Okay, So I don't know and can't verify who posted this a few minutes ago, I just saw a blip pop up. But it looks like someone did Milo one better and released the entire Zoe Quinn GameJournoPros discussion on pastebin. If this is honest, it's hilarious and about to get real ugly as people, say, forward this to advertisers and parent-company PR reps.

This ugly bit of tomfoolery reveals quite a bit - mostly how the fix was in to quash the story from the get-go. Nice to see ol' Ben "I Hate My Readerbase Apparently And Thus Have No Idea Why Even Have a Career" Kuchera being his usual "charming" self in there, going out of his way to defend Quinn whilst telling other communities how they should be moderating.

There's no words.

  7. You’re involved in video games, Daniel, so I’m really not sure why you thought that.

lol, these people hate your fucking guts, gamers. They HATE you.

This is what media totally severed from its readership looks like. You're not a subscriber, a guy that buys a copy of the newspaper on the way to work or picks it up at the newsstand. You're just a tiny piece of a metric valuable to their real customers -- the industry. 29,999,999 readers is not much different than 30,000,000 to their customers, so fuck off. The contempt just oozes out of these people.

I've been a writer my entire life, I've written freelance for years, and I've never seen anything like this. That includes industries like music and film which are hardly filled with cuddly personalities.

...Huh? So since the 'persecuted feminist' thing falls apart under examination she's going for the 'mentally handicaped' shield? Is she just trying to keep herself in the spotlight? Seriously, what does this have to do with anything?

Edit: Durr, I didn't notice the date. :oops:

Reddit raised enough money for a character, no name given yet:

As a special thank you to 4chan, they're designing a poster featuring The Cathedral of Misogyny (work in progress):

I believe the Reddit character is 'Gilda Mars' (and allegedly she was designed on /v/ back when they had threads on gamergate as a joke since Reddits own designs were seen as too bad).
 
So Alex Lifschitz, the guy in this picture here, who's a journalist and also a mod on 4chan

Posted this statement in March at this conference about how video game journalists aren't supposed to be impartial, and they should be paid not to be
He's the guy who said he moderated 4chan for 30 hours squashing criticism of Zoe.

I came across a very interesting chart as well. Apparently after this whole 4chan thing occurred, tweets related to Gamergate spiked.

Essentially Alex's censorship campaign backfired and only drew more attention to it.

Then this gets reposted and is starting to be scarily accurate

People are now using this https://8chan.co/v/ to post about Gamergate because of Moot's sudden change of heart toward his website's policy.

Also, just a few days ago this was posted
http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-...t-mailing-list-of-the-gaming-journalism-elite

If you thought it was weird how all the gaming journalists were seemingly all organized toward first ignoring gamergate and then immediately bashing gamers... well there's an explanation now. A great deal of top video game journalists are apart of a huge mailing list that they get access to at conventions. They went as far as to organize a buy Zoe a "feel better" gift due to this controversy. I'm not fucking joking
Not only did at least one of their number have sex with Quinn, but, in an astonishing breach of critical distance, games journalists can be seen in the leaked emails proposing that members of the list together to purchase her a "feel better" gift, and even a "signed letter of support." They call her ex-boyfriend, on whom Quinn cheated with five other men in the games industry, a "psychopath," asking why a VICE interview with him wasn't more hostile.

"There is an ocean of distance between 'hi we're strangers and we're aware of your dirty laundry' and 'Hi, we're your colleagues, and we appreciate the work you do for our community. Illegitimi non carborundum'," writes Andrew Groen, a contributor to WIRED, seemingly unaware that Quinn is not a "colleague," but the subject of reporting. Describing Quinn as a colleague shows how paper-thin the barrier between reporter and reported has become.

How much fucking blatant evidence does there need to be before employers take action? You bet your ass if I go into my job today and sabotage my boss' 20 odd years of work I'd be thrown out on the street without them missing a beat.

Don't tell me they are in on it too.
 
This is only tangentially related to Gamergate, but since it's on a site that got pulled in to this mess I figured I'd post it so people could talk about it if they wanted.

http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2014/09/19/the-rps-supporter-program-is-go/

RockPaperShotgun is now introducing a Supporters Program. Which... isn't actually that horrible, but does raise some interesting questions.

If you look to the left, you'll notice I'm a supporter on the cwcki - I'm not opposed to this style of funding by any means. I wanted to support a website I frequent that is full of people who are funny and have a wide range of skills and knowledge and are willing to share it. That's cool. In fact, there's a time honored tradition of news websites, at the beginning of the aughts, to charge a premium membership to read their stories before blogging really picked up steam and killed that model.

