless because all I've ever wanted to do was defend gamers, cry for inclusiviness in gaming, and integrity in the industry and how we treat its customers.

If you're right I really do hope someone kills me.

Wasn't it established there wasn't even shit to do with a bias or corruption in the Quinn debacle? I mean it started wrong, why keep going with it.

I mean, the fault is 100 percent with the journalist who allowed himself to form an inappropriate relationship with a game developer. He didn't review the one game she had made, but that's clearly a breach of some basic journalistic standards.

But.

1) It was Kotaku, which isn't exactly known for having any sort of journalistic standards any way
2) The amount of shit that spawned out of this is clearly tied to a woman cheating on her BF and neckbeards with relationship PTSD having flashbacks
3) The fact that this entire thing centers on Quinn, who as a developer had no such standards to uphold, and not the people who should have known how to act appropriately in a professional environment really kills the "This isn't about my hatred of women!!!!" argument dead.

Along with that frothing zealot krypt0nian, Nib95 is currently one of the worst Sony fanboys on Gaf.

Out of the games currently being championed by console warriors (Driveclub, Sunset Overdrive, Bayonetta 2), it will sell the worst.  At least it's likely a good game unlike the other two.

[thisismyusername]

Sunset Overdrive would be kinda successful if it was multiplatform. I think that has a potential market. But that may just be the art style and "feeling" the game gives off to me.
