Appear on social media at all. It always frick up. Atari was right not giving anyone credit.
>Appear on social media at all. It always frick up. Atari was right not giving anyone credit.
This. Devs and dev studios shouldn't be on social media at all.
Maybe just a Twitter account for marketing purposes that has all comments blocked or something.
God you people are so fricking moronic
Stalker-based horror games are kino but I have yet to see an indie game execute it successfully.
Shame the most popular example (Hello Neighbor) is so shit.
Someone should just shamelessly rip off Haunting Ground.
Based post, anon. The brief surprise when a leaker was talking about a horror franchise gave me a tiny glimmer of hope.
I've seen it, but I would argue the groundwork was already laid before it happened. The rapid mechanization of the internet and the turning of the internet as an abstracted concept filled with Ideas to a mechanical flow charting templated internet where the person is at the center of the experience was already going in full swing.
Miyamoto Wii Party E3
It's shocking how well Hello Neighbor sells. Apparently the book alone sold 3 million.
Pandering to children is easy money because they're so fricking moronic and parents don't care anymore.
acknowledging homosexual tubers and ecelebs in any fashion is disgusting.
frick 5 men to get her game good reviews
Only an incel wouldn't believe this is based.
only a simp would
and kill a guy when her popularity declines.
Dude killed himself. Suicide is the easiest thing to prevent, you literally just don't have a nice day.
If only it were that easy.
It is.
>get a guy killed
He became a muderer at the end of his life if you get my meaning. I know you do because you phrased your question a specific way to gaslight despite being aware that he killed himself due to being a punk b***h who got what he fricking deserved.
> got what he deserved
Oh really, gaslighting?
what did he do to deserve that Ms. Quinn?
Colluded with Quinn
Associated with Quinn
Defended Quinn
Anyone who contributes to the ruination of my hobby, even if only by association, AND kills themselves, deserves what they get. No sympathy.
Funny stance to take
its sorta cutting your nose off to spite your face by ignoring one evil to piss on the opportunity you are given
I have never been shown any reason not to be spiteful to the people who ruin vidya.
in order to protect someone else who has done more to ruin it
bravo, you have become what you most hated as you are defending Quinn
Nowhere have I defended Quinn, only condemned the man's actions on their own merits.
>I know you do because you phrased your question a specific way to gaslight despite being aware that he killed himself
Stop pretending she isn't a murderer
Nothing in that quote contradicts the fact that I'm not defending her. The guy killed himself which is his own fault. That doesn't make Quinn a good person, it just makes her not a murderer.
She still isn't a murderer no matter how much you say it. Accuse her of her actual crimes instead of trying to push this narrative.
>Im not defending her
>proceeds to defend her
>not perpetuating my false narrative means you are defending her
Ok
now kiss
>his own fault
Not tell us how exactly you're not actually defending Quinn.
Show me where she directly caused his death.
Look at how quick you are to throw out your morals.
This is such a weird stretch. You have your golden goose (a way to cancel Zoe) so why are you strangling it to spite some Black person who an hero'd himself?
I don't like to win on a technicality or by using the same dishonest tactics as the opposition.
>bro it's a sword fight! even if I have a gun I'd rather get hacked away to pieces instead of using it! I have HONOR!!
KYS moron
The core issue effects a situation that isn't going to die from just this, so your analogy doesn't really work here. Gaming and the people that care about certain aspects of it may have suffered a setback, but it's nothing that can't be rectified with time and it isn't worth playing petty games just to speed up the process.
We've already lost a long time ago, this is a useless topic either way, might as well try and leave a better narrative for the future
It's only a loss to anyone who's completely given up on it. I'd still rather not rely on a flimsy narrative and just use whatever solid evidence we have which is plenty implicating.
It is pretty solid, you're arguing semantics, most people will sympathize with someone being driven to suicide, we might not because we know he was a complete moron, but other people will.
It's a fact that he was betrayed and that he killed himself because of it.
>most people will sympathize with someone being driven to suicide
Not if he's a straight white male for the most part, even if he was acquitted.
>we might not because we know he was a complete moron
Amen to that.
>It's a fact that he was betrayed and that he killed himself because of it.
Regardless, I personally can't respect him both because of his actions before killing himself and for having decided to kill himself enough to spare any sympathy whatsoever. He was the lesser of two evils between himself and Quinn but he was still a massive moron and I feel no more worse off without him in the world.
Oh I don't respect him at all honestly either, in fact it's always nice to see them eating each other, but it's better than just not talking about him at all, might as well keep him as an example
I can appreciate that aspect of your viewpoint.
>gaslighting
He got eaten by his own. That's not gaslighting, that's poetic justice
Rage at Zoe Quinn all you want, but font pretend it somehow exonerates a degenerate libtard getting backstabbed by his own libtard sister
>I hate zoe quinn but she isn't a murderer or anything
Nice try ZQ
She's a lot of things but she is no more a murderer than a let's play watcher is a gamer.
3rd degree murder is still murder Zoe
>but she isn't a murderer or anything
Who the frick are you quoting, mongoloid?
She is a murderer.
Alex deserved it.
These statements are not mutually exclusive
>way to gaslight
define gaslighting
Saying something I don't like/having leftist views
Pure psychopathy sure is a sight to behold.
>How dare you not sympathize with the poor libtard, dont you know he was betrayed and driven to suicide by his friends, he was a good boy he dindu nuffin wrong!
One day you'll stop seeing things in black and white
>maybe people don't "desrve" to be driven to suicide?
>lol libtard black and white
Yes, psychopathy is defined by inability to empathize with others.
>libtards
>people
lmao. You choose to ascribe to the mentality of solipsistic snakes looking to preach off whatever moral high ground they can get to by trampling on others, you dont get to act surprised when they trample you to get to a higher moral high ground than you.
Because I know for a fact that you have done the same to someone else.
This isnt rocket science.
It's not an inability, it's a willful decision.
Not in the traditional sense of what we call "psychopathy", though that strict term doesn't apply in psychology anymore
My bad, I meant it's a choice to refrain from empathizing in this case, not that psychopathy is a choice.
If you have an ability to emphasize, you don't get to "choose" not to. That would cause a little bit too much emotional stress to you specifically because you have an ability to do it.
Yes you do, you're able to discern the situation that person is going through and weight what they've done before to make an informed decision if they deserve sympathy, everyone does this, but on a smaller scale
>That would cause a little bit too much emotional stress to you specifically
A sacrifice I am willing to make. I used to care about this and that but I've had to curate what I care about to myself and those in my social circle because that's mostly all I'll be able to or want to impact. I live with a gemeralsinking feeling but it's normal by now so it's negligible. Not saying everyone who might share the same opinion as me is exactly like this, but that's where I'm coming from in my detached reaction to this.
>I'm not a psychopath, just cynical
I guess that's technically better, but that's like saying a turd encrusted with gold and diamonds is better than a regular turd.
It's amazing how so much of "gamer lore" is built on fake news.
She had a relationship with a guy who mentioned her non-game in a news article, that's it. No review.
yeah as much as I hate Zoe, she didn't do anything wrong in that one particular case.
you mean aside from being a BPD prostitute who fricked at least 5 other guys while dating someone.
There's a lot of BPD prostitutes, anon
And trust me, as a BPD prostitute expert, there's no way the guy dating her didn't know what he was getting himself into
