So what went right

So what went right

literally nothing. that was painful.

its death

Nothing. Goobers lost to literal faggots, hambeasts, dykes, and minorities

lmao

...

This shitty event was basically the nail in the coffin to Sup Forums. The election bullshit is just pissing on the grave.

You say that but the extreme fanaticism is gone and the articles are no longer designed to anger and instigate.

There were very real conflicts of interest exposed and what normies thought were heartfelt pleas for equality were shown to be, for the most part, hate propaganda. People saw this, profits dropped and the business adapted.

Also Gawker ran up against Hulkamania, lost and was fined into the ground. That probably did it too.

Everything up until 5 guys lady got everyone to think it wasn't about journalism, but about girl gamers.

yeah except polygon and kotaku still do it. Go look at their front page for me.

>conflicts of interest

How old are you? Vidya media has always had and will always have conflict of interests. It's a joke of a "journalism" medium and to this day, I'm still can't believe some teenage neckbeards were somehow surprised by this

I stopped reading gaming publications and following those 'enthusiast' youtube channels. If anything it showed me how terrible the medium can be. I learned a lot about cliques and generalizations, stereotyping by political ideologies that I didn't realize engaged in it. It was also the first time I realized that the 'sexual favors' thing is real and chicks use that shit all the time. Learned a whole lot.

Are gamergate and trump's election the worst things to ever happen to Sup Forums?

gave Journos an excuse to blame everything on something. You didn't fuck up! its just gamergate of them

Helped me realise just how worthless professional games coverage was, and came to understand the arrogance of the intellectual set and why the Devil is always portrayed as a smart man.

Nothing. It was infiltrated and used as a recruitment tool that shitty groups used to reach the NEETs and other angry virgins.

It unironically created the alt right movement in turn making a trump presidency way more likely.

>Also Gawker ran up against Hulkamania
this isn't even relevant to gamergate

>we're anti-censorship so we don't think journalists and bloggers should be allowed to write their opinions if we don't like them

You could tell me how evil the SJWs are and their crimes all day and night, I don't fucking care. The point is GG is fundamentally flawed because they basically just want people they don't agree with to go away and shut up. I don't agree with SJWs and think they're full of shit, but it's their fucking blog, or their fucking website, so they can write what they want. And Anita can say whatever she wants on her youtube. Don't like it, make an alternative. But all this effort to lose gawker money and celebrating when people get fired and running game journalists out of town so they can't say their opinions? Because you don't like them? You're a fucking piece of shit. And then you dare to call THEM thought police and cultural marxists and whatever other bullshit.

And then everything was ruined forever.

pretty much. trump winning brought in a wave of Sup Forums normalfags who enjoy pewdiepie

Chanology was worse because it acted as a gateway for the cancer. Everything that came after it was just vultures festering on the corpse.

Still don't know what alt right actually is. Every time I ask about the principles or manifesto of the alt right I get a bunch of mixed messages. Is it just a term for the non-mainstream right wing sorts, or is there more to it?

Proof that gamergate is just pointless Reddit drama

>GG desperately try to represent themselves as diverse as possible
>create NotYourShield to show everyone how many people in GG are women, trans, or people of colour from all over the world
>spend all their time fighting against anyone in the game industry who thinks diversity is a good thing

I just don't understand

Sup Forums was Sup Forums in 2010 are you retarded?

It taught millennials who were into gaming to try and look at both sides before reaching a conclusion and the only thing to trust is yourself.

Yes. The fappening didn't help matters either.

>all we want is politics OUT of games journalism!
>sweet this unashamedly right-wing blogger guy supports us, haha he complains about feminists all day long, he is so BASED!!!
>but the important thing is no agendas are being pushed VOTE TRUMP
>haha milo is so right about trannies being insane VOTE TRUMP
>the only reason I hate all these SJWs talking about games is that they don't even play videogames!!!
>haha milo wrote a game review for a game he never played and made fun of SJWs haha BASED
>milo also wrote an article after a shooting where he blamed videogames
>haha it's fine though there's no way milo is just an opportunist looking for clicks because he's not like the SJWs
>haha milo so based, he even knows the memes!! xD

I see through you tumblr. Get the fuck out. GG isn't welcome, but neither are you. Fuck you and your opinions.

people who are mad at the establishment but still lean right.

Has attracted a lot of young people and A LOT of redditors

made up term by the left to divide and conquer. some gladly adopted it.

Nah, we won.

That about right?

>The only people who bring up GG are alt leftists.

I wouldn't have heard about it at all if it wasn't for you reactionary NEETS bringing it up all the time in an effort to get on the radar of gamer girls and fuck them.

GG was fueled by anti GG and almost nothing else.

Learn to read.

Just think of it as internet conservatism

>hilarious Law and Order episode
>Moviebob spergs so hard he loses his job
>domino effect leading to shit like Allison Rapp getting found out as an escort

Gamer gate was fantastic and essentially won by virtue of the other side being retarded. It should be completely forgotten by now but you have people like Brianna Wu bringing it up every day.

Doesn't matter they won.

>anyone in the game industry who thinks diversity is guaranteed bonus sales and also a handy virtue to deflect criticism

fixed

It's pretty much a term for the average permafriendzoned virgin that wouldn't vote right if they hadn't been told a vote for the right was a vote against the girls that friendzoned him and the niggers that bully him. It's not a real political stance as they move with the rest of the right wing as one, just a petty insult, though a fitting one desu.

