That's some but I'm trying to figure out how she got this to happen two weeks after gamergate. Yes money plays a part, but how in the world did she score the interview?

Anyway news:

Shady game makes shady claims (KiA link)

What made them re-ignite the flames of war again?
Especially this late into the game, and pretty much with no provocation?

WHO and the UN are SJW tools. They are their desperate measure. When something can't be shamed into submission it is attacked through bureaucracy and legislation. Just remember that the WHO tried to put health warnings in meat products because they allegedly cause cancer and are "as bad as tobacco". They even considered a bacon ban. And I am sure that had something to do with SJWs, vegan SJWs in particular.

If they tried that, there would be a glassy crater where the UN Assembly Building was.

I wish that was the case. The WHO really intended to ban bacon and tried to put a warning label in red meats similar to that on tobacco products. They failed because even though their "experts" claimed red meats were as bad as tobacco people didn't care, even joked about preferring to die of cancer than live in a world without bacon. The WHO lost a lot of credibility because of that. Many noticed there were political implications in their stance and ignored their statements.

She realy makes me wish for something bad to happen to her. Dunno, something like being raped and killed by a somali pirate or a meteor to strike her right in between her sickening eyes. I swear the more she does, the more I wish for something terrible to befall upon her. At first I tried to ignore her, but she has done so many horrible things the only fate I find fair for her is her being expunged from this universe in a way so painful only an eldritch horror could cause it.

Now, let us not get violent
We are better than that

Let her just be rightfully and legally punished for all of her crimes with a proper sentence

Well. No one should make what I hope happen. But certainly I would not feel even remotely upset if something really horrible happened to her. Not only she is a fraud, she has taken money which could be put to a better use, made government agencies waste time on false accusations, widened the divide between men and women, and is one of the primary causes of some of the blights the gaming industry faces nowadays.

She is absolutely evil. She is worse than Jack Thompson. At least Jack Thompson acted with honor and compelled to protect children. Anita Sarkeesian seeks only personal gain and the success of some twisted personal vendetta against men.

I really feel a disdain for her which has no words to be described. Sh has wronged so many innocent people and spread so many lies. She is the incarnation of the worst the left could offer to the world.

Most of you would not approve violence, but when you face someone so vile and hateful, it is obvious the most emotional among you would feel pleased if something bad happened to her. If these people advocate for violence to be enacted by their own upon their opponents who caused no harm, I have at least the right to hope a cosmic force beyond my control would bring them a deserved punishment for their vile deeds which have caused harm.

Feminism, and postmodern leftism in general, are a cancer to society.

From the Quinn piece:

Your arguments aren’t worth engaging in when you’re so hyperfixated on the act of debate itself that you have zero interest in the realities of what you’re asking for and how they might affect other people.

>your arguments aren't worth engaging in

Then why are you making a response to it? And how would they affect other people? What exactly are the realities of what the person is asking for?

This still here? Is GamerGate still relevant, or has it transformed into a neo-right movement against feminism and the humanities?

If so, can someone give me a quick update on the overall movement? Any lobbying done? Organizations created? Funds established?

The WHO lost a lot of credibility because of that.

I kinda doubt it. The World Health Organization isn't going to fall out of favor. It's the world's premier public health organization. The next would be the CDC. I don't think anything else comes close in funds, resources, and influence.

If you're asking for either one to close or drastically change, then I can assure you the world would suffer. The public health campaigns and public health for both are too wide ranging. A stance on bacon, even a premature one (because let's be real: bacon isn't healthy even if it's not tobacco), isn't going to make a nick on WHO's credibility. Unless you have a poll or information on funding they lost because of the event?

@Verbose
With all due respect Dear Moderator, GamerGate is still being discussed as a boogyman of feminism, equality, and enemy whatever re-defined term of morally selective "good". However since it's not published by games journalism, but rather Twitter feeds, Tumblr blogs and Passing in mainstream journalism without definition it's a grey area to post it here.

The motto of Trust But Verify is still ongoing and a recent development (See the Berkeley Milo Riots/Antifa) has taken the spot light in major GG discussion. As these events have little to nothing to do with ethics in games journalism or the resistance against identity politics, they haven't been reported here due to fear of irrelevancy, and thus thread locking. Since fresh details are coming in (stories of self admittance from the Antifa Crowd, shadowbanning on twitter, censorship of free speech) again with the focus of not being directly about games journalism there's not much to report.