Zoe wasn't wrong, it's the fault of the people who agreed to sleep with her.
disgruntled, bitter millennials about to call you a troony for having the correct info
you have no idea of the hell we went through....
This shit has ruined the internet forever and nobody realizes it.
Yep, the downfall of humanity started with this
There was build up, but yeah, this was no doubt the first big shot over the bow.
The insane part is he's still probably the funniest one on that screenshot. Also funny that for some reason Adam Baldwin is on the red side twice.
Funny this has three responses and none of them say "zero", which is the correct answer. And the most insane thing? The Kotaku post in question was written before Eron Gjoni claims she slept with him.
>2014
Bro, the internet was done the second Smartphones blew up. There was a mass influx of women and other moronic normalgays to the internet in 2008. This shit was just a consequence of that, not the cause of it.
As it turns out, giving folks who filter everything through a consensus mechanism, the ability to rapidly form consensus with 100 million other people was a disaster.
As always, ugly people ruining shit for everyone. When will we start executing them? Uggos never did anything good but at least before the internet they didn't have a platform to larp as important on.
>ugly people ruining shit for everyone.
Kek you're one to talk
Everyone who took the GG Black persony seriously is a certified uggo one way or another. The only passable humans were grifters fleecing the chinless fatties and troons for their cash then they dumped your gay war.
Yeah I don't care lol Ganker is practically exclusively uglies and Black folk so beauty is clearly not the main factor here
Wow, video games truly are serious business and posting twitter screenshots from my phone onto Ganker puts me at the front lines of the white genocide war...
>nods respectfully towards you
it's amazing how many of these people are either dead and gone or eventually capitulated anyway
The whole debacle was just embarrassing for both "sides".
>Notch on the left side
oh how the turn tables
I think you’ve got your sides mixed up anon
>mfw STILL not Anthony Burch
Did gamergate won?
Considering everything that happened since, the answer is obviously no.
Nobody really won, but i guess gamergate at least made a lot of people aware that game journalism is a joke.
sounds like GG won then
I wanted to be a gaming journalist as a child... Before social media and in a real magazine. I wonder if it was fun back then?
It was.
No one won. We all lost. The left certainly lost ground. The conservatives will never be happy anyway until everything is catered to them individually, so that's impossible. And worst? The trolls allied with the whiny conservatives to "own the libtards" for lulz and along the way they actually became conservatives Republicans fighting against their own interests (and see above: will never be happy.)
It's just depressing.
Dumb Black person
Regardless of who won, we all lost.
oh shit the frick up you dumb homosexual i swear to god you frickers act like some shitty videogames are the end of the fricking world
All I said was we all lost. I don't know what kind of word/statement converter exists in your head but nowhere in my post did I imply that "some shitty videogames are the end of the fricking world." Work on yourself.
No, and that is the reason the industry got worse and worse.
Nope, started a culture war, got Trump elected, caused /misc/ to explode ruining 4chin, made Californians and Liberals go full moron turning them into a joke, and made the website owners poop there paints causing them to clamp down on everything leading to the internet becoming the shithole it is now.
As much as the left is winning and everyone is coming around to their point of view, the best part is watching how normalgays have to cope without realizing it like heavily censoring themselves, wasting money on genuinely slop games that Gankertards can see are shit from a mile away, forcing themselves to boycott games they might actually like due to politics, and so on. Frick normalgays, they supported this shit and watching them choose to suffer for it always brightens my day.
ESL moron.
I mean it turned my life around that's for sure
>before I would shitpost on Ganker and smile
>now I shitpost on Ganker and seethe, my life has really turned around
A commie trannie is no challenge for someone who fought the demiurge.
Silence, Frogposter
Please do not hurt the frogs sirs.
If you consider the only goal of GG ethics in games journalism then yes they unquestionably won as games journalism never recovered as their lies and slimy practices were aired out for the world to see.
If you consider GG a culture war against wokeness then no it’s pretty clear they lost and are at least partially to blame for how bad the internet is.
>lies and slimy practices
Thanks for reminding me about that shitshow.
all it acheived was accelerating the moronic culture war and put liberals even further to the left when chuddies started talking about how they need to repeal womens rights.
Many people got genuinely redpilled over gamergate, so maybe it was a positive after all.
Yes, that's why trannies are now in control of all internet speech instead of landwhale feminists. 90% of gamergaters were some flavor of troony/homosexual/disabled obese mutant
...How were thousands of autists persuaded or deluded into identifying as the opposite gender, actually? In 2013 it wasn't like this... what was the biggest contributor? Was it Twitter? Was it the end of bullying as a justifiable institution? Or maybe, was it the end of the idea of a parent having full control over their child's development. IDK.
They've been teaching gender theory in schools for over a decade, you're just noticing now because those kids got old enough to post online during the late 2010s
Defining gender as a spectrum in of itself doesn't cause people to think that their assigned gender was wrong, or at least I would think so. My first exposure to it was a sociology class 6 years ago in undergrad. It certainly wasn't an issue that middle school or elementary school students were learning about in 2013.
Hey, I just said I didn't know what the cause was, I'm not advocating for the opposite of what I supposed could be causes. Though, I don't think that parents should be deprived of their child-rearing rights. Still, I certainly am bordering on /misc/ or am strictly within the confines of their ideas.
I don't know enough about ecological realities to say what a "war" would or would not do. I certainly don't think it would lead to any positive outcomes for first world youth.
>claiming that man and woman are social roles rather than biological ones surely wouldn't cause any confusion
Most people are just waiting for an excuse to act moronic, the institutions provided that excuse. If you were allowed to inject cancer for sympathy most people would do it as well
I guess I forgot about the oppression olympics, good point. Everyone wants to have a reason their life sucks that is outside of their control.
Which is why you see so many conspiracy theorists on Ganker about why aaa games are just mediocre.
you are one cliche away from "maybe a good war will sort them out"
Those people were always trans but now it's socially acceptable.
You mean they always suffered from body dysmorphia? Because perception of one's sociological role has no real bearing on who someone is or is not. They are "trans" because they cannot cope, so now they have a name for their condition. That doesn't make them anything, or say that they ever were something. If you are a male you are a male... if you are a woman, you are a woman. It's not a matter of perception, it's a matter of someone being able to accept their lot in life. Plastic surgery can certainly help some people cope though.
Literally just look at modern online culture if you need a reminder
in a way
>Notch on the Kotaku side
What?
A couple of months later he got the Microsoft money. Soon after he began spiraling about how no one likes him anymore and eventually he went QAnon. Money fricked him up bad.
Nope, he was constantly attacked by commie leftists, he’s the way he is now because they redpilled him
Notch used to be a huge SJW. Doing shit like calling out the creator of earthworm jim about his anti gay marriage stance and schmoozing with sarkesian and her bootlickers.
He only turned heel because he weirded all his lefty "friends" out with his candy mansion and attempt at LARPing as a Hollywood playboy.
He would still be a SJW if Twitter wasn't a thing
Do you think Notch would still hold those opinions if Twitter didn't harass him 24/7 because of things he said back in 2016?
zoomer here, qrd?
oh gamergate nvm
gamergate was the beginning of the end, we were just too blind to see.

