Okay, we determined that the marine had a good reason for being ill-dressed for a gunfight.

Why is this woman walking across a desert in a ballgown, with a rain storm about to start?

Apparently, "gamergate" was manufactured by 4chan in an attempt to make ""SJWs"" look bad.

I don't think it worked very well.

Not really. #gamergate started from something different than IRC trolls, and even then it's something a lot more than that now. #gamergate's community condemns personal attacks and death threats of any kind, which ironically have come from almost entirely the SJW side. http://gamergateharrassment.tumblr.com/

It doesn't have a "community". It's a bunch of people from various groups arguing and fighting over the stupidest goddamn thing that ever had "-gate" applied to it, which is a tall order.

Dismissing complaints about yellow journalism as ~*~its just video games~*~ allows this bullshit to happen in the first place. Communities can start wherever.

Whenever I hear about 4chan and tumblr fighting over something, I have to remember that the average user is like, 16. It's basically children yelling at each other over the internet, and for some reason people take them seriously.

You're talking about a controversy that started with a woman having unverifiable claims made against her spiraling into a void of bullshit which was somehow spun into a fight against sensationalism. It's the stupidest thing in the loving world.

I'm actually well aware of the supposed issues, I just either disagree or don't care about any of them because it all involves a form of journalism which boils down to "here is game, here is how I feel about game".

gently caress, let's start some poo poo with the food critics next. Gordon Ramsay is a whoremonger oval office did you know he hosed every person who gave him a review? I read about it online. I heard that people actually scheduled in advance to eat as his restaurants, then told people that they were excited about it! What a bunch of frauds, they should be in jail.

My friend, who works a minimum wage job at a chain of hotels, just posted this. I don't know how to gently break it to her that she's not middle class by a long shot and that she should be empathizing and identifying with the situation on the left rather than trying to distance herself from the people she presumably believes to be "the undeserving poor."

The thing that always gets me is the people who post things like that have clearly never been on food stamps, or known anyone who was. You don't get a million dollars with which to buy endless mountains of crap. And if you do buy one singular mountain, better hope it lasts you until the next deposit on your card because that's all you'll be getting for the month.

That tumblr really sealed it, now I'm on the side of gamers who care deeply about a woman having sex.

A good way to gently caress with people who think like that is to assert that they should get food stamps but can't because there it is an all or nothing system and should be scaled up. Their brain breaks arguing that they don't need what they just expressed they want.

It would not be an exaggeration to say I have seen literally a hundred times more attacks and death threats directed towards their perceived "SJW leaders".

"SJW" might've theoretically meant "13 year old tumblr user who identifies as a made up gender" at some point but now it's the new "feminazi". If you're ranting about "SJWs" there is a 100% chance you are wrong.

SJW is the political correctness for the internet. Sure there are probably people who go to far but they are more of an excuse than an actual problem.

I'm so depressed, I can't even blink.

The New York Times's ethical journalism code says that journalists only need to inform their editors and never the public if they were romantically linked to someone they're writing about. I'm sorry you hold Kotaku to a higher standard than the New York Times and most other news outlets.

I read what the issue is earlier today and I was seriously startled that all this poo poo is over a lady who may or may not have cheated on her boyfriend, including with a guy from Kotaku. Because angry ex's are the very best source in the world. The whole thing was extremely depressing because of the vitriol spewed out by a bunch of loving manchildren over a woman having sex.

It is no exaggeration to say that if it were a guy indie dev who had sex with a few women - hell, a whole bunch of women! - even if he were in a relationship, the same people would be calling him a total bro and asking for sick PUA tricks.

The example I bring up all the time is Geoff Keighley. People just laugh at him and go "oh games journalism" instead of sending him rape / death threats and trying to ruin his career. One woman dev has sex and woah stop the presses ~games journalism~ is corrupt!!
