Why is OP considered the biggest faggot?
Is it soi?
Idk any time he gets a random thought he runs to go post about it, so what is it about OP being such a faggot?
There is little to no sincerity on this board anymore
It's all post-post-ironic stuff and it's really boring and extremely predictable
Because it's the containment board for underages and trannies so personalities and ages clash.
Here's a timeline:
-Yea Forums is born, boring, neutral board, some console wars
-a faction from Yea Forums moves in, they worship Maddox, an old internet personality, at the time his gimmick was to be a bitter, raging, cynical asshole, they shape themselves on his beheavior
-Yea Forums faction takes over Yea Forums, as it was a small board to begin with, little resistence
-Yea Forums shapes itself in it's proto-modern form, everyone is an asshole, but the board is still apolitical
-various eras go by, too long to list in detail, for the purpose of what you actually want to know i'll skip this part
-GG happens, /pol/ smells an opportunity, moves in
-/pol/ takes over Yea Forums
-/pol/ shapes Yea Forums into it's new incarnation, board becomes incredibly political
-part of Yea Forums is purged to cripplechan
-things keep degenerating until part of Yea Forums itself is sick of /pol/
-infighting starts
-every thread is either raging assholes and/or political infighting
-current era
VIDEO GAMES
ps4 is the cutest
>muh /pol/
Gigantic liar newfag, your next post will be "calling everyone niggers and fags was ironic"!
cute shotas
rage is for faggot basedboys who dont have their emotions in check.
Quite a feminine thing if you think abiut it.
So basically they are mad because it's hip?
Yea Forums stopped being the most angry or even influential board. Now it's the most retarded. I think we peak Yea Forums in audacious impotence given we literally base our entire creative culture around 2-3 specific image templates and arguments made up of of screaming "seethe" and "dilate" at each other.
Also this. This board is perhaps the most stagnated of them all on the website.
It was.
If you think everybody who uses the word nigger in online games is a white supremacist I have some fucking news for you.
incels, poltards, manchildren, shills, contrarians, nostalgiafaggots... videogames are a hobby that attracts the worst scum of the internet.
angry Yea Forums doed years ago
modern Yea Forums is best known for its porn addiction and obsessions with transsexuals
IKR? Even niggers like me can't say nigger in games now even when they are very obviously niggers without being called some variety of fascist, I honestly might just start getting some reaction images of that black guy in iron sky and just fucking roll with it at this point.
>obsessions with transsexuals
this discord tranny stuff is just a fad meme that started in the past few months and will pass in no time
unless you're including stuff like bailey jay
>using a racial slur now makes you a white supremacist
See what actually changed? See which direction the overton window shifted to?
Unlike you, I have been here for quite a long time and I can tell the only thing that changed is that normalfags invaded the internet and started getting triggered over established cultural lines and forcefully tried to change it.
Well guess what, I will keep calling you a nigger and lying about the site's past won't make me leave.
Yea Forums will get mad about something else as usual once trannies die down, the only real way to fix it is by making a twitter screencap and smash containment board
This thread is Yea Forums
If you had actually been around long enough you'd know it's just a part of the culture
FPS people pioneered the use of nigger
RTS people pioneered the use of faggot
MMO people pioneered the various use cases of tard
But these people also have an education and know that intelligence and earnings are based on economic determinism and other socioeconomic factors, and that immigration is essential to the fundamentals of capitalism and is a net positive for society because they paid attention in school.
I don't know, I don't want this place to be a hugbox, but it's sad to see people getting angry because you like X but they don't. I'm also sick of all those Twitter/Resetera/Reddit dramas, I don't know them, I don't care about them, I don't give two shits what they say. It's also too americanized, full of edgy brats and unstable fanboys.
>few months
It's been like two years man.

Yea Forums ironically has slowed down in cultural exchange despite claiming that reddit is invading them.
>Yea Forums
it's teenagers venting their sexual frustration in unison. Combine this with group think and utterances to get attention from their peers.
>intelligence and earnings are based on economic determinism and other socioeconomic factors, and that immigration is essential to the fundamentals of capitalism and is a net positive for society because they paid attention in school.
Of which you literally have no proof of and the fact that tons of genetic studies confirming that intelligence, personalities and culture are genetics. Don't be severely retarded user, your outdated nurture theory has been BTFO long ago
>everyone called everyone else niggers and faggots before
>but now you can't
Gee whiz almost like it's not because of some mythical /pol/ invasion but rather SJWs invading the internet, do you even realize how you clearly tried to invert the order of events?
Stay on topic guys
I'd LOVE to see an academic source or any empirical evidence that isn't from some nothing website that has found a correlation between race and intelligence.
Rednecks and SJWs learned to use the internet at the same time, don't revise history.
Rednecks don't have any influence in the industry, fucking idiot.
Stop pretending to be le radical centrist, you are one the dishonest SJWs people hate.
Not at all no, it's late 2018 at the most, which is a few months ago
boards.fireden.net
really didn't pick up speed till recently
What else would you expect from a board filled with racists?
They’ve lost the war and can’t say the shit they say here outside for fear of getting btfo. They know that they have no good arguments yet keep persisting in their bigotry. They’re mad and blame all their problems on minorities.
It’s no wonder that they’re perpetually angry all the time.
I'm right wing, I'm just not a fucking retard.
Shut the fuck up nigger
You've never done anything with your life and never will, you can't take credit for the work of our ancestors and they would be disgusted if they knew what a sack of shit you are.
All of you to too >>>/pol
It’s not, that would be /pol/.
...
Casuals thinking they're allowed to talk
Most of Yea Forums are uneducated Americans. It explains Yea Forums‘s violent behavior.
People were saying nigger for shock value because it was edgy and funny, but overall nobody really cared about its political implications other than that it was a no-no word
Nowadays people say nigger as a sign of serious contempt against niggers and as a way of marking their territory as anti-SJW
The difference is that if the former gets called out for saying nigger he'll respond: "lol nigger I don't care", whereas with the latter the response you'll get is something along the lines of: "what's the matter, discord tranny? triggered much? dilate and have sex".
The difference is that the former simply desires lulz and doesn't care who gets the shaft, while the latter does so with the mindset of perpetuating the ongoing culture war to whom the internet is srs bsns. At least the formers' lackadaisical attitude gives you the faintest impression that you two can be bros, whereas the latter modern wielder of the N-Word Sword gives off the impression that he has a dick up his ass at all times and is routinely obsessed with making clear that leftists are not welcome in his abode.
/pol/iggers need to fuck off back to their board.
>it was ironic!
>it was Yea Forums that changed because of muh /pol/, not because of redditors invading Yea Forums!
Holy shit, do you really think your obvious lies will stick one day?
There's a "culture war" going on because of tourists like you that insist on being obviously new instead of lurking more, it tells you something when literally everyone that blames /pol/ is a left-wing activist, no one cared about people calling each other niggers before because Yea Forums didn't have SJWs like you who get booty-bothered over slurs.
Console war shitposting mixed with how lazy wojak and Pepe are
spot on, anyone going against that post is a nu-fag and should go back into lurking mode for the next two years.
Way to go and prove that user's post correct by sperging out like an autist.
>culture war
This proves you're new as fuck.
This will NEVER be a place for political activism, the internet will never be serious business and you can fuck off back to wherever you came from.
heres the short version
>GG happens
>reddit finds out about muh sekrit club
>they stay
>everybody with actual interests in vidya moves to >>>fuck you im not telling
>This will NEVER be a place for political activism
Exactly, which is why you need to fuck off and stop trying to change board culture to what you deem appropriate, you aren't fooling anyone.