As for updates? The only major thing that I'm aware of currently is the Calgary Expo debacle finally coming to trial. (Legal action is a slow process that can span a year or two)There was funding for the Honey badgers recently (a few weeks ago) to get the witness's flown out for the case as the previous funding was used to deal with extra legal work done by the Expo to try and get the case thrown out. Right now more interviews with the honey badgers are being released to the public via Youtube to help distribute the facts of the publicly available information to clarify bias for anyone observing the case. (I think that's the intent. Not 100% sure)

Anyway news somewhat related:

Ethics in Gaming:
Fifa Youtuber ran Illegal gambling site and didn't think it was against the law

CSGO player banned for 1000 years for being a predator (blame on Gamergate is happening in Tumblr and Twittersphere but legitimacy of those comments cannot be verified because social media is nebulous for lack of a better word.)

Kia links 2 links 2 links: More academic papers on the evils of gamergate

And Rubin report mentions gamergate when talking about free speech conflict:

There's probably more to come!

@Verbose

You say it as if being against feminism and the humanities was a bad thing. As a former mysandrist and borderline SJW, I can tell you feminism has widened the divide between men and women to the point that they no longer tolerate or trust each other. It spreads vile lies that make women hate men and therefore make men hate women in return. It is so toxic it kicked all the sane ones within the movement out.

And I also consider myself capable of telling you that being against the humanities is actually being for the true humanities. I took a major in literature during college, I saw how the humanities, once a source of intellectual enrichment and inspiration, became an endogamic nest of pseudo intellectual thought and people. I saw how they willingly accepted as facts things which contradicted what the natural sciences proved. I saw how they pushed to bring down science in favor of dogma.

They create nothing new nor inspire the birth of anything new, for they regurgitate what a bunch of dogmatic authorities put in their mind. They slowly begin to reject old school thinkers which favored logic and science, instead focusing on postmodern pseudo intellectual who claim everything is true or that the personal is political. They reject any thinker that could contradict their worldview as they gayly adopt all the Frankfurt School thinkers as some sort of pantheon of prophets for their dogma.

Few humanities are still capable of thinking outside such twisted, anti intellectual, intellectually dishonest, stagnant, endogamic, unscientific, unrealistic, dogmatic views. And those which are capable of some sort of intellectual thought do not remain untouched by the corruption of identity politics. I saw how linguistics, one of the fields mostly free of such madness due to its scientific nature, struggled to resist the nonsense of made up pronouns and grammatically inaccurate speech patterns designed to appease the politically correct.

Right now being against the humanities is all you can do to save the humanities before they degenerate any further into the "Everything is true, anything goes" madness they have become.

Now, on the WHO, it might seem to be the most influential and well funded source regarding health. But that does not mean it is free of idiots Remember they declared any man above the age of 25 without children of his own disabled. They also overreacted to the swine flu cases earlier this decade, which is when they lost all credibility for me after making a large amount of the world's population blow things out of proportion and react as if it was a real pandemic on the scale of the Spanish Flu. If you still think their credibility has not been undermined by their own actions I hope someday we will meet in a parking lot so I can park on the spot assigned to disabled people right before your eyes.

And if you think closing, deleting, or otherwise purging this thread or its users will be enough to stop the anti SJW movement, you are terribly mistaken. What you will achieve will be similar to what ostriches are falsely accused of doing, bury your head on the ground and refusing to see what is right before your eyes.

Right now the anti SJW movement is growing more than never. From scientists tired of not being allowed to make research or objective statements regarding race and gender to average joes tired of identity politics and being called bigots for no reason, we are a large, intellectually diverse, and extremely capable community which is strong enough to change the course of history if desired.

Proof of that is that Trump won. Probably many in this thread don't like him. But he won because the average American citizen, tired of identity politics and being called bigot voted for him, Because the average American straight white male tiered of being bashed voted for the man who offered to end such plight, because many anti SJWs voted for him just to spite their opponents. And so the man whose reputation could be soiled no further for he feels no shame won.

And if you need further proof of the failure of SJWs and identity politics take a look at all those failed pet projects they produced. Look at how Marvel saw a drop so terrible in comic book sales that they decided to pull out all that nonsense and go back to tell superhero stories, look at how angry the Fire Emblem player base was with the horrible localization done by Treehouse.

You think you are strong, and have the advantage because you have a monopoly on academia and media, but that means nothing. People are tired of SJW nonsense and are saying enough.

I would not be as pretentious to say we are on the right side of history, unlike most SJWs out there, but what I know is that we are not going to let you win without putting a fight, and even if you kick us from every social media and internet forum out there, we will keep on fighting, because there is a world beyond that screen, a world away from the keyboard, a world full of people tired of your nonsense and unwilling to give in.

And my prediction is that paraphrasing God Emperor President of the United States Donald J. Trump. We will keep on winning and winning until we grow tired of it. And when we feel like we won too much, we will not stop and will keep on winning again.

