Gamergate

Was Gamergate REALLY that big of a thing?

I never paid much attention to it at the time because feminism was already such a stale topic

My theory was the initial drama that sparked GG was planted. It was big deep state psyop. Ted Danson was the ring leader

Yes.

Sup Forums cared a lot. they flooded into Sup Forums for you all to red-pill. the left helped Sup Forums a lot.

yes.

it started everything

What is gamergate?

It wasn't about feminism. It was about whores pretending to be developers sleeping with reporters to get positive coverage and praise for their shitty indie non-games. This led to a general displeasure among gamers with how video game journalism is done, with sites blatantly shilling for bad games and everyone buying and bribing their way to good reviews and articles. AAA games were a lost cause, but it was more about trying to keep the indie scene a bit more honest, but as usual the lefties who were ruining everything simply called these angry gamers racist and sexist and all their reasonable complaints were ignored and nothing changed.

And eventually we started realizing that not just games journalism was fake, all of it was

>Was Gamergate REALLY that big of a thing?
Maybe. But it was confined to the USA. People around here never heard of that crapfest. So...

>GG was planted
this burger is most likely right. Any other "local" story this big would have made international news. But somehow news agencies did not distribute this shit outside the USA.

Inside gaming, and in particular on Sup Forums, it was a very big thing. It had all the makings of a perfect juicy scandal.

>jilted ex-boyfriend
>skank woman that cheated with 5 guys
>game journalists sleeping with developers and then giving them positive reviews
>entire journalist email-rings and groupthink networks exposed
>entire network of journalism/SJW developer collusion uncovered
>angry leftist developers and journalists blame the entire problem on the consumers
>media and indie developers push "only misogynists hate extreme leftist propaganda"
>massive collusion to push that "gamers are dead"
>the most effective unmasking and rejection of leftist subversion of an industry ever to occur
>Sup Forums mods part of the collusion/corruption
>censor/ban people from even talking about it
>same thing happens on reddit
>Sjws try to "shut it down"
>backfires immensely

And just like that, the left overreached and converted millions of young video game players into right wingers because they were too heavy handed when they fucked with their video games. All they wanted was to turn Video Games into another filthy leftist stronghold like Hollywood or Academia, and they would have succeeded if only they went slower and made their efforts more oblique. Thankfully, leftists don't understand restraint or self-control.

>game journalists
This shit still cracks me up. "Game journalist" :DDD

Am I the only one who remembers GamerGate as being about corruption in video game journalism? Why the fuck did you niggers have to make it about feminism? Why did you thrust a couple of whiny literal whos into the limelight and basically launch their careers for them?

A 'high moraled' prominent feminist activist and strong female video game designer, was outed by her bf as a serial abuser, cheater and liar; And (for bonus points) the guys she had been fucking on the side were giving her favors such as good reviews and high scores for her games.... aaaaand they're actually beyond shit. Pointless self indulgent steaming piles of turds that No one outside her feminist circles would or could ever play. Seriously bad.. not even funny bad.

Aaaanyway, the sjw feminist army decided that, due to her gender, she was actually the victim and that anyone criticizing her needed to be hounded out if their jobs and Have their lives ruined because..... MEN.. and MYSOGINY

basically it was a giant refill wake-up for the tech community, and an embarrassing expose of a weird ideology that by definition can do no wrong, ever.. because even if they do bad things, It's still men and societies fault.

>Why the fuck did you niggers have to make it about feminism?
>implying this wasn't a controlled shift in public attention to see if millenials are already ripe for phase 3.

Exactly. Everyone knows these people are just PR whores for the big publishers with barely a highschool education. But that's how they so easily planted their cronies all throughout the network of "review sites" like ign/kotaku/etc. Because there was no standards or accountability in such an unprofessional environment, despite the huge profits affected.

Gamergate is what proved to me that white people, by and large, are retarded. It took something like Gamergate to make these stupid fucking nigger tiered morons to realize media is trying to subvert their thoughts.

>Why did you thrust a couple of whiny literal whos into the limelight and basically launch their careers for them?

believe me, there were some of us who were suggesting that maybe we should back off on Anita that attention is what she wanted and as frustratingly bullshit as some of the stuff she was saying was and as much as we wanted to prove her wrong or at least show our side of the argument silence on our part would have been better. we definitely should have been louder (ironic lol) for our calls for ignoring Anita's shenanigans.

pre-GG me would have been a lot more open to the media's words about Trump.