And the best part is that you're going to dismiss all of this just because you're too retarded to read or comprehend anything as is usual of leftard
Nah m8 you're left wing and purely retarded which is why you spout retarded leftist drivel like race don't exist in the first place.
>I'm right wing
yeah I doubt anyone believes that at all
video games don't make us violent, lag does.

And of course these 2 retards have always ALWAYS fail to bring up proof that it was all ironic every time

Especially when they aren't confident enough in their own findings to say a straight yes or no.
Was le happy merchant ironic too? :^)
Did you know that was a meme way before GG and way before you ever started posting here?
Haha, gamers are angry! Haha! Rage quit! I raged at Dark Souls because it's too difficult and CoD because of "campers" (gamer lingo for people squatting still in corners in video game for extended periods of time, shooting passers-by)
so much revisionism by election newfags itt
>post anything on Yea Forums
>always expect someone to reply angrily insulting me
Oh yeah thats what this thread was meant to be about
There was a time when /pol/ did not exist and neither did their shitty OC. Nor /r9k/ and their krautchan abominations. When you fuckers moved in and attracked normalfags with chanology and fappening, things took a turn for hte worse and GG was the finishing fucking blow.
I don't care anymore fuck /pol/niggers. Im sick of the constant political bullshit cancer that's killing Yea Forums. Fuck your cocksucking /pol/ censor gayniggerfaggotry where if you even bring /pol/ up you get swarmed by the gay ass faggy cumguzzling /pol/discord faggots who then start spamming links to non vidya bullshit. jesus fucking christ how hard is it to talk about video games without bringing up niggershit politics that you freaks cant go 2 minutes without talking about. also fuck /int/ too they do the same bullshit. drunk posting was a mistake
>>it was ironic!
I can only guess that you've been through similar conversations in the past and that you can kind of predict the replies you're going to get, but in this case you're not reading my posts. You're seeing the accumulation of your past experiences instead of reality, so you're thinking I'm saying something that's likely to be said and making responses that greatly gloss over what I'm actually saying as a result. Please read what I'm actually saying.
Am I mistaken for thinking this? If so, do tell why.
Listen, if I wanted to imply that people were saying nigger ironically, I would have implied that people revel in being seen as racist, which may have been true for old/pol/, but the intent behind saying it for Yea Forums and Yea Forums is nothing more than plain disregard for any societal norms as typefied the political stances of the Gen X'ers that inhabited Yea Forums at the time (basically, 'fuck politics') as a result of the aftermath of 9/11 on American society. They didn't necessarily even hate niggers, they didn't do so because they were closeted about hating niggers, they didn't do so out of any tangible political belief, they just said it because it was funny and because they were bored. It's not the same milquetoast "I'm only ironically pretending to hate jews but really I'm not" irony of today.
>no one cared about people calling each other niggers before because Yea Forums didn't have SJWs like you who get booty-bothered over slurs
Refer back to my first paragraph, I don't know how you draw this conclusion given the amount of time I've said nigger in both of my posts.
>pool's closed due AIDS
god /pol/fags get so seething literally every time someone calls them on their shit. you ruined this website faggot
>le merely pretending
You're probably one of those unironic nigger retard that believe that nigger did not have a higher crime rate than whites.
THERE IS NO MODERATION
ONLY ONE IN A HUNDRED POSTS IS ABOUT VIDEO GAMES
THE OTHER NINETY-NINE TRY THEIR HARDEST TO DISRUPT AND DERAIL
THIS ENTIRE BOARD IS JUST A SERIES OF EXCHANGES BETWEEN TEENAGERS DESPERATE TO HAVE THE LAST WORD
EVERY IMAGE IS ONE OF THE SAME 5 VARIATIONS OF WOJAK
EVERY POST IS A VARIATION OF "U MAD"
THIS IS A DYING BOARD
FUCK IT
>trying to talk sense into animals that need to be put down
Hey user I hate black people too but /pol/ is cancer
>Am I mistaken for thinking this? If so, do tell why.
Read your own post:
>People were saying nigger for shock value because it was edgy and funny, but overall nobody really cared about its political implications other than that it was a no-no word
>they just said it because it was funny and because they were bored
You are saying it was ironic and done for shock value.
>Nowadays people say nigger as a sign of serious contempt against niggers and as a way of marking their territory as anti-SJW
Now you contradict yourself and say it is NOW used to shock normalfags even though you said it was done so before too.
Do you even realize your own cognitive dissonance? Do you seriously think you are saying something clever and insightful? Did you think this was going to be the epic post that will make "/pol/tards" realize their mistakes?
Your lies simply won't stick and won't change the fact that an anonymous board naturally attracts socially unacceptable opinions due to its anonymous nature, you can try to push for your particular political opinions but all you can do is hope that the site keeps getting more neogaf/resetera tourists that nod their heads in unison, but you won't change anyone's opinions with lies.
Just because we call people niggers and faggots doesn't mean that catalog needs to be filled with literal negro crime statistics and bitching about some tranny vidya e-celeb's controversial twitter screencap
Pic related is from 2013 and is still accurate.
Plenty of compelling evidence, but none that hint at a correlation between race and intelligence.
It's not that the research hasn't been done, you just haven't posted any.
This guy was ahead of his time
What's most hilarious is that the people that complain about /pol/ also go on to immediately campaign for their own political beliefs in the same thread despite saying they don't want politics, you guys could at least try to be a bit less obvious.
He was. GG ruined this board beyond all hope of redemption.
Man, you poltard normalfags are really fucking stupid and self righteous, it's such an infuriating sight to behold. The reasons behind the use of that word were different. That's what he is trying to tell you. It is not used to shock normalfags now because niggers being criminals is not fucking shocking to anyone you cretin. Back in the day when someone was called a nigger it was done because it was offensive and shocking, the same way kids in high school drew swastikas to see their teachers get mad which I did as well, I wasn't drawing them because I wanted to join fucking Hitlerjugend, I was doing it because it was something I was told not to do, I wasn't about to get up and crank out the salute and shout Sieg Heil. Can you understand the difference between the two, you malformed travesty? There is no cognitive dissonance, doing it for the lulz and doing it because you are drunk on your fucking ideological crusades are two entirely different things.
Making this thread was a mistake
this, it's beyond tiresome
What an insecure buffoon of a post that lacks any sort of substance and goes into outright revisionist rant that defeat his original argument. Your claim that the word nigger or any racial slurs that was spoken back then are all ""ironic"" are not supported by any proof nor witnesses by so called oldfags. The fact that /n/ existed and was deleted due to heavy use of racism was proof that /pol/-like sentimentality has always been on this site for a long time. Put some critical thinking into it lad. There's a reason why the nigger word itself is both funny and offensive at the same time and its not because of some ironic shitposters having a giggle. The word already have precedents and you're just too much of a buffoon to see it. Now watch as you howl at this post thinking that your brand of propaganda is right and that based /pol/chads are wrong because you're too much of a retarded newfag.
I mainly just get insanely ass blasted not at the video games themselves but at the people of this board. This board truly has some of the dumbest low IQ fucking monkeys of any board ever.
seethere is no difference when saying the word nigger back then and today you retarded nigger.
>it's such an infuriating sight to behold.
If telling truths is infuriating to you then imagine how people feel about complete lies.
As for the rest of the post, refer to:
en.wikipedia.org
You are changing the meaning and impact of words in your head to append supposed new-age radicalism to it to try to cope with your cognitive dissonance and the fact that the only thing that actually changed was social acceptability, not the people saying the words.

