But seriously, its 2019, why the fuck are people on Era still so obsessed with fucking gamergate?
There's gotta be a term for something bigger than caravans.Something akin to Israelites fleeing Egypt during the Exodus. Whole nations trying desperately to get away from oppressors to safety. That's the current state of RE.
Fuck Israel.

QuoteUser Banned (Permanent): Downplaying the impact of a hate movement. History of severe infractions.This forum is so laughable in the myriad of ways it'll go to try and pin all of society's evils on what was largely an irrelevant and short-lived moment that was almost five years ago. Seriously, get over it. There are real problems out there that need to be addressed that have nothing to do with the GamerGate boogeyman.

We won't know the true fallout from Gamergate for decades.
They should more accurately word it "please don't dismiss the impact Ronda Rousey's facial features in MK11 has" because, well, that's exactly the premise for the thread.Ronda Rousey is a genuinely terrible person with terrible views, but people ate her shit up, even at GAF/ResetERA. Someone would go "those comments are pretty shitty" or "wow she seems to lack basic fundamentals so I doubt she'd be able to take on a Mayweather”, but those concerns would be dogpiled and people would champion her. It wasn't until she spectacularly lost to Nunes that people started paying attention and dropped her as a feminist icon, ironically a rather shitty reason that also lead to the decline of popular interest in female MMA.Corporations also only ever push on celebrities for money, attention, and personality. They could give a shit about propagating her views, it's merely a cynical decision with very little actual desire to have said person in. Same thing goes for Pepsi, Gillette, and all the other "brave" companies who try doing this shit. But of course, cynical takes are often shat on, so the reality is that ERA remains a slightly tinged version of whatever crowd WB goes for. They largely will buy into the same cynical bullshit whether it be from MCU, Star Wars, Ghostbusters etc. to the point where they're so bought that even calling a movie shit or accusing a corporation is "suspect".The highly sexist industry that is convenience razor blades w/ handles makes a woke AD despite, and despite being developed by marketing heads/CEOs who largely propagated sexism as a means of operating their business (and continue to rely on such tactics), will have jabroni marks buying some shitty ass $10 razor at Publix with pride, and may even continue to repeat their business as the next "BUY OUR NEW MANLY RAZOR WITH TECHNOLOGY DESIGNED EXCLUSIVELY FOR MALE HAIR FOLLICLES" AD goes up on the next issue of Sports Illustrated. /TedTalk

I have an apropos word for those guys, it rhymes with "flags".
It's all true, I got Trump elected and I'm not even American. I think that makes me a foreign agitator or something like that. Hopefully congress will investigate me soon.
Were you able to pass along my message about Doug TenNapel, Bananas?
The Earthworm Jim guy, he's rubbing shoulders with Internet Bloodsports personalities. Prime outrage bait for ResetEra.
If purplegaf really wanted to be honest about the precursor of gamergate, they'd remember this thread which existed solely to mock the shit-tier journalistic integrity of the enthusiast press and many names you will still recognise from era posted within it.Or perhaps it was even earlier than that, when the 'real press' guy exposed what he got as a swag bag from MS, where the enthusiast press who also all received free Xboxes and cat helmets didn't say shit to anyone because they were so accustomed to their little publisher freebies it didn't even cross their minds that a thing called conflict of interest exists.Or earlier than that, the known fanboy journos ascending from press shills to actual pr shills at their favorite companies, and maybe ending up with important positions on actual dev teams for their favorite games luke smith frank o'connor.but nah, we've always been at war with eurasia.
This isn't about who they are or aren't. This isn't about de-legitimizing anyone. Accepting it and letting it go is not a real solution. Fight sports is about equals fighting each other using different styles. Being a transgender (specifically, men transitioning to women) ruins the legitimacy of womens divisions.A woman can transition to a man and fight men, because they don't gain an advantage over the men by doing so.A man cannot transition to a woman, and then fight woman, because they gain an advantage by doing so.It's as simple as that.

They really think a biological male body has no strength, size or bone mass advantages over a biological female one?How delusional
QuoteNever really thought about it, definitely a double standard. If a guy hit a girl on the other hand, he would literally be surrounded. That kinda shit didn't fly.There's a difference between getting hit by a bicycle and getting hit by a truck.

There are no conspiracies in this world and everything is out in the open. There was not a shadowy hand behind Gamergate, Gamergate was just a reflection of the morals and beliefs of the people who flocked to it. Those happen to be similar to the Alt-right at large.I sort of side-eye everyone who thinks this way because it smacks of growing up in a sheltered bubble.
You can trace the Trump presidency and the resurgence of neo-Nazism back to two people: Eron Gonji (AKA Zoë Quinn's shitty, petulant ex-) and Norwegian terrorist/WoW fanatic Anders Breivik.It's gamers all the way down.
This idea is way too appealing to you filler.

Sorry, I just assumed you played video games.
Stinkles is going full conspiracy in the Buzzfeed Mueller thread nowwww.twitter.com/buzzfeednews/status/1086419880025284608QuoteOne of but not 100% but the important thing here is "accurate characterization" and more importantly that they need to put some sort of armor atop this item.I think Giuliani leaked the WSJ Cohen thing to distract from the buzzfeed thing and I suspect the impending buzzfeed thing is spiritually true. This comment from Mueller should be taken as a very bad portent for Trump rather than a rebuke of buzzfeed.This means Mueller has established a rollout and constitutional plan.wow if spiritually true

One of the other things that still doesn't sit right was the FBI not bringing charges related to the threats coming from those associated with gamergate. Considering the severity of the threats and the obvious political presence it does create a sense there may have been pressure on the investigation to not bring forward charges.As charges would interfere with gamergate as a means to funnel support for Trump.
Mistakes in reporting is not fake news. Fake news is the deliberate act of dishonestly passing along false information.
You know that there is journalistic standards? That there is a reason why reporters don’t go “fuck you Trump” when asking him a question?
QuoteSo this guy you are replying to is what, a big Republican or a Russian?A senator possibly? 8 ball reads: Could be spiritually true

As I said in the other thread, this will be a milestone moment in journalism depending on how this pans out.

As a non-American I can't deny that part of me would find it absolutely hilarious if the Mueller report turns out to be a huge nothingburger.
Well fuck. I was gonna binge clips of today's coverage tonight. Guess I'll just play FTL.
Frankly, even if the characterization had inaccuracies, I wish Mueller's team would have just shut the fuck up. Comey fucked up by talking too much about and sharing too much about the Clinton e-mail investigation, which turned out to be nothing. Mueller remains absolutely tight lipped until now? Over this? Making me question just how competent he actually is and whether or not he has run an investigation that will result in anything meaningful aside from the convictions we've already seen.
