Well, I recently was talking to some people, one thing lead to another, and I ended up getting a chance to talk to a member of the old 4chan moderation team. (inb4 "My uncle works at Nintendo!" If you think I'm bullshiting, I understand, you can ignore me. Make of this what you will.) So I talked with him a bit over Skype, and he told me a few things that, after getting his OK. I'll pass on to you First thing, that Id/ mod? Everything he said was completely true. However, the guy I talked to thinks it was too different gods posing as one. To clarify, everything they said was true,but it was two different guys using proxies to keep the heat off of each other. You might be thinking "Well why would they care about that?" Because some of the gods weren't completely anonymous, they talked and socialized, and personal information got passed around. They honestly fear that if they were outed then some of their information would 'leak out' as a way of revenge. It's happened before where a mod doesn't like another and passes information out to the userbase, who find more and then freak the f--- out. Thus, D gods 1 & 2 used proxies and decided to impersonate one single person as a safety precaution so some SJW mod couldn't track them down easily and leak information as revenge Second thing he told me is that m00tykins honestly doesn't care about 4chan. Not even in the 'He hates it" way. m00tykins wants to keep the site running, because both it made him famous and prints money from the thousands of /b/tards who don't know what adblock is. However, m00tykins also hates the stigma 4chan has, and the fact that he can't branch out to something more 'normal. Not successfully at least. To sum up, he wants to make the next Reddit. So naturally, he's conflicted. Keeping 4chan makes him relevant and prints money, but it doesn't let him do stuff he wants to and makes him look like a retard. He's just tired of it, and if there was a way he could silently close everything and still get money, he would. Because of this, he has pretty much left 4chan to the devices of the gods. Guy talked to said he thinks m00tykins gave the statement he did because the gods pestered him to. Likely, he doesn't know nor give two s---- about 'Gamergate', and just said what he did because the gods told him Anonymous 09/18/14 (Thu) 22:05:12 ID: 123b4 No.13924 13931 13913 (OP) Next, he told me about the gods. As mainly focused on one of the slower boards, he didn't need to worry about the SJWshit that affected other gods and determined whether they got the boot or not. Well the guy got to see the new batch. And, like D Mod 1 says, they were complete and utter SJWs. Not blatantly though, at least, not in the Tumblr manner. On the surface, they just seemed like any other mod, but it was their actions that outed them. Someone was banned for saying "N-----". When someone asked the mod who did it why, they reasoned that "Keep /pol/ in /pol", and a few of the newer gods agreed with him. In short, they were subtle, but f------ extreme. They knew if they unloaded a bunch of s--- at once, they'd get outed and booted. So they just took small victories, and collected them up into a snowball. Soon justifications grew into "Well we banned a guy before for doing X, therefore we're good with Y" after Dashcon the of gods. The guy I talked to was NOT tossed out, since he had remained indifferent during that time. He didn't actively take a side, but since he was a mod who The guy told me he quit back in early August, way before D Mod 1 posted their side of the story. He quit because the new gods insufferable. There were always a few insufferable c---- on the 4chan mod staff, I'm sure /tg/ and /co/ are well f that, but now they were the majority. Where the the in almost all the boards. N thing I'm sure ering "How did the SJW gods get ID: 123b4 No.13931 1407 14245 Anonymous 09/18/14 (Thu) Nepotism The few SJW gods nudged their friends and recommended them. They got their broom and hot pockets. You've got a healthy mix of Janitors and gods that are SJWs, largely from nepotism. It's that f-- Apparently most of the gods/janitors who the to im, sick of those gu lea if the other large boa ady haven't. And this, likely in turn, will just let more SJWs in. 4chan was infilt guys, but now, with the s that this is their bi gu to bolder. /v/, /b/ latively untouched by them because the so f------ bi guy hutting down Game and getting m00tykins to give them an OK, they've now got One last thing, /pol/?

Gamergate (harassment campaign) Article Talk From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For other uses, see Gamergate (disambiguation). Gamergate or GamerGate (GG)[¹] was a loosely organized misogynistic online harassment campaign and a right-wing backlash against feminism, diversity, and progressivism in video game culture. [2][³] It was conducted using the hashtag "#Gamergate" primarily in 2014 and 2015.[1][4][5][6] Beginning in August 2014, Gamergate targeted women in the video game industry, most notably feminist media critic Anita Sarkeesian and video game developers Zoë Quinn and Brianna Wu, among others.[7][8][9][10][11] The harassment campaign included doxing, r--- threats, and death threats.[12][13][14] Gamergate proponents ("Gamergaters") stated that they were a social movement, but lacked well-defined goals, a coherent message, and leaders, making Gamergate difficult to define.[15][16][17] Gamergaters claimed to promote ethics in video games journalism, claimed to be protecting the "gamer" identity, and opposed what they asserted as "political correctness" in video games.[18][19][20][21][22] Read Date Target Gamergate, online harassment campaign in 2014-15 that targeted women in the video game industry. The attacks were attributed largely to white male right-wing gamers who railed against the rise and influence of women and feminism in the industry. Gamergate served as a recruiting tool for the growing alt-right movement and helped spur the online “Pizzagate" conspiracy theory, which soon spawned the wider QAnon conspiracy movement. …………………………....…..……….….....

[2][36] Gamergate led figures both inside and outside the gaming industry to focus on methods of addressing online harassment, ways to minimize harm, and prevent similar events.

X Journalists would make claims of people like Anita Sarkeesian "playing video games all her life" when she openly admitted many times she is not a gamer and only starter recently (when it wasn't for an interview). Various developers trading sex or money for good reviews got exposed, journalists who accepted got exposed. People became a bit more critical about supporting a game just because the developer has a victim complex stating tat their game could have only failed because of sexism, instead of their own poor developing skills. What really sealed the deal was opposition often faking their own harassment. Anita sarkeesian and Zoe Quinn have been caught multiple times screenshotting "harassment" while showing that the harrasser's account name in the login. Or when someone called the police to help Sarkeesian against a "very real threat" she was posting about, only for police to find the harasser's messages were coming from her IP address. I just want honesty from the community, and the lies were mostly exposed by the "dreaded" gamergate. 1.3K views • View upvotes 26