There was also a lot of whining from newfags about stormfags in 2013, and guess what, they were told to go back to tumblr like we are telling you to go back to resetera now.
I blame the moderators, specifically that Yea Forums doesn't have any.
I mean, yeah, Yea Forums was never about moderation but Yea Forums also used to be a cave on the internet where people could talk about their opinions and get shit on objectively rather than muh seething incel virgin dilating onions tranny. I imagine a lot of kids who grew up with internet culture found this board through video games, and that sure as fuck didn't help after GG
m8 we're not the same guy though I understand since the format of our post is really similar

Yea Forums is reddit without content or discussion, literally worse than normiecore.
pepe at least is shopped in.
Uh...
Nothing about IQ there.
i understand that i am telling two morons to shut up
stop making this fucking shit board worse
>GG ruined this board beyond all hope of redemption.
I think the worst thing about Gamergate was the fact that there were LEGITIMATE CONCERNS surrounding it and really exposed the lack of journalistic integrity and how shady and stupid gaming journalism is. But a few misogynists and wojack posters had to turn it into a REEEEEEEEE FUCK WOMEN fest and that gave everyone involved the perfect way out, the perfect excuse. "oh, gamergate isn't actually about shady journalistic practices and a lack of disclosure, it's just a bunch of angry white men who hate women!"
We had an opportunity and we failed, but if I'm being realistic, we never had a chance. Nothing would've ever changed. They would've found a new scapegoat, or a new way out. I'm just glad in 2019 people are FINALLY realizing that most gaming journos are full of shit. I hope we keep having stupid, pointless outrage like what we got over Cyberpunk 2077. The more shit we get like that the more their credibility will fall apart.
Imagine being so pathetic you have to argue race studies on a video game board
>discord gets very popular in 2016
>"programmer socks" memes start in /g/ around mid 2016

you retards have said this since /pol/ harbor and now /pol/ have become the most popular and most visited board. What fucking shitty luck
Elections did way more damage. Because now you have little kids that think "l33t hacker anonymous 4channer elected trump with facts and logic"
Not an argument fag
>But a few misogynists and wojack posters had to turn it into a REEEEEEEEE FUCK WOMEN fest
Except that didn't happen at all and you are simply parroting what the media told you to deflect from the fact that it was about corruption in media, there was no actual "harassment" going on and if you were around the time you would know that.
What the fuck are these mental gymnastics?
Either explain how these prove that other races are inferior or fuck off.

I love how these leftards proved my point more and more that they're just triggered retard that doesn't know reality when it spits them in the face. Keep being retarded though, I'm just studying the reaction and outright denial that you're all going through.
B a s a d o
I'd rather have a billion /pol/fags than these fucking weeb trapfags and trannies. Grown ass men crossdressing.
Literally every single site raids this shithole, the neogaf implosion for example had an influx of obvious newfags, it's just the welcoming nature of a site that doesn't care about individual legacy.
Why the fuck do ghazi retards still think that their brand of retarded worldview will somehow take hold here?
I'm a half breed nigger, we do have higher crime rates and the reasons for the higher crime have nothing to do with biology (outside of marginal cases like being genetically predisposed to violence which was once upon a time a useful trait, hence it existing in the 1st place) and everything to do with stewing in a shithole for an entire lifetime and generally having nothing productive to do because your just another nigger to be used as a wageslave, put white people in the same shit situations from birth and watch them make all the same mistakes (I.E Florida in a fucking nutshell).
Biologically white people are at best 3 centuries ahead in the brains departments (because prior to the invention of coffee the layman were mostly alcoholics and spent their evenings killing as many brain cells as they could) solely because white people evolved in an environment that was safe enough and rich enough in exploitable resources to even risk trying anything new.
In time black people will start showing up either with their own distinct version of tau H2 or the caucasian one because thats how evolution works, you adapt to the environment and the thing that survival requires in modern society is that you be smarter.
DNA is nothing more than a blueprint and the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
It's no less pathetic than worshiping some dead faggot like Billy Harrington. At least the based /pol/chad actually post scientific and interesting material to read.
>Now you contradict yourself and say it is NOW used to shock normalfags even though you said it was done so before too.
The function was identical, the intent wasn't.
Like I said, before it was to shit on normalfags in general and doing it for teh lulz, nowadays it's a battlecry to tell everyone you're a Yea Forums man and to more specifically stick it to niggers and SJWs. Now if you call someone out on saying nigger they'll just call you Tumblr/ResetEra/whatever, whereas before they'd just revel at your butthurt regardless of what you were.
>Do you even realize your own cognitive dissonance? Do you seriously...
I feel obliged to tell you that you shouldn't feel compelled to waste time and effort into writing down theatrics as if you were a Roman Senator giving a public oration to an audience, because I'm not going to read that shit if it's not even directed at me or what I actually said.

Uncle Donald, the Great Meme War ended two years ago.
lmao, yeah you are right. i just started browsing Yea Forums yesterday and read an article on rock paper shotgun to bring me up to speed.
faggot, i've been here longer than you have, and i was here for gamergate. i did not say that EVERYONE was doing it, nor did i even imply it was the MAJORITY of people that did it. I said a FEW people did it. I think I read something before that said it was less than 5 percent of people using the hashtag were making death threats or harassing people. Doesn't change the fact that these people used that small percentage as a way to discredit the entire fucking thing.
Posts like yours are why this board is shit, everyone takes a little thing you say and blows it way the fuck out of proportion while making hundreds of assumptions along the way.
That user literally asked for scientific studies on race though.
My disappointment with other human beings gets worse every day

You are missing the point I'm a race realist and yet I don't feel the need too post race iq
differences in a video game board
Because the industry has been on a self destructive disgusting downward spiral since like 2008 and non-zoomers here have been playing games since at least 10 years before then.
Try spending your whole life on a hobby, seeing it hit the absolute peak, then seeing what it is today.
where is brain power thing? normal white vs other races and mixeds
>i did not say that EVERYONE was doing it, nor did i even imply it was the MAJORITY of people that did it
Not everyone, not the majority, not anyone really, you are simply parroting what the media told you about supposed harassment even though there was literally nothing other than random, conveniently censored twitter posts with a grand total of 21 retweets, it's a very common deflection mechanism and you fell for it and started blaming the wrong people, you are the one that fell for little things that the media blew out of proportion, how do you not realize that?
going to test this to see if mods are ass cheeks. If I’m banned this place is shit
You are a faggot
Heritability of intelligence and intelligence and race are entirely difference fields of study, I have no idea why you posted three studies about assortative mating and intelligence.
The fourth is a study about how researchers should categorise racial attributes and the fifth is a fucking news article from a website nobody has ever heard of.
Why the fuck are you posting this shit?
I'll repeat. Race Studies. Video game board.
see >I'd LOVE to see an academic source or any empirical evidence that isn't from some nothing website that has found a correlation between race and intelligence.
The first 4 papers are essentially nothing that proves your point, and is something taught in the first week of genetics classes.
Next, you posted the famous Rushton paper, which has been greatly debunked for poor methodology and bias in actually taking the tests and tabulating results. I'm sure you can bring more papers about that though, right?