Since I know this board is stalked by media more and more these days I just want the people who work at Polygon, Kotaku, etc. to read & follow these instructions:
look in your mirror
now say the following, "I am part of the reason why Donald Trump is President."

enjoy your lives. :)

>I never paid much attention to it at the time because feminism was already such a stale topic
Congratulations, you fell for (((their))) scheme.

GG was never about feminism. Sure, a slut slutted around for positive reviews, but people were more upset that the reviewers had gone along with it. To cover up their own unethical practices, multiple outlets started making coordinated attacks, falsely portraying it as being about gurrl developers and evil misogynist gamers. Then came the professional victims and the politicization. Then came the censorship. Caught unawares, the movement sputtered and died.

Fast forward to the 2016 election and all those spurned gamers saw the exact same bullshit being carried out on a much broader scale, only now they knew the game they were playing and playing games with autistic efficiency is kind of their whole thing.

Of course, the irony is that gamers really didn't give two shits about politics until the Left started messing with gaming. GG was basically the Pearl Harbor of the culture war. Thanks, Zoey!

Me before Gamergate:

"Yeah, I think that game's devs had those reviews bought and paid for..."

"WHERE'S YUR PROOF"

"It was a shit game. There's no way it was a 9 or 10 like all the journalists are saying."

"WOW SO THAT'S YOUR PROOF HUH? MAYBE IT'S JUST YOUR OPINION. MAYBE EVERYONE LOVES IT AND YOU DON'T."

"Nah, it's a really game. There's no way so many journalists thought it was that good. Devs paid for that game to get shilled."

"WOW OK. YEAH, AND I'M SURE 9-11 WAS AN INSIDE JOB, RIGHT??? EVERYTHING IS JUST A FUCKING CONSPIRACY RIGHT?"

It's just fucking intuition. It looks like shit, it smells like shit, and it tastes like shit. It must be shit. Yet these journalists are tripping over themselves to praise it like it was file mignon. Yeah... no, I mean I get "opinions" and all that, but when something is pure shit and it's getting shilled this hard, something is fucking up. There's corruption here.

At least you niggers woke up.

>TRUTH

good boy points for you hippie scum

Gamergate started off small ball with the story about the woman sleeping around and her getting benefits for it. It didn't become a thing until moderators started banning threads about it all over the internet. That's when it pulled in a lot of people who didn't give a shit initially. It didn't become about gamers hating feminists naturally that was something big media came up with and ran with. It became a thing where people saw how the system works and how "opinions" are devised.

It was huge

normies ignored it because even the canadian shitshow news stations also maligned GamerGate and reported the "harassment" of that Sark whore and round purple "programmer" as fact

I unironically believe that gamergate led to the conservative counter culture of present. God bless it for happening the way it did.

Huge deal.
Forecasted Donald Trump's election really. I consider it the beginning of the end for the fake journalists.

It got a massive amount of weaponized autism off of videogames and onto investigating media.

that's where it all started user

>Why the fuck did you niggers have to make it about feminism
That was like 1/100 people pushing that shit. But that's so many that it didn't matter how restrained everyone else was

It was and it wasnt. It was a test run to see how 'people' would react to social justice and identity politics as ideologies. I can only assume that as a test run; gamers were targeted specifically because they would likely be both the worst and hardest offenders given common internet culture. At least, at the time. Ironically when your demographic also consists of 10 year-old shit-posters (literally and unironically) then you're obviously destined to fail.

One of the main things I think that gets taken out of context about the whole thing. How did people honestly respect aspies / autists / children / man-children to respond? Now that the dust is settled; its almost as if the SJW crowd was actually attacking their own worst-afflicted.

Bump

It was basically leftists being morons and redpilling a huge fucking section of their former consumer base on themselves. If GG hadn't happened, absolutely nothing involving the anti-MSM atmosphere of today would have gone nearly as far as it has.

It was huge for a couple of months, but ultimately cucked itself trying to appease its enemies and died out. There's still a general on 8/v/, but it's a total circlejerk. Could have done more, but definitely served its purpose ultimately. The social justice crowd still isn't over it, it's like fucking 'nam to them. The first time anyone ever fought back. Whenever there's any organized campaign against their lunacy these days, you can be sure a couple hundred numales are blaming GamerGate for it on twitter.