He was TB's friend. So, there it is.
i remember when that pic was new
fricking 10 years
>broteam
theres a name I haven't heard in a while holy frick
Nta but I just finished rewatching his Harvester run. His stuff got removed so some other channel reupped a lot of his videos. I'm probably going to have to rewatch Life is Dranks and the Rust trilogy again too.
Actually the day we went to war was 28 August when "gamers are dead" articles were published. Before that it was a niche thing between channers and Zoe twitter white knights army. Journos bought the mayem on them themselves. Another proof of their moronicness.
>Journos bought the mayem on them themselves.
Y'all chose to respond. With violence.
ummm chudbros??? our response? should we call him israeli? frick... we got BTFO again... this sucks...
So they're right? Why else would you need to make a pathetic baiting falseflag post? That's like the modus operandi of GG opposition. In fact, that's where the worst trends of posting here started. And it's always leftists doing it. Funny, that.
>She had a relationship with a guy who mentioned
She had a "relationship" with the guy she cheated on with five different guys. Out of those five, two gave her game favorable coverage.
How many reviews?
shut the frick up libtard that doesnt matter
>Facts don't matter libtard, only my feefees!
The absolute state of you.
One each.
I take it you haven't played "Depression Quest", as it only loosely resembles a game. Not sure how anyone would review it, and any positive coverage whatsoever outside of the novelty value was clearly undeserved. Then, there's what happened afterwards...
I bet you play VNs.
I read VNs, at the most. But then where's the line between a puzzle game and a VN? Like, say Ace Attorney, Danganronpa, the like... VN-lite? But yeah, you got me, I've read a few VNs, but I wouldn't say I played them.
Zero. The only wrong thing they said is "reviews" instead of "favorable coverage," which is literally exactly as damning.
between this and the holowka nonsense it should be obvious to anyone with some braincells that a clique of people got their silly young-twentysomething group drama blasted across the internet because a few of them happened to blog for some game journo outlets
I love this gaslighting. She was getting favorable coverage in multiple news sources for no reason other than she was sleeping around. Her "game" wasn't even a game and she isn't a developer. People were sick of incestuous nature of game journalists at the time and she was the straw that broke the camels back.
in retrospect I'm realizing that none of this shit would have mattered if people didn't take their gaming hobby so seriously
>favorable coverage in news outlets
fricking kotaku? come on get over yourself
She was a nobody, she was not a developer, and she didn't make a game. The only reason anyone knew her name was that she sat of a bunch of nerds penises.
like you haven't?
She's still a c**t either way.
NOOOOOO I WAS TOLD SHE GOT A GOOD REVIEW SO ITS TRUE DON'T POST THINGS THAT CONTRADICT MY FEELINGS NOOOOOOOOO
Only morons who weren't there think this... honestly I think the misinfo is almost on purpose at this point. Here's the long and short of it, some journos fricked a thot, talked about a game, and discussion of the fact this occurred was censored on every single social media website on the face of the internet that wasn't called "The Escapist Magazine", including Ganker.
meanwhile in reality: none of that happened and you can't prove it did
Unfortunately for you there's a lot of people like him and me who were actually here and saw it happen live.
>no proof
I accept your concession.
Can you prove that the whole thing was over a review that didn't exist? You're the one that made the initial claim.
I don't need to prove anything to a moron who flat out admits he's arguing in bad faith and trying to gaslight people.
define gaslighting
No.
it means you get banned from the thread, get outta here you aren't allowed to post here anymore because i said so
>a moron who flat out admits he's arguing in bad faith and trying to gaslight people
link the post where I said this, I'll wait (you won't)
None of what happened? That people were banned for discussing gamergate on Ganker or that depression quest got two instances of positive coverage ever? Man, I remember that even TB got shit for even commenting on it and threads were getting pruned from default subreddits for about two days. I mean sure, it was a nothing-burger when it comes right down to it, but it was entertaining. Though, if that didn't happen why did Fredrick Brennan advertise that gamergate discussion was allowed on 8ch? A mystery in of itself, I suppose.
>default subreddits
lmao Reddit
At the time reddit was supposedly a bastion of free speech as opposed to digg, so I guess it was the beginning of the end? Though, it was subreddit powermods not the administrators. I don't think the cofounder had offed himself yet at that point... could be wrong though.
>but it was entertaining.
You're the type of person who cheers for their own cancer, as long as someone else gets sick too.
Can I afford to care about GG in 2023? Like, honestly? Might as well smile about it in strange misplaced nostalgia rather than get angry about it.
Frick these conservative fricks who only fight to ruin everything.
>STILL no proof
>keeps seetheposting anyway
Alright I'll accept more concessions if you want
>no proof
I accept your concession
>n-no u
will this save anons ego after getting utterly BTFO? somehow I doubt it
>you: asks for proof knowing nobody is going to go dig up old drama from a decade ago