and then he got BTFO hard

To spread the /pol/ narrative of course, he can't be wrong if he misleads literally everyone into thinking he's right.
>asks for academic sources on the correlation between race and intelligence
>gets angry when you get academic sources on the correlation between race and intelligence
lol, you'd have a point if it was completely random but both the /pol/ whining and discussion about race were started by you
Thief 2 was better, but CT a close second.
Are you retarded to the core and haven't read my reply chains? The retard insinuates that there's isn't any sort of correlation between race and intelligence and that it is all socioeconomic when the simple fact that intelligence being a genetic factor already put a fucking hole through his argument. The fact that intelligence gap exist between exist races also put a larger bullet hole.
>The first 4 papers are essentially nothing that proves your point
The first 3 papers are just to show how personality and cognitive functions are highly genetic. The rest was to put a basic framework of how genetic, race and intelligence are highly correlated with one another.

there's one thing I don't get among all this screeching
/pol/ is blamed for invading the board after gamergate but when I lurked that board for about a week after it was created, every time video games where mentioned it was hate about them and how they're supposedly corrupting the youth. So why do people think it's them that invaded and flooded Yea Forums with off-topic threads ?
the majority of off-topic threads I see here are mostly about e-celebs, topics of other boards or fapping shit which I doubt /pol/tards post
Dude are you fucking retarded? Like are you actually, legitimately retarded? Is English your second language? In one sentence you say no one did it, then in another sentence you said a few people did it. Then you say it's a very common deflection mechanism.
That's EXACTLY what I said in the first place you brain dead fuck. You are so obsessed with being "right" you tell me I'm wrong even though we both believe the same shit. God, it must be hard living your life being such an absolute stupid fucking monkey
Not played it, is it worth giving a go on an emulator? (Don't have original hardware anymore and CBA finding some)
Dilate lol
>you tell me I'm wrong even though we both believe the same shit
We don't, you are blaming obscure twitter posts instead of the media blowing it out of proportion, you are falling right into the media's hand and saying exactly what they want you to say, actual harassment didn't exist.
>explain that a very small percentage of people were stupid and harassed people and that people who wanted to discredit the movement (the media) took that small percentage of people and blew it out of proportion as an excuse to dismiss all the legitimate claims it was making
>you tell me i'm wrong and parrot my argument back to me in different words
Can't tell if you are retarded or just trolling me at this point.
>news articles by journalists
>linking the telegraph
>another Rushton paper for IQ
Can you please find something substantial? The way heritability is measured is, tot his day, debated between two methods which always end up with missing heritability. To make conclusive statements is actually retarded.
t. actual geneticist
>explain that a very small percentage of people were stupid and harassed people
There was no harassment, obscure twitter posts that could very well be written by falseflaggers is not harassment.
>took that small percentage of people and blew it out of proportion
The media successfully shifted the discussion to supposed harassment that didn't happen, this isn't something they took advantage of but rather something they completely fabricated by themselves.
>you tell me i'm wrong and parrot my argument back to me in different words
I'm not saying the same thing, I'm telling you you have been manipulated by the media and are blaming things that didn't exist instead of discussing the crux of the matter.
Welcome to Yea Forums, you must be new here. People post edgy topics to get easy replies. We call it "bait" here. By entering into a discussion, you're "taking the bait". In short, you're just as pathetic as the people posting bait.
Because of raging faggots like OP.
The fact that you've yet to debunk any of the papers that I've listed and that you have a shoddy understanding of how genetic computing works, me think you're actually a layman or just some low IQ shitposter

Does it fucking matter if it was written by false flaggers or not? My ENTIRE POINT is that they found an excuse to shift the blame away from the actual legitimate concerns the movement was about. Again, you are obsessed with being right so you just decide to split hairs for some unwarranted feeling of self importance.
Do you even have a source to back up your claims that ALL of it was "completely fabricated by themselves" other than DUDE TRUST ME. Is it really so hard for you to believe that a very small minority of angry ass people said some stupid shit to people on Twitter? Is it really so hard for you to believe that calling some dumb SJW an 'ignorant cunt' on Twitter is enough for those people to consider that small insult harassment?
At the end of the day, it doesn't matter. I don't know how many times I need to tell your dumbass this, but my entire point is that the narrative was successfully driven in another direction and the movement failed to change too much of anything, which is a shame. But sure go ahead, if you really want to split hairs even more so you can feel some sense of superiority, go ahead. But just know the faggotry and self-righteousness you and half of this board exude is worse than any resetera trannies, zoomers or /pol/tards making this board shit.
>/pol/ is blamed for invading the board
>about a week after it was created, every time video games were mentioned it was hate about them and how they're supposedly corrupting the youth.
>about a week
Ok so 1st off theres the original motive, 2nd theres no better way to stop "the youth" talking about videogames by getting them off topic and it doesn't matter how you do that, 3rd they just used bait threads other anons were doing and tried "redpilling" the local tards, easy to do on boards that use derigitory terms for blacks and gays because you don't have to hide your hate for them, local tards got in on it and converted to church of /pol/, shitposters got in it and to this day /pol/tards can be found derailing regular threads or at least incompetantly trying.
With every raid/exodus this board got shittier from the rejects that didn't fit in anywhere else and since Yea Forums didnt bother grinding the newfags into shape like it should have it largely gave up and let the faggots run free.
>Do you even have a source to back up your claims that ALL of it was "completely fabricated by themselves" other than DUDE TRUST ME.
Fucking ironic coming from a ghazi.
Yea Forums's okay compared to smaller circle bullies.
>Does it fucking matter if it was written by false flaggers or not?
Yes, it does, you have been completely derailed and blamed boogeymen instead of the corrupt media manipulating you (which is what GG was about to begin with).
>Again, you are obsessed with being right so you just decide to split hairs for some unwarranted feeling of self importance.
I'm correcting you on your fallacies, this is not self-importance.
>At the end of the day, it doesn't matter.
If it doesn't matter then why did you even bring it up and why are you insisting on being wrong?
>but my entire point is that the narrative was successfully driven in another direction and the movement failed to change too much of anything
Because of people like you who fell for the media's narrative.
You are wrong, get over it, take it as a learning experience.