Succinctly stated, my fellows! Honestly, I wouldn't be here if it weren't for that skank. Too bad moot was kill over the ordeal, though.

We then followed the trail and it lead to the entire media not just game journos.

Look back historically.

Gamergate was where the Hornets nest was first pelleted with rocks and sticks. The reason the Right Wing and True Liberal weaponized was because of it.

If you look at cause and effect, if GG never happend.. Hillary would have won the election. When the far left pushes, the far right pushes back.

If it wasn't for zoe fucking 5 guys for the sake of her game than we would under crypto neo-con international criminal rule.

Gamergate redpilled normies. It was good.

The left created its worst enemy.

Is Zoe aware? Has she even considered this?

Gamergate was the primary reason as to why so many gamers got redpilled on how corrupt the media and entertainment industries truly are. It was also the main reason as to why so many of the once-good/great boards on this site turned to festering cancer. Sup Forums was hit the hardest by it, since they were actively participating in it and trying to uncover stuff on it, and just as things seemed to be going well, the mods went full "SHUT IT DOWN" mode, and censored all discussion on the topic, opening the floodgates for the tide of Redditors and normals who would then proceed to kill Sup Forums and then spread to the rest of the sight. This is also one of the main reasons /tg/ met it's end, since their interests overlapped somewhat with Sup Forums's, which allowed the Redditors to slip in and start to corrode everything as they usually do, eventually leading to the removal of Quests, one of the cornerstones of /tg/, which then led to it becoming the septic cesspool it now is. Other boards where similarly affected by this, but not quite to the same extent as those two.

you idiot
they caught on to the whole false flag shit on 8 chin

Then all that swatting shit began

It has been brought up to her probably. It doesn't matter though.

If you want to generalize. Back in WW1 white people where being fuck with. And they where shut down by more powerful forces.

WW2 is the second that happened and Russia/US managed to shut it down. US was ZOG inspired, Russia was Marxist Jew inspired.

Now we are in current year meme. They are now fucking with the people of the most powerful country, and it managed to get the crazy guy who talks before he thinks.

The neo-left fucked up, the marxist jews fucked up, the ZOG fucked up.

The trump candidacy is the most important 8 years in US history. If they kill him the people will revolt, if they let him run his course they will be shattered ane everything will unfold.

The damage control is at a all time high.

But if Zoe quinn never fucked 5 guys and then lied, and anita didn't shill for her.

We would all be lost.

Gamergate is directly responsible for me turning from a leftie socialist immigrant-wanting Greens voter into a conservative immigrant-hating white nationalist.

Gamergate was the first time I realised the media was so completely corrupt - to the core - that they lie and scheme and try and sway opinion. Not just games journalism, but all journalism.

I don't give a shit about the whores at the centre of it all. But I was so pissed when games journalists turned on me, threw me to the wolves, accused me of being a sexist bigot nazi whatever.

I just wanted to play video games. But if I'm going to be accused of something, might as well do the deed as well. Now I want to stop all immigration, deport the darkies, and exterminate the Jews.

Well done, games journalists. Well fucking done.

/tg/ is fine.

without gamer gate, we'd have madam president.

it got trump elected so i'd say it was pretty big.

I mean, it affected the gaming industry in a way that no one escapes. It transcends borders. If you play/played games that is.

Well, at ubisoft game company they fired all their male employees replacing them with females. there's a before/after pic of the result online.

I never trusted IGN, even when 56k modems where a thing.

And Mass Effect Andromeda (SJW the game) flopped so hard it killed a studio. We're winning guys

The shortest and simplest response.

Short answer.
No.

I'll never forgive them and want the to pay the toll for fucking with our games.

Wow fuck I fell asleep halfway through reading that. Ive heard the term thrown around but I didnt realize how much if a reddit-tumblr nothing that it was.

yes. people weren't supposed to start becoming aware of the whole white genocide thing for another decade or two i think. oopsie.

>I just wanted to play video games. But if I'm going to be accused of something, might as well do the deed as well.

Agreed, i will preach 1488 online and never light my Menorah again.

I was a jew, and a proud jew until this shit happened. Now i am a self hating Jew.

Jews are the biggest problem of the world, i wish they would all die. Christianity is the only real answer.

