Where would you be without Sup Forums?

If Sup Forums died tomorrow, would you miss it? What would you do with your time?

Dante Must Die mode: No cripplechan.

I'd try to look for another highly populated place to shitpost about vidya in. Hopefully anonymous and without registration, but I'd probably cave in and register somewhere if I had to.

Shitpost on Reddit

The most significant thing that happened here, maybe all of Sup Forums, in the last few years was that hashtag. I still see gay ass nerds use it, it's kinda depression how collectivist people are over shitty video game websites.

One less reason to waste my time on the internet.
nice autism image btw

Fucking this, GG ruined the internet and there's no redemption.

Move onto the next best thing, Just like how id assume most of the people here used to frequent some kind of fansite or forums, Before those places either went to shit or died.

Dunno. I guess I'd just go back to playing video games and shitposting comment sections on porn sites.

>tfw MGSV became a topic for GG but no one wanted to talk about it because its not SJW related

Vivian was a cool design associated with terrible shit. She's basically the Scarlet Spider.

I never realised this.

That's how it always goes. It only matters when it's some woman that said a feminist thing. Just an excuse for Sup Forumstards to bitch.

So can anyone tell me exactly what GG is and how it ruined the internet?

>Sargon, MundaneMatt, Metokur, Lauren Southern, Milo, Zoe Quinn, ShoeonHead, Brianna Wu and Anita used it make money off of underageb& who are easily manipulated
>us fags are still here
I hate rich people.

the site died long ago wouldnt miss it much at this point

Is it possible to miss a shit heap like this?

This
I mean shit, I still miss old Sup Forums. This place is more like a husk and I'm fucking trapped in it.

It's a conspiracy theory about shit that doesn't matter propagated by useful idiots who barely understand it themselves despite thinking it's a huge deal. The damage is that it trained paranoid neckbeards to treat every single online interaction and every piece of media as an ideological battleground because SJW infiltrators are supposedly everywhere and trying to influence everything for nefarious yet ill-defined purposes.

Its what kicked off the whole SJW vs Sup Forums shit that escalated worse during the election

It started after some journos were acting shitty and giving people special treatment for sex. Then it turned into a big shitstorm when people found a journo mailing list they used to scheme behind the scenes. Some other stuff happened too but it was mostly pointless drama. Nothing really changed, it just reinforced what people already knew, which is that journos are retards who shouldn't be trusted.

Nice try, SJW. It's obvious that you're posting this to try to turn Sup Forums into a place that is accepting of your kind. Not gonna happen, bro. Not while I'm here to stand vigil. I will protect Sup Forums from your kind. I swore an oath in 2013. Now go, back to Neogaf with you.

>It started after some journos were acting shitty and giving people special treatment for sex.
Right, this part? Never actually happened.

It did though, that's what kicked it off in the first place.

I can't even tell if this is ironic

Keep playing video games.

>Then it turned into a big shitstorm when people found a journo mailing list they used to scheme behind the scenes.
Oh, actually, neither did this one. Sorry for jumping the gun.

I mean there was a mailing list but no scheming was ever uncovered and it was a blatant attempt at poisoning the well by none other than alt-right superstar Milo Yiannopoulos.

A bunch of idiots getting tricked into believing that is what kicked it off.

yeh when we made genuine jokes about companys fucking up/actualy retards posting and not just shitposting everything

No it happened because she cucked another guy.

A KEK AGAINST ONE OF US IS A KEK AGAINST ALL OF US.

>enjoy smaller niche games that are still popular enough to get semi frequent threads
>good threads without shitposting with people who have similar taste
>avoid obvious shitposting and bait threads
>avoid obvious shill threads about whatever stupid AAA shit is coming out this week

It is. I'm merely making fun of the billions of Sup Forumstards with that shit mentality that infest this god forsaken website.

>cucked
She cheated on him with a bunch of guys and at least one of them was some journalist who did some stuff for her. The cheating stuff isn't really important, the only reason it gets brought up is that it's where the shit started.

So you're saying gamergate is all cucks?

what started it was zoe quinn banging dudes behind her boyfriend's back and him making the whole thing public. what he didn't realize at the time, was that (at least)one of the 5 guys was a games journalist pumping out press about quinn's game without disclosing that he had an investment in her.

some assfuck random journos were revealed as corrupt so ((they)))) began pushing their agenda twice as hard, except everyone had already wised up and now the only people who still even bother thinking about it as if it isn't ancient history by this point are the triggered sjws that get their bullshit called out at every oppurtunity and the dumb journos who post stuff like "gaming is dead" and "meet the new diverse face of gaming!" but cry about not getting any views on their blogs

Fuck off outta here.
You and your merry band of faggots got found out and continued to dig your own grave because you can't just accept the fact you got busted for dodgy deals that everyone's known about for years, but never had any actual evidence of.

Why anybody would defend Polygon/Gawker/Sarkeesian and still feel like Sup Forums is a likeminded place is beyond me.