Actual boogieman
Yea Forums needs to learn a thing or two from Yea Forums
>Source: DUDE TRUST ME
>If it doesn't matter then why did you even bring it up and why are you insisting on being wrong?
>deliberately misrepresenting my argument again
You know if you read the rest of my post you would know I said it doesn't matter, because my point and your point are the same. The media shifted the narrative. That was the crux of my argument. Not that gamergate doesn't matter. Of course, I'm sure you knew what I meant by that but you just love arguing pedantics because of your autism.
I mean really, the more you post the dumber you look. Let's break this down. You think the ENTIRE media (you never gave examples as to what specific media companies did this, just generalizing the entire media as a whole) rallied together and created hundreds of fake accounts to harass and target specific individuals and then reported on those fake accounts they created to shift the narrative away and shield a few gaming websites from their lack of journalistic integrity.
You think this is somehow more plausible than a few SJW's seeing some tweets that say "you're a dumb bitch", get their feelings hurt, cry harassment, and get all of their buddies to rally together and defend them, and since they are a loud vocal minority that always appears to have the "moral high ground" the media goes with that narrative instead.
Occam's razor. Until any of you retards provide a source for any of your claims you all just look like some retarded tin-foil hats.
Yea Forums is basically Yea Forums but with better memes, they even have smashfag equivalents as capeshitters
Just because I said we had an opportunity and we failed, doesn't mean i'm blaming GG for GG failing. People successfully diverted the narrative into something else, and now everyone believes GG was nothing but a bunch of angry misogynists who hate women and care too much about video games. Is that not a failure in your eyes? Just because the truth hurts doesn't mean it's not true
>see you utter retard
Where in that post is it explained why the intent behind saying nigger never changed?
>>Now if you call someone out on saying nigger they'll just call you Tumblr/ResetEra/whatever, whereas before they'd just revel at your butthurt regardless of what you were.
>From where I'm standing m8 you're pretty butthurt
You say this, yet the direct next sentence you proceed to ascribe to the former definition by calling me a leftard.
>If it were made today you would be calling it a /pol/tard raid and that they should be banned.
Literally have no proof of this
Yea Forums is actually funny, which is the point of a website like this. There is no point to a board if it isn’t enterteining in some way. Last time I laughed on Yea Forums was during BotW leak because the gameplay leaker couldn’t go past a puzzle and anons started to use paint to show how to surpass it. On Yea Forums there is always at least a fun thread.

>The media shifted the narrative
You did too, see your post entirely blaming "misogynists" and then your reply trying to keep up the false narrative .
>rallied together and created hundreds of fake accounts to harass
What hundreds of fake accounts? There's nothing other than the same few obscure twitter posts and even a billion fake accounts wouldn't qualify as harassment.
You're either extremely naive or a falseflagger, you're retarded either way.
>Is that not a failure in your eyes?
GG was naive and thought that media corruption was localized and other outlets would defend media transparency, but the truth is that journos are a single tribe and all of them rally together and run smear campaigns against anyone that dares to criticize them, which only reinforces the whole corruption thing.
You could say the media won the surface narrative but it was at a great cost for them, anyone who cared now knows how deeply corrupt they are.
Just say you hated GG instead of pretending you cared about it, you are only acting like the same falseflaggers at the time who started wreaking havoc from inside by spreading FUD.
>this was posted in 2013

If you weren't a newfag you would know how much whining there was in 2013, that kind of post was very commonplace.

