This is happening today. Rian Johnson namedropping GamerGate as a "harassment campaign" and giving Zoe Quinn ass-pats.

So… this just in: The Escapist has been bought by some new jokers, and the new managing editor is one Russ Pitts http://deepfreeze.it/journo.php?j=russ_pitts He posted this: https://medium.com/@russpitts/the-last-of-escapist-magazine-5dd4f852703a Of note, he claims the following: "One thing I can tell you without delay or equivocation: We’re leaving politics at the door. Most of us have thoughts about politics. Just like most of you. And, because we’re creators, those thoughts might show up in our work. Avoiding that would be unnatural. That said, I can promise you no one here will share their politics in an attempt to convince you yours are wrong. And your worth will not be calculated based on whether you’re on the left or on the right. Politics are everywhere, but they don’t have to be everything. We’re going to focus on what’s fun, and we hope you’ll join us in that." >We’re leaving politics at the door >I can promise you no one here will share their politics in an attempt to convince you yours are wrong This sounds great… but… apparently one of the first things he's done as editor is re-hire Movieblob Chipman. Movieblob wasn't slow to quickly declare this as some kind of victory:

So how many guys did she slept with to enter the comics industry? >from writer Zoë Quinn (Crash Override, featured in People’s 25 Women Who Are Changing the World and Forbes’ 30 Under 30) with art by Robbi Rodriguez (Spider-Gwen, FBP: Federal Bureau of Physics) will debut in December >In a near future where all of humanity’s needs are administered by a godlike A.I., it’s one young woman’s horrible job to do tech support on it. But when Cassandra finds herself violently drawn into a hidden and deadly digital world beneath our own, she discovers a group of super-powered women and horrific monsters locked in a secret war for the cheat codes to reality.

The Prophesied End The website Kotaku, one of Gawker's former properties and one of the major opponents faced by #GG and gamers around the world, is in a dire situation. Univision, the new parent company who bought up Gawker's old properties (Gizmodo, Kotaku, Lifehacker, Deadspin, Jezebel, io9, and others) is currently facing a minor crisis. Univision bought Kotaku in the wake of the devastating Hogan trial believing, to some degree, that the Gawker properties were actually breadwinners and that Gawker had merely been sunk by an untimely lawsuit. Why else would they sink millions of dollars into them? But the Gawker sites are now underperforming. Badly. DISNOD long ago stripped Gawker, and especially Kotaku, of its major ad revenue sources and many of us suspected that Kotaku itself was only being kept alive by cash infusions from other, slightly less crippled Gawker properties. Univision are now feeling that financial weight like an Albatross around their necks, and they are pissed. Word is that Univision is about to do a major overhaul and possible decimation of the old Gawker sites, and we have an opportunity to help them put Kotaku out of the entire Internet's collective misery.

Hello, it's been a while since I really posted here. I usually lurk. In the previous 2 #GamerGate threads on /v/, I suggested that every attacks by video game journalists against Japan must have repository in future usage. Because people like us are going to need it. Sort it by writer, website, genre(anime, culture, video games, manga) so it could be read clearly by people who will find the repository useful. Because if there's anything that needs documentation, it's their immense hatred against Nipland because they haven't fully bent their knees to feminism and social justice because equality and diversity. Their attacks won't go be forgotten. PS: Post screencaps with archives both from archive.is/li/fo and Wayback Machine since there's some DNS problem regarding archive.is and some anons cannot access it.

Why do we need so many GG threads? Nobody is working on the ops anyway. It's all mainly shitposting. Why not just bring it out whenever a big vidya-related event happens?

https://archive.is/X2MBb > The [World Health Organization] is proposing a new “Gaming Disorder” type of classification for addictive behavior, likening it to gambling disorder in a beta draft for their International Classification of Diseases for next year. > The current proposition has the diagnosis listed under “disorders due to substance use or addictive behaviors,” and is also detailed as “mental and behavioral disorders that develop as a result of the use of predominantly psychoactive substances, including medications, or specific repetitive rewarding and reinforcing behaviors.” > The classification goes on to describe this type of behavior: “Disorders due to addictive behaviors are recognizable and clinically significant syndromes associated with distress or interference with personal functions that develop as a result of repetitive rewarding behaviors other than the use of dependence-producing substances,” words from the gaming section. “Disorders due to addictive behaviors include gambling disorder and gaming disorder, which may involve both online and offline behavior.” > As this draft is in beta form, this doesn’t mean the World Health Organization is ready to label millions of gamers, including myself, as addicts. They could remove it before the final form is approved and published. Irrelevant of actual addicts, we know this can and will be abused by the usual anti-gamer types to their advantage. If they can't claim games corrupt sane people, then they'll try to claim all gamers are addicted or insane. Other tricks could include hypocritical application- spending thousands of dollars on a mobile app is fine, but binging on a violent or new game when you get it is clearly a problem. Or watching X hours of TV, using the internet, or reading is not deemed addiction when the same amount of time gaming is. As mentioned in the article's comments, waiting to see what happens won't work. We need to get the pitchforks out now to show we won't be fucked with or take it lying down. All we have so far is contact info for WHO: http://www.who.int/about/contacthq/en/ not sure if asking them what the terms of diagnosis are would help us by exposing their hypocrisy or lack of understanding in replies, or just give them a guide on how to spin common questions they'll get.