>you: u-um AKTUALLY I BTFO you! haaha take that!
Thanks for playing. Too easy. Better luck next time.
>make claim
>get asked for proof
>have autistic meltdown
yeah, sounds like you got BTFO to me
You're the one making the claim that this all about a "review." Where's the proof? I'll wait...
things that never happened: the post
Can you explain what you meant by this post?
Thanks for playing again. Keep BTFO yourself. lol
>still trying to no u after conceding the argument multiple times
that doesn't say what you claimed it does, not sure what this performance is supposed to prove?
>If I just pretend to misunderstand then I don't have to answer the question
>still no proof
You don't need to concede anymore bro, you can go get BTFO in another topic now.
>now resorts to just repeating himself because he has no proof, no argument, and can't even stay consistent in his talking points
Still waiting for the proof. lol
damn, I really upset you huh? KEK
>still no proof
Quick, keep stalling.
>he just keeps going
you will continue seething long after this thread has 404'd kek I literally ruined your day
Projection isn't a good look, anon. Surely you'll post some proof any moment now...
>make claim
>have no proof
>get humiliated and BTFO
>quickly construct a strawman
>desperately try to no u for 50 replies
>pretend to not be mad as frick
just take the L and move on, this is sad
>make claim
>people call out your claim
>you ask for proof
>people ask you for proof back
>w-well I don't need proof! but you do!
Thanks for playing anon. Keep BTFOing yourself, it's very amusing.
what claim did I make? (you won't answer and will continue being mad as frick)
I already told you, here:
You pretended not to understand. Keep embarrassing yourself further. lol
and I replied here:
you ignored my reply then continued seething and asking for proof of things I never said. You will keep up the performance until the thread 404s because you can't handle how hard I demolished your arguments
What did you mean or imply by your original post? Go on, moron.
I was making fun of goobergaters, are you really this dumb? KEK
And how were you doing that, anon? Keep going.
by typing in all caps and being facetious, can't believe I have to explain humor to you now KEK like getting annihilated on your garbage arguments wasn't enough. I'm beginning to think you have a humiliation fetish
>i-i was just pretending to be moronic
kek, I can't believe you'd stoop this low. Come on anon, you can do better.
>resorting to adhoms
damn, you really still this upset?
I wasn't calling you moronic, that was your argument. Keep up.
"I was being facetious" is literally you admitting that you were being moronic on purpose. Now that you've admitted that your original claim has no basis, I would just like to once again thank you for playing. Better luck next time!
wait so that's why you've been melting down this whole time? you didn't realise that this post:
was a joke making fun of goobergaters? alright man take it easy KEK
>I was just pretending to be moronic
Yes, we already know that. Anything else to contribute?
who are you quoting?
kek, are you trying to walk back your statement now that you've been BTFO? Anon, just stop. Stop embarrassing yourself.
walk back what statement?
That you were being facetious. kek.
why would I walk that back? you're the only person who didn't realise I was joking and went on a 50 reply seethefest
So you admit to pretending to be moronic. Thank you.
link the post where I said that (you can't)
Right here:
kek. Why do you keep embarrassing yourself?
That's not what that says, are you feeling okay?
>by typing in all caps and being facetious
What did he mean by this?
that I was typing in all caps and being facetious? is it because I used a fancy word like facetious? do you not understand what that means?
So you were pretending to be moronic. Got it. We don't need to go over it again. Any other talking points? Or are you out of steam now?
here you go man, you can read the definition and maybe that'll help you understand
Yes, we already got it. You were pretending to be moronic. Anything else?
Perpetual motion machine.
I accept your concession.
What are you going to do with all of these (You)s anyway?
1. who's we? do you have a split personality or something?
2. that's not what being facetious means, I posted the definition for you not sure what else I can do to help you get it
Treating serious issues with deliberately inappropriate humor isn't pretending to be moronic?
nope and I'm glad I got you to see that, took a while kek
I'm not seeing an argument. Are you being "facetious" again?
There hasnt been an argument since you conceded about 50 posts back, I've just been trying to explain very simple concepts to you
So you admit to having zero argument. That's very bold of you. Thanks for playing.
I'm beginning to think you have a poor grasp on the english language
You just admitted to having zero arguments for 50 posts. I think you need to go back to school.
yes, you conceded the argument and I accepted your concession. at that point the argument was over and you had a little tantrum afterwards
Can you post where I conceded? Thanks again!
Here's the thing shitface:
We here on this website are discussing events we saw happen.
If you don't believe us, NOBODY FRICKING CARES. No one has to prove SHIT to you. You're not welcome here, frick off.
>No one has to prove SHIT to you.

