SO yeah, this happend NBC actually made this and essentially labeled gamers as neo-nazis.
this shit disgusts me beyond words.

Ah, the Mainstream Media, the paragons of lacking journalistic integrity. How would we ever get by without it's extremely non-accurate coverage and reporting?

(Must be a slow news cycle if NBC has to put utter garbage like this out and peddle it as factual information.)

really makes you think

This is basically hate speech, and yet YouTube doesn't even lift it's appendix to remove this video.

that call of duty footage at the end
who plays call of duty that bad
jesus

What if I choose the Red Army side in a given game? Would I then be held responsible for the rise of communism? Also, are Wolfenstein 2 players nazis too, now?

GamerGate did nothing wrong.

Was almost quaint to see all these dead horses get dragged out for another beating, The Jack Thompson-esque bullshit at the end, the Hitler ate sugar fallacy around discord, "Gaming has always been sexist and racist", tweets directed at Sarkeesian from a single account, framed like it's multiple, with the GG hashtag photoshopped above it, when it was never on the original tweets.
Oh wait that's a new one, yeah, that one account that Anita fairly suspiciously got a screenshot of the last tweet the account made, ten seconds after it was made, while she wasn't logged into her account. Never even had the hashtag on it, and NBC unquestionably presented it like it did, literally fake news.
Appropriate they would trod the boogeyman out for Halloween.

I'm not even upset, because how can you possible be this unfathomably stupid?

Honestly.
Whoever made this is just wasting the times of everybody involved.
The obvious attention-seeking nature of the claims are just ludicrous.

Unfortunately for us, some are that unfathomably stupid. Those journos probably know this and are counting on those dingus to add fuel to this dumpster fire through social media.

>discord mention
Yup that Micro$hill paycheck must have dropped sometime last week

I really miss the times before anti-racism wasn't used by greedy corporation to mass produce clickbait but it has been so long since then…

Well then… there goes another news network I can't take seriously if they output this dribble to garner attention from the extreme left and the alt right. A journalist isn't supposed to output their opinions to the masses, they are supposed to stay neutral while only observing and documenting NOT interacting and showing their beliefs in their works. Also what's with this whole thing being brought up again saying violent video games makes you violent? Are they trying to alienate gamers even more than they already are trying to?

I'm done with this BS.

…wow, not even in the worst of KiA's member's most deluded conspiracy fantasies did I see this one coming.

EDIT: As a disclaimer I do like them when they're sane; but some of them just got way too far into the MGS-style conspiracies and that one left a bit of a mark. The whole Digra thing got hilarious sometimes.

They must have had some leftover Halloween candy from last year. Shuffled it into the current candy pile and hoped nobody would notice

I know we should just be used to being punching bags for old media to bitch about but this is still ridiculous.

I thought Jack Thompson was officially declared a waste of flesh.

>Claims gamergate lead to the alt right & dontard trump getting elected
>I guess they herded of the TFYC Fundraiser

Bing Bing Whitepower YA WA Yippee!

Truly I am racist gamer scum that gave the neo-nazis a voice, even though I played Wolfenstein. In all honesty, this is just clickbait in a different format. If they really think GamerGate is why Trump got in office, that's literally the most exceptional thing to claim. That may as well mean every single person voting for our American overlord must be some gamergator.

here we go again

You would think with the money EA and other compaines are making off of selling pieces of games indivisually that they would use some of it to prevent something like this.

Imagine:

"Vote for me, or else you'll look like a GamerGator."
- The Hillary Clinton Campaign, 2016

Instant victory.

Please do not jinx it. I can see it already.

"2020 Vote for Hillary Clinton, or else you are a deplorable white GooberGater nazi scum™. And our supporters will dox you, get you fired, harass your families including that squirrel in your front yard."

One word about a company doing something like that gets out and the industry implodes overnight.

Lol ive seen stupid bullshit like this since I was 8 years old. Honestly how am I suppose to be upset at this tired over played bullshit anymore?

Y'know, actually reading the article, it says that Discord has become sullied by the presence of Neo-Nazis and other alt-right white supremacists.

How is this not right? I know of a YouTube gamer that left Discord because of the Neo-Nazis ruining the gaming community (he focuses on Twitch App now).

Now that I think of it, OP is the clickbait artist.

Are you retarded

Discord is simply a program, a tool. Do people think Skype or WhatsApp or whatever is "sullied" because of some of the people that use it? What about other communication methods, like cell phone service provided by AT&T or Verizon? Hell, what about operating systems? Is Windows sullied? Because I'm sure there are plenty of bigots that utilize it.

You shouldn't blame an entire userbase because of a few twits.

I actually am, jackass.
Got anything useful to say?

Jack Thompson… is that you?

I thought we got over this horse shit in 2014. There was a whole…internet war over this. Forget beating a dead horse, they're beating the bag of dog food that it got turned into!

Like I said… wasn't he already declared a miserable failure?

Ideas even really bad ideas never truly die, just look at the nazis.
