masterpug53 06/30/23 1:10:13 PM #10:	Yeah, for a brief window in 2009. I still for the life of me can't figure out why I started hating all women and minority characters that came after that time while continuing to put on a pedestal all the women and minorities that came before. Obviously it's not the result of any personal shortcomings stemming from nostalgia-fueled immaturity and arrested development, so I can only reasonably conclude that woke sjw pandering bullshit is the culprit. --- Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read https://imgur.com/1WshTZu - by DB_Insider https://imgur.com/eW67nT8 - by Wii_Shaker <cite>masterpug53 posted [p:974531878] in Remember w...

As much silly as Angry Joe is he did a great job exposing review copy and game sponsored press junket goody giveaways. Also Dorito Pope will live in infamy: https://youtu.be/FEtbuBa9N44 These days its more Youtubers that get a fair amount of flak for either being hype-men for certain games/companies while claiming to be objective (yongyea) or being an open shill (Max Dood/ The Completionist). The open shills are at least understandable but those who rag on ethics only to sell out are worse imo... --- Political correctness is the fascism of the 90s-Roger Ebert I don't have pet peeves, I have major psychotic ******* hatreds-George Carlin <cite>invertedlegdrop posted [p:974532302] in Remember w...

From what I remember, there were 2 or 3 different stories happening at the same time and I could never tell which was which. Woman made game. It got some good reviews but male gamers got mad about it and harassed her. Woman's ex boyfriend stirred the pot even more by revealing their chats and shit which lead to woman getting more harassed and getting death threats. Ex boyfriend implied that some of the good reviews the game got was because woman was sleeping with a game reviewer. Male gamers harassment intensifies even more against woman who made a game. When accusing male gamers about being disgusting sexists they defend their stance with "actually it's about ethics in video game journalism". Correct me if I'm wrong. --- Don't like it?

CRON 06/30/23 1:42:32 PM #21:	The entire GamerGate fiasco was a complete goddamn mess but a lot of people don't put the blame on publications themselves for realizing that outrage bait and clickbait generated more engagement (and ad revenue) than standard pieces on the business aspects of the industry, so they repeatedly pushed the controversy with profit in mind, knowing how much harm it was doing. --- Thanks for reading! <cite>CRON posted [p:974532530] in Remember w...