I'm in agreement with you, you're misreading the posts, doofus.

It's not fake lore, you gaslighting revisionist Black person. Grayson gave her undeserved coverage and mentioned her in his Kotaku shit articles. The "fake" news were direct reviews - but he did give her favourable fricking coverage in multiple articles on RPS and Kotaku.
The c**t fricked multiple guys for media coverage and it showed the cronyism within gaming media.
>a group of twenty year olds all blogging on bs gaming sites about shit their friends are doing = "cronyism in the gaming media"
yes, the gaming media is pretty pathetic in general
If they kept their dumb shit on Tumblr, nobody would've cared. The fact that is, that they gave each other favorable coverage across multiple articles and news outlets without disclosing their relationships.
That, and she fricked a couple of guys for it.
>favorable coverage
so?
>without disclosing their relationships
So you mean to say GG wouldn't have happened at all if the articles about depression quest said "made by a game developer friend of mine zoe quinn" instead?
>fricking guys to get coverage of something made as a personal project
that doesn't even make sense
if GG happened because it came out that dina chick dated guys at gaming outlets and they all gave mighty no. 9 rave reviews it would make sense, but over sites giving a passing mention to a twine pet project? do you hear yourself?
>So you mean to say GG wouldn't have happened at all if the articles about depression quest said "made by a game developer friend of mine zoe quinn" instead?
Yes. Though, something similar possibly could've materialized later, who knows. History is as it is written and all. Watershed moment and all that.
Honestly at this point my final view on GG was a bunch of seething "Gamers" fresh off sarkeesian's bullshit left themselves wide open to getting astroturfed. Like what the frick ever happened to that Milo clown and why did he give a shit in the first place
>Like what the frick ever happened to that Milo clown and why did he give a shit in the first place
He's a literal grifter.
that just proves my point then
anyway back to the thread I think the shit with MN9 was way "cringier" than gg
His GameJournoPros leaks were pretty interesting and it made me understand a little better how journalism works in general.
(Although admittedly, GameJournoPros was just JournoList's moronic little brother, but I never would've heard of JournoList without him either.)
In hindsight, when every single person who has anything positive to say about your movement is a lolcow, that is probably a bad omen for how people are going to remember it.
Milo was using it as a way to "own the libs" and try to get more followers for his own failed news media startup. It was pretty obvious from the start that he was going to try to twist it to push general conservative bullshit, and after gamers, who were overwhelmingly liberal at the time, didn't fall for it, he disappeared.
Well, some gamers fell for it. You could see this happen on the Kotaku In Action subreddit. The ones who just wanted to scream into the wind about trannies 24/7 all split off into KIA2, then KIA2 got banned because it was made up entirely of The_Donald users, and THEN THEY FRICKING CAME HERE.
Well, two things, FIRST: People on KiA are some of the dumbest people on the face of the earth, you're not wrong there. Second! KiA2 was never banned, they tried to force all of their users off of reddit because the admins were threatening to ban them for transphobia. That uh, didn't materialize and now automod just heavily censors it. Actually, let me add a third, all of reddit is fricked and the only people who post on KiA or the sequel are completely insane and as disconnected from the world as people on /misc/.
KIA2 was definitely banned around the same time as T_D finally got it. I guess they got unbanned at some point.
You're not wrong about them being the dumbest people on the planet. They fricking WON. Gawker went bankrupt, the FTC forced everyone to disclose conflicts of interest in media coverage, and they've spent something like eight years since doing...what exactly?
They went private and didn't allow anyone to post there, otherwise, I'll have to take you at your word that they were banned. Because... afaik, I can't think of a subreddit that has ever been banned and then unbanned, outside of name reassignments. Now, what have they spent eight years doing? Fighting culture wars and b***hing about the death of Reddit.
huh, so this whole time "trannies" were actually just the SJWs we met along the way go figure
Ganker always needs an enemy for whatever reason. Whether it's Ebaumsworld, Gaia, Tumblr, Twitter, Reddit.
troony cope.
why did everyone on this board stop saying homosexual anyway
troony is the same as homosexual
Because flippant use of the word "homosexual" has gotten people 3-day bans before. No I am not joking.
zoomers
>newbies so new they're no longer gays
weird
It's become so convoluted that we've collectively decided all our enemies are here and in every thread so there is constant infighting.
Milo killed himself when he went on Joe Rogan and defended pedophilia. Ever since then he's been lashing out at people for his own moronic actions.
>a bunch of seething "Gamers" fresh off sarkeesian's bullshit left themselves wide open to getting astroturfed
Yep. We basically had journos and Quinn at gunpoint but the most extreme people on our side (aka your average Gankerner) were useful ammunition to make us all look bad. Like they say, you're only as strong as your weakest link.
none of that smaller points mattered, the "bigger" emplyed journos at kotaku and all the other gaming news sites where exposed to all collude using a google doc hangout to plan what they would uplift and diss in their coverage:
They literrally decided the fate of games that did not tick their ideological boxes, U N D E R S T A N D that please
>a group of twenty year olds all blogging
That's literally all that gaming media is, to this very day.
Ironically, you are also wrong. Two of the five guys she slept with had given her game coverage. They weren't reviews, but indie games live or die on coverage.
was the game ever even for sale? why did anyone ever give a shit whether it got coverage or not
I think it was a free release, but the complaints aren't about money or sales (which is why you never see those mentioned) - it's about media being given coverage in publications without any disclosure, which is really basic journalism. Sites like Kotaku threw a shitfit about it all, but midway into the scandal they started quietly adding disclosure to all their articles.
s-shut up that doesn't count SHE GOT GOOD REVIEWS OKAY?? DON'T ASK FOR PROOF
>literally in response to a post saying that no reviews were given
>all-caps shitfit about reviews
This is why people laugh at you
shut the frick up libtard she got good reviews and everyone who was here at the time remembers that, you cant argue against my memory
Not sure why you're spending your day doing this. I'd seek help. Good luck!
Well, Quinn attempted to release on Steam Greenlight twice, and it eventually was released for free. Quinn certainly made money due to GG, but I'm not sure if outside of maybe getting a job somewhere that Depression Quest getting coverage would've led to any material gain for Quinn. But it's all speculative, because everything that materialized afterwards is so obviously a result of GG and anti-GG whatever.
Even if, it's such a small scale personal little experience. Maybe it's because I'm used to seeing moody little indie experiences that barely qualify as games and exist just to get a personal point across, and that DQ was a novelty at the time.
If a bunch of sites all suddenly pushed Undertale and no one mentioned they were all personal friends of toby fox I'd get the whole "ethics in games journalism" outrage, but it wasn't it was over 20 minutes of text that was never even for sale
Well, not to play both sides, but Zoe Quinn being who she was probably helped rope some of the less desirable people on the internet into amplifying GG-discussion on Ganker and elsewhere, even if they didn't have a clue what was going on, because "Five Guys Burgers and Fries" drama was interesting in of itself.
It's basically mandela effect. But everything that happened AFTERWARDS is the real news story. The Guardian refusing to put a disclaimer on a review for gone home by the dev's roommate and the leaked memo saying they don't care what the facts are, the EIC of WIRED admitting that they collude to push narratives through tech journalism, the Indie Game Awards being revealed as a racket, all culminating in the FTC bringing payola rules to the internet. It was a BIG DEAL.
>Indie Game Awards being revealed as a racket
in retrospect this shouldn't have surprised anybody
one, because again west-coast clique drama bs
two because so are every other game awards show
Remeber lauren wainwright and her bullshit? People were just tired of seeing nepotism
I'm honestly surprised that in the 9 years since GG, Zoe still has defenders despite being a shitbag who easily grifts from her white knights. Couple of you donated to her kickstarter game that she immediately abandoned and pocketed the money from, didn't you?
I'd frick 5 women for good reviews and you would too
You'd be fricking 5 gaming journalists, so 3 landwhales, one woman (man) and maybe one normal-looking BPD riddled mess.
it doesnt matter which ones as long as its a positive review to put on your box, so just pick ones that arent ugly
You don't get to pick, moron. You take whatever scraps you can get.
The good looking ones wouldn't bother with you
>ones that arent ugly

