BTW! Have you heard the Good News! Owen and Aurini are reunited!!!

The "Sarkeesian Effect" is back on track. They've got Jordan a minder and he'll be concentrating on the music.

They're on budget too which means you can put those C.C.s away now folks! They're no longer taking sponsers. And the documentary - "The Sarkeesian Effect" - our last best hope to defeat the evil empire - will be out in May or June '15.

Now lets just hope Jordan doesn't figure out that Aurini wasn't really talking about Seth MacFarlan. X-D

Some media figures have turned it into this now though:

Rational? Do ant-GGs speak a different language as well ;D?

#notyourshield is the response of female, black, gay, bisexual, etc... gamers to the anti-gamergate hordes using them as, well... shield against critics:

One more thing; if there isn't objective proof for a claim, that claim is a fairy tail. Good saying to remember.

About the whole "Gamers are dead"-conspiracy:
http://wiki.gamergate.me/index.php?title=Gamers_are_Dead

Seeing how tighly all those people are linked together and coordinate their publications is telling,
I remember the days when all those sites suddenly published the same message with the same words in reaction to being accused of corruption.

Proof:
Old tactics: Widely arranged denouncing of critics.

The escapist one seems pointless. Its literally a wall of text in which Yatzee tries to make a weak point; that gamers aren't a minority nor an aristocracy.

Behold all Gamasutra-haters out there! :o)

Greg Johnson, the dev of Toe Jam & Earl (remake currently on kickstarter) has posted a really good article where he talks about creative vision and diversity in videogames. No bullshit, just his toughts and (good&bad) personal experiences:

It's best to go in chronological order. The old InternetAristocrat videos give a good overview on how things got rolling. Link to the playlist:

(FYI, InternetAristocrat has taken down his channel, that account is just a mirror)

Usually these accusations by GamerGate are countered with personality-attacks like "oh, your just hate women". That's BS, the reality is that GamerGate has been boiling up for years, it's just that the Quinn incident was the straw that broke the camel's back.

This prompted people to start doing their own research, and the result is that the game journalists are only the tip of the iceberg. The people pulling the strings in reality are rich individuals and academic organisations such as DIGRA or private organisations such as Silverstring Media. Here is a video of a presentation given to a group of game journalists urging them to give up neutrality. Watch it to the end:

Here is an academic's work on what would later directly or indirectly become the "Gamer are dead" articles:

There is much more under the surface that I'm not aware of, but it should be enough to prove that this is not just some lunatic conspiracy theory. If you want to know details the GamerGate.me site seems to be a good point to start reading. They have a Wiki and a timeline of events.

Thanks. :-)
Thanks:-)

thanks for all the links everyone there's so much on this topic I feel like I've slept through an eathquake! LOL I guess I'll be catching up for a while!! ;-)

LOL no, please feel free to participate in whatever discussion you want, the whole *trollface* thing was because I was knowingly posting a history of Gamersgate that, I don't know, I suspect some may have felt was a little biased against Gamersgate when most of the people commenting in this thread are pro-Gamersgate

I didn't want people to think that I was deluded enough to think that I was posting a completely fair and unbiased source, it wasn't directed at you at all, I swear

Saying THAT though, if you're going to be that paranoid and thin-skinned I think you'll fit in with this whole pro-GG crowd just fine :P
*trollface, again*

*edit*
Also, correct me if I'm wrong everyone, but I don't think a source EXISTS that both side could ever agree was fair and unbiased, I think, if you're undecided you just a have to read one heavy biased source that leans one way and then read one that leans the other - I was just getting mine in first!

I dont feel thats being paranoid or thin skinned ...
and I can't say if I fit in with the pro-GG crowd or not
I wa s just thanking you for the link but whatev mate