I wonder why the board is so nihilistic user. I wonder.
Come this with the fact that most trannies are white and mentally ill who also post here and stir up our respective incel crazies, and you have a wonderful board.
It's always cute seeing newfags reposting a pic from a literal Yea Forums tumblr newfag thinking they are in good company and that it makes them "oldfags".
Go eat some dicks pol-tards. Your time is going to end, in here and in front of your screen. What have you even achieved in your life? All your tantrums translate into an impotent rage on the internet because you simply couldn't get laid, pathetic.
>I'm really insecure!
ironic
"The most angry board" may have been true in the old days. I consider Yea Forums to be the gayest board in two ways: literal fags seeking attention on an anonymous image board, fags spouting internet cynicism and ironic shitposting in an attempt to be funny somehow.
Though arguably, ironic shitposting really hurt the entirety of the internet, not just Yea Forums or Yea Forums.
>Yea Forums is funny
Literally how? I go there every once in a while and it's all celebrity bullshit and the same jokes on repeat. What threads should i be looking for
>There are no misogynists on Yea Forums
Oh, shit, you're right. I was totally wrong. Hey, have you heard of this place called /r9k/, by any chance?
>Says there was no harassment, it was completely fabricated
>Then says it was a few obscure twitter posts, but it's not harassment
>Then says I am the one that is shifting my narrative around
Stop projecting. You are tripping over your posts with every reply you make to me. And no shit, a "few obscure twitter posts" doesn't qualify as harassment, that's why I said it's entirely plausible that SJW's saw a few tweets, cried harassment, and had a bunch of people to defend them and the media reported on that. How many times do I have to repeat my position to you, you monkey, before you realize that we both believe the same thing?
You are so triggered over the fact that I said misogynist that you are going on some bullshit tirade against me when we literally believe the same shit at the end of the day. But I guess, maybe next time, I'll have to post a paste bin file explaining all of my positions in excruciating precise detail so I can appease your autism
They aren't mad, just contrarian about absolutely everything ever made.
>we
reddit, this cap is trash
Shouldn't you be reconciling cognitive dissonance instead of posting on Yea Forums?
>Says there was no harassment, it was completely fabricated
Correct.
>Then says it was a few obscure twitter posts, but it's not harassment
Obscure twitter posts are not harassment.
>Then says I am the one that is shifting my narrative around
I never changed my position that there was no harassment.
You know you are wrong so you try to deconstruct some imaginary narrative that was never stated, why can't you stick to facts?
>I said it's entirely plausible that SJW's saw a few tweets, cried harassment, and had a bunch of people to defend them
No, you blamed an angry misogynist minority supposedly eclipsing the movement which is not what happened, the "evidence" of harassment is so vacuous and nonexistent that it could very well be falseflagged by a single person in an evening, that 21 retweet post is all I see actually.
You fell for the media narrative, ironic for someone who is supposedly against it.
>we both believe the same thing?
see You are blaming supposed harassers when in reality you should be blaming the fact that the media is happy to run with a vacuous narrative as long as it serves their interests.
>newfag who doesn't know the history Yea Forums
>Obscure twitter posts are not harassment
No shit, a "few obscure twitter posts" doesn't qualify as harassment, that's why I said it's entirely plausible that SJW's saw a few tweets, cried harassment, and had a bunch of people to defend them and the media reported on that. How many times do I have to repeat my position to you, you monkey, before you realize that we both believe the same thing?
>No, you blamed an angry misogynist minority supposedly eclipsing the movement which is not what happened
I did not say that EVERYONE was doing it, nor did i even imply it was the MAJORITY of people that did it. I said a FEW people did it. I think I read something before that said it was less than 5 percent of people using the hashtag were making death threats or harassing people. Doesn't change the fact that these people used that small percentage as a way to discredit the entire fucking thing.
You know you are wrong so you try to deconstruct some imaginary narrative that was never stated, why can't you stick to facts?
>I said it's entirely plausible that SJW's saw a few tweets, cried harassment, and had a bunch of people to defend them and the media reported on that
That's now what you said at all:
>But a few misogynists and wojack posters had to turn it into a REEEEEEEEE FUCK WOMEN fest and that gave everyone involved the perfect way out
I'm happy that you partially conceded on your position but you don't need to lie about your initial convictions, your first two posts made it clear that you fell for the media narrative and thought that what was lacking in GG was some kind of soul-searching when what happened in reality was an organized smear campaign, it's like saying Todd is actually an angry maniac that breaks into houses to sell you Skyrim because you saw memes with pics of him here and he needs to chill down.
It doesn't matter which "side" you think you are, all that matters is which side is benefited by your actions and so far everything you said only benefits the media you say you are against.
Yea Forums has exposed me to more SJW nonsense than twitter every did. I really feel like leaving this place. This place is too political for my liking.
>GG happens, /pol/ smells an opportunity, moves in
this is a lie
I mean it did happen though. Most of the anger and harassment was directed towards FeministFrequency and Anita Sarkeesian herself. So who really cares, her and her company are fucking cancer, but when you get hundreds of tweets like this, it DOES fit the legal definition of harassment (though it varies slightly from state to state) which is "a course of conduct which annoys, threatens, intimidates, alarms, or puts a person in fear of their safety."
Now I know when you see this you are probably already drafting up your clever and witty greentext reply, saying that I'm changing up the narrative again. I think the majority of "harassment" claims were just a few random tweets calling someone a cunt, and these women wanted their beta orbiters to desperately come to their rescue, so yeah, most of it isn't harassment. However, there are definitely tweets, several of them, that fit the definition. I don't give a fuck about Feminist Frequency or Anita, the world and the gaming world as a whole would truly be a better place if the world doesn't exist, but let's just call a spade a spade.
Just because you don't like the truth doesn't mean it's not true.
/pol/ are the niggers of Yea Forums.
shut up nigger faggot
Notoriously self-loathing, like most of this website.You think even a fraction of them are the chads they worship? Same with video games.
Women and minorities
because it's all bullshit. "the good old days" never existed. Yea Forums was always shit and changing scapegoats every few years won't change that.
You are a coward faggot, try again pseudointellectual nigger.
WOW /pol/ ALMOST DIDN'T SEE YA THERE!
Again you are blaming random unfalsiable twitter posts instead of blaming the fact that such posts can even be used as "evidence" for anything, you fell right into their hands, congratulations retard.
You still failed to realize the whole point of the discussion, you are so dense it makes me think you actually do realize it but must keep on the false narrative for your own interests, you are a dishonest, lying snake.
Okay. Let's see if I can write thing thing before the threads get saged. GG was initially about Zoe and co for the first two weeks of its life. But that all changed less than a day before Adam Baldwin properly termed it #GG. The reason why was this tweet. This image was posted by Anita with the caption: "Usually I don't share the scary stuff but I gotta do this time." Late she claimed to be fleeing her house out of fear. This got a lot of press coverage and a shitload of support from people who then went and watchted her new Tropes vs. Video Games video, Women as Background decorationg (the infamous one with the Hitman Absolution footage that people are still arguing about to this day.) The reaction was mixed, but many who disagreed with the some of the contents of it still found themselves sporting her just in the face of the torrent of online abuse she was facing.
There was only one problem. Blow up the image. Look at the times these tweets were sent. 3 minutes ago, 2 minutes. Last one from 12 fucking seconds ago. Okay, well they were sent to the official femfeq account, Maybe she saw them coming into her feed live and immediately screenshoted them and reported them. But look to the side, she's logged off. And Twitter refreshed their timer on tweets in like the space of 22 seconds. How the fuck did she get these.
And the account's clearly a burner, all tweets are new and all are directed at Anita. And isn't Kevin Dobson just the most typical white guy name possible. Wouldn't whoever did this then immediately make another account and post the same shit. Isn't posted this on twitter just asking for more harrasement. I mean this shit got reported in the media, eventally these tweets even ended up on cable news in segments about gg. And in all mu seaches into this not once did I find the information Anita blacked out, not on Kiwi on ED or any other place. And all this of course resulted in a ton of press and views for Anita and when GG was coined...
TBC
Did you know that the FBI investigated the whole deal and didn't find any leads for supposed death threats? The actual FBI document has a "7 proxies" copypasta.
Contrary to what your moron ass thinks, twitter posts don't actually qualify as harassment.
>this one time a woman got arrested for sending death threats to herself
>therefore, any time a woman is claiming someone is sending death threats, that means its fake
Lol, great line of reasoning. I can tell you are very intelligent
Also,
>posts screenshots showing that people are actually harassing and sending death threats
>also posts the legal definition of harassament
>still trying to argue that I'm wrong
Dude you're fucking funny, lol. Keep responding chump I can do this all day. You're an embarrassment, and you look stupid as fuck
