Maybe the real GamerGate was the nothing that Kotaku learnt from it

gamergate is such a crock of shit.
from what i can tell, games journalists and game developers got exposed for fake reviews, some paid off with money, others even trading sexual favors and literal prostitutes for positive press. and when it got exposed, the games journalists didn't want their racket shut down, so they just started screeching that anyone who didn't bow down to them is racist, misogynist, homophobic, antisemitic, etc.
then to take an even weirder turn, some trannies spent a shitload of time rounding up the troon brigade to run massive wikipedia editing wars to retcon it into some huge harassment movement over a bad breakup. gaming journalists realized they were losing in the court of public opinion, so they flipped the entire narrative over to this.
which is no surprise that kotaku wrote this, because amber heard and her crimes against johnny depp have nothing to do with any fake reviews or tranny breakups... it's just more smokescreen from the basic facts.
You're entirely right. Good write up.
Emphasis on the journalists trying to run cover and make articles flipping the narrative completely backfiring on them. Gamergate is a victory, some people think they won but don't realize how bad game journalists' reputation were hit, including some fired, that to this day it is an insult to be called a "gaming journalist".
Just because the rags that survived pretend nothing happened, and cucked sources like Wikipedia (which is also a website whose reputation was permanently scarred by this) cover it up doesn't mean everyone doesn't know the truth. Look at any popular account like SomeOrdinaryGamers talking about GamerGate, everyone knows the truth.
Exactly this, the gamers are dead articles made me realize to them I was racist/sexist/nazi just by living and breathing, meanwhile actual piece of shit ZQ and I'm told to mind my own business. Never trust mainstream culture again.
Good job, just keep posting this stuff everywhere it comes up. When the clown regime collapses someone will need to be around who can tell our children the true story.
You're close, but not quite there. This is the actual article that spawned it :

People put two and two together based on this article and the Zoe Post.
Grayson wasn't even at Kotaku at the time, he was at RPS.
ARCHIVE you fay gaggot
Takes too long. Don't like it, don't click it.
I see you also learned nothing from GamerGate.
You also answer this question: https://kotakuinaction2.win/p/15IXfzfN4y/x/c/4OZqOwc6mlU
It's people like you.
Yes, the 0.000000001c they made from add impressions paid their staff.
From their Alexa ranking, ad impressions won't keep the lights on in a linen closet, much less an office with staff.
You should make this its own post.
Considering that Kotaku is pushing a political agenda that has nothing to do with gaming the "we" should be the games media. Have any of the sexual predators working there been caught yet?
all she has to do is tweet ONE x-ray of her broken nose.
She can't.
The "medical records" she and her lawyer keep alluding to as "supressed evidence" are not actual medical records, but therapist notes. AKA "shit Amber said".
There is no proof because it never happened. All independant third parties who testified said she had no visible injury, and several testified she was the one doing the screaming, breaking things and hitting Johnny.
If it reminds you of a certain Who pushing a man to suicide with false accusations, DARVO-style, it's because both are Cluster-B Borderlines
They learned they can get away with smearing groups as misogynist if those groups dare to criticize an abusive liar who is also a woman (if protecting them aligns with the leftist hivemind's interests)
But Amber Heard doesn't have same levels of NPC support as Quinn did. Everyone knows this is bullshit. I don't think it will work as well for them this time.
I mean, sure, tie the proven-by-court-of-law abuser to Gamergate. Which started because of a notable abuser who cheated on her boyfriend. Gee…can they connect the dots already. Do they have enough self awareness? Nope, clearly not.
Sure, lessons weren’t learned. Kotaku clearly didn’t learn shit here
The way I remember GG was that people were wondering just who the heck ZQ was, then they found out the five guys situation, and the whole thing exploded. Like, why would so many people bend over backwards for this person? So they dug some more. Oh look, everyone is financially tied to another, and they literally do sex for favors. That's like the opposite of what you'd want from your press. They're supposed to be at least somewhat impartial. This is just fucking your way around and finding out that people don't like that. The biggest snub though, had to come from the fact that literally no one cared who ZQ was, just that people would go out of their way to say something positive about a clear abusive manipulator ... Ohhhh, I found out why they're defending Amber.
How are they still able to pay for staff and an office and their webhosting ?
Who are the folks giving them money ?
