Since today is a holiday the really interesting poo poo won't be going down until tomorrow and afterwards. I have to imagine that pedophile guy gets shitcanned and his firing could start a purge as organizations seek to rid themselves of employees who openly hate their target demographic.

No he made a thread in Games that was almost immediately deleted (not just gassed). It was just what he said in his tumblr post.

When the two streams merge, I'm going to die. No wait, I want three streams to merge. I want leaked cellphone nudes of Larry Hryb loving Zoe Quinn and Maya.

So, with the latest news about the PR lady, the entire indie dev scene is just a pile of massive corruption, correct? I remember someone saying before all the journalists started a jihad against the word 'gamer' that the reason no one was willing to officially report about Zoe Quinn was because they were scared, now it's perfectly understandable why lol

From the articles I've seen, there's still nobody (no 'journalists' anyway) willing to report negatively on Zoe. Just hysteria about internet misogynists and a big distraction - probably deliberate - about the meaning of being a gamer or whatever the gently caress. Her press cronies are pretty effortlessly directing the discussion towards talking points that are even more loving irrelevant. E: The integrity of games journalism is completely unimportant. Cliques of hipsters sabotaging people's ability to do business really kind of is. Strategic Tea fucked around with this message at 23:30 on Sep 1, 2014 |

 Clearly yes, you loving idiot. What do you think a conspiracy is? This stood out to me when he said it, because he clearly thinks "friends at work" to be the entire industry, including PR and press industries. His literal work is a 2 person team.

I hope the end result of all of this is the death of online game journalism. There is absolutely nothing worth redeeming in game journalism.

Reddit left up an entire subreddit devoted exclusively to spreading around hacked leaked celebrity nudes, but any Zoe Quinn stuff gets wiped in minutes. The celeb nudes subreddit is still up over 24 hours later, and apparently endorsed by admins.

It might be that they just want nothing to do with the whole shitstorm. It doesn't fully explain why they only shut down critics of Zoe (honestly can't remember which side is meant to be the SJW one anymore). Perhaps they just see the press sites as established and legitimate, and not something to wash their hands of pronto?

This is not a valid comparison considering one involves some barely-known indie dev versus some of the most famous women in the world. Do you think Reddit has any way of stifling that conversation even if they wanted to?

Exactly, this is all the kind of nasty petty poo poo that goes on in regular corruption. But it's it's happening around socially maladjusted games hipsters instead, so it's just pathetic and hilarious. I cannot believe that morons like Phil loving Fish genuinely have their hooks in the actual world of business.

Probably this type of best-friends club type corruption isn't rare in the world but the ubiquity of social media combined with how, shall we say, "unconventionally socialized" someone who makes their life around videogames is just creates the perfect storm. I'm not surprised people are pissed. Videogames are supposed to be fun and games, noone wants their hobby to get taken over by the kind of bullshit you deal with and work or in the news.

Either you're dense as gently caress, or you failed Asking Rhetorical Questions 101. Speaking to colleagues, discussing events, disagreeing, reasoning, bouncing ideas of one another are all good, healthy things that we want a legitimate press to do. This is obvious to anyone with a mote of objectivity floating around in their heads. Meeting, agreeing to a shared agenda, colluding to push that agenda, and concurrently presenting that agenda as completely spontaneous is conspiracy. It's Americans For Prosperity in horn-rimmed glasses. But hey, you're "Just asking questions" right?
