There's no stopping the Chu-Chu train
LMAO. Chu really is a nutjob. I watched Milo and Sommers talk in that horde of evil cisgendered white hetero neckbeards, and boy, did they look like a friendly bunch of people. It's a shame the cops and taxpayer's money pay the price for this nonsense.
is there a chance that it has been planned event by gamergate society to bolster interest to their... how to call it?.. movement?
Like "nobody cares about GG, let us call a police and tell them, that there is a bomb in the building? because why not?"
cheap publicity stunt.
What the hell is gamer gate even about? All this time and I've never been able to understand it. I mean I know how it started, but what's the overall movement about?
No idea. It's such a shitshow but it's been worth following for these past 8 months for the entertainment value.What the hell is gamer gate even about? All this time and I've never been able to understand it. I mean I know how it started, but what's the overall movement about?

It's about sh*t lords driving women out of gaming. No women are allowed.

The basis behind Gamergate's existence is ethics in game journalism. Gamers started to become more and more aware of this sort of connection between game developers/publishers and game reviewers, leading to misinformed purchases, lies, manipulation, etc etc. A notable example that woke people up being what happened to Jeff Gerstmann, when he was fired from Gamespot for leaving a less than savory review for Kane and Lynch:Dead Men.

Moments like this lead to distrust between gamers and game reviewers. Then fast forward a few years and you have Zoe Quinn. She's an indie game dev. Her ex-boyfriend posted a long article online about how she cheated on him, not only that but apparently with a few people in the game industry that would leave reviews for her game. At least, thats what the point was.
This caused outrage online because it was an example of a game dev sleeping with a reviewer to get a favorable review, which in turn would mislead gamers and yet again lower the value of game journalism.

So the subject of ethics in games journalism came up, but it was also mixed in with a lot of people attacking Zoe Quinn for her infidelity and apparent sleeping around. Zoe went to her friends, and then the ethics in games journalism got mixed in with the third wave feminist crowd, as Quinn was being bullied online. Since then, there's been a battle over, for, and against GamerGate, some still holding on to its original purpose, others claiming that the issues involving women and feminism are more relevant, usually over the subject of misogyny in gaming.

There's been a whole mess since, doxxing, threats, horribly sexist statements about men and women, douchebaggery from all sides, etc etc.
Its not worth being a part of, no matter the side you'd take.

Seems like common tactic and the other group know very well how to use it.
"Hypothetical" scenario:
Let's say certain group is not doing very well (Q1, Q2) despite all the efforts. Their propaganda is losing its momentum so what should they do?
Oh there is an opportunity on the horizon. GG shows up, so let's use it and play some victim cards (Q3).
Money started rolling in but not enough. Let's cancel an event an play "death threat" card (Q4).
$$$$. Win.

The Khal stated it best. Not worth being a part of.
You are guaranteed survival at my wedding whenever the hell it happens.
Even though I align with Gamergate, I'm getting tired of this drama that surrounds it. That being said, I'm not really surprised that this is not getting coverage since the media sees Gamergate the same way they look at a terrorist. If this was Anita getting these threats, I guarantee that would get major coverage along with a witch hunt on Gamergaters. All while the image of gamers is further damaged.
You know what the Pro-GG and Anti-GG crowds need? A gun duel between the big shots on both sides.
Good way to cull both herds.
You are guaranteed survival at my wedding whenever the hell it happens.
10/10, would sit patiently and tell her about my day while she makes me a nice stew and thanks me for visiting her.
Sexist. you can make your own stew.
i fing it hard to beleve her own Feminists attacked her (Bassed Mom.) when her husband was dying while us "Sexist raceist Sectarian terrorists." Rallied to help her.

They aren't really her feminists; it's those damn new age feminist SJW who thinks it's okay to harass someone but if someone so much disagrees with them, they are worst than Hitler.

This but to put it simply Would you buy a Used car from a guy who was getting payed to sell you a bannger?
basicaly Do you trust a Biased review from someone who is adviseing you to spend your money.
OMG im a Sexist.
A few "Based Mom" videos for those who do not know of Christina Hoff Sommers-
They aren't really her feminists; it's those damn new age feminist SJW who thinks it's okay to harass someone but if someone so much disagrees with them, they are worst than Hitler.
Yeah i know but my point was that the 3rd wave arnt even propper Feminists in my eye. Chrstina is.
And if you're curious as to what stance Based Mom has that GamerGaters have embraced and Anti-GamerGaters have attacked her for-
If thats too long for you, jump to the hour mark or so, but it really is worth a listen whether you agree or disagree with her stance.
What the hell is gamer gate even about? All this time and I've never been able to understand it. I mean I know how it started, but what's the overall movement about?
It's - giving it the benefit of the doubt - a large group of people that picked a time and circumstance to get up in arms publishers being in bed with major gaming sites about an issue that - even their original intention was perfectly legitimate - makes them all look incredibly and almost comically sexist and misogynistic, essentially because the label was invented at a time when largely sexist trolls had openly attacked a developer for posting about her scummy ex-boyfriend.
The label is so stupidly toxic because of this, there's absolutely no sensible reason why anyone who purportedly cares about the underlying issue would ever use it.
It's also about a large group of faux intellectuals throwing labels around that they don't understand, though this applies to both sides.
Honestly GG is simply about people telling SJWs to go f*ck themsleves and it's long overdue. Sommers is a prime example, she literally had to have security at a college event because authorities were worried about the protestors and 'safe spacers' who might be triggered her words. I mean this is bizarro land. These people cry about intolerance, yet they are the most intolerant around.
I can't watch it on YT, I may be able to analyze it here.
