#gamergate megathread

I don't understand what you're trying to tell me.

It's not a problem for games to include more diversity in characters
It's a problem when the diversity is forced in alongside a heaping spoonful of "gamers are stuffheads" articles

Apparently I don't have a full understanding of this event then. I'll be back after I do some research.

And yet, neither side actually cares about gameplay. Every forget involved in this conflict of interest only seems to care about the meta game and calling other people out.

It makes me feel loving sick when I see people in this whole #GamerGate business go on a loving lazer-guided tangent, believe that if they bitch about games which aren't just the same loving 6 types of shooter that most games are, they'll somehow make this industry better.

I get loving stress attacks over this stuff.

When people talk about games, they're usually full of bullstuff. lol

I was pretty shocked when I saw this on a Spanish New's channel talking about #gamergate as one of there 4-5 min quick news stories I was like this is the least place I thought this would show up although they were showing the feminational socialist side only.

I see some points, however there are legitimate issues within the gaming industry when it comes to catering to teenage male gamers.

Did any of you watch a single one of the videos I posted?

Was it a requirement to posting in this megathread, my liege?

Long before you posted them. I normally like InternetAristocrat, but the fact of the matter is that here, he's clearly out of his element.

I mean, I respect that he doesn't want corruption within Games "Journalism". That's an okay endeavour to follow-up on. It's just that everything said about video games from him and other people in the industry is absolute trife. There are no educated opinions discussing games, it's just a bunch of people who are upset that games don't have to be shooters and can actually have deeper meaning.

Both sides are loving handicapped
#GG side:
bigots, starfishs, antifeminists, misogynists, conspiratards

SJW side:
conniving, shady, seedy people, using weird methods to get what they want, likely creating situations where they are the victim (like the sarkeesian police report, wizardchan, etc)
also promoting their games illegitimately

Because if you don't agree with shady feminist practices means you hate women!

The #GamerGate side has protested against far more than shady journalism and bias. You would have to be blind or an idiot to not see this.

i'm not saying everyone on each side is this way. some people on the gamergate side have legitimate complaints about this scandal. some of the people on the SJW side are misinformed about the antics of zoe quinn and anita. i support the gamergate side. but there are a ton of misogynists/anti feminists on the gamergate side (see: all of 4chan)
