Explain Gamergate

I wasn't paying much attention when it was going down but I have been reading up on it and it seems like the feminizis won? Could someone explain what happened and why the internet chimped out? I want to hear the Sup Forums side of the story.

gamergate is why trump got elected and why there are literally nazis out in the open today, they won bigly

Care to elaborate?

Google Gamergate

>girl slept with man who reviewed her game, gave it 10/10

>her beta boyfriend found out and posted online about it

the rest is history

Gamergate was so terrible Sup Forums banned every mention of it for a couple of weeks.

It was a reaction to corruption in video games journalism, which then feminists turned into muh soggy knee, which became the narrative that was reported on

>Explain Gamergate

we won, that's all that matters

Zoe Quinn released an absolutely terrible game which got lavished with amazing reviews because she fucked her way through miles of dick in the vidya industry.

Sup Forums and Sup Forums sensed something was wrong and uncovered that virtually all Gaming Journalists are in a cabal to cater to certain vidya developers, including those who suck a bunch of dicks. There are no genuine reviews, it's all just a matter of who you know.

>nazis out in the open
The only thing ive seen out in the open is the insane amoumt of liberal loons protesting everything mildly offensive

But that just provides me with biased takes on it. I want to know what compelled people to send threats n shit. Other than that tattoo'd bitch sleeping with a journalist what else made the internet react like that?

gamergate was about the fact that there is an extremist leftist "cabal" of journalists and producers that hold a lot of sway in the gaming community via being the key to "exposure" which is to say, success for a game developer.
This means that anyone not pushing their brand of ideology and politics are blacklisted.
They were exposed to have a coordinated group where they communicated what propaganda to push at what time. This was most famously demonstrated with "all gamers are dead" articles.
But the reality of it goes further than "paid advertising" or "someone whored themselves for good reviews"
It is about the fact that an entertainment medium bigger than hollywood and the music industry combined is being dominated as a propaganda medium for extremist leftist rhetoric. Just look at any given major franchise to see the future they are trying to create by redefining the present and past.
You brainlets never have an answer for this. You would prefer to hide behind "oh its about sexism and bigotry by man children" because thats the easy, mainstream media fed answer you want.
pro tip: the mainstream media saw this is a giant threat considering it was a crack into the entire industry
same practices
same political and ideological biases
it was no wonder that overnight there were instant hit pieces about gamergate all over the western world
news and radio even here was talking about this obscure issue that apparently noone understood
and only feminists legbeards could apparently adequately explain
fucking brainlets
and the mainstream media wonders why people dont trust it these days
what a joke

Now this explains a lot

It will get shilled against but Gamergate exposed a coordinated left-wing agenda in the "gaming press." The "gaming press" responded by accusing all the GGers exposing the corruption by accusing them of harassing women. That's why it's so delicious to see Neo Gaf hoisted on their own petard.

People opposed being thought-controlled by SJWs and the battle continues.

Thanks for the detailed post man

>I want to know what compelled people to send threats n shit

there were no fucking threats, dipshit. quinn and anita consider a tweet that says "kill yourself you whore" a death threat.

that feel when no zoe gf to protect from internet trolls

It was about being a literal cuck's personal army.

It started because people were buttmad that game journalism has become progressively more corrupt over the past few years.
but then
happened, and a bunch of autists started harassing Quinn enough that Moot started banning everyone, sperged out, and went to Google. Feminists used it as evidence of their damp knees infesting gamer culture, doubled down on their already insane viewpoints, and started forcing others to be even more overtly corrupt and liberal than they were before. Media everywhere started crying over muh poor innocent wimmins like Quinn, and everyone who wasn't vehemently anti-gamer was outed as some sort of closet woman hater.

It really proves that a handful of autists in a sea of sane people can ruin a movement like no other.

I figured it was a massive overreaction.

This.

The threats were always bullshit like “die in a fire”.

Why manbabies chimped out because women intruded their safe space.

This was the start. The main thing, however, is that game journos closed ranks against the viewership that called foul on this. Huge internet fight ensues on the twitters and various game forums. Females who defended Quinn along with their white knight brigade made a big deal about "internet harrassment". Basically called all anons who criticised them rapists and abusers and sexist homophobes or whatever. Quinn and that other feminist with the schnoz testify before congress and the UN about their new pet topuc of internet harrassment. Many vidya fans cite this as the point that they moved over to the right wing in their political views.

Firetires won and mootykins cucked out

This desu

>user, will you write an review of my new game please? i'll make it up for you ;3

What respond?

It all began with this bitch fucking people for reviews

Leftists infiltrated my favorite form of entertainment and used it as a platform to spew hate/shame/guilt at gamers. It's responsible for the political schism that led to Trump.

Neckbeards are a priest class of our society. When we wield the truth we are quite powerful.