>there is a secret mailing list between journalists on "competing" websites but it's nothing you should just ignore it haha

>pumping out press
That's a rather exaggerated way of saying "it got mentioned together with about fifty other titles in a list of indie games once before they ever supposedly slept together"

Agreed, bro. I can't believe Sup Forums has been lost to the hoards of SJWs. It's over. Polygon won. We need to fight back right now!!!!

>but never had any actual evidence of.
And still don't. Would be rather hard in this case too because this one for sure didn't happen, and yet for some reason this is the hill you all chose to die on. Is it because it involved a woman cheating on someone? Is it the salacious scandalism of the whole affair that so captured your attention?

...

>Haha look I was "ironic" again mom!
At least we know what team you swing for considering Polygon was the name you plucked from that list.

>before they ever supposedly slept together
it doesn't matter when they fucked. it happened after they met.

Games journalists are allowed to meet with game developers, user. It's rather expected.

it's not expected to have sex with a person you're covering.

So, to the guy who wondered what gamergate did to ruin the internet, I submit what happened to this thread after his question as exhibit A.

it's also expected to say that they've met. reminder that the article in question got updated to say they knew each other at the time after gg blew up.

Who gives a fuck about Quinn when over 20 publications were running a narrative? You can try shifting the blame to misogyny all you want but it didn't work during GG and it won't work after it.

>It's rather expected.
It's rather expected that you disclose all financial/personal relations. It's kinda lesson two in journalism.

They got fucking played, man. Sargon has 700k subs now and rakes it the patreon bux when he can't even read.

>People won't swallow my narrative
>R-RUINED THE INTERNET

But then it matters again when they fucked.
>it's also expected to say that they've met.
Not really. Can't imagine the point.
>reminder that the article in question got updated to say they knew each other at the time after gg blew up.
Yes, in the hopes you dishonest idiots would be satisfied after you got what you ostensibly asked for and lay off the poor woman who didn't even have the professional obligation to prevent the appearance of impropriety, but of course the reality was that you wanted to see blood and wouldn't rest until all your demands were met, no matter how unreasonable.

>>it's also expected to say that they've met.
>Not really. Can't imagine the point.
confirmed games journalist

leave

My life got a lot better after quitting Sup Forums. I browse a different board most often now, have been putting time into honing my art, got a job, have working relationships with the people around me, and learned how to smile.

>wanting people to disclose whether or not they have a relationship with someone they're writing about is unreasonable

>Not really. Can't imagine the point.
You can't argue to be taken seriously as journalists for almost a decade and then cry "who cares" when you start getting put under the same guidelines.
>The poor woman
Fuck off

>Who gives a fuck about Quinn when over 20 publications were running a narrative?
You mean linking to one or two articles which happened to be very relevant to gamergate. Gee, wonder why that was news at the time, eh? It's like, I dunno, shooting up a pizza parlour and then wondering why all the media attention is about the shooting and not about the child sex trafficking ring in the secret basement.

The same thing I always do. Nothing in particular. I'm not stupid enough to blame this place for my life's woes, because that's completely untrue and all the spineless cunts that can't "quit Sup Forums" need to face the reality of their idiocy.

>t. gafugee

No, wanting to see people fired and publications shut down over a scandal that didn't actually happen is unreasonable.

>He believes Pizzagate
Not surprising from a faGGot. By all means, derail this thread into Pizzagate faggotry with your "evidence". That will show me.

you just said that he admitted it happened though

It's exactly what Sup Forums likes to accuse Anita of but it's okay when /ourguy/ does it I guess. Gamergate's motto right there.

Sup, gaffer? Molest any women recently?

Neogaffers don't like it but they wanna hide behind a "normal Sup Forums user" mask thus resulting in nu-Sup Forums

Truth is gg was a conflict that would naturally occurr sooner or later, everyone knows how the news media outlets pushes 'progressive' crap and a boiling point would be reached regardless of zoe shenanigans, gg merely went on a witch hunt and found the rabbit hole.

Are you trying to gaslight me or something? You know I can just scroll up?

he's posting retarded pepe with a fedora
come on user

Quinn's loose thread opened up to the collaboration between those publications. She became irrelevant the moment that thread got pulled.

>Still trying this hard to link it back to misogyny
Let it go. Or is there a
>narrative
That would benefit from you being able to sway that angle?

I'd probably kms. This world is overly PC now and Sup Forums is the only place I can actually have fun and be myself and say what I actually think.

Sometimes the truth is fucked up, and so by extension your opinion is less than PC.

Plus the discussion here is much more interesting than elsewhere, and not overly robotic and stale.

>reminder that the article in question got updated to say they knew each other at the time after gg blew up.
>Yes
No amount of buzzwords will save you from your own posts.