>>this one time a woman got arrested for sending death threats to herself
Not this one time, it happens very frequently and is extremely likely what happened with femfreq, you have a very surface level understanding of the whole deal, you are what they call an useful idiot.
You can read the FBI PDF yourself, the messages are hilariously fake.
>Oh, and I'm also fapping to all of your pictures right now. You're hot. It's a shame you're about to get blown up.
110% chance it was written by herself, no doubt about this, she would go to prison if the FBI bothered looking for concrete evidence.
Why do you faggots insist on discussing things you know nothing about like an authority figure.
>Contrary to what your moron ass thinks, twitter posts don't actually qualify as harassment.
It DOES fit the legal definition of harassment (though it varies slightly from state to state) which is "a course of conduct which annoys, threatens, intimidates, alarms, or puts a person in fear of their safety."
No shit they are fake YOU FUCKING RETARD. That is obviously some bullshit copypasta someone posted to troll them, but because they mentioned a bomb threat, the FBI has to investigate it. Do you think if someone just posts some troll copypasta that includes a bomb threat the cops will no its fake and laugh it off? No you retard, they have to investigate it. It's literally their job. Are you really such a newfag you wouldn't think anons on Yea Forums would troll law enforcement?
The mental gymnastics you guys are going through just to prove there weren't a couple of people doing stupid shit that ruined the whole movement and instead going to such great lengths as a worldwide media conspiracy is fucking hilarious. Holy shit, just fucking deal with it, for fucks sake. You're pathetic
Because Yea Forums is full of white boys and whites are known for being contrarian for the sake of being contrarian.
Yea Forums isn't even bad compared to /g/. Go there and post anything critical of AMD or Thinkpad and prepare your anus for the true autism.
>Anita is right because LOOK AT THE TWITTER POSTS IGNORE THE FACT THAT THE FBI INVESTIGATION LED TO NOTHING AT ALL
lol, literally your whole argument is that X is true because X said so and it doesn't matter if it's actually real or not, it's #metoo-tier retardation
Continued
Now by this point uncle /pol/ had for better or worse become the face of GG discussion, when it was still kinda the the Zoe/Grayson thing. During this time a lot of weird shit was happening and was being blamed on Yea Forums. People were getting hacked/doxxed/all that nasty stuff and people Yea Forums (oddily enough, specifically the Yea Forums board, or Yea Forums lo) were also posting about it happening on Yea Forums before it happened. The problem, Yea Forums felt it was being framed. For instance when Zoe's tumblr and twitter were hacked and she was doxxed someone posted an e-mail adress on 'v' and said that they've hacked Zoe and anything you sent to him/her they'd post. Yea Forums found this suspicious and felt they were being framed and that most likely, due to various other suspicious circumstances around that, that Zoe likely was doing it to herself for attention, but that's almost another story. Same thing with Phil Fish (which always made it odd to me that gg was seen as being misogynistic, unless Fish was always a girl) although I think the hack of him turned out to be unquestionably real at least.
As a result /pol/ was in full Alex Jones, hunkered down conspiracy mode, and came to the conclusion that Anita/one of her associates (likely McIntosh) had sent these to Anita herself, Anita would then post them and the tweets would be immediately deleted. This was presumably done in order to get her name in the press as her Tropes series was experiencing a lull in rating and to get her face associated with the wave of harrasement that was apparently sweeping the video game community. It's not a hard theory to buy into, that Women as Background Detail video is the single highest viewed video on her channel. And the support she got through Patreon/Kickstarter was immense. And then a key part of the GG story as it passed from happening into internet lore was the story of how Anita threats to herself and was caught doing it, making all other threats toward her suspect.
TBC
GG wasn't about Anita at all, she just made it so for attention.
How did you miss that?
...it was clearly an user trolling, and of course these dumb fucks took it seriously, and the FBI has to take it seriously as well. Was it a massive waste of time? Yes. Was it a massive waste of police resources? Yes. Did Anita Sarkeesian spend enough time on Yea Forums to learn all of our lingo and memes (over 9000, 7 proxies, etc) and then draft a fake death threat to get the FBI to investigate....nothing?
You post something like this then act like somehow Anita Sarkeesian got away with the same crime. For fucks sake, I hate her as much as you guys do, but you guys are so blinded with your hate that you are literally dropping my IQ the more I argue with you guys. You all are so dense, have such a lack of understanding of how the world works and would rather believe stupid bullshit that requires you to also believe a ton of assumptions a long the way and you think that is more true than a simple explanation. Really, you guys are all just angry nihilists that think the entire world is out to get them which is why you'd rather believe some convoluted bullshit rather than something simple.
>x is true because x said so and it doesn't matter
>this is harassment because it fits the legal definition of harassament
>"lmao!!!! ur retarded!"
Just because you don't like the truth doesn't mean it's not true
I'm just angry at the board. I just want to talk about video games but you faggots would rather post pepe and wojak all day while spamming COPE BASED SEETHING. If you're not doing that then you're making "subtle" /pol/ threads and e-celeb shit. Eat my ass
see
Never said it was about Anita herself you're literally just seething so hard you are making stuff up
Yea Forums has literally always been like this in one way or another faggot. Lurk more was about getting people to understand this fact instead of pissing and moaning that the boards didn't bend to their expectations.
Continued:
The problem with all this is that none of this is concrete evidence. Unlike Zoe where-in everything she says/ever will say.ever has said is suspect, Anita has always been consistent with her version of the story.
Here's the thing, maybe someone else screenshoted this and then reported it then sent it to Anita, maybe Anita was using an app that took you to another person's page via whatever web browser you had and let you browse your home page without using a browser (hence being logged off), maybe KDobbbz (under different sock-accounts)was sending her threatening messages all night and quickly getting deleted so she quickly screenshotted it the 30th time it happened to prove how serious it was (I mean this guy was allegedly doxxing her fucking parents, I can see why that would trip anyone out)
Plus read the tweets, there's nothing remotely referencing games/gaming culture in there. In fact, all the references to drinking blood and weird shit sound more like a vampire fan. This is also possible, Anita when still focusing on tv had accused one of those shitty teen vampire shows (either True Blood or Vampire Diares I don't really care) or being sexist for having sexy women in it, as she always did, and possibly this is just some deranged vampire tv show fan and this has nothing to do with her feminist video game critiques.
But the issue is that I've just spent a fucking paragraph explaining to you how this is possibly a legit threat when just looking at it closely implies she has done this to herself. I dunno if she did or not, but that long-ass explanation ain't gonna fit in a tweet (where much of the worst of GG took place)
There's more though:
>...it was clearly an user trolling
No, it was likely written by an outsider trying to emulate a channer by using outdated memes even for the time, just the fact that we're having this discussion shows you how weak the supposed threat is.
The very fact that Anita butted in and made it all about herself tells you her intentions, you are trying to argue that Anita was an innocent bystander when simply nothing points to this.
Also it's funny how you abandoned the whole "concerned citizen" guise and is now just straight up shilling for anti-GG, it took a while but at least you are being slightly more honest now.
I've been here since around 2006 or 2007. Started posting more frequently around 2010. It's never been as bad as it is in it's current state.
>I've been here since around 2006 or 2007.
this line is exactly what a newfag would say to attempt to seem legit. not the start, but before it became mainstream.
>no one used the 7 proxies or over 9000 meme in 2013
This is completely retarded.
>you are trying to argue that Anita was an innocent bystander when simply nothing points to this
Never said that, that's an assumption. All you've ever done in this discussion is put words into my mouth. All I said was most of it was directed at her and feminist frequency. The reason most of it was directed to her is because all of Yea Forums hated her for her stupid series and her trying to dig her claws into the gaming industry, so when she reports on GamerGate while ignoring what the entire movement was about, of course people are going to get angry, but some people took it too far.
>Also it's funny how you abandoned the whole "concerned citizen" guise and is now just straight up shilling for anti-GG
Give me ONE...ONE example of where I am 'shilling for anti-GG'. Just because I'm bringing up some facts and opinions you don't agree with doesn't mean I'm 'anti-GG'. You are just standing on very shaky ground and have nothing to fall back on, so you are trying to paint me as an enemy or a shill so you can use that argument to discredit me since you are incapable of doing it in any other way. You're sad
>>this is harassment because it fits the legal definition of harassament
The FBI investigated it, found no evidence of wrongdoing, closed the case, how does that fit the legal definition of harassment? Can you post the judge's decision on the case?
This, pol wasn't shit until around 2015
Get fucked.
I'm just doing my duty, faggot. You're the outsider here.
We do but they decided what was and was not appropriate board culture since like 2012 and it's been real shit ever since.
>but some people took it too far.
Source?
>Give me ONE...ONE example of where I am 'shilling for anti-GG'
You haven't posted a single pro-GG thing yet despite saying you are supposedly in favor of its message.
