Really glad to see Liana K there. She's one of the few feminists I genuinely respect.

Worth it for that picture alone.
Also in Reaxxion, this is what ethical journalism looks like. Re: The editor's note at the top of the article. But still, the article itself is quite good and hits home, even if its plagarism has been brought to our attention by the good, fair and honest people at Reaxxion!

I'd like to ask for everyone's honest and individual opinion on that last noncompliantgame post, please. Just to get a lay of the land here.

I'd be laughing my balls off if it weren't so damn sad. The whole "them SJWs" angle that GG seems to have taken on always came off about as something that could have been written by an anti-communist conspiracy theorist. That impression isn't really helped after finding out that an article extolling the ostensible virtues of GG and their fight against them nefarious SJWs actually *was* originally written, for the most part, as a bit of anti-communist scaremongering. The cherry on the shit sundae is that a site backing a movement partly out of a stated concern for journalistic ethics wasn't able to detect a giant lapse in basic journalistic integrity.

tl;dr: epic fail all around.

So you would have been able to know it was "borrowed" from a report made in 1966? regardless of the original source for the article It's on-target from what I've seen. And in reading it I was reminded of a video I've seen once, let me see if I can find it again....

Given that GG has a shitty public reputation and that GG is ostensibly concerned with ethics in journalism, you'd bet I'd take precautions to make sure that people who wrote stories for my web site didn't do any shit to tarnish the name of the site and the cause. And by precautions, I mean Googling. I searched for a sentence fragment with all references to SJWs removed, and the John Birch Society piece is not only the top result on Google Newspapers, it is the only result returned. I got comparable results when working with shorter fragments, with the only difference being that other results were returned; of course, the John Birch bit was still the first result listed.

You're a bully and a stalker. I haven't posted here for a while and not suprisingly neither have you. I start posting here again and you turn up. And btw I stand by that post and as per usual what you don't understand is that one can draw attention to an article and/or an opinon, link to it, be positve about it etc without having to agree with every single word and idea in it. But you only understand dogma and violence as evidenced by your behaviour right here and the behaviour (doxxing swatting etc, I wont go into it all here) of those you support.

You really need to pause and reflect about your conduct on this site (and probably your entire life, if this is any indication of that). I won't say anymore to you other than if this were in the real world you would be on the receiving end of legal action, perhaps a restraining order, apprehended violence order etc depending on various factors.

They obviously did detect it made an editorial at the top of the article and are no longer accepting articles from that writer. Problem. Reaction. Solution my friend. ;-)

You mean Gamergate is relentlessy propagandized in msm. As I've said before you don't really need to do anything but lay back and let big daddy corporate media do everything for you.

"Detected" implies that they caught it themselves, ideally prior to it being published. What happened here was that they missed it, published it, then someone caught it after it had been published and pointed it out to them. That's like a adult film director failing to notice that porn stars having sex used a condom that had a great big tear in it, a customer notifies the production company later upon viewing the finished video, then the director doing a reshoot with an intact condom and trying to claim that they remembered to make sure the performers wore adequate protection. Yeah, you fixed the error after it was pointed out to you, but you still fucked up on something you should have tried to detect earlier, and you still have to worry about the lingering harm to your reputation, among other things.

Actually, no. That director would be doing more to counter the subsequent reaction to his mistake then this site. A better analogy would be that upon the mistake being pointed out to him, the director made sure that the production company recalled each copy of the video, stamped/watermarked/ or whatever each video pointing out the mistake while maintaining that they are glad they caught their mistake, when in reality the person who discovered the mistake was most definitely someone else.

I really think you're being a little pedantic. They found the problem and fixed it. ANd me thinks your analogy is well ... um ... stretching things a little, as it were.

Fair or not, that's the movement's reputation. As a result, when stuff like this happens, what would ordinarily be egg on some other news site's face turns into a metaphorical omelet of doom.

How about a bit more specifics Vaina?

Do you want to understand opinions about the quality of editing at Reaxxion?
Or is it ncg's opinion about the quality of the article itself?

Meh, comme ci comme ca, it depends on the individual circumstances. Anyway, they did what they could, but I don't wanna keep on about it. It's quite minor ... its certainly not an omlette of doom X-D
