What exactly happened? What was this all about? Give me a quick rundown guys

Honestly I still can't believe even today ecelebs still use Gamergate as a scapegoat. Shit was 5 years ago.

Corruption in Vidya press happened as it usually does, normally those involved apologize and the corruption continues.
This time instead the woman at the center decided to be an unending cunt on Twitter about it. People fired back again and then they returned. It was exclusively internet drama and no one was physically harmed in anyway.

However the wahmen involved have continued whining about how oppressed they were (being written mean things on Twitter) while they were doing the same thing. Many game news outlets added journalistic integrity to their rules, although it hasn't stopped big firms from exerting influence.

It looked like gamergate had won for a while as the cunts had been btfo'd but cunts continue using it as a buzzword that says "I was ever so oppressed one time". Basedbois and other cunts believe them implicitly and it's been causing censorship problems.

Question? Comments? Concerns?

The holocaust was decades ago, was not a massive genocide in the grand scale of genocides and is still used to today for conquest in countries where it didn’t even occur.

I can't believe Yea Forums users still talk about it.

Metokur exposes a roastie whoring herself to game reviewers, then femminists get in, total bisquit gets in, jim sterling gets in, sargon gets in, quarter pounder gets in, people start to doxx each other and send death threats and then the 2016 elections starts end everyone lose intrests and they starts to focus on trump.

Can't claim victim status if the thing victimizing you no longer exists.
You only need to create the idea that it exists to continue making the money.

Streisand effect over people covering shit for a slut.

Yeah I went through to manually remove the GG auto blocker because anime sites started getting caught in the dragnet and most had either stopped posting around 2015/2016 or changed to a trump profile.

this, sure it backfired lol

people sick of shitty video game jounalism, it spirals into feminism, leadin to a giant feminist kickoff when women who dont understand vidya pretend thei do

Absolute fucking faggotry, but on a much larger scale than normal.

oh boy...

>What exactly happened.
Some dumb bitch who's of some uber rich jew family did a vanity project that got greenlit on steam.
Her ex boyfriend leaked some shit about how she cheated on him with five other men which is how she was able to get her game greenlit.
To Yea Forums, this was evidence that the entire gaming journalist "line of work" was one cohesive den of trust fund hipster kids that were for all intends and purposes in "being a subversive jew" training school; They weren't people who played games, just rich people who wanted to change the definition of gaming to suit their agenda.

Yea Forums basically decided that it was some sort of time to play "moral highground" and started gamergate as basically a movement of fucking with advertisement money towards gaming journos and other dumb shit.
This pissed the gaming journos off and in a move of stupidity they further proved they were one single cohesive group of people by all declaring that "Gaming was dead" and calling for some sort of weird cultural revolution so that hipster retards could still feel cool without being associated with people who actually play videogames.
moot didn't like big cross-boarding activism events so he banned it, sending all the GGers to 8ch where they continued doing shit. Eventually it all faded because the hipster retards just sort of bled into the greater collective of the left after Donald Trump won the 2016 election. Needless to say, GG never succeeded in cleaning out the arthouse degenerates from videogames, they're still ruining things for everybody.

For what it's worth, multiple games journalist sites DID update a lot of their review policies and ethics codes - including Polygon and IGN, GamesJournoPro was leaked and presumably disbanded, and it brought SJW and journalist collusion into the subconscious of the internet as as an actual topic.

Then some other faggot named Internet Aristocrat made some video named 5 Guys cause Zoe Quinn fucked 5 Guys to get somewhere in the game industry. Long story short, GG got Cheetoman in the White House and now Basedgon of Mossad wants to start GG2.

It was a disjointed and chaotic mess. Yea Forums and /pol/ vs games journalists that used feminists as meatshields and feminists that used journalists as meatshields. Also an ungodly amount of useful idiots on both sides. Lots of ecelebs used that to get big. "SJW" had been around for a while before then but thats when it became a mainstream term. All because some ugly hipster chick cheated on her boyfriend with five other dudes. One of which happened to be a journalist she used to promote her game.

The whole thing was a joke that just gets more embarrassing the more I think about it. Its not surprising that Jim nuked his channel.

