I was informed a few days ago by u/AcidOverlord that KIA 1 removed their links to the original 8chan GamerGate thread.

I feel that it is necessary to help preserve our heritage as we approach the... JFC, 10 year anniversary of GamerGate. While the lies about everyone are still out there, we still do have the evidence of what happened on that crazy month of August in 2014.

So, I've linked those threads to our sidebar.

Here is the modmail that Acid sent, for transparency sake.


It seems like the end has finally come for the KiA/8chan GG relationship, at least with KiA1. They have quietly removed the crosslinks from the sub that pointed to the 8chan.moe/v/ board where the GG threads are still going, and the link to the great thread repository on 8chan.moe/gamergatehq/. The first link disappeared a few months ago and I asked Hat if there was a reason, and he said he didn't know and went silent.

Yesterday I noticed that the main link was gone as well, and started a topic to ask the community and mods if something had happened. They immediately removed the thread and said that it "belonged in modmail", but I have already asked them about it via modmail and received only silence as a response.

Its my speculation, but I've noticed a bit of a narrative over the past year or so building in their community where 8chan's half of the contributions that made GG a thing are being downplayed and dismissed. Like parts of the community and especially the mods want to divorce themselves from that bit of history and pretend that GG was solely a Reddit and Twitter affair. If I'm right, then this would seem like an expected eventual conclusion to that arc.

What do you guys say? If you link us, we'll change the thread links and links on the GG board from reddit/KiA to here in gratitude.

-- (Next Mail) --

Sorry about the delay. I have a problem reading modmail too.

Send me the links and I'll post them.

-- (Next Mail) --

The main GG discussion is on the videogames board. https://8chan.moe/v/

the GG archive is at https://8chan.moe/gamergatehq/

I'll let our boys know to updates the links. Long live KIA2.

Here's a copy of my post without the fucking redacted parts:


Some of you may be new, or recently returning to this sub. As such, you may be forgetting exactly how bad Reddit is, but I'm happy to use this mass shooting as a teachable moment. I assure you, over the past several years, we have seen all of these removals personally:

Since the shooter is transgender, comment and post removals will take place on this sub in all of the following situations:

The shooter must not be "traditionally gendered". That is considered an attack on an identity group. If you do not know the gender of the shooter, you may refer to them as 'the shooter', or 'individual' or by their last name.
The shooter is not to be called ugly. That is considered an attack on an identity group. No transgender person is allowed to be called ugly or unattractive on Reddit.
THE SECRET RULE IS NOW IN EFFECT. The shooter is not to be identified as having ANY [mental illness]. [This includes depression, suicidal ideation, gender dysphoria, none of them]. That is considered an attack on an identity group. This includes statements from the shooter themselves. By Reddit's rules, the shooter is wrong to claim that they [are mentally ill], based on their gender identity.
Calling for the death penalty for mass shooters is considered a call to violence. Death penalty advocacy of any kind is considered a call to violence.
Celebrating the death of the mass shooter is considered "grave dancing" which is considered glorification of violence.
Many people misunderstand Rule 1: This rule explicitly allows for identity based attacks on non-vulnerable demographics such as men, heterosexuals, Christians, 'cisgenders', etc. That being said, this subreddit will remove comments that we consider to be identity based attacks on those groups, whether or not Reddit sees those groups as deserving of hate. We consider that a violation of our rules, as we do not believe an entire demographic should be excluded from universal protections because Reddit deems them to be morally inferior.

Sorry, u/AntonioOfVenice , it looks like they really DID remove you for saying that we had to remove comments that said Post-Ellen Paige had depression.

This is the comment they removed for "harassment"

Comment Removed: You are not allowed to allege that any transgender has ever had any mental illness on Reddit.

You've probably seen other places argue what their game of the year was, but what was yours? What's not getting attention out there? Is it on sale? Can you give us a video of how it plays? And no, it doesn't have to be a game that came out this year. What's just the best one you've been playing.

Today we will discuss which games should be considered for having the "Best Art & Visuals", who should win our "Crossed Wires" award for the most egregious personal fetish self-insert.

I kinda think that although much of game journalism has become fetish self-inserts, I'm starting to think perhaps that should go to Balenciaga.

Today we will discuss which games should win our award for "Best Music", who should win our "Gingers Don't Have Souls" award for the most egregious piece of race-swapping.

You're definitely going to need to leave links to the best tracks and albums of the games you've played this year. Previously, we've had some real bangers.

For the "Gingers Don't Have Souls" award, which race-swapping or race-washing instance was most egregious this year. I think we should have plenty of contenders from Robin Hood, to The Little Mermaid, to Witcher Blood Origins, to LOTR and many others. Which one was the worst?