Not just big companies, but mid tier (a, aa) devs getting political.
the CEO of bulkhead interactive (who made the shitfest battalion 1944) disgraced himself dozens of times by showing on twitter that he's less intellectually capable of designing FPS games than a bunch of literal nobodies that he chose to argue with.
they had a policy of "transparent game design" that basically amounted to them getting into slapfights with just about anyone, and those conversations had some of the most moronic takes i've ever seen by a human being.
they ultimately released an unfinished game that they ditched almost immediately and never released the console version of the game or any of the expansions that were promised during the original kickstarter campaign.
when someone made fun of him for failing his aspirations despite always touting that they were a game studio that develops games which are their passion, he replied that battalion was clearly a success because he bought two landrovers and a new house with the money.
their next three ventures failed as well or were cancelled, and they haven't released a finished game since.
>he bought two landrovers

That was around the time I began to completely disregard game journos as human beings. I wouldn't ever make a big stink about it or do anything more than make fun of them and not read their articles, but they deserve to have lost the trust of millions after openly dehumanizing a large part of the gaming community for basically no reason.
i love this world we live in, misinfo about the gamer event that shook the industry, all the points in this thread tiptoes around the issue and acts all smug about it like the good little lemmings and midwhits they are, the gamer event was deep, more than any female dev could ever sleep around with, it exposed the entire journalist, and in essence control fo the information on how certain people want you to think about games, and what games to praise.
the gamer event was about exposing a literal journo mafia cabal, nothing about protecting gender, or hating gender, they made it so to defeclt and poison the well,just like occupy wallstreet.
To the ones that read this before i get removed in the high chance i might, my points are true, and you can find that info if you dig beyond the false plastered front they want you to see.
Video gaming
>a literal journo mafia cabal
We've known about these for decades or longer. News and journalism has always been either been sensationalist nonsense, bought and payed advertising, completely controlled propaganda for some vested interest, or all at the same time, for more or less its entire existence. You can read all about it in Manufacturing Consent and other works, it's incredibly well documented how fundamentally corrupt journalism is as an enterprise, and it's entirely the work of the media itself to give off a false impression of seriousness and authority. Any educated person should understand this.
The most hilarious part is that that structure actually has given us some genuinely great work for the public. Individuals on YouTube, however, are much cheaper for companies to buy off, as we've seen.
here
Mind you, you're right. You're 100% right. And Manufacturing Consent is bible. But yeah, shit's only worse.
Yeah, as a matter of fact the huge wave of misinfo painting GG as a sexism thing instead of journalist collusion seems to have succeded, as you can clearly see on this thread.
>IT SHOOK THE INDUSTRY
>meanwhile in reality: some people tweeted at women and harassed them based on false claims, gaming journalism is currently raking in record profits

uh oh looks like goobergaters are getting triggered by facts again
If half of the websites I know that covered video games in 2013 hadn't gone under I wouldn't had said anything.
Have you been living in a cave without internet for the last few years?
Can you provide your source or some numbers on how you came to the conclusion that game journalists are making record profits?
here's IGN stock price, I will now accept your concession.
Yes, IGN is doing well. The rest of the industry is not.
I accept your concession.
Keep saying it.
I accept that you have my (You), do you have any more fun bait?
>zero argument
I guess Xbox is doing well since Microsofts stock price is up. Is that your claim?
no my claim would be that microsoft is making record profits (and they are), consider yourself BTFO on this point as well
>walked right into the trap
And IGN isn't just game journalism either.
Thanks for playing, moron.
>Microsoft is gaming journalism
Why do morons on this site like to pretend they won when half a dozen of different people show how bad their arguments are? Is it some kind of cope? I don't think I saw this on any other site.
The purpose of the bait is to farm (You)s, the more (You)s you get the better your argument. Not like there's much else to do in this thread besides attempt to establish that something happened in 2013 and 2014 and everyone pretended after 2015 that something completely different happened... Or, talk about the prompt in the OP. Idk. What does it matter right?
>bait
Half the "bait" I see on this board can also be explained by people genuinely being as moronic as they look.
those posts either immediately conceded the argument or said "THAT DOESN'T COUNT", there is 0 counter argument to engage with so I just accept the concessions and move on. Your post is a poor attempt at an adhom because you also have no counter argument so I'll do the same to you: I accept your concession.
>conceded the argument or said "THAT DOESN'T COUNT"
They literally didn't. They pointed out the fact a simple site does not represent the entire market.
>NOOOOO IT DOESN'T COUNT THOUGH
kek, yeah that's what I thought
That's literally not what I said, you illiterate trog. It does count, it's just not enough.
>It does count
cool, glad I got you to concede this point. takes a big man to admit when he was wrong so well done anon
>one (1) website
At least try.
>stock price is profits
Babies first time looking at the stock market?
I suppose that is indeed what a website would look like when you have something akin to 100% market-share and diversified your product and placed it on Youtube. Not that stock-price is a be-all-end-all and IGN pays their freelancer pennies on the dollar.
>180% all time growth, over 20 years
that's a pretty f tier stock, which shows the company is doing poorly
He also ignored the fact that games journalism is only a portion of their content.
I was looking up fairy locations in Majora and the top videos were IGN, so I guess they really do have other content.
>YEAH SO WHAT IF THEY'RE MAKING RECORD PROFITS??? IT COULD BE HIGHER YOU KNOW
kek you really thought this was a good rebuttal
"Pro" Gaming journalism is disappearing fast and being replaced by youtubers. Patrick Klepick and his whole team just got fire last week. IGN is the only one still doing well.
>Record Profits
>gaming journalism is currently raking in record profits

Okay, I'mma head out. You put me in a very amused mood before bed. Thanks anon. Sometimes it's easy to forget that we're talking with morons here.

i know it might be hard to understand someone elses viewpoints for you , to ever conceptualize something in your mind since you are all NPC's unable to even form a mental image of an apple in your head, believing you know exactly how the world works and nothing bad ever happens in it, backroom deals and shady stuff has NEVER happened in the history of mankind, maybe for that one event they keep forcing down your throwat about a certain merry german painter and his life but apart from that nothing ever bad has been planned by powerful people and propagandists ever again, i get you, you need your captain crunch fruity loops and morning cartoons in your studio apartment to function every day but the truth ofthe world is more horrifying than all the horror movies and so called elder gods outside our reality nonsense.

