Despite the fact that GamerGate was literally the hashtag about the media's attack on Gamers.

The mistake was saying she slept around to get positive press, which was incorrect. She actually slept around to get everything. Press for her game was just one of many things she purchased via cooch.

There was no mistake. Within a few days of the full "gamers are dead" onslaught nobody gave two shits about her. Nathan Greyson was the target because he was the ethics breaching journo in their bed.

The narrative that anyone actually gave a shit about her beyond "wow she is a piece of shit" and shitposting was AGGs and her own. Which they managed to successfully even convince GG was true by shoving her into the conversation every month.

I'm still convinced someone diabolical - possibly someone with billions in political donations - deliberately caused this to blow up like it did.

Everyone knew "game journalism" was just ads for the game. Normally everyone would have said "wow I knew what shitty people" and moved onto something else a month later.

Maybe, but I think it was just a perfect storm of EXTREMELY VISIBLE events that all happened too close together so much that a lot of normies caught on.

That's why the beginning of GG was filled with "the good Liberals" and people who thought things like trannies and feminism were fine, it was just a few bad eggs. Its why KIA1 is still a joke of a hugbox talking about generic hobby stuff with a small bent instead of anything of merit.

The funniest thing was, that there was no 100% concrete evidence that she had slept with Grayson to get the positive coverage for her game.

People were told that they had slept together, and we knew that he had given her game positive coverage. But that's it. It was the fact that people turned to Grayson and simply asked him: "Hey, what's up with this? Can you elaborate?" and his (covert) reaction that kicked off the whole thing.

It's almost never the crime that gets people in trouble and almost always the cover up that does them in.

There's nothing stopping companies from instituting rules in support of religious ideology, first amendment freedoms, and successfully fending off SJW trash. See Hobby Lobby.

The faggots can work there, they just can't espouse their faggotry to bully their co-workers with it. At the first sign of proactive activism of their gender-queer bullshit the corporation can claim religious freedom to shit can them.

I'd seriously doubt that a corporation couldn't define its culture in such a way as to state that such politically aligned activism is detrimental to the cohesiveness of their corporate culture to prevent such it entirely, but it would also be required to squash all such activism on all sides, which I'm ok with, TBQFH since I haven't been able to espouse my own political views in a business setting since I began working while having homosexual, white man bad, dogma stuffed down my throat.

It wouldn't stop the faggots from being employed their, but as mouthy as they are, it wouldn't take long for the corporation to build a case to justify firing them. FIRED! Reason? Mouthy cunt!

Technically she has experience. She was the VP(or pres, I forgot which) of the company that made Skylanders, the Tony Hawk games among other things for 13 years or something like that, before blizzard bought it, so it’s not like she’s totally inexperienced, but I do think they should’ve promoted someone who didn’t just enter blizzard.

"Gamergate harassment campaign". It is now clear that the only "controversy", about alleged conflict of interest in games reporting, turned out to be false. This article is now unequivocal in describing Gamergate, accurately, as a "harassment campaign", introducing it as such in the lead sentence, but for some reason (perhaps move request fatigue) the article title never changed.

GorillaWarfare is in every major Wikipedia article aggressively pushing out Left-wing propaganda, from election fraud to Hunter Biden to the vaccines.

GorillaWarfare -- I'm almost 99% sure -- is a crazy tranny. There is no woman on this green Earth as aggressive and testosterone laden as that thing. I get tired even reading all the BS that thing spews, and if you look at its writing style and the way it frames arguments, it's all very masculine. Most women like to make things personal and emotional... not that thing.

Hmmm, not really. I saw her posts back when she came there, in the Chris-chan incest rape megathread, but even then her profile page was inaccessible, possibly because people were spamming her page - and I don't want to go digging for her posts by hand because that thread was gigantic. It also looks like @-mentions of her nickname don't work either.

However you can still find mentions of her if you just search KF for the "gorillawarfare". Turns out people have noticed her long before the Chris fiasco, even though she never got her own thread.

There was a point where I realized those hyperaggressive reddit commenters were constantly self-projecting. They were doing - whatever they were accusing you of doing. They hate men so they accuse you of hating women. They're harassing people so they accuse everyone else of harassing them. Etc. I started to wonder if they were simply bots as once you started looking for it it was extremely predictable.

Then I ran into someone in real life - you could tell just by looking at him that he was an egomaniac - he was going on about something and I realized he's doing exactly the same thing. He knew he was responsible for something, so like clockwork he's blaming everyone else for it.

I think it's something about being an egomaniac. Like you can't differentiate your own actions from others.

They want to harrass people. And they know it's "bad". So they run around accusing everyone else of doing it.

Do you know where "false flag operation" came from? It's from the actual nazi's dressing up their own troops as polish and attacking themselves in order to claim poland attacked them first. It's an entire mentality for egomaniacs.

I would say 3/4 of the commenters that were in screen shots taken on re-edit were sock puppets of the authoritarian left. Most of these accounts have now been deleted , not banned , deleted by their owners . It is almost like they were trying to cover up their tracks.

Remember when Wikipedia was a household name? When's the last time you heard anyone talk about it IRL? Hell, when's the last time you heard anyone talk about it in a positive way period?

The cancer has spread too far. Wikipedia is a walking corpse just waiting to die. Incidentally, this would be the perfect time for someone to create an alternative with a strict "no leftists" rule. I guarantee it would see overnight success.

There have been numerous attempts to create competitors of Wikipedia with different policies to fix these problems: Wikinfo, Citizendium, Infogalactic, Everipedia, and many many more. The problem is that Wikipedia is a natural monopoly. Few people will expend effort writing and maintaining articles for a small project that almost nobody uses.

– WhoIsThatMaskedMan 1 point 4 years ago +1 / -0

Wikipedia was a natural monopoly. More and more people are dropping it, especially when it comes to anything even slightly political. Everyone knows that it's completely worthless when it comes to politics, history, or anything tangentially related to a Current Year issue.

At this point, the entire site is being propped up by a very small group of leftist zealots who desperately need to control the narrative (or else they don't get paid by their super PAC). Anyone even remotely right of Pol Pot has fled and is looking for a place to go.

The problem with the sites you mentioned is that they started too early and they're too similar to Wikipedia itself. They're doomed to the same fate. A real replacement needs tighter controls over who can edit and checks and balances to prevent a handful of troons from taking the entire thing over and turning it into yet another branch of the DNC.

Don't just sit here and bitch about it and do nothing.

Grow a spine and go on Wikipedia and oppose the rename proposal.

What is the worst they can do? ban a fresh account that took you less than a minute to create? And if you are super civil then their ban will be easily appealable as being unreasonable and the blowback to "GorillaWarfare" could be huge.

Don't let this pass unopposed.

The talk page is "semi-protected", which means that, no, fresh accounts cannot comment on the proposal. And even if one managed to, it would be immediately dismissed as a "single-purpose account".

Most Wikipedia editors who invested time and effort trying to fix the article have long since given it up as a lost cause. A dedicated mob of established administrators with endless time on their hands have blockaded even the smallest of sensible edits.

That will get you an instant permanent ban. They've permabanned former Wikimedia Foundation employees for asking them to uphold NPOV over Gamergate.

You get the same for opposing Transgender. They banned Darkfrog for proposing an RFC about it, made up some excuse that is provably not true, and banned everyone who spoke up in Darkfrog's defense.
