"Yes, she might have raped puppies, but gamer gaters were the ones that altered the media!"

[benjipwns]

I had to look up what GamerGate started about. I thought it was those people getting free PS3's or whatever and bragging about it on twitter that the one UK writer lost his job over.

I still don't know why it's called Gamergate. At least all the other "-gates" identified the issue even if poorly.

The people behind this campaign initially referred to it as the "quinnspiracy", but adopted the Twitter hashtag "Gamergate" after it was coined by actor Adam Baldwin near the end of August.

The Gamergate situation is often considered to be a reaction to the changing cultural identity of the "gamer", the primary consumer audience for video games. The notion of a gamer identity emerged in the early years of the video game industry. The industry gave rise to publications specializing in video games and catering to the interests of a predominantly young male audience. These publications were seen by industry leaders as a means of promoting their products, and the close relationship between gaming journalists and major gaming companies drew criticism.[100][101] The growing popularity of games expanded their audience to include many who did not fit the traditional gamer stereotype. As games came to be seen as an art form, games with artistic and cultural themes grew in popularity, and the growth of independent video game development made these games more common

Though Newsweek reported that the FBI had a file regarding Gamergate, no arrests have been made nor charges filed

U.S. Representative Katherine Clark from Massachusetts wrote a letter to the House Appropriations Committee asking it to call on the Justice Department to crack down on the harassment of women on the internet, saying the campaign of intimidation associated with Gamergate had highlighted the problem.[134][135] Clark also hosted a Congressional briefing on March 15, 2015 along with the Congressional Victims' Rights Caucus to review issues of cyberstalking and online threats; during the briefing, Quinn spoke to her experience with Gamergate, which an executive director of the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence described during the hearing as "an online hate group [...] which was started by an ex-boyfriend to ruin [Quinn's] life".[136] On May 27, 2015 the United States House of Representatives formally supported Clark's request for increased measures to combat online abuse against women, explicitly pressing for more investigations and prosecutions by the Department of Justice.[137][138] On June 2, 2015, Rep. Clark introduced H.R. 2602, the "Prioritizing Online Threat Enforcement Act of 2015" to Congress.

Some Gamergate supporters contend that their actions are driven by concern for ethics in videogame journalism, arguing that the close relationships between journalists and developers provide evidence of an unethical conspiracy among reviewers to focus on progressive social issues,[4][10] leading to conflicts of interest.[142][143] As evidence of this, they point to what they consider as disproportionate praise that video game journalism has given broadly towards recent games such as Depression Quest and Gone Home, which offer little conventional gameplay, require minimal skill to complete, and relate stories with social implications, while traditional AAA titles are downplayed.

Many of Gamergate's claims have been rejected as ill-founded and unsupported. The Week, Vox, and Wired, among others, stated that discussions of gender equality, sexism and other social issues in game reviews present no ethical issue.

In mid-September 2014, Milo Yiannopoulos published leaked discussions from a mailing list for gaming journalists called GameJournoPros

ugh, everything in this is named terribly

in a speech for Women’s History Month, President of the United States Barack Obama said that "We know that women gamers face harassment and stalking and threats of violence from other players. When they speak out about their experiences, they’re attacked on Twitter and other social media outlets, even threatened in their homes."

I hope he saw this:

African American is such a weird distinction to make in general conversation, personally. I've never heard a white person call another white person a European American in conversation.

But you've heard white people refer to each other as Italian American, Irish American, etc. The only difference between that and "African American" is that black people don't know what country they're originally from. So in essence "Italian American" and "African American" are similar distinctions.

[mormapope]

That's why its weird to me. The distinction itself matters with self identification, but otherwise the distinction is so vague.

All that needed to be said was the digital sales paragraph.

That said:

Mobile phone sales are the dying gasp of an ailing, failing businesses. Circuit City and RadioShack turned from being specialty electronics retailers into cell phone sellers because it looks like easy money. The problem is, consumers can buy a cell phone anywhere, so it gives GameStop absolutely no competitive edge.

Oh wow. I never honestly noticed that until they pointed it out.

Zack Synder would be an amazing DP (director of photography). That cannot be denied, even if his films are flawed.

 

Director of Photography asks for a pretty precise skillset that includes some comprehension of optics, physics & chemistry (less so with film being phased out, but still) and a very up to date knowledge of the cameras being used at any given time as well as lights and projectors. There's some overlapping in a couple of areas (Some director do the framing for their shots, others leave that to their DoP) but 95% of directors absolutely could not become a DoP without training (and many could not regardless even with it). It's not just a matter of having good taste in lighting and a coherent vision for what image you want to achieve. Unless I am missing some widely known, way beyond average for a director, technical proficiency that Snyder would have... I can actually deny with some confidence he would make a great DoP at the drop of the hat.

Also

They should at least keep him for art direction and honestly some individual scenes.

He should not be allowed to touch the script or dialogue though

is pretty  too. Segregating art direction and writing is pretty much the contrary to what this job is all about. Or then you're a "production designer" and it is exactly the same point as for DoP : those jobs actually have experience and skillset requirements.

Or the post just after about putting him on second unit duty as if it was something that could happen.

Discussing this shit on GAF is fruitless. None of them know how to handle an actual non-iPhone camera, let alone the production rigs like RED, etc.

Also the "keep Snyder on board but just make him do pretty visuals" sounds like a hard backpedal from the Snyder cockworshipers in the lead-up to BvS's release. When it comes to Snyder, throw the fucking baby out with the bathwater. And then throw the bathtub out for good measure.