Bro people got gaslit into taking an experimental drug createn the year before by the government and media. Games should be the least of your concerns with journos.
vaxx schizos will be hung up on this til the day they die. sad to see really.
How many boosters you on?
Zero.
Why? The government recommends continual top ups. Do you not trust the science?
Maybe your government, but I don't live in a country of red vs blue schizos.
It also recommends to not consume lead, so why aren't you in your contrarian ways drinking a shit ton of lead? Don't you know better than the science?
>The government is continually wrong or misinformed, which means you have to do the opposite of everything they say
That's... not how it works.
How does it work? Infowars told me onions was bad then peddled out onions in their products. I just need a strong reputable source like gary my crack addict down the street.
Instead of talking past each other, lets just cut to the chase; do you trust the government?
Instead of talking past each other let's just cut to the chase; Do you trust your schizo homeless people living in boxes like Joe Rogan?
>tries to talk past me and can't answer the question
Yeah, you just proved my point.
>Implying anything you have *ever* said (in your life) was worth entertaining.
This is why your parents beat the shit out of you growing up. You could have gotten away with doing all that gay shit at camp but instead you had to tell them
Interesting how you know everything about me from one post. I don't think you could project any harder.
Thanks for indirectly admitting that you trust the government I guess. Make sure you get your next booster. I think we are at booster number six now.
Government said leaded gasoline was bad but thomas midgley decided to own the liberal cucks by drinking lead. And your posts reek of a straight gay trying to cope with his closet gay tendencies. I can see the cuckservative ideology all over them.
And your post reeks of someone who can't cope with the fact he got conned into taking poison. Don't take it out on me, I didn't force you to get it.

Flu shots require top ups. You have literally no argument.
Those are different vaccines for different strains.
Every two months?
There have not been different covid boosters every 2 months, shitposter.

Sorry what was that?
All it says is you should consider, not that you have to.
And you don't think it's ridiculous that the government is recommending to get boosted every two months? You don't think that speaks to the ineffectiveness of the shot and how absurd the cult surrounding it is?
Okay, then go get your 99th booster.
Sad you won't be here to witness it.

Well, Zoe Quinn did embarrass herself, but I'm not sure if she's a game developer. Kotaku did say she was up and coming though, I wonder what she made after her quirky text game!
>GAMERGATE
I wonder what the internet would be like if that hadn't happened?
Well, 8ch probably wouldn't had taken off, and Ganker would've lasted... slightly longer before going to complete shit? Maybe Brenton Tarrant doesn't shoot up a mosque lmao. Idk. Reddit certainly would've certainly lasted at least two more years though if not for GG before becoming the worst site on the internet.
It also would have prevented the rise of the wave of anti-sjw grifters that still exist to this day (Ethan Ralph, Shoeonhead, etc)
Imagine unironically posting a picture of Bernie Sanders in 2023.
Imagine overreacting to a reaction image instead of addressing the post itself.
It speaks to how gay you are and that your opinion isn't worth shit.
I was expecting a fun thread about cringe devs so I was also disappointed as well but at least it's sort of a throwback
A few things but I bet new atheism probably would have lasted longer and the turn toward conservatism among terminally online young guys would have been slower since the whole anti-feminist thing took away a lot of the online atheist's thunder.
Then again, iirc being anti-feminist began being popular before GG. I wonder what the internet would be like had it not been for Anita Sarkeesian
During Anita, I would laugh at her but still vote Democrat.
After Gamergate, I'll never vote Democrat again.
I miss the Phil Fish days.
I think half the reason I hated him was because he always had the most homosexualy avatars, if he had a decent avatar he wouldn't have gotten as much hate

10 years later we're still paying for moot letting industry insiders decide what constitutes a rule violation.
10 years later and you're still coping. Kind of pathetic when you think about it.
My entire life is a series of copes buddy, I don't stand to gain by pretending otherwise. Do sane people stay up to 5:15 AM to post on Ganker? Nah man, it all went to shit years ago.
Became a cringe gamer moment of a thread
Invading redditors don’t understand how derailing works and insist that OPs are not gays
sorry bro, can't help myself. I see an oppurtunity to farm (You)s and I go to town
Here, have one more.
this could've been a good thread if you morons didn't talk about gamergate
You have to go back
The WoW devs admitting they play FFXIV
there was that Bioware dev who gave The Witcher 2 bad reviews from several accounts
ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED
after that nintendo stopped hiring people that ever posted on Ganker
Does it count if I only post on Ganker??
i don't know who i hate here more
the furry pedo or the roastie who runs to HR
HR, always hate the HR c**ts.
>vaporeon copypasta

