Welcome #Gaming,
Let me start by saying how sick and tired I am of sites like Kotaku, or IGN, or RPS telling me how I need to think or feel about videogames.
The video I linked can say everything about this much better than I ever could, so please watch it. It's 24 minutes long. It's much more productive than arguing about which console is better.
If you browse sites like I mentioned, please consider ceasing immediately.
Edit:
A Part 2 has been made. The first (linked in the OP) details the initial complaints against Journalism and the lies that perpetuate Zoe.
[b]Part 2:[/b]
http://youtu.be/pKmy5OKg6lo
Details the industries reaction to us talking about it, and the double standards that the "Journalists" try to force upon us.
Also, it labels Zoe as a rapist by her own definition, lol.
[url=https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-fine-young-capitalists--2]Here's the campaign that Zoe doxxed into oblivion, ironically supporting women in the industry themselves.[/url] See if you can beat my $25 donated! :D
[url=http://i.imgur.com/7JrUrHZ.png]Famous Kotaku writer Patty H, author of great articles such as "Straight white male, IRL easy mode" and "Should killing female gamers online be considered ræp?", has been found [i]living[/i] with someone she writes about.[/url]
[url=https://twitter.com/stephentotilo/status/503446346733731840]Kotaku's Editor In Chief is "investigating" it. This was 2 days ago. Still no results, or indications of any actual investigation.[/url]

I will continue to edit and update this post, so it can serve as a discussion for users that frequent bnet.

I'm not watching the video, or clicking the links, but tell me what all that has to do with a Burger restaurant?
-
Did you forget?
-
They always fill the entire bag with fries
-
Five Guys pls
-
Hole shit i thought that the "killing women online -blam!-" article was a joke!
-
Like I'd let you forget.
-
An okay article, putting it all into perspective . Strange that it's coming from the kotaku website though.

JonTron on the TB stream Co-Operational today was great. The man is a folk hero of gaming.

Bump for Social Justice.

Edited by Abeastnamedjoe: 8/22/2014 5:21:23 AMNever really listened to those guys anyway but after this ill be sure to avoid them altogether. Thats what i hate about indie devs,they make one game and they think they are up there with the big boys and act like the saints of gaming. And sites like kotaku dont help at all. And worst of all once people start saying they don't like their game the get all offended and butthurt like their game is the mona lisa and you insulted it. Whats worse is that they claim the get abused when insults start flying. Grow a pair. The COD developers get way worse flak than you,hell treyarch got sent death threats because of a little update that changed the rof and reload speed of some weapons. Did you see treyarch cry about being abused and bullied? No because part of being a dev is dealing with criticism no matter postive or negative. Ill just leave off with this: If you're gonna act like you're up there with the big boys,you better learn how to take criticism like the big boys

i went to five guys today to get a burger because all this shit made me hungry for five guys. my cashier looked similar to Phil Fish.

Thanks; I needed to see this. You guys seen Boogie2988's video?
-
Also the Mundanematt video got reuploaded (it was taken down due to Quinn's false allegation of copyright). Also this site is another good summary: http://mattforney.com/2014/08/25/zoe-quinn-phil-fish-and-the-great-social-justice-swindle/

I'll have a big bacon cheese burger with lettuce, tomato, grilled onion and Mushrooms. A large fry and soda as well.
-
As other people have stated in other forums and areas. The more things get needlessly deleted and moderated..the more intrigued I am about the whole situation and the more I want to know and follow it.
-
I'm sorry, but I'm confused. I've watched both of Internet Aristocrats' videos and I've read some of the articles, but I'm still lost. What really happened and what didn't happen?
-
Ign? They generally don't post articles that tell you how to think.

Edited by feigny: 8/25/2014 10:18:15 PMIf you want to support the indiegogo that Zoe Quinn was unnecessarily trying to oppress, the link is there. Supposedly, Quinn's people tried to shut down the funding because feminism (even the people at the FYC helping to make this happen doesn't understand the correlation as to how she came to this conclusion). And in turn the indiegogo site has garnered more attention, specifically from 4chan - they've raised over $30 000 and as a result get to create a video game character of their own design (a totally normal girl! The shock!). That's the best kind of trolling/justice that 4chan can do, spite the pretending-feminists, by supporting a charity that encourages women to make games in the video game industry.

I started browsing /pol/ today to stay up to date on the riots in Furguson, I saw Five Guys threads and wondered what the fuck they were. So I read them, and got really, really fucking angry. I KNEW gaming journalism was fucking rotten as all hell. But this just goes to fucking prove it. Journalism is dead. Internet Journalism, print journalism, all of it. It's all fucking dead. I hate to turn this into something political, but the connection is so fucking obvious it hurts. One of the guys she fucked works for Kotaku. A Video game journalist website. Kotaku is owned by a company called Gawker. Gawker owns a few other sites, notably Jalopnik and Jessebel. Gawker is run by people with raging fucking hardons for everything progressive. Jessebel for instance is a hive of Fem-nazi and SJW bullshit. Jessebel is defending Zoe fucking hard. Why? Because she is a self proclaimed SJW. It only makes sense that progressive degenerates would allow this sort of bullshit, specifically the lack of journalistic integrity as well as full blown fucking censorship, to continue. This shit doesn't stop with the Kotaku writer. It goes right to the fucking top. It goes all the way to the SJW White Knight who will defend the whore and take her word as gospel just because of what she CLAIMS has happened to her and he CLAIMED beliefs. This whole fucking ordeal is rotten. Zoe is an egotistical, hypocritical, backstabbing, thieving, whore. The people defending her are fucking idiots. And I've seen her nudes, she ugly as sin. Fox News is fucking stupid, but Progressivism killed Journalism.

Wow. This shit is eye opening...and stomach turning...all at the same time.

>kotaku kek

Edited by Trollheim: 8/24/2014 11:04:44 PMKotaku and RPS are tabloid journalism. It isn't really surprising. This guy is making a huge overreaction... Kotaku and RPS are not the equivalent of say, CNN or BBC. They're the equivalent of US Weekly. I get my news from gameinformer, neogaf, or r/games (NOT r/gaming). As far as those other devs, if two indie devs want to **** each other and then cross-promote their games, go for it. The only thing really bad is the Kotaku writer hooking up with that chick, but again, Kotaku is shit-tier news anyways.

What I find funny, now that more and more people are writing about it (on whichever side), is that it would seem like, anyone who claims they are a feminist, should suddenly be immune to criticism. And as though it's impossible for a "feminist" to be a sociopath. It makes me wonder if people are defending her because as a woman in the gaming industry, she'd be considered a minority. I really don't understand why it's impossible for people to look at all what is happening, here, as objectively as possible... I mean I want women succeeding in the industry and not doing so by gaining sexual favours...