But there are three things that strike me as... odd about RPS's premium decision.

The first, is the supporters-only section with reader-input which promises "more of everything you love". There's no way the supporters online section will stay behind a paywall, not in this day or age, but I'm curious what "more" will be. Will they be throwing all the articles and opinion pieces that catch so much shit behind it so people who might call them out (ie, people not willing to pay) can't see it? That's fine, start your own echo chamber, but I'm really curious what "more from your favorite scribes" might entail.

Second, all commentators are getting a big red banner showing their support and love of RPS. This, in my mind, is a huge problem. RPS already has a massive problem with censorship, and it's not uncommon for writers to police their articles for the first few days, even up to a week until it vanishes into the ether of archives, deleting sometimes hundreds of comments bitching them out. On the cwckiforums, it doesn't mean much. We're a site DESIGNED for communication and have mods that don't censor much outside of doxing or outright attacks, so my supporter banner does fuck all as far as clout. But there's a really good chance this will just encourage elitism and the silencing of those who don't pay.

Lastly, there's the fact that signing up for this nets you a TF2 hat that according to some commentators, is selling for £32 on the Steam Marketplace. Preorder hat/weapon bonuses are common but there's the rub - They are cosmetic items supplied for a video game by another video game. They aren't video game bonuses supplied by a website that claims to be impartial and supplying news, and you have to pay to get it. What if RPS offered a pre-order bonus for Call of Duty if you signed up as a member? Does the very act of offering items mean that the site is supporting that game, is giving it props? Does it mean that they are no longer impartial to Valve or the games they make because they are giving away RPS branded items in their game? That's a real slippery slope, and feels unbelievably tone deaf after the past few weeks.

This bit of horror actually completely backs what was suggested by /d/ a few weeks ago, and the fact that this post came from /d/'s mods explains a fucking lot. /d/, as you may or may not be aware, is a board of sexual liberation. You can't really argue that something's misogynist, to quote an anon on /tg/, when a huge cluster of its userbase is posting images of monstergirls fucking their erstwhile husbands in the ass (for example). So for a while, it seemed that the SJW nonsense we saw from the /pol/ incident seemed to blow over without any lasting effects, and those who browse /d/ quickly went back to looking for Quelaag art (mostly me, but I digress).

Then /d/ noticed something. We've had someone bumping threads that were essentially one-post threads every few hours to keep them on the board. Mostly, this has been the work of 1 or 2 assholes, possibly with a bot or two, that /d/ collectively just refers to as the "futa spammer." By all accounts, this tiny number of spammers have just never been banned. If they have, there's never been any evidence of it, so either they're finding ways to circumvent bans or they're just not being banned in the first place. The spammer's activity died off for a long time, but recently, it's been back with a vengeance.

But that's the rub. Someone noticed that a lot of threads started attracting so-called SJW talking points. When you're seeing threads talk about patriarchy on fucking /d/ of all places, that's a warning sign in and of itself, but we started constantly - and I do mean constantly seeing SJW talking points showing up in various fetish threads. Then deletions started. No shadowbans yet, but we've seen posts mysteriously disappear if they happen to stray into certain topics. In a shocking change from the norm, /d/ started a thread elsewhere to discuss it, talking about the Futa Spammer and this recent tomfoolery, and what was revealed is that whilst the futa spammer's been able to resume his/her/its reign of terror once more due to lax modship, the mods on /d/ have been aggressively deleting shit they don't like. On the board that prides itself on mutual respect and being sexually libertine.

Something is fucking rotten, and this reeks of someone being paid off. Given what we learned about Moot earlier palling around with certain individuals who shan't be named, I think it's safe to suspect, at the very least, a modicum of corruption involved. But that we're seeing such a coordinated assault... Jesus, that's fricking terrifying. If they can get to the modship of not just 4chan, but fucking chaotic cesspits like 7chan? One has to wonder exactly how much money is trading hands to make this happen, or how much dirt was dug up to enable it.

I fucking retract my earlier defense of Moot, because this revelation paints it in a horrid new light. Fucking GodJesus BearChrist.

It's a complete joke and that's what is so infuriating about the whole mess. In just about any other professional setting, such gross ethical violations would result in immediate termination. But not here. These idiots are not only still employed but are stilling controlling the entire narrative. It's so fucking disgusting.

At this point, you pretty much have to take a scorched earth approach. Everyone involved should be tossed out on their asses. If it's even possible, I'd go as far as moving offices too because clearly all of these chucklefucks being in roughly the same geographic location is what helped make this the problem it is today.
