I like that you guys latch onto that instead of the bigger story from yesterday:
Oh wow, that auto reference with copying and pasting from there was unexpected.
Anyways, that's insanely anti-consumer. These sites are supposed to help consumers pick games that are actually good, not be an avenue of marketing for them.
Speaking of marketing, how about that game awards from last night? At least they didn't do all the retarded weed jokes like they did back on Spike TV...

Awards in general are a joke. Even the Oscars is nothing more than a big industry circle jerk.

Bayonetta got robbed. Some of the judges were biased against her, for being so horribly sexist.

If they had actually clear guidelines on why this game should be removed, then nobody would have a problem with it being removed.

In short, thatvideo shows that Johnathon McIntosh, Mimi Ito and a handful of other cultural Marxist cronies have their hands in the political pants of several big organizations, and links to their constant calling upon one another can be seen through many sources back to late 00s. They have a significant degree of influence over such places of education as Microsoft Research, media as Wikipedia (see their stranglehold over any wikipedia articles regarding the "gamergate controversy"), they have taken over facets of the Indie dev scene and made a lot of games journalists complicit to their plans, they have pulled millions in grants from the Bill Gates Foundation, and their manipulations have twisted and crashed other movements like Occupy Wall Street in order to push their agenda.
Subversive and overt attempts at forcing change in the media in order to control the message, shut down dissent and indoctrinate others into their way of thinking. These "activists" are horrifyingly racist, sexist and fascist, but wave any accusations of such off with mere dismissals, a passive aggressive thesaurus-buffed "no u", claim victimization, absurd twisting of the English language, and allowing themselves to make biased orations on mainstream media. Besides GamerGate being one of the first organized but formless opponents to their bullshit, their worst enemy is their own incompetence and idiotic ideals, however, they have been able to gain some degree of control over other idiots after enough brute forcing and accidental subtlety.

Not even a minute in and I'm done, horrible VO. Besides I watched the whole gamergate shitstorm since the beginning. I just got so burntout listening to the professional victims, who had nothing to even do with gamergate besides Zoe Quinn briefly, take center stage saying "gib mone pls, internet harassment"

I mean, there's not any jumping to conclusions. Lots of things are proven beyond reasonable doubt in the video--no tinfoil hats necessary.

Anyone hear about that Polygon journalist who was shipped out to a Rock Band 4 press expo only to not cover the game? He even writes an article about it, and it gets published. The article itself is painstakingly pretentious, so here's Totalbiscuit reading out the article for a giggle or two. Enjoy: soundcloud.com/totalbiscuit/masterpiece-theatre-presents-games-journalismThat's right. We went from "I didn't play the game", to "the game is not for me", and arriving at "video games are pointless". An hero.

What a tool. Look, if you don't like your job that's fine, but you don't go bitching about it to the customers you're providing a service to.
Imagine the next time you go to a restaurant and had the waiter saying "I hate this place, but if you like it...whatever" Fucking 5 star post Colin Campbell. "I'm standing at a safe distance, drinking fizzy water, eating puff pastry canapes and chatting to another colleague about politics in the Philippines. I'm having an OK time." Just, wow.

"I'm standing at a safe distance, drinking fizzy water, eating puff pastry canapes and chatting to another colleague about politics in the Philippines. I'm having an OK time." Just, wow. I've had this idea that maybe nobody at Polygon even liked Rock Band; so they sent some random guy anyways to honour their invite. Writing about their disinterest and not playing it, however, is as wise as committing a crime and putting it on YouTube. Because at some point this article had to have been peer-reviewed and published by a living, breathing editor at Polygon. That's what gets me; I can't tell if it went by the editor through mass incompetence or malice. Several people at Polygon probably looked at this guy's article and gave it the green light anyway; which is really not good.

I simply assembled the discoveries of other men behind whom were centuries of work. Had I worked fifty or ten or even five years before, I would have failed. So it is with every new thing. Progress happens when all the factors that make for it are ready, and then it is inevitable. To teach that comparatively few men are responsible for the greatest forward steps of mankind is the worst sort of nonsense." - Henry Ford

I know who Milo is, but I don't really listen to him on my own time. I'm not much of a fanatic when it comes to things like social justice. I don't think it's remotely realistic to say "If you get harassed online, simply turn off your device and stop going online". That doesn't work. Plenty of people have friends far away that they can't see every day. Hell, I wouldn't be able to see any of you guys if I had to suddenly disappear offline forever. If Milo argued that the right to free speech is as important as the right to ignore anyone at will, then I'd agree with him there. I think Milo had a point when he said that death threats are often provoked; I'm surprised this was glanced over. It's just common sense; most murders happen to people who the perpetrator knows to begin with. You have to do something to get people to hate you to the point where you get death threats. Overall this interview was... awful. Inviting someone over for an interview to hear their point of view, only to cut that person off mid-sentence, is dumb. Nobody with journalistic integrity does that. That's silly.

Gamergate has been going on quietly, after the Five Guys debacle (which got a bunch of attention not because GG was bringing it to light but because Quinn went on a media tour to draw all attention to herself and spin it as a misogyny campaign) they've been searching about for instances of journalistic failings and bias. The things they're finding now isn't that much smaller or bigger on the influential side of things, it's just that there's no media blowup like the initial spark.
They've always focused on bringing out information that challenges the integrity of those in video games journalism, while crazy feminists and the like have used GG as a boogeyman for their own personal, social and financial gain. It's these opportunists who continue to taunt, vilify and fabricate all this negative stuff about Gamergate (many accounts of them going to places like 4chan, reddit and other forums and shitposting for the express purpose of drawing attention to themselves), but the lot who actually adhere to GG's ideals just ignores it. That, or whenever they've engaged the professional victims in a controlled forum of discussion, GG destroyed their baseless arguments and accusations.
Regardless, GG is not the one in control of the media, so all of the victories they've earned go unsung. The media themselves don't want GG to bring to light any of their dirt so the media sided with the professional victims and continue to run with the misogyny angle.
It doesn't help that the modern mainstream media is just an absolute shitshow driven by emotional appeals laced with straight up lies nowadays.

Nobody with journalistic integrity does that. That's silly. I've seen Milo a few times, through Sargon, Drunken Peasants etc... He's entertaining to watch to say the least. I disagree with a lot that he says, but he does make good points and absolutely drives people bonkers which is fun. As for the "just turn it off" that can mean several things. Blocking people, going to a different website, waiting for blowback to calm down. Which I think is reasonable in that sense. I know I've gotten into heated arguments or got people sending me hate mail and stuff. I just stepped away, ignored it, blocked the really nasty or harassing stuff and it all blew over. Then I learned to not fan the flames to begin with, because I didn't want to deal with that. So I do agree with that aspect too. Getting harassed sucks, but if you're fanning the flames and intentionally angering people, yeah nasty words and shitty behavior follows and you should expect it.