ICup is happening again. WE NEED A TEAM Discuss team, uniform and emblem. GG must win.

The ride never ends as some people continue to blame GamerGate for trolling Star Wars' Kelly Marie Tran out from social media.

I've set us up an Extra Life Team. Join or donate if you feel like it http://www.extra-life.org/team/gamergate

Candace Owens just recently assblasted Zoe Quinn on The Joe Rogan Experience. https://youtu.be/7Nnzpy5GRak?t=1h4m56s

Asshole on the right got his feelings hurt because a woman didn't lead a Christian lifestyle. And for all your "hard work", Jeff Gerstmann told you to fuck off for not starting when he was fired, and Trump is gonna take away your video games.

Saw some TORnon talking about CON in the offtopic general (>>281680). Decided to make a thread because I'm autistic and can't find shit in the catalog. CON is Ms. Quinn's anti hate group. According to Wikipedia (https://archive.is/XtaRN) they're a "Pro bono support group for victims," however with Ms.Quinn's past in hell dump I wonder how much of her anti hate group is truthfully helpful. She links to her patreon (https://archive.is/FyFF2) and makes well over 3000 dollars a month, yet no one else's is mentioned. This implies Ms.Quinn's the main beneficiary of any and all donations–a literal "con" if you will. This makes me question who and what is actively helping her, overall, outside of the obvious parties. Looking at Ms.Quinn's past, I noticed things that feel… preplanned. > Congress (https://archive.is/kp8i3) > Google (https://archive.is/hpdJC) > UN (https://archive.is/mTdnY) Quite an odd career path for a compulsive and chronic abuser who, by their own logic, raped their ex-boyfriend. So, GamerGate, what can you tell me about Ms.Quinn's Crash Override Network? What digging have you done? Is this just a massive conspiracy by Ms.Quinn to spread disinformation so others can be more easily doxed? Have you look at the self dox guide posted by con (https://archive.is/xo9lT)? Now looking at what TORnon said, alternatives would be a good way to help dismantle and disprove CON, yet normies seem to lap up anything their news feeds or the talking heads on the TV say. If we were to start a campaign and offer up alternatives like Paranoidsbible (paranoidsbible.tumblr.com) or School of privacy (school-of-privacy.com) to normies, how would we go about showing them as being the betters of CON? School of privacy seems a bit too technical. Paranoidsbible is fine but doesn't seem to have the presence. One we can solve easily with boosting it across social media while the other we can't actively doing anything about. So, what says you GamerGate?

You probably heard the news somewhere on the internet that a puritanical Christian organization called Morality in Media (new name is called the National Center on Sexual Exploitation or NCoSE for short) is claiming that their responsible for the latest censorship on steam forcing games like Huniepop for example to censor more content or get permanently kicked off Steam. Some info about them https://archive.fo/MLYFF https://archive.fo/aidAx They talk about steam around the 11:30 mark https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejJ4WcxU1Rc For whatever reason for Valve's irrational decision on attacking Anime games I'm making this announcement to encourage emailing Gabe directly or their VP of Marketing to reverse this decision. https://www.valvesoftware.com/en/contact?contact-person=Gabe%20Newell https://www.valvesoftware.com/en/contact?contact-person=Doug%20Lombardi Signing this change.org petition is optional too https://www.change.org/p/valve-software-do-not-remove-huniepop-and-other-sexual-content-games-from-steam

HIT GOOGLE WHERE IT HURTS So you want to kill google? And not just kill it, fucking demolish it? Three things need to happen. All of Google's money comes from advertising, analytics, and hosting. To kill google we need to drive up their operational costs while lowering their profits. Fuck with their advertisements If you have ever worked with adsense before you will know that the one thing they absolutely despise is telling people to click ads. They want people who are actually interested in products to click advertisements, because only they will be persuaded to purchase products. On top of that, companies pay google per click. If they are paying a ton of money and few people are buying their products, they will pull out. STEP 1: Go on to youtube, google shopping, or anyplace else with adsense ads in private browsing mode on a vpn or proxy. STEP 2: Click all the ads you possibly can STEP 3: Hop on a new proxy/vpn/tor circuit, and clear out the browser STEP 4: Repeat ??????? LOSS OF PROFIT Fuck with their file storage (NOTE: This step has been discussed in the /tech/ thread, and consensus was it was highly unlikely to work unless we had HUGE numbers of people) Google stores everything you upload, and keeps it there even if it gets "deleted." Storing stuff costs lots of money, and high speed ssd drives to keep it all on aren't cheap. The more you upload, the more they pay. STEP 1: Choose a platform that allows you to upload files(eg: youtube, drive, gsites, ect) STEP 2: Get a file that is at or over the maximum file limit STEP 3: Upload it again, and again, and again, and again
