This industry is beyond corrupt. It is beyond destructive. It’s become a cult, so bloated on its own self-righteousness and loathing of everyone who doesn’t conform to the hivemind that it is that it’s impossible to stay and not become either part of that hivemind or completely fucking insane.

GamerGate occurred when the seedy antics of Zoe Quinn exposed wide scale collusion in the indie game industry, benefiting developers, reviewers, journalists, and everyone else involved. That is, everyone except for you, the gamer.

The gaming media refused to apologize, accept accountability, or in any way commit to adherence to any kind of higher standard of journalism which would (at least) include not sleeping with the subjects of their articles. Instead, they placed all the blame on the gaming community, concluding that their audience is now their enemy. This was done to ensure they could continue fucking desperate game devs, as this is the only pussy these shills will ever be able to get.

Zoe Quinn - The Former Center of the Controversy

The Quinn bee

Chelsea Van Valkenburg, aka Zoe Quinn, is an indie game developer who fucked her way to the top of the indie game industry without a single recognizable skill. This is comparable to being king of the hobos.

Her crimes are so numerous that going into detail about them would take up too much space in this article, so here's a highlighted list instead.

Things that Zoe has done include, but are not limited to:

  • Cheating on her boyfriend with at least 5 different people
  • Fucking her PR agent
  • Fucking the judge of one contest she was a finalist in
  • Fucking two judges of a separate contest she won
  • Fucking gaming news journalists to help her cover up the aforementioned acts
  • Intentionally sabotaging at least three charities for feminism and colon cancer
  • Sabotaging a fourth charity and getting a major figure in the gaming industry fired as a bonus
  • Setting up a scam to replace those charities
  • Stealing the money donated to said charities
  • Planning to set up a charity for victims of trolling and probably steal the money from that too
  • Faking a mugging to ask for pity donations
  • Asking for donations for her broken computer
  • Fucking her married boss to advance at her job
  • Sending white knights to harass people who disagree with her on the internet
  • Getting several websites shut down by her personal army
  • Sexually harassing a man and using intimidation tactics to make him apologize for exposing her
  • Being a feminazi
  • Raping her boyfriend (according to her *own* definition of rape)
  • Threatening to kill herself if her boyfriend exposed her
  • Posing naked online for money
  • Convincing her mentally ill boyfriend he was going crazy when he suspected her of cheating
  • Faking her own doxing and hacking
  • Convincing various sites to suppress bad press about her using her connections
  • Making up sob stories about abuse to keep people from exposing her
  • Threatening to ruin people's careers for exposing her
  • Faking harassment to promote a game about depression
  • Silencing people with depression when they criticize it
  • Creating a game using something that can't be considered programming
  • Starting a raid of a site for people with depression to promote her depression game
  • Stealing a game
  • Capitalizing on the death of Robin Williams to promote her game
  • Pretending that online trolling has left her homeless

And the list goes on and on.


Most importantly, when all this became public, gamers began demanding more transparency in gaming journalism, to which the gaming media responded with a hefty "fuck you."

The media's plan, step by step

Five guys and counting
Gamergate6.jpg

So began the long, convoluted road of retarded damage control by the gaming press. The entire thing could have been avoided, had they simply admitted fault, fired the reporters that failed to disclose their personal relationships with game devs and promised to not let it happen again.

Instead, the media went on an all out war against the gamers for whom they write, alienating its entire readership and turning from journalists who write about games for gamers, to journalists who write about gamers for other journalists. Effectively reducing their readerbase to less than three.

First, Shift the Goal Posts

Bob "MovieBob" Chipman, defender of women

First in the bag of cheap, journo tricks that only work in old media was "Framing the narrative", "Moving the goal posts" or "Spinning". Basically, trying to change the topic. This will be a well they will often go to throughout this entire ordeal even though it had long since run dry.

The plan was to change the topic and make it about feminism and harassment, instead of what it was really about, corruption in journalism. Soon gaming websites were flooded with articles about how poor Zoe is being trolled by stupid, mean gamers who are only doing it because they hate strong, independent women in gaming who only occasionally drink an entire bucket of cum.