A dumb whore's infidelity and general cunty behavior accidentally exposed a minor example of collusion within games media. This served as the straw that broke the camel's back for some, and the wider response the press gave to their demand for anything at all to be done about accountability led to a heavily politicized shitstorm with game journos accusing everyone everywhere of every "ism" under the sun while mountains of their nonsense was exposed. It created/elevated a number of internet personalities, a handful of websites, spawned an episode of a TV show, cost at least one corporation seven figures, etc.
Personally I thought it was great fun, solid 7/10 would shitpost again.

They could have let it burn out but they just couldn't help themselves. Or maybe that story about Moot wanting to bang that chick was true.
Either way it was a stupid call.

That's just what Zoe wanted to think, that it was all about her. The point was more that all the men she fucked were linked across multiple companies. It basically showed how close all these people were.
It didn't matter what review site, all of it was the same shit, same people.

The Finno/korean hyperwar shockwave opened wormholes that sent slavic ghost ghouls parasites into our time, those creatures were stealth paradox paraliving weapons chimically engieneered by the arcane scientist jom-gyun-quah.
Those extradimensional creatures were tasked to ruin enemies morale by afflicting the souls of the finnish enemies so that any of their hobbies would be ruined by other compatriots because of retarded and dystopic views that nobody should give a damn about.
This ghosts managed to use gamergate s breeding grounds and as you see with the elections they are increasing in numbers, they only attacks westeners because we share ancient finnish dna in our bodies, if they notice your asian origins you should in theory be safe.

With no real context, can't the photoshops be considered an admission of guilt? Expect them to be on the floor of the UN being presented some Internet Scientician who has a degree in major in gender studies and a minor in manology.

Women hating, thats legitimately it.
Nobody gave a fuck when Jeff from Giant Bomb got fired from Gamespot for giving Kayne and Lynch a shit score while it was advertised all over the site but as soon as an indie dev fucks a glorified tabloid """""writer""""" for coverage, its suddenly a problem.

Video Game """""Journalism"""" has always and will always be worthless, anybody that hadnt learned that or still doesnt know that is clearly mentally retarded.

Some slut cheated on her boyfriend, when the internet hate machine fired on her, an incestuous web of journalists came to her aid.

moot had banned shit like that before. Nobody actually remembers that Chalogy ended when it was banned, not on its own, and that it actually continued on triple-8ch. History repeats, moot always feared the power Yea Forums had when it could work together.

metacritic.com/game/pc/depression-quest
The game was only ever reviewed by one person, and I don't think he was even one of the five guys. Not to mention that he gave it a shitty score anyway.

iirc she also had "Crash Override Network" (CON) which was supposed to be some dev meetup game making event, which was obviously a scam because people found out the donation link led to her OWN paypal which used the same link as her "donate to me" button and the funds were therefore impossible to tell apart otherwise

People realized what we already knew - games journalism, aside from being an absolute joke profession meant for journalism school dropouts, is also just about as scummy as an industry can get.

Then everyone on Yea Forums sperged out and the whole world became a humiliating nightmare.

Also the reason why Gone Home got a 10/10 in the first place
And then GamesJournoPro leaks which show several devs wanting to send Zoey Quinn and apology letter and flowers lmfao and more collusion shit for reviews

>What are these reviews she got for fucking?
She got her free to play PDF simulator "Depression quest" on steam as a part of a favor from the guy she fucked. That's basically it, Zoe was never that important, she was just a part of a mishap that showed how interconnected the game jorno "industry" is. It's effectively small enough for a single whore to fuck across.

She got Depression Quest on Steam because of how retarded the greenlight system is/was.

so the game journo from a tiny insignificant industry had enough pull with steam to put a shitty free game on the platform

and thats what yall got mad about

A clusterfuck on both sides. One side became a bandwagon of shitting on game journos, and the other was professional victims. The same year also had the worst Yea Forums musical.

The "humiliation" is overplayed. It was basically people mad that some retard made a cringy "war" image showing the "sides of the battle. It had reddit on Yea Forums's shoulder, that triggered people into an mindless rage.

Most of it was game journos embarrassing themselves and a few e-celebs being retarded, nothing that would even concern Yea Forums. It's just that, any time a group of redditors start portraying Yea Forums and reddit as "friends" people basically vomit up blood and start declaring that the event has killed Yea Forums.

I should have added, it's small enough for a single whore to fuck across, powerful enough to steer the creative focus on the industry.
Just like the MSM, a relatively small group of people control the perception of the lazy masses who can't form opinions of their own.