Yeah those would be the biggest ones. Then the odd smaller ones scattered throughout the years.

Trannies ARE insane.
Trump DID win.

What is this post trying to convey? How angry you are?

When moot kicked these fags out

name 2 games with right wing politics shoehorned in, tumblr.

Look at all these amazing counterpoints

Isn't it more that more phones are actually capable of decent web browsing?

I've been here since 2006 and I almost exclusively phonepost now.

Nothing wrong with diversity, arrogant people who virtue signal for social gain are disgusting though (white people), that shit puts people off no matter what your politics/life is about. Like in any circle of people, that shit will piss someone off.

Well this thread is shit already.

it's a childish version of traditional conseervatism without any of the morals and where autism is actively encouraged.

Then why are there 100 threads a day complaining about SJW's in vidya?

I read your faggy picture and was refuting it, no incomprehension here, cocksucker. Learn to read yourself.

Now that it's been over for years, can you niGGers admit you were just looking for excuses to bitch about SJWs? No one with a brain actually fell for your "We want to preserve journalistic integrity"

someone explain Gamer Gate to me. I'm not American.

because they won, more people are talking about which means the goal of having less people talk about it has been accomplished. Isn't that hilarious?

this

The biggest issue in games right now is day one DLC, early access paid beta testing, microtransactions and various other shamelessly immoral business practices that gamers just seem perfectly happy to roll over and take. (I don't even have to mention how every gaming "boycott" is a farce, since everyone just ends up buying the fucking game anyway.)

It absolutely fucking sickens me how much time is completely wasted getting assblasted over SJWs who write shitty stupid blogs that nobody fucking cares about while the actual business of games is allowed to run rampant. Look at the replies in this thread alone. Look at how many fucking faggots genuinely believe that the biggest threat to games right now is some whiney genderfluid shitbag with a tumblr account. They honestly believe this is a threat. Gone Home getting a bunch of 10/10s is not actually going to make your shitty realistic military shooters go away, so stop fucking crying about it.

If the amount of time and energy wasted on making the millionth goddamn anti-Anita thread was put into actually trying to effect change in something that mattered, the ACTUAL VIDEOGAME INDUSTRY, then maybe, just maybe we could have made waves and shown there is a huge amount of people who won't take this shit.

But we do, and we don't even bother complaining anymore, because it's more important that we all complain about one fucking tranny who says something dumb on twitter or some shit.

You can blame "stupid casuals" "SJWs" and "feminazis" all you want, but maybe you should look at yourselves you dumb niggers.

>GG lead to the alt right
>alt right grew huge as a bunch of young people were attracted to it
>memed trump into presidency
seriously, it's weird how a fat woman fucking guys to get coverage of her crappy short story turned into trump winning

I don't give a fuck about the bloggers or the president but trannies are insane.

Why wouldn't people complain about SJWs in video games?

Honest answer please.

>"guuuuys can't we all just get along? we should deal with people not liking our opinions :^)"
>Your opinion is horseshit, fuck off
>WTF STOP OPPRESSING ME?!?!?!
Fucking retarded, fuck off back to redit.

how oddly weird that every time someone criticises journalists, the person in question always turns out to be an evil nazi rapist monster
how strange that these are the only people who ever attack those poor, scrappy, underdog journalists

Yes, the SJW's won and continue to diversify vidya.

I wanted journalism to stop being a joke, but as soon as the board for it started talking about other political issues I knew the message for the cause got destroyed faster than the 99%'s cause.

shut up reddit

In terms of what was actually accomplished, not a whole lot.

The fact that niGGers take credit for Hulkmania says volumes.

ok I admit it

Chanology 2.0 kicked off and all the underage crusade kiddies thought Sup Forums should be their epic base of operations, because it's a cool underground website that mom and dad don't know about. So they invited reddit and tumblr here (literally, not in a paranoid sense) and together they flooded the board with their shit, and proved their underage by making an OC and donating to a feminist game developer for no reason other than to score "innocence points" for future debates.

Even though everyone agrees that Anita and her little posse is full of shit, GG slowly crumbled as it became clear that everyone involved was more interested in crying about feminism and SJWs than actually talking about corruption in the gaming industry, and more and more members drift away as it dawns on them what a trainwreck it's become.

All that's left now is the people who have nothing else, and it's basically just a group for lonely autists who got to feel part of a community for the first time in their lives, meaning that GG in it's current state is basically just the Brony fandom again.

The SJW side is so full of self-hating bitter self-serving vipers that taking their side is fucking insane, obviously.
The idea that not wanting to take either side in this shitshow is somehow nothing other than "being smug" and thinking you're better than "everyone else" is idiotic. Anyone over the age of 18 and with a lick of common sense wouldn't join either side of this worthless pissing match.

Never underestimate the power of unanchored young men. The most powerful destabilising forces in history have always been fueled by the restless nature of the young man.

So whats going to be the next big Sup Forums trolling, Sup Forums?

Every time. Always. Stay mad. Say nigger some more. I thought you weren't allowed to say that in your circles?

what the fuck are you on about?

Not my picture. It clearly shows Sup Forums newfags started flooding the site thanks to gg and the election.

Everything. Only nu/v/ doesn't understand GG and thinks it was bad
Literally eat shit tier thinking

>what went right
gaming journalists lost a lot of credibility and trust.
thats pretty much all that came of the whole shitshow.

meme a nuclear war into reality

Fags ruined everything and OP was the biggest faggot of them all.

The end.