You might try to end the ride, but the ride never ends baby, and this is just the beginning.

Okay let's cut the Verbose drama and continue focus on GamerGate topics like we normally do before someone like Rivers would break it up again like he did with the HolyCrapItsBob drama. If he really is threatening to purge the GamerGate thread, just contact a mod.

Anyways…

Gawker confirmed that GamerGate has cost them over millions of dollars submitted by Jacob Weindling of Paste.

All conjecture being passed as news. So solid ethics in journalism for that one.

And it looks like twitter celebs are getting upset that E3 is going public

The last one is a bit of a stretch since it's a games journalism talking about the perception of a major gaming event. But hey ethics and complaints so… I took a shot.

what does E3 going public even mean?

This it means E3 tickets will be available for public purchase instead of being just a press invite event. As a result some journalists are livid that commoners are alowed into their safe space of riddicule.

I've been resistant to believe that gaming and tech journalists actually despise the consumers and what's supposed to be their audience, but this makes me think otherwise.

Personal recount

I iterate: Trust but verify. All is my recount, with, as far as I know, no other side to this story. So telling if it happened or not is impossible to prove.

I was recently at a party where, in passing conversation, it was recommended that the book "Why Does He Do That" by Lundy Bancroft be used to explain the psyche and diseased mindset of a #Gamergate supporter and how do deal with it. Luckly a female (Cisgender and of a considered oppressed demographic) went "Well I support GG because they're doing what they've been claiming…" and there was a spat. It kinda shut it down for being bigoted against those that identify as male, simply because it was proven that the belief that GG is oppression against women has no proof and the fight for ethics was proven time and time again. (Hulkmania! Whooo!) There was more to the party pertaining to wage gap statistics (a dad's 12 yr-old son was talking about how percentage problems didn't make sense in a math class and that was the question he referenced.) and other nonsensical dogma in the classroom, but that doesn't apply here.

What worries me is that the delusion continues here (Bay area, California) to the point where people are recommending the wrong material to treat a problem that doesn't exist. Recommending a book to deal with male abusers against "Cis white male Gamergaters" is going to make the reader try to apply that any Gamergate supporter on the belief that the supporter is an abuser of women by assumption. I just hope that this isn't widespread and pertains to the extremists that wish to listen and believe.

Why does this apply? It's resistance against identity politics (only while males are gamergaters) and directly relates to #Gamergate in it's perception with the culture where I am at. The meme is still kicking like a terrible nightmare some people do not want confronted.

In regards to the Kuchera tweet's it's cute that he thinks Trump got in because of gaming. After all, it had to be gamers and gamergaters. Not like you had American's that chose him because he wasn't Hillary or appealing to them, oh wait, yeah there are other reasons Trump won.The only reason someone like him would use GamerGate is because it's just a boogeyman for him to use.

Anyway Ethics in Gaming Journalism:

The Guardian continues to push their narrative on acceptable dating sim games Specifically the ones that have ties in the industry.

News:

Gamedropped by Paul Feig . Apparently Gamergate was active before march 2014 (Gamergate was August 2014) by his measure of time. Sarcasm That's right, Gamergate, before inception, was actively working in the shadows against Ghostbusters 2016. End sarcasm

PewDiePie, a youtuber with 53mil subscribers got his funding pulled from Maker due to a Wall Street Journal hit piece making him out to be a Nazi by taking his footage out of context. (He was testing fiver by making people do crazy things like hold up signs) about 20 other journals reported on this, and the three journalists involved in writing the piece are celebrating Kia link.

There's even doubling down on people who explain what's wrong with the attack on PewDiePie

(Reason: Ethics on Videogames journalism and the gamers that play them. WSJ is doing games journalism now.)

Holy shit. The juggernaut of fake narratives is about to be successfully sued.

Possible precedent for lowered malicious intent standards. This is a change that could kill all unethical reporting. No more writing garbage about video games because the devs could easily turn unprofessional behaviour into clear intent to harm the game (and honestly how else you could interpret an individual calling games or devs misogynist or a "journalist" failing to even play a game because they can't stop writing or thinking about themselves?)

I hope this isn't fake what with CNN heavily pushing the "gamergate is misogynist angle" and them proving how broken their priorities are during and after the U.S election.

He will get so redpilled he will be the next JonTron or even the next Sargon soon. This just proves mainstream media is against truth and anything that could defy their narratives and agendas.
They see a threat in ever independent content creator, they see a liability in every success story not made up by them. If you prove you can succeed in capitalist societies on your own by doing what you like without the need of especial contacts or organizations you become a threat to them.