Slut sleeps with game journalist to get good review on her game
She gets caught, and called out on it.
This had the potential to expose the whole culture of bribery which goes on with gaming journalism, so everybody involved was at risk of being exposed.
Being journalists and having the loudest mouthpiece, they all took her back, and labeled any criticism and callouts for justice as misogyny.

The general public and casual gamers (see WoW, G4) being easily gullible took the side of the journal outlets.
People more deeply involved in the gaming community took the side of meritocracy and condemned Zoe Quinn and the journalists for their corruption.
Nothing was really resolved, and both sides claim victory over the other.

The bigger fallout of GG however : m00t was identified to be in the extended circle of Anita Sarkeesian, and was also found to be a literal cuck with a feminist gamer he was dating.
Yea Forums called him out on it, hard, so hard that as his "fuck you" farewell to Yea Forums before he left, he removed and uprooted mods who had been with the site since 2004, and strategically and deliberately replaced then with people from Anita's extended circle as well as others involved on the slutting side of GG for the sole purpose of ending Yea Forums's reign as the "internet hate machine"

The result was for a long while, heavy censorship all across Yea Forums, every board, even Yea Forums. Nobody could say a single thing against women, gays, trans, without potential risk of temp or even permabans.
It caused many to leave, and it's what whipped /pol/ into its frenzy about psyops and censorship which carries on to this day.

Indie developer had an affair, her ex boyfriend posted the people she allegedly had an affair with, among them was a guy writing fornKotaku, people assumed she had an affair with him for good reviews, turns out he didn't actually review the game, but at this point a bunch of shady political ideologues, almost all of which would later resurface as Trump cheerleaders, are instrukebtalizing the outrage for their own purposes. Bannon has actually talked about how useful GamerGate was to his agenda.

Sorry, let me rephrase that.
Comparatively, nobody gave a fuck about Jeff getting fired due to giving a legitimate, honest review of a bad/mediocre game while Gamespot had their pockets lined by Eidos.

moot was also the Bull in that story because the jew girl he was trying to fuck was in a relationship with another man at the time they took the eurotrip.

The reality is even if Yea Forums has shitposting, falseflagging, fakeposting, none of that matters to the average lurker. What matters most is which argument makes the most sense logically - if you're not appealing to lurkers then your post is garbage and falls flat because everyone already knows in the back of their head "ad hominem" - we don't have to say it. But it's still fun to use shit like that to ridicule obviously retarded posts and to call people fags all day, when it comes to serious discussion then it's usually better to drop pretense.

Let’s be honest, wat is a female in modern gaming? There are no female devs anymore and if they are, they aren’t successful because they’re pozzed to hell and the only reason they got into gaming was to spite man. Any who were successful got pushed out by trannies and various other jew pets for failing to push the agenda correctly. Female development is dead.

a ton of shitflinging between far left autists and video game obsessed autists.

they really weren't

it was about radicalizing Yea Forums and banning funposting

can't believe this lead to Donald Trump becoming president.

>the only reason they got into gaming was to spite man
how do you figure?

GG and tortanic really really fucked this board up

Some dumb faggot got mad his girlfriend cucked him with a bunch of other dudes.
Turns out that girlfriend was a game dev. And the dudes she cucked him with were panelists on an "indie game judging competition", and she won that competition. This of course is just circumstantial, but she tried so hard to deny it she even went so far as to fabricate death threats and shit, which just made her look guilty.

What should have been someone apologizing and being stripped of a meaningless, rewardless indie award turned into a bunch of retarded cunts screaming louder and louder about how they did nothing wrong and they couldn't see why people could possibly assume they'd fucked other people for their own personal gain.
They may have been proof at some point she was rewarded for the sex but I stopped paying attention not long after it started because:

Every fucking gaming publication under the sun, EXCEPT IGN (funnily enough) started their whole crusade of saying gamers were dead for expecting legitimacy in gaming awards. Gamers were horrible people, should be killed (not even exaggerating) and a bunch of other disgusting shit. Some shit devs started up a kickstarter and swindled retards from nu-Yea Forums for like $50,000 or so, it's where that unironically SOULLESS ginger bitch came from, and gamergate turned into some pointless "war" where everyone was getting mad, and then it just devolved into political shit in 2016, it's not people who give a shit about some dumb slut who fucked guys for an indie award (if it happened), it's about alt right and muh ess jay doubleyou.

