lovely Wizard posted:Yeah this shows that approaching the advertiser's as well as the owners of the sites (if the shitheads are not in fact the owners of the site) is the best approach. Since I'm on a roll here's another prediction for you: One of them will turn on the others to "expose" them for personal gain or to save themselves. At the moment they're riding high on self-righteousness and unfounded self-importance, but when it comes time to pay the piper none of these easily malleable turds have what it takes to not roll over and stand together as a group. Inevitably, someone will post a memoir, a reshaping of facts, or some other type of diatribe that splits their currently enjoyed solidarity and the whole thing will come crumbling down as they turn on each other like the pack of opportunistic dogs they are.

So serious discussion time...What is going to happen after the advertisers cuff the ears of the errant keyboard warrior bloggers? I'm guessing Zoe will have a comfortable amount of money to live on for a while but will be relegated back to the sad fatpile of indie devs she crawled out of, and will spend the rest of her time trying to stir up controversy about women's rights while getting slammed by guys with greasy hair but unable to break into any sort of legitimacy or have anyone other than a very small group of Twitter people take her seriously. Nathan Grayson will either get fired, or put on serious probationary term and cry at his desk. Phil Fish will keep holding Fez 2 over the heads of his loyal fanbase, commit suicide a few times a month, and be hacked again by Phil Fish. Anita will return to her house and pretty much has no real reason to not continue on her current path of making mad bucks off really angry dudes with her mediocre youtube videos. Occasionally she will take a death threat seriously when it seems like attention on her videos might wane. Sometimes she makes good points about ladies, other times it's 'Why isn't Princhess Peach dressed in overalls?' Adam Baldwin will continue to troll SJWs and lie-berals Dobson will make a bad comic about how THE GIRLS WIN, DEAL WITH IT with his blue bear character making an angry Dreamworks face

All of us who have hated on Quinn and her SJW crew will realize that we are indeed worse than ISIS and the KKK put together (somehow?) and we will change our ways.

Gamesnosh, one of the original sites to post an article, and ended up having their entire website taken completely offline by their host after complaints, has posted another article. http://gamesnosh.com/gamergate-silly-sounding-sincere-call-fair-representation-gamers-within-media/ Anyone who's been following will know most of what's in it, as it's mostly a recap, but it included this Twitter exchange of anti-gamer journalist incorrectly trying to correct someone's usage of "your" and "it's":

The Brown Menace posted:also reminder that one of the counter-arguments on the up-and-up about how poo poo games journalism is is "lol who cares it's just video games" which was literally the first counter-argument to SJW types when they first arrived, several years and billions of dollars in growth in the gaming industry (and the attached games journalism industry) before this whole thing

How do you write about games for a loving LIVING and accuse people of caring too much about games That's kind of a double edged sword especially considering that the whole social justice in gaming movement is about people...caring a whole lot about games.

I can't get over that. When you decide to make your living writing about games you become the kind of person that cares the most about games.
