What can you expect from this website when even its creator does some disguised off-topic self-promotion for his business?
http://www.reaxxion.com/3638/how-the-game-destroyed-my-love-for-video-games

Just the first sentence ruins the crediility of the website:
"a video game site for a growing male readership"

BTW, his other website:
http://www.returnofkings.com/
(see a pattern there?)

Why does the fact that he made a couple of sites that are primarily Androcentric ruin it's credibility?
We hunted the Mammoth looks Gynocentric to me so do I, as a guy have the right to say it's Cred is ruined on that basis alone?

I think the article very accurately summarises what #gg is really about, fighting SJWs.

What the fuck are you talking about? Androcentric? I always preferred android-centric. This forum can sometimes very bullshit-centric. Too many over-thought terms for what amounts to opinion and a lot of puffed up horseshit.

SJW thinking do seem to be the root cause behind the "Gamers are dead" articles

Granted, I don't normally talk or type in such a style but I was just trying to ask a question.

If you really want my take...what happened is what I would expect from a journalistic website. An article slipped, they corrected it in a timely manner. The ironic thing seems to be all the SJWs who seem to want to attack them over it. As if they were waiting to find something to criticize. This partially proves the point of the article itself.

I'll take this any day over the yellow journalism of other sites. Let's see VG24/7 who goes attack dog on Mark Kern but when he asks for an opportunity for a rebuttal is told they only print articles from the people they want. Biased much?

Or Kotaku whose lead anti-Gamergate writer doesn't believe journalists should be objective. Essentially he believes they are entitled to write any one-sided crap they want to (and he does).

Compare Reaxxion's actually acknowledging an issue in a timely manner versus any of the rest of these hacks from Kotaku or Polygon and I don't see an issue at all.

But hey, just another day in the typical SJW, find an isolated incident, cherry-pick it, and then claim its rampant throughout all of Gamergate. Basically a bunch of lying, deceiving asshats...

In the end, it's just a bunch of activists fighting another bunch of activists. Like politicians on campaign, they talk in a "us vs. them" rather than a collective "we" (afterall, I'm not a "growing male" anymore so I guess I'm not his readership). The famous "Listen and believe" from AS could be also put in Roosh's mouth so yeah, I give no creds to both sides like I do to traditional politics.... Fucking Muppet Show but they're even not funny :(

Well, I didn't read the article (yet, cos this discussion is certainly getting me interested...), but I at least have a few times said I don't really identify as GG, but certainly I'm anti anti GG, so to speak... you could say that's being anti SJW I guess, and considering I see most radical activism as ineffective or counterproductive (of which SJW is perfect example) that's nothing to do with moral intent, or being a XYZist. Of course logic being what it is, I guess the personalize, polarize rule for radicals will continue to be used willy nilly.

I guess the tl,dr is if the article is anti sjw, ill probably find opinions that I agree with, motives will depend, and only tangential relevance to gg.

ncg is continuously injecting this thread with articles from Roosh "Bang Iceland" V.'s site and a whole lot of videos from Davis "women, in our society, have become the most decadent sluts since the fall of Rome" Aurini. His posts are usually not commented on, but some get rated quite highly.

He's factually undermining this thread with the most misogynist, opportunist, politically charged and conspiracy theorist stuff the supposedly diverse gamergate movement tries to pull off.

I am honestly interested in whether his opinions, by popular vote, stands for gamergate supporters as present on the gog forums.

Nothing more, nothing less.

And I obviously risk a lot just asking the question, as my posts in here are usually voted down by default.

As much as I would rather not have anything whatsoever to do with you, there are times when one has to stand up to lying, bullying, stalking thugs. Enough is enough. I am NOT "continuously injecting this thread with articles from Roosh V [and] Davis Aurini". I haven't been on this thread for a few weeks and the minute I turn up so do you, attacking me for no reason. You are the one that is short on facts. For one thing, my posts on this thread are usually voted down if anything - they're rarely high rated, thats for sure. Frankly I can't recall anything you've posted ever being factual. Mendacious polemic would be more accurate. You have virtually called on the posters on this thread to gang up on me and attack me - fortunately it seems the good people here seem to have more decency than you're likely to ever have. Now I don't have anymore time for you.

Please stop stalking and stop attempting to bully me and others on this thread. You do not understand the concept of debate, discussion and exchange of ideas in a free and open society. Please keep away from me. Please go away from here.

I'm sorry that you feel offended, somewhat at least, but yes you HAVE injected this thread with V.'s site and Aurini articles, and yes, very very continuously.

If someone's jumping behind rape advisers and their wacky crew, yes I blame them. I someone's jumping behind blatantly obvious misogynists, yes I blame them.

One jumps behind them and suddenly, all that misrepresentation ceases to be misrepresentation. It's gamergate becoming what the media may describe it as.

If John Bain's more your cup of tea, then by all means, take his advice in that respect. Make sure to concentrate on ethics in journalism and get your fellows to not spin that SJW conspiracy nonsense so damn hard.

@Vainamoinen: You actually went back over all those old posts? I'm kind of flattered in a strange slightly distrubing way.

Since Oct '14. Lets see now... Thats LESS THAN ONE PER WEEK. That's hardly continuously.
And all those posts are fine. You list them like there's something wrong. I know you guys are working on it but sorry to disapoint you - free speech isn't a crime just yet.

Now ... I have family, I have home, I have hobbies, I have bills to pay etc ... Ok fascist bully boy? I have better things to do than be harrased by you ... I said everything in the above post.

To be honest, most of the Reaxxion links have been rather decent articles. The last one being rather over-dramatic and exaggerated, but...

The fact that there are people such as Leigh Alexander who have come out on Twitter to say they do this to support their causes and will continue writing articles doing so shows some level of cooperation among activists. Heck, when Zoe Quinn tweets on Twitter and her followers are all filings claims trying to get her ex-boyfriends lawyer disbarred shows a level of mob action.

I think its naive to believe all these actions are completely unconnected. You have petition drives to get games banned for "violence against women" that do not specifically target women. You have $100,000+ going to some no-name idiot merely because she claims harassment for her Kickstarter merely because she was just trying to expose how misogynist video games are. Do you really think that was going to fly without complaint? Seriously? And how much money?

You have so many idiots misusing the word misogyny (such as you Vainamoinen). Most of the dislike for these groups is not because of hatred of women in general, but rather the goals these particular groups of mostly women have in mind. Things like changing the future of video games, removing the violence, getting games these women object to banned, and making them into just stories women will like. The truth is they have been working on these goals long before most people heard of Zoe Quinn. Just look back to all the battles the GTA franchise has been enduring for a number of years.

But seriously, you calling all these people misogynists, Vainamoinen, just shows what a misandrist you are.

Well, a lot of factual realities are taboo nowadays, whether you see those as resulting from political conspiracy, collusion of interests, or just coincidence of goals and methods. And I'm kind of sure, that in typical anti GG fashion, you're injecting the misogyny angle as fundamental where it is actually superficial. That said although I see logical value in extreme MRA as well as in extreme Radfem views, I'd say both approaches are too pathological = predominantly emotional in an unbalanced way. Like bad laws follow from focusing on specific situations, bad ideologies follow from focusing on emotions, ofc, maybe that's sexist... empathy over reason, bla bla...

Also, isn't it somewhat messianic to say you risk a lot in reference to rep? :) Priorities, priorities... or rather ego, ego... sorry for the personal jab, but you chose to personalize by calling out an individual yourself.