This fooled nobody. Anyone who was in on what was going on knew what this was really about, and even the feminists (who usually jump to the defense of any woman in gaming, no matter how wrong she is) were unable to preform the necessary mental gymnastics needed to make an argument of how sleeping around to get ahead was consistent with women's lib. Some of them were willing to denounce Zoe, while most chose to simply shut their mouths and bury their heads in the sand, like a good feminist should.

Step Two, Fire Anyone who Doesn't Toe the Line

Journalism insider exposes they are being forced to write anti-gamer articles

Recently one of the mods of "Tumblricon.png Shitty Webcomics Tumblr", who is an actual journalist and writes gaming news articles as a hobby in his spare time, handed in his resignation along with several other reporters to the sites they wrote for after he revealed that the entire industry is keeping a code of silence on this entire thing and anyone within the industry pressing the issue is marked as a traitor and swiftly disposed of.

Gaming sites have no problem firing their writers because for every one of them there are 20 more waiting to take their place. Since gaming sites have nothing even resembling standards, no credentials are required, making the hiring pool wider than Zoe's vagina, so the ones with the loosest morals get to replaces the ones who were recently shit-canned by the end of the day.

Step Three, Call Gamers Faggots

ISIS < Trolls - Devin Faraci, game journalist.

When this didn't work, the highly professional reporters turned to twitter and began calling gamers fat, neckbearded, virgin, loser, autistic, terrorist nerds who spend all day masturbating in their mother's basement. All of this and more is true, but this is far from the professional conduct expected from "journalists". Try to imagine these kinds of tweets from anyone who is an actual part of the press... Now try to imagine someone who isn't from FOX News. You think Walter Cronkite ever rented out one of the back pages of a newspaper to call JFK a faggot? Probably not.

They even went so far as to create a tag called Twitter-favicon.png #describeagamerin4words, 50% of which was being used to laugh at journalists.

Step Three 1/2, be Forced to Apologize by your Editor for Calling Gamers Faggots
Don't send emails to Devin's editor because he just forwards it to him and he posts it. Send it to the sites owner instead

Hilariously, word got back to the editors, CEO's and sponsors of these sites and many of the "journalists" were humiliated and forced by them to make public apologies.

Apology accepted, you faggots About missing Pics


Step Four: OH SHIT! PEOPLE ARE LEAKING INFO!

Someone leaks that they are being forced to write anti GamerGate articles and how to fuck up these sites

One of the oldest techniques of the journalism trade is the leak, only this time, it was used against them.

As would be expected, a lot of writers who wanted to tell the truth about what was going on were not happy about being told to get with the party line or join the unemployment line. They were even less happy when they were told to write articles denouncing gamers or get fired. So they did what journalists do and leaked information.

Many people working for gaming press began anonymously posting wherever they could and exposing the gaming site's strategy ahead of time. They exposed that they were planning to try and change the topic, how they were planning to do it, what they were going to change the topic to, and the reason they were doing it, which was...

OH FUCK! OUR SPONSORS ARE MAD!

Well, it's because they were all getting angry calls from sponsors who were paying attention and were not fooled by any of this so they started getting dropped by them and hemorrhaging money.

All the negative attention prompted a massive letter writing campaign where any site or reporter suspect of misconduct was swiftly told on to his editor. But, since the editors were already in on this and refused to do anything, the emails were then sent to the sponsors instead.

The sponsors, not wanting to be associated with sites known for sex scandals and having their reporters call their readership fat racists, started calling up the sites and demanding an explanation as to why they were being flooded by complaints by people telling them that one of their clients just called them a faggot on twitter. The effectiveness of this became known thanks to more leaks and only lead to more emails being sent, driving the gaming sites to go into maximum damage control mode and...

Step Five (guys), "Gamer" and "Gaming" are DEAD!!!!

Is Zoe blackmailing Gawker into defending her?

Finally, in a pathetic, last ditch effort to stop this, the correspondents started going on a final, coordinated PR assault between several gaming news websites that together all published about 20 articles on the same day about how the terms "Gamer" and "Gamer Culture" are officially dead. Essentially trying to stop the bleeding by saying gamers can no longer criticize them because gamers as an identity have ceased to exist overnight. But, as happy as we would have been for that to be true, sadly it isn't. Hilariously, they even used non gaming websites that are part of the same news network to post more of these articles to create the false impression that this is the popular opinion shared by multiple people.

This was made even more easy by the cross-breeding between all news sites. A big part of them is represented by a single PR firm or are a part of a larger parent company. Also, of the gaming journalists that DO have jobs, many have to write for multiple site to make ends meet. Allowing some to infiltrate some actually reputable news sources like Forbes and The Guardian as "contributors" (basically not actually a part of the paid staff, just amateurs trying to get publicity being used by the site as filler material) and create the impression that this is serious.

Gamingnews.jpg
I guess gamers aren't real anymore because news sites said so. Time to stop criticizing them and go home guys.


However, both thanks to the leaks and to the fact this was all so transparently coordinated, no one bought it (not that they would have anyway). It is unclear what the sites were trying to achieve by this unless they seriously believed that posting all those articles would immediately convince any gamer who read them that gaming isn't real anymore.

Step Six, Make a Fake Petition

In the latest sad attempt, a petition was published, signed by 600 "Game Developers", urging gamers to "Stop the hate". This was another see-though attempt to change the topic from their own corruption to something else and the reported number quickly inflated to "thousands of signatures".

But who were these millions of devs trying bring back the peace? With a simple look-up, were exposed as not developers at all.

Someone went through the list's "A" count and found that the majority of people listed were either journalists, have never worked on a single game in their life or worked in an irrelevant role on maybe one or two games like publicity or being the fucking janitor or something. Of those that actually did make games, most made perhaps one shitty iPhone game.

In response, some youtube fatass made a counter petition asking game journalists to cut the shit and it got more than ten times as many signatures.

One man takes responsibility... All of the responsibility ever

Few people in positions of power within the gaming press actually did anything. One of them was the owner of The Escapist who returned from his long absence of running 12 other websites he owns to inform everyone that gaming is not dead and to make all his retarded columnists apologize.

But one man took it a step further.

Buzzfeedfire.png

Jonah Peretti, CEO of Buzzfeed, announced that he will be firing everyone in his company that listed "Gamer" in their hobbies and convincing other CEO's to do the same.

This is akin to swatting a fly with a bazooka. But it's still better than everyone else who just sat on their thumbs instead of doing anything.

To date he insists that this is not a prank and he is 100% serious.

So what are the actual problems with game journalism?

Gawker: Fair and balanced

So now you must be asking: "What's the actual problem that people are protesting?". I'm glad you asked!

Social Justice pandering

The first issue at hand is the sudden shift to political agenda in gaming press over the last few years.

The field has become overrun by Tumblr feminists, white knights, social justice warriors and scam artists. Those who are not actively part of any of those while working in the gaming press are pressured by those who are from within and from without to conform or find another job. Resulting in a flood of brilliant articles like:

"How games oppress women"
"Why seeing tits in a video game is misogyny and gave me a panic attack"
"Rape in video games"
"How women are raped by video games"
"5 ways a video game raped me"
and
"Raping the rape-rape in rape town video game rape"

At the moment the various gaming sites are trying to paint these complaints as a bunch of fat guys who don't want to let girls into their clubhouse. Ignoring the fact that maybe it's easier to let them into your clubhouse when you've already stuck your meat wand into every orifice in their body like these journalists seems to have done.

Which brings us to the next problem...

Zero distance between subject and reporter

Anal = game of the year.

In the wake of GamerGate columnists have been found to be:

  • Befriending the people they write about
  • Going to parties with the people they write about
  • Dating the people they write about
  • Sleeping with the people they write about
  • Financially supporting the people they write about
  • Being financially supported by the people they write about
  • Entering business ventures with the people they write about
  • Profiting from the business ventures they enter with the people they write about
  • Using their position to drum up press and profit from the business ventures they enter with the people they write about
  • Share their PR firms and mother corporations with the people they write about
  • Collude to take down the competition with and for the people they write about
  • And countless other improprieties

The entire indie game dev scene is in bed (sometimes literally) with their reporters, conducting shady, back-door business deals to promote each other either for favors, sexual or otherwise, or under the command of a larger corporation that owns both the person being written about and the person who is doing the writing.

In spite of all evidence, the gaming press has been resolute in its refusal to institute any sort of system of disclosure or recusel for reporters found to have a conflict of interests with the subject of their piece. Neither will they take any disciplinary action against such individuals when, by contrast, in actual journalism it is enough for there to be merely an allegation of misconduct for someone to get the shaft.

You Think Maybe a Flowchart Would Make This Easier for you?

Wait, this is no longer updated!


Gamergateshi10.jpg
Nope, this is now also outdated. Pending new flowchart.

Celebrity Smackdown

Even moderately famous people somehow got word of this story and are happy to speak the good word to their followings.


'First to the plate was' Hideki Kamiya, emperor of Japan's twitter and creator/director of such games as Resident Evil, Bayonetta, Okami, some Metal Gear and Phoenix Wright games, Devil May Cry as well as many others, who used this opportunity to continue his destruction of Kotaku (they wrote an article about him last year and he made fun of them on twitter) by telling them they have been DISHONORED and call Zoe on playing the victim.


KingHideki.png

Next was Firefly star Adam Baldwin, who posted the links to the two "Five Guys" videos and then proceeded to laugh his ass off at the SJW white knights who came after him and Zoe Quinn herself who told him he's helping spread her dox and nudes (neither of which are in those videos, chalk up another shitty lie for Zoe) by making post after post about the issue. Since Adam was on a show that is, to this day, obsessed over by nerds, and since he has done voice work for many games, he had the power, reach and credibility to comment on these topics in an informed way while spreading awareness without fear of reprisals.
Nobody expects the Twitter inquisition
Famous feminist and bane of tumblr, Christina H. Sommers, chimed in to defend the gamers. But this is not your regular feminist, she is a feminist who hates other retarded feminists and loved by all of the internet for putting them in their place. Being that she is a professor that has written successful books, she easily deflected attacks by barely literate Social Justice Warriors with the ease one would swat a fly, earning her the nickname "Mom".

A collection on CHS's posts
Milo Yiannopoulos
Last one to join so far has been, Milo Yiannopoulos. Who, according to Wikipedia: "Was named one of the 100 most influential people in Britain's digital economy by Wired UK in 2011 and again in 2012. He has been called a "rising star of the Right" by The Spectator, the "pit bull of tech media" by the The Observer and "digital media's Citizen Kane" by Forbes magazine". Which is Ironic, because Forbes has become part of the problem by allowing know-nothing gaming commentators hijack it for their own agenda by letting them write positive press about Zoe and against GamerGate. Milo called out Erik Kain on twitter and replaced him as the gamers' darling after Kain joined the SJW war on them. Ever since he has been destroying people on Twitter left and right.
Extrazoe.png

Daniel Vávra
The creator of the "Mafia" games recently joined in and pointed out he got called a misogynist when Anita Sarkeesian deliberately shot women in his game and then lied and claimed it was required of her by the game. Anita is under the same PR company as Zoe Quinn (SilverString), the parent company of which (GDC) owns half of the news sites suppressing this story. Daniel joined the GamerGate crowed, making him yet another person that has accomplished what talentless indie devs only dream of that is now calling them out.
Gamergate8.png
DanielVavraBased.jpg
Dawkings didn't explicitly endorse GamerGate, but is seems that the waves from what was going on have reached him and he tweeted asking people is the claims about Clickbait and SJW journalism are true. Later, after CHS's video came out and she was attacked by SJW's and gaming journos he posted a tweet of support to her.
Dawkngg.png

When Wikileaks admin Assange was invited to do an AMA on reddit and one of the users asked hin what he thinks of censorship, the reddit admins did the most ironically stupid thing you can think of and banned him right in front of Assange. Obviously, this led to him tweeting about it and giving GamerGate more exposure.
Wikiliksgg.png

Various Developers
As times goes on, more and more famous devs and journos start showing support for GG. Companies like Ubisoft and whoever made League of Legends posted articles saying GG is right and more are joining every day.
Gamergamergame.png

Various Internet Faggots
Another group to jump on the bandwagon was internet nobodies like JonTron, TotalBiscuit, Thunderf00t, Maddox, Weev, Boogie and (sadly) TheAmazingAtheist. These and others are spreading the word while homos like MovieBob, Egoraptor, Tom Preston and others are anti GG, which only makes it look worse.
Moremorezoe3.jpg

The GamerGate article on Wikipedia was overrun with feminists talking about how Zoe was a victim, GamerGate was bullshit and feminism is cool. They wouldn't let anyone edit it, banned anyone who tried, claimed the biased new sources that were being accused of corruption are credible while other sources were not and just being typical feminazis. It got to a point where Jimbo himself had to step in and promise to ban all the feminist activists and lest someone with a brain edit the article instead.
Gamergatecrap14.png

Anti GamerGate Faggots
At the same time, a few pro-zoe people jumped in as well and looked stupid doing it. The washed up, F-list gaming celebrity and Mickey Rourke lookalike Adam Sessler tweeted drinking in a bar with Zoe and complaining about being "hacked", just to make it more obvious how far he's fallen from the days of his TV careers to reporting on internet drama from a bar via twitter. Joss Whedon said he supports Anita Sarkeesian who was tangentially related and Thunderf00t did the least gay thing he has ever done made a video with Anita's voiceover along with Joss' movies to show how the person he's supporting would consider him a rapist. Lastly, Tim Schafer (who hasn't made a good game since Psychonauts) voiced his support of anti-gamergate since he has connections with IndieFund.

People being TOLD About missing Pics


Jenn Frank "quits" over GamerGate

More info about email sponsors
Public reaction to her quitting
Anotehr faggot got fired. This one was actually left homeless lol

To those who think calling up editors to complain about this is pointless, consider the case of Jenn Frank. The contributor to "The Guardian" who failed to disclose her friendship with Zoe before writing an article. She claims her legal department told her it was okay, but soon after she "quit" game journalism. But not before calling all gamers Hitler.

Jenn is kill About missing Pics


Her "retirement" played out the way everybody thought it would. She "quit" on 3rd September and was back writing feminist agenda-pushing gaming columns for The Guardian on THE 20th OF September. That's sixteen days, for those keeping count.

I guess getting a real job was too much for her.

Not Your Shield

The reality of #notyourshield vs what feminists think.

As expected, as soon as this started, the SJW crowd on twitter said what they always say: Everyone one has a problem with this because they are straight, white guys. The response to this was that all the bitches, niggers and faggots started posting under the tag Twitter-favicon.png #NotYourShield, much to the rage of the SJW's, most of whom actually are straight, white dudes.

In a hilariously poor attempt to put out the flame Zoe Quinn pulled what she believed was her trump card: Logs from the 4chan IRC.

She revealed that she has been spying on them all along and can prove... nothing. She posted a bunch screencaps with captions underneath them saying things like "MISOGYNY EXPOSED!" and all her white knights rejoiced over her victory.

However, that is only because none of them actually read the screencaps. If you do read the logs that were capped, all they prove is that Zoe was in the room and that people were talking about her. Half of them say the opposite of what Zoe wrote about them in the caption and the rest are either people just talking or things taken out of context, as they explained can be seen from the full logs that were shared by /v/ in response. Another group who gloated over the logs but obviously did not bother to read them were a number of gaming journalists who decided to paint them as legit to try and exonerate themselves.

She pretty much just took the logs and capped the first place she found the word "Hack" without reading and posted it as proof people were trying to hack her.

Neinegamergate.jpg

After initially banning all GamerGate threads for the first week or so the mods made a statement that they were only doing it because there were too many of them. However, after being allowed to continue for about a month, they were suddenly being mass deleted again and all of germany was IP banned for some unknown reason. At first it was believed that this was one rogue mod, mad that he was told he will be reported to m00t, but now it seems that m00t himself has sold out to the SJW's.

Evidence shows that he was seen attending a lecture by Anita Sarkeesian where she declared war on GamerGate and demanded that all men commit to believing anything and everything women say as part of feminism (this is not a joke, this is seriously what she talked about). Other tweets show him sleeping with and intern at Gawker, befriending their CEO and others so he's probably doing this for pussy and money for his new, gay startup.

Later someone claiming to be an ex-mod leaked what he said was logs of a Skype chat m00t had with them about killing GamerGate and him wanting them to dox every GamerGate supporter. Soon after, GG people started getting doxed... And didn't give a fuck.

So began m00t's GamerGate Sellout, everyone called a time of death on 4chan after their long fight with cancer and anyone with any dignity moved to 8chan instead.

The Reddit Censorship Scandal

ProfessorFarnsworth.png Good News, Everyone!
Assange has just witnessed Leddit shadowban a user for asking about Gamergate.


Soon after the GamerGate/Zoe Quinn thing started, over 25,000 comments about it were deleted off of reddit. Quickly evidence surfaced that Zoe was cooperating with the reddit admins to make this happen. Later, one of the mods/admins leaked logs of the other admins talking about it. In response, he lost his position on the site. Even later than that, one of the other mods came forward and did an interview exposing how the admins are capable of spying on peoples PM's, how they ban people who they dislike then lie about the reason, how they shadowban anyone who mentions any word they don't like in regards to Zoe or GamerGate using a bot, and how when they found out he was making a program that will allow people to encrypt their communication on the site to keep admins from spying on them they threatened to accuse him of being a pedophile.

Fez and the GIANT FUCKING RACKETEERING SCAM

Sometime during all this Phil Fish had his site hacked (some claim it was a false flag but this is probably not true) and had 1.5GB of boring financial data posted before cancelling Fez2 for the millionth time, rage quitting the industry and putting his IP up for sale. Since this was tl;dr no one knew what any of it meant until someone actually read it and made this video:



Hi.

So you thought Maya Kramer fucking Zoe and being the judge of two contest she won is corrupt? You thought Maya Kramer sleeping with the CEO of one of those contests is corrupt? You though that all the finalists of both those contests being people Maya represents is corrupt? You ain't seen nothing yet.

It seems that an organization called "Indie Fund", that is comprised of people in the indie gaming and gaming press scene, invested money in Polytron, which was at the time making Fez, with the speculated profits being what will be used to pay back their investment.

IndieFund and IFG

It seems they either set up or became part of "The Indie Game Festival" (or "IGF") as well as "IndieCade", both major awards. They used their influence to push Fez through into the contest at IGF despite it being a demo and thereby ineligible to compete, and then again the next year when it was delayed and failed to be ready in time the first year. 8 of the 10 judges were investors in the first year, and then 8 out of an undisclosed number the next. Although it can't be proven they all colluded to vote for Fez, it CAN be proven, thanks to leaks from other judges, that they didn't even bother to play the games they were voting for. By the way, everything here also applies to another game funded by them.

IndieFund and IndieCade

The second contest that Phil's turd of a game had won was "IndieCade". But here too "IndieFund" was involved. The voting committee chair was one of the investors and "worked closely" with all the other judges to make sure they "vote for the right game" (this is an actual quote from the site). Meaning she had the power to steer the voting in the direction she wanted. For those of you who don't understand how Racketeering works:

Phase 1: Invest in Polytron
Phase 2: Rig contests to make Polytron's game win
Phase 3: Award Phil the prize money collected from people who actually paid to enter a contest they had no chance of winning
Phase 4: Fez sells a ton of copies thanks to the publicity
Phase 5: PROFIT!!!

Fez finished being developed (after its "delay") a month later. Just in time to capitalize from the publicity from winning the awards.

DiGRA

This article is paid for by taxpayers like you.

Thanks, America.


Order one today!
Milo's next target: DiGRA

"DiGRA"... What is "DiGRA"? If you said it's an organization of old, academia feminists who sit around and conspire how to inject SJW issues into gaming with the help of several gaming insiders and government funding, you were correct.

DiGRA has been shown to have connections to IGF, IndieCade, Gamasutra and Kotaku, as well as invite SilverString Media to their yearly "conventions". They might be funded by DARPA and before this scandal broke they tweeted their meeting's minutes before later deleting them. Thankfully, someone saved them and someone else made this video reading and explaining them (see blow).

What you need to know about them is that originally they had 2 feminists in the group who gradually voted out all the non-feminists (including the founder) and replaced them with an overwhelming majority of ideologists. From their logs it is shown that they are against peer review because having actual scientists who can do things like math go over their work constantly reveals it to be just propaganda, so instead all the studies they cite are written by one another.

Oh, and they also have connections to the guy who made "Facade".





Gamergatecrap23.jpg

Mailing List Exposed

5 minutes after the post, Kotaku published an article about a fake bomb threat to Anita that happened SIX MONTHS AGO to try and deflect attention
Basedmilo.jpg

Have you been told, throughout this entire thing, that despite it looking like all gaming journalists have agreed between themselves that they will try to defuse the situation by pretending it doesn't exists and only focusing on claims of harassment, it actually isn't true and you believing that it is sound like a crazy conspiracy theory?