Cant really say this place adds much to my life anyway. Sure im here but its a habit at this point. Most people are pretty fucknig empty anyway on these forums so it would be even probably for the best if i left this shithole one day. Would probably read more, partially started with it again, same shit in grey with less retardation and kill yourself bs. But im now here so whatever, not like a give a fuck

This. ZQ was just the tipping point.

There was no collaboration, you idiot. You think games publications didn't find out about those articles as soon as you did?

>literally photos of her sitting in the bar with those people drinking and taking selfies
>nope, none at all

Holy fucking shit

What do you think this is about? It never was about denying they ever met. That is not the scandal. That is not a scandal under any circumstances.

>There was no collaboration, you idiot
Yeah it's just a coincidence that a bunch of identical articles went up in the same hour and all of the publications involved were on a private mailing list to each other and were pushing the same narratives.

>Dante Must Die mode: No cripplechan.
/fit/, Sup Forums, /k/, and /out/

Zoe got Trump elected

>GG ruined the internet

>retarded pepe

>It never was about denying they ever met
Yes it was, nobody gives a shit about the stupid cheating shit. Anyone who brings it up or tries to shift the topic to that poor womyn :((( is just trying to deflect attention from the actual problem.

I only come to Sup Forums while waiting for threads I care about on boards I actually like to be active

I want to fuck that donut

and then eat it

You're conflating two different narratives here. Ironic because literally one post up in the chain someone was claiming that Zoe Quinn became entirely irrelevant. I'm assuming it wasn't you because even a gamergate wouldn't be so dishonest as to pretend to have the memory of a goldfish.

>Yeah it's just a coincidence that a bunch of identical articles went up in the same hour
Try over the course of several days, with most of them barely containing anything more than a brief summary of the original article they linked, which, again, was highly relevant at the time.
>all of the publications involved were on a private mailing list to each other
Most of them actually weren't, that's the real cherry on top of this retarded conspiracy shitcake.

I'm just glad the average faGGot admits now that it was just an excuse to have their shitty political wars. It wasn't about journalistic integrity, it's about MUH SJWS!!!!

That's all this shit is. People wanting to fight about politics because they're offended by politics that oppose them. SJWs and Sup Forumstards can both fuck off, as far as I'm concerned. I just want to talk about vidya.

She became irrelevant as a person as well as her misdeeds, what became relevant was the corruption of "gaming journalism" that it exposed. The two are not mutually exclusive. What she did and whom she glassed after that tip from her former "boyfriend" became completely irrelevant.

goddamn gamergate was such a cringefest

Glad to see all your posts are boiling down to now are
>Pathetic pseudo-intellectual insults
>Fingers in ears "nuh-uh"

How many of you queers legitimately care about games journalism?

>normalperson.jpeg

>been here for 10 years now
>most of the time leave Sup Forums open even if not actively using it

I don't know where I would go honestly. I'd keep playing video games I know that much

>Yes it was
Why bother trying to catch me in my own words when you're just going to make them up for me?

Again, games journalists can be expected to have personally met a great number of game devs. They go to public events, they go to press-only things, they make a point of talking to game devs all the time. It's not worth mentioning.

So yes, it always was about the cheating shit because that goes beyond the relation you can expect to exist between journalist and game dev. But as it turned out it happened after the (very meagre) coverage of Zoe's game, and publications can hardly be required to predict the future.

I love that image
>If you're not in love with my political opinion, you're secretly the strawman of the opposing political opinion
Sup Forumstards love using this argument. SJWs love using this argument too. Hmm, just a weird coincidence, I'm sure.

I do now that publishers and devs actually listen to these bandwagoning tryhards that only jumped on gaming post 2007 when it became cool.

>it's about the cheating
Fuck off already nobody in this thread's buying it except you.

i don't simply because they've given me decades of reasons not to. i wish games journalism was something i cared about though.

>what became relevant was the corruption of "gaming journalism" that it exposed
Which was as fake as any scandal surrounding Zoe herself.
I'm assuming you only read my response to your post, which means you're goldfish guy who couldn't bother to follow one link back to the post I was replying to before. If you actually read the full post then I suppose you're just displaying more of your incredible reading comprehension.

>zoe went back in time to 2010 and caused the democratic party to lose over 1000 state and national seats in the next six years mostly due to a weak response to a jobless recovery, while at the same time depressing turnout in 2016 with a roundly disliked candidate and a campaign team run by retards who thought they should spend all their ad money in los angeles because a computer told them to
damn she is more powerful than i could ever imagine

I don't, now that it is all garbage.
>I will never again crack open a fresh egm

Don't get too triggered, gaffy.

>I'm assuming you're the goldfish guy
Nope. Only thing fake here is your narrative.

there's no reason to pretend that gg didn't have a bit of a butterfly effect on the political climate of the internet

>Fuck off already nobody in this thread's buying it except you.
That was literally the whole thing. Merely knowing a game dev isn't a big deal at all. It's only when the relation exceeds the standards of propriety that it becomes worth mentioning. I'm glad that you abandoned your original indefensible position but you only traded it for another one.
