MRA? I attempted to see if it was in this thread but couldn't find it buried in all the posts.

MRAs are despicable. Men adopting the approach of the worst women. Sickening.

If you can't beat them with logic and reason and rationale when they scream foul and cry, then scream foul back at them.

Fight fire with fire.

You expect me to watch that? Cliffs?

Yeah, I do. Watch it. It's worth it.

TL;DR: Buncha game reviewers got caught doing things they shouldn't, immediately started blaming gamers to get the heat off of them, gamers turned the table and exposed a ton of conflict of interest relationships and brought to the public eye the biggest reasons that video game review media are not to be trusted and neither should many of the producers in the industry.

Funny how the whole situation looks when you look at it from a non-men's rights perspective.

The accusations that what happened to Zoe Quinn and the rest of the women as misogynistic is kind of silly, considering the same things happen to anyone that pisses off the idiots of the internet. There are people who genuinely enjoy causing anguish to those, and they all end up in the places everyone blames for everything: ebaums world >_> Those people don't hate women, so much as they are willing to "hate" anyone they can be pointed at, for any tiny reason.

There is most definitely a difference of magnitude in these cases.

lol. I love Encyclopedia Dramatica, but it seems some people forgot what the lulz is for.

It literally has screenshotted proof of everything it claims. The gaming press has been caught conspiring via an email group list to ignore everything about gamergate except for "harassment" related stories.

You can create any narrative you want with enough screenshots of enough people doing he said/she said. See the wikipedia article if you want to learn what the rest of the world thinks of the situation. It's not the press willfully "ignoring" the things you think are important; it's them realizing a group of loud people are basically behaving like a bunch of maleficent A420s, and focusing on the actual news related to that. Gaming press conspiring to behave like actual news sources isn't anything special.

You could also try reading some real news sources; you won't find yourself supported.

Because I stated what my views are in here, yes? Oh, no. Sorry, I didn't. But nice try!

Regardless, last I looked various news articles seemed to be plugging both sides of this story...

The only perspective on wikipedia is that of corruption at this point. Because all major gaming outlets are corrupt, and the mainstream media only reprints this false narrative, the only publication "sources" of note which are allowed on wikipedia are poisonous. Combined with sjw editors on wikipedia in control and all you have is a false narrative on wikipedia, and its been that way since day 1. That is their power, they control the publications, they control the narrative, its why they continuously publish lies, they know based on this system it self reinforces itself.

And the corruption is reflected in what we saw on msnbc just a few days ago, where you have sjw's just lie straight into the camera more than a month in with not a shred of shame, and no one calls them on it. So bringing in wikipedia and talking about "news sources", well you just are the perfect example of the problem. These people know that the news media is at best lazy, at worst corrupt, fact checking is not something they are concerned with. They aren't a "news source" they are just sources of disinformation at this point. The exposure of this lack of journalistic integrity is exactly the problem gamers have been complaining about for the entire duration of this mess. When all your news sources are worse than fox news in both accuracy and integrity, there is a problem.
