...Except collusion like the article claims is actually pretty damning, if everything checks out. Beyond exposing unethical behavior, it would be nice to have tangible proof that these sites are, in fact, actively working together to promote certain individuals and agendas.

I personally don't agree with a lot of Breitbart's political stances but as long as they're accurately and truthfully reporting information, it's irrelevant.

Well holy crap..
Moot has decided to ban all Gamergate related stuff...

IP range bans are in effect

And a mod seems to know ZQ o.O
Da hell is going on....
Do they really all know each other, every single one?

Even the Internet is tired of this already.

I've read people are switching to 8chan now.

4chan wants to avoid controversy.

Well, seeing as they also mod motherf-ing /b/.... Isn't this one of the signs of Jesuses second coming? Is the rupture near? BEing Agnostic I don't know for sure, better join a bible study group just to err on the safe side.

p.s.: sargon is on a hangout with a non rad feminist atm, quite interesting:

shitizzle got real, milo of breitbart made a big bunch of the private gamejourno google group public (sans the phone numbers which were in milos post on his private blog before he took it down again): http://pastebin.com/h7AncZTE

I would prefer not to be associated with this. It feels wrong to me. I think it feels very off to reach across the fence from journalist to subject in this way. I prefer professional distance, especially given the accusations being levied at us from outside.
— Mike Futter, Game Informer

Not to repeat IA, but... It's crazy we live in a world where it's the Game Informer writer showing more integrity here. Man, Game Informer (a Gamestop publication), IGN (Mount Dewm), Geoff Keighley (His Holiness, The Doritos Pope) are all coming out of this squeaky clean. They're corporate through and through, sure, but at least they're honest about it. At least they can smell the bullshit.

And hey, give Geoff Keighley a break. He always looks sort of sad and defeated; he doesn't revel in it like these clowns.

3. I don’t care if this jilted moron walks around with sad puppy dog eyes for the rest of his life, the fact of the matter is that Zoe – and those closest to her – were put in very real danger by the things he posted online. As in, danger of physical violence. If he was with Zoe for any length of time, he would have known what a mob of angry insane misogynists were capable of, but his pissy little feelings were more important.

The fuck.

How to get banned on 4chan: post this:

My point being that they more or less decided not to purge the nude leaks and all other kinds of crap, but are purging this.
I'm kinda sad even Arstechnica is on the blacklist... They had some nice technical articles from time to time :/ but I'm not clickfeeding those fuckers anymore

But they did purge the nudes
Maybe not with this severity but they do delete threads and remove pics, even on /b/. 4chan is completely neutered.

 

[FireGrey]

Since 4chan is kill, looks like we'll be taking over.
I'll do all the shitposting.

More Doxxing by the SJW's. They even got the one who thought up the #notyourshield fired....
Mighty No.9 comunity manager blocking people from the page etc.

Every day a new controversy it seems :s

Plus...

The Escapist got DDOS'd. They're sticking to their guns, thankfully, but it's still pretty ridiculous.

Some Neogaf users were trying to figure out how to get Milo arrested.

EDIT: Okay, now this is getting weird...

I love how most of the guys partecipating in the "GamerGate" are just psychopaths.

If there EVER was a small bit of usefulness in this entire debate it's entirely drowned out by the shitheads who do all this weird stuff.

 

[DCG]

hmmm, probably a sjw who wants to give him aids or something?

 

[Gahars]

Can we take a second to acknowledge how great Hotwheels is?

Dude can barely eek out a living or even leave his apartment (though I guess he does still have his cis white male privilege) and he's still putting all this work into 8chan. Already implementing new features (some of which 4chan doesn't even have), fixing the servers, allowing free discussion, etc.

That's kinda what I like, as it gives me opportunity to troll extremists of both sides... WITH SCIENCE (and facts and logic).

Yet there's still a huge load of decent fellows involved, pro as well as contra. Had intellectually stimulating as well as side cracking funny convos resulting from the tag.

Nah, if it's from an SJW it's most likely a drug to turn him gay in order to let him experience homophobia first hand.
Wait a second...


Anyway: IMHO best contender for pro GG anthem yet:
