@teratology@the.asbestos.cafe I think it was moreso like gross journalistic corruption and nepotism which was uncovered and when the "perpetrators" therein were called out for it they blamed things like "sexism" and "patriarchy" and started actively attacking and demonizing the entire customer base of the industry they were producing journalism for which was bandwagoned by other media entities and basically woke up a lot of people to the fact that the establishments hate you and view you as cattle and the house always wins. @icedquinn@blob.cat

@teratology @icedquinn The coordinated and continuous shutdown of anyone talking about the initial event (which was basically meaningless) and shutdown of people noticing the shutdown, infuriated people and made the backlash worse, like infinitely worse than if it was just ignored.
All the indie journalists and indie game developers were in the groups, they were often friends, and in many, many cases competition judges and journalists were investors in games that they critiqued. -

This. This exact reaction was the key part of the dynamic, that caused gamergate to explode. It wasn't the initial corruption. It was that when it was pointed out, this enormous coordinated simultaneous response from numerous outlets with the exact same message, slightly reworded, dropped all on the same day. It was later discovered that they did coordinate with secret email lists. And if you point it out, your post gets deleted.
This gaslight of "criticism of our corruption is invalid because you hate women and minorities", which grew to "gamers hate women and minorities and gamers don't need to be your audience." "gamers are over".
How dare they say the emperor has no clothes.
Now keep pre-ordering your AAA slop, and don't complain no matter how bad it is. The videogame industry is stronger than ever. If you don't agree then you're a white supremacist misogynist. -

>to just running denial and counter-accusation game
The culture and philosophy that they're coming from is similar though, and I've thought that the same dynamic that occurred in gamergate has repeated many times since then, without any explicit relation, in the Woke and ESG shit.
The very soviet "everything is perfect and we are perfect and never make any mistakes ever and you are the evil enemy and must be destroyed for even suggesting the notion that anything is wrong." It's like narcissistic abuser dynamic writ large. Any valid criticism, no matter how minor, is treated as "hate", especially shoehorned into an idpol "you just hate women and minorities" way.
And they take as many as will fall for it with them as they go over the cliff, like it's a giant ponzi scheme. FTX is a literal ponzi example of this, complete with "effective altruism".
The videogame industry is currently going over that cliff, and I'll be genuinely interested to see if Activision/Blizzard get bought by Tencent, because I do have a tinfoil hat theory that China is pushing woke in industry so that it can crash and be bought up cheaply by Tencent, who will then go anti-woke but pro-CCP-censorship with them, because Woke is the gift you give to an organization that you want to die. -

I'm not a gamer.
But I was rubbernecking this nonsense from the start, and it was obvious right from day one that #gamergate was a way for corrupt corporate shills to deflect from their own corruption by trying to shift the blame to someone/everyone else. Part of the reason I caught on so quick was that I'd seen the exact same pattern over and over again previously in the left-wing activist milieu (eg. Occupy movement).
My assessment now is that most of the folks involved in proclaiming the "gamers are racist/sexist/bigots" narrative, had/have all the classic signs of narcissistic personality disorder. Their ability to organise a lynch mob under false pretences has discredited everything they stand for in my eyes. Even when I agree with them, I won't make common cause with these people for that reason.iced depresso likes this. -

you have to put some controls on group membership because the actions of whoever takes on the "brand" will shape its reputation. it's not a novel convept, e.g. trademark holders need to actively defend their trademarks to not risk losing them. so claiming that harassment was not part of goobergrapes would require a credible effort to exclude bad actors, which nobody undertook.
>I'm trying to say that real people with real jobs at real companies making real money with their actions, lying about groups of people, is not comparable to anons going on the internet and telling lies.
that's a technicality and doesn't actually matter to anyone except meme war vets who haven't gotten over their vietnam
>The journos desperately need those two things (professionals lying and anons lying) to be equally valued, to create a "well both sides did bad things so it cancels out". If those things aren't equivalent, then they're assholes.
the journos operate in a value system where you lost from the very beginning, to them death threats, misgendering, swatting etc is a billion times worse than being overly general in a hit piece meant to boost morale. -

That entire argument of ethics of games journalism was so fucking stupid. There was never anything remotely ethical about game’s journalism it was literally just commercials. No one called out the real issues like EA buying up indie dev groups and cannibalizing and gutting them into shells of their former selves for what basically amounted to pocket change or the danger of micro transactions and DLC
I don’t goobergate 2 would make much of a difference. Most of the male gamers are malding over what they deem as “politics” in their games. Politics to them is a vague repellent to them that could mean a lot of things but from what I noticed is any kind of reference to mainstream political happenstances which is retarded because most of kojima’s games are literally just that lmao
The borderlands series cashed in on diversity/“sjw” rhetoric and made tons of money despite the games not being that good but so many normies bought them and liked them a lot despite the additions of they/thems, and corny ass storylines about the evils of misogyny and racism
I like how people focus on overwatch 2 censoring the girls and not that activsion-blizzard-Microsoft scammed a lot of people out of $60 on a free to play game promising them a story mode campaign that got canned
EA canceled alice maddness 3 too, I'm still pissed. -

more specifically what DIE actually does is it sets race quotas. its literally affirmative action that was already tried and abolished brought back because larry fink has too much money and can basically decide single handedly who gets funding or not because of that.
its a subtle thing but it comes down to is the character black because it makes a good story, or the actor is damned good, vs what blizzard did where their internal documents show the overwatch cast was made because "we need Old Woman and Black Guy to satisfy the quota" -

can't remember if it was socrates or aristotle who complained about it, but divide-and-rule by race is a time-honored tradition dating back thousands of years as the single most effective way to keep the peasants from organizing a meaningful resistance. the modernized version of race marxist comes from a certain group from the frankfurt university in germany dating back to 1923

@All_bonesJones @icedquinn @Moon @ic3l9 @teratology I still like it's the Smith Mundt Modernization Act of 2012, which lifted the post-WWII prohibition for the government to propagandize US citizens. That's the same year the word "woke" appeared. It was not in use before then. Suddenly all the postmodern feminist racist university scholarship rot that was collecting dust got huge money and went mainstream. Suddenly being color-blind was the new racism, and quotas and seeing people as their skin-color was the new "anti-racism". This accelerated after the 2016 election with an "all hands on deck" meeting of tech CEOs to make sure 2016 never ever happens again. Then the "shadow campaign that saved the 2020 election". [The Current Thing].
I do think Woke was created by glowies for divide-and-rule by race. Intersectionality is the ultimate wedge issue that can subdivide groups against themselves infinitely, and keep everyone extremely angry and afraid and divided all the time. -

I used to be more accepting of these people but have become a realist with age.
