Gonzo-nyan | 3 minutes ago ust because it's not forbidden doesn't entail that it is a good thing to do because that puts forth a huge bias towards the journalist's part. >Why don't we focus on issues with the industry that are actually important, like post-launch embargoes, micro-transactions and diversity in games characters (because playing as a gruff 30-year-old American dude driven by revenge gets quite old)? Um, dummy, that's what GG is about too. Goes to show you've barely even researched further into it.... Unlike all of the obvious review embargoes, such as the Shadows of Mordor? And also what Ubisoft is currently doing with AC Unity's review scores on Metacritic? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xobw6yWS85k Edit Com-to-Com Delete Report 12 minutes ago Yes... which is why I said it is not a good idea to do so. The only difference is that, no, it is not forbidden, and yes, it is a thing that happens in all industries because human beings like to have friends. People freaking out about this is mind-numbingly stupid to me because it does not even matter that much. Why don't we focus on issues with the industry that are actually important, like post-launch embargoes, micro-transactions and diversity in games characters (because playing as a gruff 30-year-old American dude driven by revenge gets quite old) ? >Because once one incident like this happens, more will crop up over the course of a year and will make it even more toxic. Nice slippery slope fallacy,お兄ちゃん. Reply Com-to-Com Delete Report Gonzo-nyan | 21 minutes ago Who cares does not cut it as an answer. And yes it does matter, apparently you didn't bother watching the video since it's clear that a journalist forming a relationship with the person they are reporting is like "walking on thin ice." What it all comes down to is bias, and how this person just flat out recommends his friend's game. Now, this isn't just us campaigning against that action, it's about what the industry will devolve into if this stuff keeps happening. Because once one incident like this happens, more will crop up over the course of a year and will make it even more toxic. All I can hear out of your excuses is just pure nonsensical apathy. Whether you think Kotaku is the worst gaming site or not, doesn't matter because it's the biggest gaming site on the internet, at least one of. And if we just sit back and just apathetically let more of these things happening, it's going to be a huge embarrassment to gaming as a whole Com-to-Com Delete Report

NOTHING HAS F------ CHANGED 10
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. [37] [38] [39] [40] Gamergate has been viewed as a contributor to the alt-right and other right- wing movements.[21][41] Video game developer Brianna Wu

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
