Could we use another one?

It made a lot of people a lot of money. I'd like it to happen again so I could make some cash.

In concept, yes. But nothing good came out of it.

Vivian is hot.

>tfw no good Vivian ERP partners

For about 3 days. It distracted from the console-war shitposting being at a then-all-time-high and brought OC which was nice, but unfortunately all of it is now associated with the mess that GG became so it's pointless. Vivian's still a pretty nice and simple design though so there's that I guess.

Gamergate really showed me how the media controls a narrative. I mean, everyone knows they do that all the time already but gamergate was the first time I actually saw something happening in front of my eyes and then seeing a completely different story being reported in the media.

Because Vivian is incredibly autistic and anybody who would want to roleplay her is the king of the autists

No. It was a misogynistic harassment movement. One of the worst things to come out from Sup Forums.

And Vivian is just a Tomoko recolor, not better than Coldsteel the hedgehog.

It made Sup Forums as a whole exponentially worse. NOTHING good came of this. No goals were achieved at all.

Where there genuinely people pre-GG who thought video game journalism wasn't a shitshow held up by complete fucktards who have no sense of professionalism, accountability, transparency or any sort of basic capability in anything whatsoever?
>but this gave proof...
nigger if you ever read fucking anything ever that would give you enough proof.

Zoe did nothing wrong

Sort of and no

No, OP. They were in the alt-right.

Why is it always Canadians?

Besides raping her boyfriend, I guess not. It was mostly the journalists fault.

I wish I was canadian.

SJWs should be exterminated in their sleep, not confronted publically

it's not all of us, only (insert province here) are that bad

Why did you try to kill her, GamerGate?

No, they were autistic idiots who were desperate for attention.

It gave the world Mike Cernovich so I'd say it was bad.

>the Great White Hope
>Bad

Contemplate the option that the media did report the truth but you were too stupid to notice.

The thing was pretty embarrassing.
By arguing about what basically amounts to toy commercials people believed that they were saving the universe.
Also, the autistic fanart.

Is that retard still sperging on twitter?

Nice try, sheep.

They were fucking faggots for bringing in more redditors and tumblrites because they supported their cause.
Their 8ch outpost also imploded on itself twice.
>inb4 hurr durr shill
Fuck off faggot. It's the same thing with Sup Forums and /r/t_d for a comparison I'm sure you're very familiar with

dunno. they are pretty much alt-right now, it sucks, but i hate sjws too. i dont trust those who hate ggers but say nothing about sjws.

>disagreement
>sheep
Consider drinking some tasty bleach

This, everyone here had already completely disregarded games journalism before gg.

because for them it's a career

Gamergate was a very successful psy-op campaign to activate disgruntled nerds and turn them into far-right nazis. Dance, puppets!

>were they in the right

They put a lot of energy into something that could have been used better on literally anything else

At what point do you just say "who fucking cares?" and walk away? It probably should have been much sooner than Gamergate

Fuck off. Seriously FUCK OFF. FUCK YOU. WHAT GAMERGATE WAS A FUCKING BACKLASH AGAINST CORRUPTION IN GAMES JOURNALISM AND IT WAS COOPTED BY YOU STUPID FUCKING RETARD IDIOTS WHO TRIED TO MAKE IT ABOUT "US VS SJWS" AND THEN YOU FUCKING STUPID IDIOT RETARD KISSLESS VIRGIN KEKS STARTED HARASSING PEOPLE. BECAUSE THAT'LL SURE CLEAN UP THE GAMES JOURNALISM INDUSTRY RIGHT? OH BUT WAIT WHY DO PEOPLE HATE GAMERGATE SUDDENLY? GAMERGATE IS A RELIGION OF PEACE! GAMERGATE DINDU NUFFIN. THIS SHIT JUS THE MEDIA CONTROLLIN THE MESSAGE AND SHIEEET. JUS WANTED SOME M&MS

>Believes in media.
>He pretends he is not a sheep

Please, at least try harder or pretend a little better.

Sure sure, it wasn't about the secret journalist groups that were exposed, the incest between the developers and journalists, the complete lack of integrity in game journalism, the proof that sex for favors in the industry DOES exist, the exposing of massive hypocrisy, and a general effort to improve the condition of the industry, it was misogyny and harassment. Zoe did nothing wrong in fucking a guy with connections so she could get god reviews for her, ahem, """""game""""", and neither did the others who did this.

God you guys are fucking slaves to pussy, aren't you? Have some fucking self-respect.

yes and no, but gamergate wasn't an organized movement, it just was a hashtag on twitter.
Anyone could say anything and each single person has different ideals and beliefs.

Some people took adventage of both sides, earning money and fame, to keep cashing out later

lol nice job guys

I think the fact that they think these 50 year old video game bloggers, most of whom are on welfare, have any sort of influence on a billion/trillion dollar industry is pretty laughable. Games like DOOM and the new Zelda have been largely successful despite all the SJWs whining about them.

On the other hand, these "progressive" ""feminist"" """"journalists"""" seem to have a hard time calling out people in their own clique when they do something shitty, i.e. Devin Faraci and Matt Hickey raping woman, Sarah Nyberg distributing CP, Zoe Quinn DDOSing a feminist charity and sexually harassing indie devs, etc.

So if these journalists aren't going to do their job and report on these shitbag, something like GamerGate is necessary to do their job for them.

>le bleach maymay xDDDD
Jej. Were you one of those Ayyteam redditors?

Well... when mods and the admin itself ban people who play games but let people who complains about game to post... it's kinda natural.

You know what user, im a sheep. bahhhhhh, ,bahhhhhh. gamergate bahhhhhhhh. sheeppppppppp.

The existence of media collusion to establish set narratives was revealed (gamejournpros)

A lot of tinfoilers were vindicated.

im still mad about that article, not like I'll put a single piece of myself to change it besides this comment that nobody will read in a sea of shit

Albertans

Damn, leaves these days don't even try.

One thing led to another, and eventually, Trump got elected. It was pretty good in the long run.

But

1. A lot of the shit that the media reported really did happen

2. Quite a few sites had neutral reporting on it. Forbes and Escapist to name two of the more prominent ones.

Overall it was a waste of time. The whole group got hung up on sucking e-celeb dick and lots of right wingers who had literally never played vidya before (milo, cernovitch) shilled it for money and fans

Vidya journalism is still cancer but GG was not the answer... it was just more cancer