>We're winning guys
No, they've doubled down, all the big game houses going overdrive on their anti-White pro faggotry blah agenda, or have you forgotten the likes of negro field 1?

>Wow fuck I fell asleep halfway through reading that.
But replied
Typical tumblr argument
>you're stupid and I'm not

This.

This was the straw that broke the camel's back and launched the long overdue push back against PC culture and SJWs. It started a wave that lasted all the way to the election of Donald Trump.

They should have just rebranded and called it "SJWs: In Space"

Back should have read: "Help your team of dykes spread cancer to a far away Galaxy!"

Western games have been nothing but shit for longer than the sjws have been around. All their retarded bullshit did was get trump elected and make japanese games the forefront of the industry again.

Doubling down is good. It hastens the demise, allows the cancer to be removed, lets us rebuild anew from the ashes.

The more they push this anti-white pro-faggot transgender bullshit, the sooner the normies will lose it and join us. Once the civil war starts, sheer numbers will be with us.

Alt-right vs alt-left, the alt-right will always lose. But make it black vs white, have the blacks start threatening normal white families, and our ranks will swell to unbeatable numbers.

Gamergate happened because of autism. Feminists came after all the normie stuff and the chad stuff and they understand that you say yes to women but you don't listen. When feminists came after autistic gamers they said "No, fuck off." The reason that they were gamers in the first place is that they listened to women and became nice and soft, got rejected by women for being nice and soft and ended up lonely gamers. Now when feminists came for their world they just said no. If you think that a Chad doesn't give a fuck, a hard core virgin gamer gives absolutely no fucks because he has given up completely. People pushed these gamers around all their school years and now that they had built a network of online friends and had a place in that community they had built the streangth to put their foot down. They were 20-30 years old now and had character, at least online. All their arguing about Atheism in comment sections had prepared them for this epic debate with feminists. They layed out the facts, they trapped them in logical fallacies, they read up on the feminist talking points and they completely crushed them. The feminists had no chance.

And to think, video games would have kept us in a "fog" all by themselves if they didn't try to mess with them.

Consider too that they wanted control of games because they realized that with the death of god, religion no longer formed the mytholgical "lens" through which one views the world and instead pop culture does (every liberal analogy is harry potter or star wars). They had already all but won everywhere else (movies, tv, books, music) but games were the one area that werent that PC and werent fully under their yoke, in terms of opinion. Too much libertarianism in gaming they thought, no this won't do at all! With games becoming a larger form of media for the next generation we might lose our hold on things if we dont get control over this industry.
>*five guys happens*
Ah, never let a good crisis go to waste, this is the perfect moment to launch our assault on gaming. With this in our sails, we'll have total control of all the major western studios in 6 months through their HR departments.

But what they didnt figure was that gamers werent like tv and movie people, music people, book people.

No. Gamers are completely fucking INSANE and have NOTHING else to live for! This is the SJWs Iraq/Afghanistan...you may have control but this victory has unleashed pandoras box when you invaded a containment hobby, it will be your undoing. This is your Waterloo. Mario is the hill you chose to die taking. To break yourselves upon. To destroy your entire movement before you'd just let us have that hill, because to you it was too important but now it costs you everything.

Truly the ancient world would've been in awe of the drama of our times

Lets put it this way.

I don't play vidya anymore. Now I spend my spare time hunting commies on social media.

the normies have eaten up the shit sandwich asking for more, negro field 1 a top selling game.

This is probably the most succinct summary of the thing I've ever seen.

It was until people began claiming that the reason Zoe Quinn was being hunted down was because she's a woman
Remember, the indie scene is an incestuous cesspool of degenerate libshits, so a bunch of false-flag doxxing happened along with stupid normie faggots making it about fighting feminism instead of the original corruption narrative
Now Quinn is regarded as a "brave hero" for standing up against the patriarchy

BF1 did happen to die faster than any other BF game that came before though (even though it sold very well).

I've lived through the best years of gaming, western games used to be great. (((They))) have been influencing games before the sjw bullshit.

you see it even in dos games.