See this is the kind of info I can't get from just googling this shit. You only see the liberal side of the story online. Recommendations for real stories/news other than browsing Sup Forums?

Even though moot cucked out and clearly turned on us, I have to give the guy credit.

He could have burned this site to the ground before he left. But he chose to troll us a bunch (Sup Forums harbor) and then leave the site in the hands of someone who would handle it better.

some random female dev slept with some boys and Sup Forums got jealous because it can't get real pussy

Further to this, there had been a notable difference in game writing in the years leading up to the incident. Leftists were inserting leftist globalist propaganda in to the games. That is another part of the justifiably angry reaction to the whole deal.

>girl slept with man who reviewed her game, gave it 10/10

this never actually happened. it's one of the most enduring myths of gamergate.

1) that guy never reviewed her game

2) by the time they slept together it had been at least a year since he had written a review of any game

the real problem here, if anything, was that she cheated on her boyfriend in the process, and then went and did it with four other guys. this is why she's scum, not the fake review myth garbage. there was no conspiracy, just a whore whose dirty laundry was made public by her ex-boyfriend.

thanks user

That's true. Moot is a tremendous cuck, but at least he had some integrity at the end by not just closing down Sup Forums.

Though that's probably in part because he knew if he lanced the boil that is Sup Forums, the resulting puss stream would leak over the rest of the internet and would ultimately be tied back to him.

God forgive me, but I would fuck this retard.

this

Pretty much this. The reason why (((they))) tried to bury GG is because it was the beginning of people waking up to fake news. Also, Zoe is a Van Valkenberg, basically very old money. That's why she was able to speak in the UN, among other things.

and by the way, if anyone doubts me, just google this stuff. it's all public record - game reviews appear on websites, after all.

if the guy actually had reviewed and rated her game, you could just find that review. but you can't, because it doesn't exist. it's only real in the minds of people who hear this story secondhand and then repeat it to others instead of investigating it themselves.

Is that herpes on her lip?

Whether or not the initial story is true is immaterial to the fallout. What Quinn may or may not have done is not part of the importance of gamergate.

But people did review her games that were very buddy buddy with her and have her unreasonably high reviews for a shit game. Also an indie award show was basically rigged for her

Any imgur albums with all the new and improved Zoe 2.0 with cuck orbiter-sourced cybernetic implants.

Asking for a friend.

The encyclopedia dramatica article is extremely detailed if you're interested in more specifics

The whole thing was mostly embarrassing but like many here have said it was a useful red pill for purple 2 who weren't interested in these issues before

As much as I dislike the guy, Sargon's channel documents GG as well as anything else. Though he leaves out everything Sup Forums contributed.

Well it was pretty simple a girl was fucking several guys to get their shitty game rep and good reviews then Trump won.

Just go watch a bunch of InternetAristocrat and Mr Metokur.

Lip ring. At least I hope so.

Reminder mainstream media brainwashed gamergate supporters into hating it by deeming it "uncool".
It stuck, which is why everyone rolls their eyes at the mention of it now.

Thanks for the info

not gonna lie, if she sucked my dick, id give her a good review

She's like princess dust but with all of the tit fat located elsewhere on her body. Her nudes are kind of gross, tbqh with you senpai

Quinn should've been fucking immaterial to the movement in general, a lot of GG just turned into how bad of a person Quinn is. Like no shit, she's a shitty person, but the entire point of it was about games journalism. Be mad at the person that took the bribe, not the person that offered it. Even if she didn't fuck the dude, that narrative and the importance of how much of a whore quinn was ended up being a huge part of GG on Sup Forums which was just pure fucking autism.

Sup Forums is an aggregate
cant really recommend any one site
its hard to compete with the culminative force of tens of thousands of autists all bringing their own specialisations and finds to the table 24/7 despite the amount of cancer present these days

>that feel when no whore-GF who I could pass to everyone, get a nice, cushy job and then dump her

Truly, what a tragedy.

before it was fake news it was called gamergate

I knew I kept this shit for a reason.

12/10

Yeah it really is difficult to find real reputable sources for news.

Zoe Quinn is fucking disgusting human filth, honestly the lowest of the low.

Does anyone else remember right after the shitstorm started with the boyfrieds blogpost her fucking nudes were posted? Disgusting.

redpill - enjoy.

>Kiked media pushing the narrative that video games cause violence while simultaneously selling violent games.
>Publishers have control over all that is said in media
>Press access and early game access revoked if disobedient
>Zoe Quinn scandal exposes a small fuck for fame game which then breaks open the narrative that publishers are kikes
>All white males are now women abusing Nazi's, down with patriarchy, LBGTQURPTZ+ are offended, Cultural Marxist Overload!

We were right, the media is kiked and against white males. The problem is far beyond the scope of videogames.

The end.