Today we will discuss which games should win our award for "Best RPG", who should win our "Zoe Quinn Award" for engaging in degeneracy for influence, and who should receive our "Golden Pooh" award for being the most subservient to the Chinese Communist Party.

Once again, don't forget to leave videos of walk-throughs, useful reviews, and/or links to sale pages.

For the Zoe Quinn award, I remember that an American politician made a porno to try and win an election, and there was another that was literally an OnlyFans model. Then again, we could nominate the entire transgender movement for basically this, but in every industry.

As for the Golden Pooh, we could hand it over to John Cena, or LeBron James, which would be traditional. But on the other hand, the WHO and Dr. Fauci might have earned it too. Alternatively, we could set 10% of the award for "the big guy".

Today we will discuss which games should win our award for "Best Shooter" and who should receive our "Gamers Are Dead" award for the worst piece of Gaming Journalism!

Once again, don't forget to leave videos of walk-throughs, useful reviews, and/or links to sale pages.

Here's a few contenders:

  • Kotaku: Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Fans Are Obsessed With A Yassified Water Starter Evolution (They want to fuck a pokemon)
  • Kotaku: The Furries of GTA Online Just Want To Play, But Jerks Get In The Way (Furry GTA Clan advertisement)
  • Kotaku: Report: Man behind Pelosi hammer attack was radicalized by Gamergate (Blaming you for the naked hammer-time attack that they do not want to talk about)
  • Kotaku: Here's how to add U.S. Supreme Court justices to Minecraft for no reason at all (literally insinuating violence against SCOTUS)
  • Kotkau: Stray Falls Into The Usual Orientalism Pitfalls Of The Cyberpunk Genre (The game where the protagonist is a cat and everyone is a robot is racist)
  • Polygon: "GamesGames Workshop’s Warhammer 40,000 setting has a problem with fascist fans. Alt-right partisans have tried to co-opt the hobby, using images of brutal despotism from its dystopian setting to further their cause."

And just as a reminder:

We're still right about Polygon: https://archive.vn/evgnA

Does a PS5 get considered an overpriced piece of shit? Should Argentina reminding everyone that it's a serious country be in the running for most Anti-Leftist stance? What about DeSantis sending illegals to Martha's Vineyard?

Okay, so next up is some good Hack & Slash games that you played this year. Be sure to let us know if you've got any good videos of watch of some playthroughs, and if it's on sale anywhere.

As was previously shown to me we can use this to check on deals: https://isthereanydeal.com/

And how about the Most Aggressive Propaganda? I feel like this might end up including the Trump Raid, the Balenciaga Scandal, the fact that the G-Word has been banned because certain big tech oligarchs support bad things to children, the attempts to cover over the Loudon County rapes, attempts to distract from the Twitter Files, and of course: the all-sides propaganda round the Ukraine War

We did a Game of The Year contest about 2 years ago, but it was a bit hard to manage and organize. That being said, I wanted to see what you all had in mind for game recommendations and memorable moments from this year.

So, discuss:

  • What was the best platformer you played this year? Tell us about it! Is it on sale? What made it special?

  • What was the absolute most pathetic corporate virtue signal this year? Was it the German soccer team's DIE display on it's aircraft? Was it when Epic removed police cars from Fortnite?

I'm posting my Reddit post here if people want to actually see what I actually did.


Dear fellow users:

We regret to inform you that u/AntonioOfVennice has been permanently suspended while engaged in moderating actions on the 5th of August 2021 due to what we believe may have been enemy action. Unfortunately, he was suspended for explaining the justification of a comment removal to a user.

To be clear: it was this explanation of Reddit rule enforcement which is a bannable offense. I can't tell you which rule he was explaining, because that would require me to do the same thing that got him banned: explain the rule.

[DoM's note: He told a user that Reddit removes comments that assert that transgenders have mental illness. Which they do. See the comments section for the actual image]

WHEREFORE: The rule I'm not allowed to explain to you has been made officially made into: THE SECRET RULE. You are not allowed to discuss this SECRET RULE, otherwise your comment will be removed. You are also not allowed to violate THE SECRET RULE, and I'm not allowed to tell you what it is. All references to THE SECRET RULE have been redacted as SECRET.

Now... I can't in good conscience punish you for violating THE SECRET RULE since I'm not allowed to tell you what THE SECRET RULE actually is. You have to... discover it by violating it, I guess?

In case you were wondering if Reddit is a fucking Kafkaesque nightmare site,

the answer is yes.

Will AoV appeal? Yes. Will that appeal be granted? Unknown.