Yes, it snowballed after her video was posted on Sup Forums over and over again, their were multiple threads at once which always hit bumb limit as the topic was discussed to death as Sup Forums who had actually been criticizing how stale video games had gotten were mad at how she presented her argument.
It's snowballed once the journalist sites realized they would make a ton of money covering it and kotaku, who had already began hiring terrible female journalists who sucked a critiquing video games, felt emboldened and wrote click bait opinion pieces.
Then Anita complained about "death threats" when the standard response on the internet back then was simply kys. Gamers were seen as toxic and evil by the media and people who rarely ever played video games where told hardcore gamers were the devil and the industry went all in on being "inclusive" and casualizing video games for this "new female crowd" that had seemingly sprung up over night.

The liberal problem needs to be cleansed with a flamethrower.

You're right but what I was saying is that the sjws also hurt the jews by causing western gaming to fall off the map for anybody who actually plays games. The sjws are 4chans most effective allies.

This was important tho because no one else had the time to argue with these psychopaths. Normies have parties to go to and careers to focus on. They do have an hour a day to look at whats happening online tho and what they saw were gamers frying feminists alive and destroying all their BS narratives. It was important for the political- and over all cultural landscape and it did bring about things like Trump and the Alt-right.

Agreed. SJWs are basically what killed the democrats and butt-fucked Hillary. We just shitposted a lot and keked.

Yes. youtube.com/watch?v=STl7-_f4_eA is an excellent recap for those that don't know.

Jim made a video you need to check out. Look up the Quinnspiracy on YouTube.

basically gamergate shit was spammed everywhere and mods of Sup Forums and reddit eventually got tired of that retarded shit and that triggered the gamerkin into thinking there was an industry wide conspiracy against them

And it's packed full of people with meme names
calling each other cucks. This I'm not sure exactly what to make of that, either this whole board is on there or Sup Forums cancer is spreading like wildfire. Both are funny.

I would argue they pushed their agenda to get developers more "diverse" but as a consequence, the AAA titles have dropped in quality. Assassins Creed, Mass Effect, WatchDogs, and Battlefield.
I hope GTA 6 isn't full SJW.

Gamergate memed fallout into reality.

See you in the wasteland 2020

taught me that the media is a joke. I'll also probably never vote democrat again.

>media exposed for biased cunts
>still happening today
gamergate was only the beginning

It made gen z aware of fake news and social brainwashing in the greater world.

If the media had ignored gg it would have gone away.

I for one embrace the pozzing of modern video games. Gives me more time to get /fit/, read philosophy, and make money since I'm not trying to keep up with the latest games.

Ironically enough I don't think Republicans have any idea why their younger base exploded over these past few years.

nice try, the digging revealed a big jew plan underneath, they/you freaked at the reveal and spasm reacted with gamers r all ded, shut up, shut up, shut up!

shame. With the left busy committing suicide they have a huge opportunity on their hands

gg was about trading sex for a favorable review, later on about journalists having a working group to all have stories on the same topic on the same week.

The anti-womyn shit was a response to silence gg.

There were several poop swastika false flags and plenty of sub par trolls feeding attention whores. Her Jewish genetics made being a professional victim too attractive to ignore.

>/tg/ is fine.
Hahaha haha, no it most certainly isn't, my British friend. /Tg/ has literally become nothing more than a steaming pile of manure inhabited only by 40k Reddit-children who shit up every discussion they enter. The removal of Quests is what allowed them to blossom like the malignant growth that they are.

What are rastafarians like?

Yeah and BF1 tanked relative to their expectations. Marvel ended the black panther comic, and ESPN is doing so badly due to nogging that it hurt Disney

As others said them doubling down is good for us because their victory was due to the slow march, if they speed up their march the frog wakes up in the pot and they face a big problem

Video games turning shit caused me to come to Sup Forums and Sup Forums is a worse addiction for me than any game ever.

Don't forget luggage lad. How moot got friend zoned by a slut to enforce SJW norms here. And how it backfired.

>As others said them doubling down is good for us because their victory was due to the slow march, if they speed up their march the frog wakes up in the pot and they face a big problem
Wow. Unironically great analogy.

I've said over and over again. GG was just one part of a much larger Marxist take over of the media at the time.

Man,I went to Sup Forums the other day and boy this board has been overrun by reddit and neogaf,can't even give an opinion without a bunch of autists telling me to go back to pol if i don't fit in their retarded numale sjw hivemind.

I'm not eve sure if i should be angry or sad.

The older republicans are basically center leftists with just enough center in them to call themselves "right", they dont want all this because winning in this way isnt worth it to them, theyre cucks like that