>Gamergate

Pick your side:
Sargon of Cocksuck or Zoe the Goddess

People got fed up with Zoe Quinn and the Anita types being in bed with developers, some neckbeards tried to mobilize it into a "movement" about gaming journalism itself but had no real endgame.

At most I guess you could say awareness was raised and people were redpilled that gaming journalism sucks and so do all the SJW types that try to control game design.

nathan grayson from kotaku
hilarious how you tried to memory hole that

Thanks to everyone who has replied in this thread. Im getting on a plane so I will check on it later if its still up. Based Sup Forums

>Zoe Quinn released an absolutely terrible game
It should be noted that the game was barely a game, and in any case got shat on so hard by members of a board for depressed people that she sent her personal army to flood their shit with posts telling them to kill themselves. gg.
It was pretty much for this reason that zoe was already a despised character when her ex aired the dirty laundry, and the reason people felt such schadenfreude that the "five guys, burgers and fries" jokes kept going for like a week. It was also what made the response from gaming blogs so dissonant and jarring, especially considering their response to the Kane & Lynch 2 scandal just a few years earlier - back then they mocked the culprits with the rest of us, this time they came out in their defense, throwing a collective tantrum over the perceived misogyny. It was this reaction that puzzled people and kicked off gamergate.

>feminazis won
>trump is president
0/8 i yawn as type this

Already forgot about the 5 guys memes.

things 16 year olds say

>sunken meth eyes
>destroyed straw hair
>misshapen amoeba like body
>pathetic enough to give moot attention
>"""""goddess"""""
sure lad

You're a fucking historical revisionist. Of the four game journos she slept with, one of them was Nathan Grayson, who wrote a positive review of Depression Quest for RPS.

rockpapershotgun.com/2014/01/08/admission-quest-valve-greenlights-50-more-games/

>powerful Twine darling Depression Quest, surrealist Thief usurper Tangiers, and sidescrolling epic Treasure Adventure World.

Point is, fuck off Neogaffer.

zoe would get it till it fell off desu

seeSauce faggot.

Oh I see why you like Sargon more

MsM were in bed with big developers

Yeah that Wikipedia article on GG is completely unbiased.

THIS IS NOW A NEOGAG THREAD

can someone edit this with some sort of Nazi march in the background or maybe a Hitler speech

I tried to figure out how to do it but I am retarded and completely unfamiliar with video editing

if you put a beard on quinn during GG and gave her Sargon's sense of self-importance and crippling autism, you couldn't tell the two apart

...

Actually moot was the biggest contributor to this. It's hilarious how Sup Forums is so blue pulled they think the whole thing was some conspiracy against all women now. Fucking cucks

nvm someone already did

No, sea of liberal idiots. And the gaming industry is especially liberal by default. Same with the Holly Jew

How is this the same person...?

"Water, water everywhere but not a drop to drink"

it is the first time that we as Sup Forums gained allies in the media or conservative movement, starting with the escapist (vidya gaems) and ultimately culminating in a healthy relationship w. breitbart and launching milo's career. as said

prior to gg, sjws had media connections and the ability to control the narrative in any engagement with them. this is why anita's career launched the way it did for example. during gg itself, Sup Forums anons in the threads tried very hard to prevent each other from harassing or doxxing anyone, and even donated to feminist charities, but this all gets scrubbed out of the story. but it doesn't matter, since it was our biggest community organizing victory ever. it is what turned us from political Sup Forums to elite /i/ special forces. while gg was not our first engagement, it was the start of a frutiful symbiotic relationship w/ the RW media, built up our twitter networks and etc., and formed the basis for what would later be called the alt-right (separate from spencer's alt-right, although the 2 are related, we created more of a big tent movement and i think most of Sup Forums was not as intimately familiar with white nationalism or natsocism prior to hillary's speech)

so all in all it was good for us, and humiliating for (((them)))

Jew buxx

>Sup Forums is giving this underaged newfaggot 90 replies
You all belong back in reddit

(((Valkenberg)))

A few skanks got together (especially Anita Sarkeesian) and found out they could make some money off of feminists by manipulating them into thinking video games are sexist. Anita made out with hundreds of thousands of dollars from her YouTube channel and kickstarter for some stupid series she promised to make but never did. It was the awakening of alot of gamers into thinking more red pilled because they were being attacked by various media outlets using Anita's "studies". There were various scandals within the whole SJW movement and Kotaku like that bitch in your picture sleeping with various guys to get an editing job. There was more shit that happened with other women in Anitas ilk trying to sleep their way into high positions on Sup Forums, YouTube, Twitter...etc

Debunk this nigger

>jew angle

you're not fooling anyone fatty

DEGENERATE

She lost a lot of weight since then though dumbass

I think that would be considered pre GG. GG was the backlash to the media and websites, including Sup Forums, shutting down all conversation about about those pre GG events.

Res so low i can't even read one word