It's pointless. There's no substance to it anymore, it's a label for something that doesn't fit it's content anymore. It's like looking at addictinggames, it's not addictinggames anymore evne if it's the same url

GamerGate literally got the FTC to update their endorsement guidelines for reviews and ethics policies. I actually covered this once myself where an IGN writer wrote something like Top 8 Gaming Books you should Buy - and then he remade the article two years later with two more books except this time all the links had an endorsement tag on them so he'd get a percentage or bonus for people that purchase the items.

There really are no good publicized female devs anymore. I mean, the last one was that Jade chick. That was a decade ago.

retards flooded the site for a decent cause, blew liberal videogames media all the way the fuck out, and then shat all over themselves and everyone else when they literally got what they wanted and couldn't figure out what to do next.
also directly responsible for m00t lea ing and /pol/ invading and ruining every other board.

no, that was out in the open. if they do it privately it's a conspiracy

>brianna wu
>her

And the Trump won and all their little gay identity shit was beaten the fuck out.

so the details are foggy, but iirc it was part of this game dev contest to encourage women to get into game development. zoe...I think was in the contest, but got booted, and she then kicked up a stink that the devs weren't going to be paid because....I think all the money raised was going to charity?

I think that's what the issue was. Basically she wanted money from them. They said no, so she got the journalists she slept with to blacklist them.

mods banned GG threads on Yea Forums, but not /pol/

which lead to the redpilling of lots of people

Game journalists are shit, people boycotted them, journalists cried wolf and said the people boycotting them were sexist.
Since journalists write the news, this is what people think the reality of the situation is.

People change, times change..
Crazy stuff.

Months of autistic screeching.

But /pol/ was extremely annoyed of Yea Forums posting on the board. They don't fucking care about us when they already think video games are degeneracy.

/pol/ is unironically better for talking about video games, since you don't get dilating trannies screaming "POL POL POL" every other post like you do on Yea Forums.

>Zoe Quinn cheats on her boyfriend with five guys, some of whom gave her "game" positive coverage
>boyfriend posts a blog entry about this
>vidya journalism is already an absolute joke (just look at Dorito Pope two years prior) but this is the straw that breaks its credibility's back
>Yea Forums and other sites take this as the time to rally against it through trying to persuade advertisers to drop them and the like
>journalists respond by accusing them of sexism because the inciting incident involved a woman and a minority of faggots indeed took this as their chance to bitch about how much they hate women as a whole
>they also combine to publish near-identical articles about the "death of the gamer identify" on the same damn day
>GG eventually fizzles out, not really achieving anything beyond increasing the gap between consumers and those who cover the industry
>journalists now take every possible chance to shit on the stereotypical "gamer" and vice versa

Reminder GG uncovered IGF and Phil Fish's huge conflict of interest.
>Phil Fish's game gets funded by IGF Judges
>they have a monetary investment
>his game gets voted to win IGF Award
>games media and IGF prop him up
>IGF judges win out and so does Phil Fish
to the point where they had to change their judging process

also Patricia Hernandez besides being a tranny and shit journo, who is literally only in the business because of connections has a lot of ethical problems

but then we all left for some other chan made by a little dude in a wheelchair
honestly don't really remember that part or how we all ended up back here again

This a great post that also pertains to /pol/. You Optics are a fucking meme when your enemy controls the news.

>Unless specifically on a writer's profile page, Polygon staffers do not cover companies (1) in which they have a financial investment, (2) that have employed them previously or (3) employ the writer's spouse, partner or someone else with whom the writer has a close relationship.

And Ben Kuchera who donates to Quinn's Patreon while denying it for months, and writes articles about her.

Gorilla Hernandez is a tranny? I thought she was only a highly masculine woman.

>Game journalists are shit!

Everybody knows the people who call videogames degenerate are basically just normalfags who do play videogames, but hate themselves for not doing things that would allow them to obtain the power to make the political changes they want.

Jesus kek it's amazing how people who are only just being exposed to a concept can act as such an authority on it.

every tourist here is using Yea Forums

I can't tell, I thought she was a tranny? You can never tell anymore if it's a really masculine woman or a tranny.

Yeah, but imagine unironically going to GunEnthusiest.com and seeing a bunch of articles about how people who own guns are retarded and problematic, and how guns should be banned, and nobody who writes for the website even knows how to shoot.