CONSUME THE CUM CHALICE
chmielarz is such a weirdo
some of the stuff he writes makes it sound like nobody understands game design better than he does, but the painkiller is basically his only game and sometimes he says moronic shit like this
like why didn't he just fight if he hates stealth?
I used an infinite mp trainer to play the first dishonored because I figured if blink uses the same exact amount of mp that auto-regens then what's the point of having to wait
and being able to blink repeatedly without consequence broke the game and killed all my interest in it. oops.
I hate him just for the way he said it.
Holy cow this thread is getting gaslit HARD.
Gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss.
Gamergate was a symptom, not the disease. The end really was nigh.
And just like Ebaumsworld, Gaia, Tumblr, Twitter, and Reddit, trannies will eventually make up a substantial portion of Ganker's userbase bemoaning whoever the next designated enemy of the state is... presuming they don't off themselves first.
I still don't understand why anyone would reply to a obvious discord troony
they're practically dead already anyway statistically speaking
why care about their opinion?
God you homosexuals are so gay. All of you no life baiting troony homosexuals and the moronic dipshits falling for the bait.
Stick with the thread theme, you stupid homosexuals.
this fricking thread has gamingcirclejerk trannies complaining about /misc/, "chuds", or whatever else when they started talking about this shit since they have to obey their masters. pretty ironic considered half of this board also b***hes about the "pol" boogeyman even when that board is full of leftists and bots
>create a fun design of this weird Birdman who drags you around and throws you with superhuman strength
>uhhh nah let's just make all the enemies humans again
I FRICKING HATE MASCOT HORROR
Look, I've been on Ganker for more than a decade. People may or may not know me since I am a literally who. Hence, I was there when Gamergate started, when it exploded. But I wasn't there when it ended.
Do you know why?
It's because the entire "movement" turned into a piece of ass overtaken by people that don't give a shit about the videogame industry, that don't give a shit about videogames, that gave a rat's ass about videogame journalism. It became a parody of its own. It turned into a bunch of /misc/-tier frickery that didn't really solve or address anything - it just wanted to "own the libs" or "own the SJWs" or "btfo anybody that doesn't agree with me".
It was so hilariously stupid.
Gamergata failed because homosexuals on Ganker let themselves get taken over by morons from /misc/, board newbies, /b/ losers, and tourists.
/misc/ is the best board on Ganker.
What exaclty did you expect people to do, to buy Kotaku and fire the journalists? To place bomb under the journos cars?
Please do tell.
>/misc/ is the best board on Ganker.
Heh. Sure.
moot was so mad at that shithole because of gamergate. he honestly should have left the board in shitposting shambles permanently
Anyways, thanks for the heads up, since you said you are from that shithole, I will now not take you seriously anymore
/misc/ is a fricking blight that should've stayed gone if moot had the goddamned guts
What, don't like having a containment board?
a containment board doesnt work if the contained spread their shit everywhere, its why /qa/ got shut down.
I didn't even know what /qa/ was until it was shut down, then I saw schizo wojaks spammed here for weeks.
>everywhere
/qa/ only got blasted for raiding the mods' favorite board.
/AlphabetSoup/ works as a containment board for gay shit, /qa/ didnt work as a board to contain wojacks.
It's funny that you have the notion that people just disappear if a board gets deleted.
You are nothing more than cattle with no argument other than I don't like it.
>Ruined Ganker & Ganker
>Goes around dropping "redpills" to recruit people into their madness
>subverts board topics to b***h about politics
You got it wrong.
Entertainment got subverted, we are simply pointing it out. It's perfectly on topic to criticize movies and videogames.
You, as a mindless consumer and a normalgay who wants to follow the majority, hate when someone else with no apparent authority points out that the emperor has no clothes.
I suggest you abandon a website where authority has no social weight and where arguments hold all the weight like Ganker, it would do wonders for your mental health.
If anything /misc/ made all the other boards better.
>I AM BEING WHITE GENOCIDED AND WE ARE FIGHTING A CULTURE WAR
>NOW GO MY WARRIORS AND CALL EVERY OTHER POSTER A troony FOR NO REASON
Yeah no, the deficits of /misc/ far outweigh the benefits.
I've never been called a troony before, seems like a you problem to me
Then allow me to be the first, troony.
you literally walked straight into his trap. come on even my dog wouldn't fall for that.
>hold weight
Frick you and your "arguments". If I wanted a circkejerk, I'd go to reddit mate.
No, you don't like /misc/ because they prove your argument wrong. You must enjoy a circlejerk because /misc/ is anything but one.
Yeah, sure. Being an epic hate knight for Ganker is totally correct
This is not the place to write your youtube essay script
Go install LibreOffice or something homosexual
>Look, I've been on Ganker for more than a decade.
That's nothing. I've been a Ganker regular since the 90s.
I was using Ganker on Netscape navigator back when it was hosted at NASA, kid.
Nice try you larping homosexuals. Here's a hint: LONGCAT IS LONG
Well, I wasn't sadly
At the time I was only a regular of your mom
Kid, this board didn't exist in the 90's. It got temporarily shut down in the late 80's, only to be brought back in 2014. Stop lying.
I've been on "the chan" since it was 1chan serving as a WW2 soldier shitposting between artillery reloads
That’s a lot of historical revisionism you’ve got there invader
All anyone here did was tell the truth, the blowback against the truth is what started all this shit
Oh please.
You newbies have no right to call me an 'invader'.
Frick off namegay
>Truth
Yes, we literally just said she fricked guys for good ratings, that was it
The response to that spun out of control where those c**ts literally blamed everything on gamergate
You are a redditor that came here during the thick of it and now you’re stuck here forever trying to revise history
>that was it
>"hmm let's go to this website that is saying this"
>*sees everything*
>"oh dear lord these people are psychopaths" *gif of a van exploding*
>came here during the thick of it and now you’re stuck here forever trying to revise history
Hahaha. No.
You can even check the archives, homosexual. I dunno, are there even ones alive that has posts pre 2014?
It's funny how you homosexuals are trying to make it as if gamergate was always a gamer's thing.
It isn't. It was when it started, then gaylords like /misc/ and tourists and newbies turned it into a clusterfrick of a "movement" that did nothing but make itself look like a angry 10 year old that browsed /b/ a lot
Every post you make just confirms my statement that much more
>t. probably checked the archives to confirm, but conveniently pretends to be stupid
Sure it does, buddy
Anyways, I'm outta here.
Talk to /misc/cucks? Eww
Thanks for playing
Don’t forget, you’re here forever
See you in 5 minutes namegay
>All anyone here did was tell the truth
While spewing only the most vile hate speech that absolutely murdered the movement's optics.
Look at these invaders that are addicted and couldn’t leave trying to say people used to be nice here LMAO
Why do I have the funny feeling that a marxist israelite coined the term "hate speech"? Oh right, pattern recognition, silly me.
If you don't want to be called a trannie don't be one. Also I don't see how this is relevant to what I posted.
All the internet is shit. At least on /misc/ people can say what they want (eh mostly) and it's better than the alternatives.
Regardless "hate speech" is what people saw when they came to research who was speaking out against journos.
No speech censorship is a virtue. If words blind you to the arguments presented then you have a problem.
According to SCOTUS, there is no such thing as hate speech.
SCOTUS rulings mean nothing to the glorious white homeland of Britannia.
Is that so Ahmed?
Its crazy that there are actually homosexuals virtue signalling in this thread like their opinion isn't based on lies.
Zoe didn't make a game, it was a browser 'extension' that had 5 maybe or 6 questions, and would always lead back to 'you're depressed so you didn't'. To sit on this board, a board that scrutinizes the tiniest bit of quality drop or lack-of, and say that she wasn't getting unfair praise media-wise, is moronic.
>Journalist still bring up gamergate every once in a while still because their clique got ass blasted so hard
>That moment when they said Trump won because of gamergate
Look y'all, I wasn't here during gamergate but if I was I'm pretty sure I could have solved it. My friends say I'm a darn good mediator and I love discussing politics, it's one of the main reasons Ganker is my home board.
Mediate this
*brrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaapppppppp*
I went to /misc/ for a few hours one time. Some people there are pretty unhinged but one thing I respect is people posting sources for their claims, writing long posts that detail their arguments, and actually discussing shit. Ganker's /misc/shit is like pop science in comparison. Article headline screenshots, no sources, mindlessly throwing out political insults, the works.
>ITT: discord trannies and /misc/-tards shitting up yet another thread
Ganker should've practiced the gatekeeping it loves so much
It really, really should have.
True but it was all they needed to discredit us in the eyes of the masses.
Gamergate was a fricking mistake and Ganker welcomed /misc/ because it said things Ganker wanted to hear.