Well, put that tinfoil hat back on because, thanks to the tireless efforts of based Milo, a mailing list called "Game Journalists Professionals" (or "GameJurnoPro") has been exposed where they are seen agreeing between themselves to pretend nothing is going on, focus on harassment claims and convince anyone who accuses them of orchestrating this of believing in a crazy conspiracy theory.

Nero matrix milo.jpg

The emails show (summary version here) that members of all the sites that seems to be taking part in this are actively discussing how to frame the narrative, what to cover, what to ignore, how to force journalists that aren't in their group to fall in-line with them using shaming and intimidation, who to promote or blacklist and how to conduct themselves in a way that caters to the personal requests of Zoe Quinn, going so far as discussing buying her a "feel better" gift.

The people in question responded with poor excuses and attempts to pretend they were "just talking", but the next article exposed the full scale of the corruption when it was shown that the group contained over 150 people.

In a later article, Milo posted their final email chain after being exposed and closing down the group and then later added and extra one where they talk about getting paid for good reviews and how they hate Phil Fish.

Actual journalists get involved

Nothing suspicious...
NOTHING AT ALL
Nothing at all...

Recently Zoe Quinn, Anita and Brianna Wu (some tranny that gets frightened out of her home by image macros. Seriously) figured that the best way to end GamerGate is to draw more attention to it and themselves. The one who was able to cash-in the most was Wu, who used her connections at MSNBC (no ethical problems there) to score interviews on various TV stations and find excuses to promote her awful game in each and every one.



Warning: Brianna Wu is a jump scare.


This all soon backfired when a number of stations actually invited people from the GG side to speak and Brianna got REKT by 8chan's owner "Hotwheels" on live TV.

The best part of this was that (according to inside sources) all she did was act as a signal-boost for GG and, by turning it into a national scandal, only gave more reasons for publishers to quitely pull out of the sites she was trying to defend and ruined the chances of anyone involved in them to ever get a job in real journalism.

Advertisers Start To Pull Out

After spamming the advertisers of every site that talked shit about them, some of them started to publicly pull out like a teenager who cant afford a condom.


Advertising expert explains why all these sites are fucked.
Whoop there it is About missing Pics


But wait! There's more! These are only a small part of the ones that are backing out of these sites. As industry insiders explained, every ad company is watching this and are either taking their ads off these sites or getting ready to do it once GG is done so that they don't draw attention to themselves.

In a brilliant move, Leigh Alexander started talking shit about Intel when they pulled out of Gamasutra and got her reporter friends to write articles about how "Intel=Muhsoginy" (forgetting that Intel's CEO and head of PR are both female). This only makes firms less willing to put their ads on any gaming site and a lot of them are gonna be bleeding money thanks to her.

You know who else industry people say are watching? News companies. So if any of these people ever try to move up from gaming journalism to real journalism no one will hire them.

What can YOU do about it?

Over a million two million tweets

#1 - Write to their sponsor/editor/PR company

As you can see, writing to the editor in chief of any of these publications is mostly pointless because he is probably getting a hummer under his desk as he is reading your email. However, not all of them are in on the scam and some writers are freelancers who the editor won't think twice about letting go.

Instead, you can also write their sponsor. Writing to the sponsor hits them where it hurts - Their wallet.

Below is a list of news sites and internet journalists known for participating in this conspiracy and who you can contact. Email their sponsors/bosses/PR people/parent corporations and let them know what is going on. Enough people do this and soon their boss will call them up on the pone.

#2 - Write to game corporations

According to some anon in a high position in the game industry, what you need to shift some focus to is PR and publishers. If you start contacting the PR reps and explaining that the response from journalists at [Insert Site] means you will no longer be visiting it, and as long as the game company you are contacting continues to allow their games to be covered by [Insert Site], you wont be purchasing those titles either. the PR guys (who are paying close attention to all of this) WILL listen. Most of them are closer to your side of things then you think (according to this guy), and most of them are sick to death of Kotaku etc.

Remember, these people are friends. In other words, don't email them to call them faggots.