Anyways, here is a listing of the latest proscriptions from Reddit if you weren't aware of what they already were:

Here are the current Proscriptions:

  • Orange Man Punctuation Anti-Loss site is automatically removed from all links, posts, and comments.
  • The Gateway Pundit is a Tier 5 (Black List) site on Reddit
  • Zero Hedge is a Tier 5 (Black List) site on Reddit
  • Project Veritas USPS Whistleblower video is banned off of Reddit
  • The Conservative Treehouse are automatically removed as a Tier 3 (Grey List) site
  • Do not post lists of allegedly deceased individuals who allegedly voted
  • Do not assert that voter fraud or voter irregularities have occurred.
  • THIS IS THE SECRET RULE
  • The National Pulse is now a Tier 5 Blacklisted site
  • Rumble is now a Tier 3 Grey List site
  • Trending Politics is now a Tier 5 Blacklisted site
  • Bitchute has been upgraded from a Tier 4 to a Tier 5 Blacklisted site
  • Project Veritas is a Tier 3 Grey List site
  • "De Donalt dut ween" is both a Tier 5 Blacklisted site, and you can't spell out it's name normally.
  • "Pay tree ots dut ween" is also a Tier 5 Blacklisted site, and you can't spell out it's name normally.
  • If an individual asserts that they are a gender, then you are not authorized to identify them as any other gender than what they asserted; nor that they have not attained that gender.
  • You can't call transpeople ugly.
  • [New] Stardia Post is a Tier 5 site
  • [New] A Voice For Men is a Tier 3 site
  • [New] 90min.com is a Tier 3 site
  • [New] THE SECRET RULE is apparently secret

Please do not violate these rules by testing them, I have tested them myself to confirm them. If you want me to test others, let me know.

Thanks to u/BandageBandolier 's suggestion on our Win site, feel free to use BBC Pidgen version of the Orange Man site: "De Donalt dut ween". That means you can't use the English translation of DeDonalt.ween nor De Donalt dut ween.

Also, I am going to re-implement our old Border Security proceedure. New users and users who have little posting history on the sub will be permanently suspended if they violate a sitewide.

I was thinking we could try to host a few gaming competitions. Nothing too crazy obviously, probably just some specific titles that more than a couple people play, and see if we can try and get high scores.

Maybe if we can figure out a way for us mods to pay for things we could even do some sort of awards for the winners

We can use these competitions to form external centers of gaming communities, outside the spheres of influence of Leftists who seek to destroy any actual communal cohesion.

Let me know if this caused any fires to break out.

Someone had a good idea last week about making a kindness post.

Fundamentally, it is important to build communities and institutions through affirming actions and efforts. A forum devoted solely to bitching and complaining will never work, and could potentially toxify (though in our case I doubt it would be too bad because you all are capable of self-regulating).

That being said, I like the idea of making one post every week that is specifically devoted to, not simply good news, but good affirmations to each other.

Please post positive things in this particular thread. Also, feel free to ping other users with compliments, kindness, and affirmations.

Think of it as a morale building exercise!

These are the Electors. If you can't participate. Please let me know now so I can adjust how our voting structure is set up. I haven't heard from many of you, so at least make yourself known.

I'm going to make a reply to the post for each category and their nominations, as well as links to the original posts. I want you to vote on the winner of each category as you deem fit.

I will list the nominations for each category, and the number of times it was nominated. If you would like to see the number of upvotes for each nomination, please check out the original post. You will find all the arguments and evidence there. You may vote for a completely different nomination if you so chose. As I've said before, vote your conscience.

If you do not wish to cast a specific vote for anyone, vote "abstain".

If you wish to deny an award for a category a recipient altogether, vote "drop". Some individuals have recommended dropping categories with less than 4 nominations. You may chose to do this if you wish.

Our objective is to get to a 3/4ths consensus on the winner

Please let me know if you do not intend to participate. I'll leave this thread up until about Monday when I will announce the results.

Today we will discuss which games should win our award for GAME OF THE YEAR.

Please consider what you would like to argue should be the winning item for each of the passing categories.

Consider who you would like to nominate as your electors. You may choose 3 electors to cast votes for you on your behalf. Persuade them as necessary. You may choose yourself once.

This will be your last chance to nominate electors. Look over the previous discussions to see who you agree with and think would vote the way you want.

Your Elector nominations so far are:

We are at 14 out of 12 electors.

If you are an elector, let me know on what platforms we can discuss our nominations. I have Discord, .win, Saidit, Poal, and Reddit. Alternatively we could use u/acp_k2win 's Ruqqus I think.
