I just want to remind everyone that this whole thing started because some dude decided to publically deride his slut of an ex.

Imagine Zoe worked at Goldman Sachs or something, now that would own.

Good to know that the standard of evidence needed to claim "TRANS" status is a steam profile. Would make the en troon thread more entertaining atleast. Sorry Xir you may have been on hormones for 2 years and have had multiple surgeries but come back when you update your steam profile.

I don't think it's a killfile, or a fidonet area moderator. For what I understood it should be something like facebook's algorithm: it will prefer showing you posts from people you liked with content that you liked and to push aside people you did not act upon before. It's poo poo because it makes an echo chamber of your own interests, or even worse, your tantrums.

Because it also had to do with her loving competition judges/journalists so that caught people's attention.

Then gaming blogs covered it up and said anyone who talks about it just hates women and proceeded to ban anyone talking about it from their comments.

Then bloggers made hilarious articles all at the same time about "gamers are dead". The whole thing is just hilarious and bizarre.

wrote a terrible article about women being attacked and oppressed for the guardian, was outed as being financially supported by zoe's pr agent - and was in turn donating to zoe's protean account - then went mental on twitter and apparently threw away 9 years of her life or something
So when she put the connection in her original article but the copy eds at the Grauniad stripped it out from the first published version and only put it back in when she told them to, was that all part of the conspiracy too? :allears:

freelancers aren't contractors. you pitch stories to an editor, they agree to pay for you to write that article. if you want to quit you just stop submitting pitches.

how is this confusing?

Babbes first job. It takes a few years of experience to know the difference between actual contracting or freelance work and "temp-forever" contract jobs that corps use to evade paying taxes on.

Alex Navarro is a dork who pretends to be some big voice in all of this while working for a site that's loving terrified of taking a side either way, probably because John Vignocchi hasn't told them what the right opinion is yet.

in a way he's probably right that part of why games journalism (and all enthusiast press) sucks is that the writers who get published are mostly the ones who are willing to work for nothing and feel fortunate to get 20 bucks to do something they'd be doing anyway, and then things like fact checking and editing also cost money so gently caress it let's just run whatever they write

i assume giantbomb is one of the sweeter gigs in that business tho because it's "personality driven"

Their professional PR department would have told her to give a non-apology apology and the story would have died in days.

declaring "gamers are over" after this, which is a situation that most people have had to deal with amongst friends or friends of friends (because people are awful and cheat on each other and take advantage of each other ALL THE TIME), seems like someone declaring that Irish people no longer exist because a few IRA nuts sent angry letters to the Post

the IRA is right, and so are the gamers. makes you think.