>Just because I'm bringing up some facts and opinions you don't agree with doesn't mean I'm 'anti-GG'.
If you only post anti-GG stuff then yes you are by definition anti-GG.
>You are just standing on very shaky ground and have nothing to fall back on
Funny coming from someone who unironically posted two tweets as proof of "legal harassment", you either clearly don't know what the fuck even happened at all or you are straight up a falseflagger.
>But a few misogynists and wojack posters had to turn it into a REEEEEEEEE FUCK WOMEN fest
still convinced that those were shit posters/journo fags because every time they went a little crazy the whole threads would condem them. Didn't stop mods from using it as a reason to bad any mention of it at all.
m8, your laughably pathetic attempt at disguising yourself as another retarded gamerghazi is so transparent. Not only have you failed to provide proof of actual fucking harassment as per judicial results but also twist that GG was somehow this misogynist hate cult that only hate wymyn when that has not been the case anywhere at anytime.
Faggot
Continued, hopefully the final part:
You see after finding this I started to come to the conclusion that perhaps Anita really wasn't harassing herself, she just had no idea what optics looked like, she didn't know that to the growing GG movement on twitter, here and reddit that it looked like she'd harassed herself. It's possible she didn't know that Zoe was also accused of hacking herself and doing tons of weird shit, but again that' another story. When GG kicked off these tweets were infamously used on some cable news outlet of proof of the glut of harassment facing these women and somewhere along the way someone had photosoped #GG to the end of them despite the fact that #GG didn't exist as a term until a day after Anita posted this shit and long after KDobbbsz posted it. But that wasn't Anita doing that, that was a shitty news outlet trying make a story have some more pizzazz (didn't help the increasingly isolated GG and their increasingly hardening, fake-news, reality tunnel). Even though Zoe's full of shit and Wu is legit crazy and loads of the stuff that's been accused of them is likely true, it seemed that Anita might be on the level, doesn't mean I agree with her videos but unlike the other two she possibly really did feel threatened by the internet's bombardment of her and didn't get why any of it looked suspicious.
But then I found the mother lode. Ground Zero of Anita's harassement. And it started here on this very board 8 years ago, before Zoe, before the Fappening, before /pol/ rose up, before Trump. And here it is:
Some with a unique tripcode calling themselves Anita posted a thread on Yea Forums advertising her Tropes vs. Video Games kickstarter. While it's partially cut off in the image the project was well under it's projected $6000 goal. Yea Forums's reaction was exactly what you'd expect Yea Forums's reaction to be, mocking derision. Who needs 6 grand to bitch about how sexist games are on youtube?
TBC
Rageface was based, Nu-/pol/is just cringe
Is it time bros?
>it's another revisionist history thread
>Who needs 6 grand to bitch about how sexist games are on youtube?
We were right then and it's still right now. Also shame on you for not mentioning how that was also during a big 'E CELEBS AREN'T VIDEO GAMES' moment on Yea Forums and Anita threads were getting pretty regularly deleted.
>Yea Forums
>have you ever been too Yea Forums
>its impotent beta rage incarnate
then what is the true history of Yea Forums?
The FBI investigated bomb threats retard, not harassment. Stop being stupid.
>Source?
You already have the source, you mentioned it at the bottom of your comment.
>You haven't posted a single pro-GG thing yet despite saying you are supposedly in favor of its message.
>I think the worst thing about Gamergate was the fact that there were LEGITIMATE CONCERNS surrounding it and really exposed the lack of journalistic integrity and how shady and stupid gaming journalism is.
>they found an excuse to shift the blame away from the actual legitimate concerns the movement was about.
How many times are you going to misrepresent my argument or deliberately ignore previous things I've posted?
>If you only post anti-GG stuff
Nah, just mentioning shit you don't like and it sent you into a fit of autistic rage
>unny coming from someone who unironically posted two tweets as proof of "legal harassment"
Care to explain to me how tweeting to someone that they want to stab you in the skull, raping someone with a chainsaw, or saying they will come to their house tonight and rape them is not "a course of conduct which annoys, threatens, intimidates, alarms, or puts a person in fear of their safety."?
>still convinced that those people were shit posters
Lol yeah, that's what I've been saying, but apparently that very idea is super triggering to people in this thread and they'd rather believe it's some far flung conspiracy to discredit GG.
posting on an anonymous image board as someone else isn't really far flung
>It's always
go back to twitter and reddit dumb nigro
Continued, lol this will hopeful be the final part.
But, of course, it's Yea Forums. Anyone can post anything and there is often a diversity of opinion, if said in the least-PC way possible. Some people even seem fairly supportive of the idea of the series. However while this thread was going on a glut of apparently sexist and harassing comments suddenly bombarded the kickstarter page. And then her Wikipedia page was vandalised, I think there was more but I can't remember it off the top of my head.
But then this became a huge news story. I remember first hearing about it from Jim Sterling, who I think was one of the first ones to cover it, but it ended up blowing up. Real news sites, not just gaming ones, were covering this hideous harassment this poor woman had received. This lead to a massive outpouring of public sympathy and her kickstarter becoming a monster susses raising over $200,000 for femfreq and the eye's of the world on Anita. Many were dissapointed with the final results in the end and there were also rumours for a long time that it was a scam and that she'd taken the money and run. This was really because she took fucking ages to get a single video out and after that her video output incredibly slow and rather minimal. I mean, it took her from 2012 to 2017 to make the amount of content someone like superbunnyhop makes in 4 months.
Also, I don't have any screenshots of the harassing comments from her kickstarter as they were almost immediately disabled along with comments on all her other videos so heres an image from Tetsuo 2.'
The problem was the thread I posted. The reason why Anita had gained Yea Forums's attention was because someone was trying to gain Yea Forums's attention. Now it looks like Anita from a distance, but if you read the thread I posted carefully this person claims not to be Anita. Of course they could be lying. Apparently said tripfag was spotted in several Buffy threads on Yea Forums before and after this...
TBC
>The FBI investigated bomb threats retard, not harassment. Stop being stupid.
Did the police investigate the supposed harassment? If they didn't then isn't that another point against your narrative?
Do you see the problem here? You insist on this harassment narrative despite the very weak to nonexistent evidence supporting it, this isn't a matter of sides but rather a matter of not blindly believing something without proof, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
>Nah, just mentioning shit you don't like and it sent you into a fit of autistic rage
The fact that you dove headfirst in this weak narrative shows your true intentions, you can't say you are X if you always act like Y instead.
>Care to explain to me how tweeting to someone that they want to stab you in the skull, raping someone with a chainsaw, or saying they will come to their house tonight and rape them
See and the rest of the reply chain.
Legally speaking, you would have a very hard time and would need far more than obscure angry twitter posts to justify your position.
>Doesn't mention the sperg trannies
I wonder why?
Why do you think Anita didn't ask to open a case against harassment and instead used the opportunity to shill for her Kickstarter? Oddly convenient, isn't it?
>If they didn't then isn't that another point against your narrative?
No. The only reason I posted that is because you (or another user, not really sure anymore) said it wasn't harassment. I only posted that to prove to him that it IS harassment, if you go by the legal definition of it.
>without proof, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
I am providing proof, you just don't like it and think it's better to write it off as 'oh it's not harassment' because you are way too far into the argument to admit defeat now.
>you can't say you are X if you always act like Y instead.
The world isn't purely black and white. The world isn't binary. Sometimes there is a grey area. I can acknowledge a movement, and agree with it's core tenants, while simultaneously acknowledging that a small minority of people ruined it for the rest of us. Maybe when you grow up you'll grow out of that immature mindset.
Won't bother acknowledging the last part of your post considering I am not trying to make the argument that these people were, or should, be prosecuted for their tweets. The only reason I brought it up is because you seem to insist that it's not harassment, which is laughable, you just don't want to acknowledge any of the bad parts about GG because you want people to focus on what it was really about. I get where you are coming from, I want it to be about that too, but let's not forget you (or the other user, not sure anymore) were the one that diverted my original post into this retarded diatribe because you got mad i said the word 'misognyist'
2 weeks until ax
Continued.
Now Buffy is one of Anita's favourite shows but it wouldn't be too hard a stretch yo assume an Anita fan (pre video games) would also be a massive Buffy fan. The problem is that it's still so suspicious. It doesn't seem like the tripfag 'Anita' is trolling or intentionally trying to rile up Yea Forums. Sure this might just be some of the greatest bait in Yea Forums history, being as we're still arguing about this shit years later, but the tripfag seems to be legitimately promoting the kickstarter.
Might this be Anita herself, might this be Jonathan McIntosh, the producer/writer of femfreq during its most controversial and popular years, might this be an Anita fan who just wanted to promote a feminist critique of video games? Maybe. Maybe it's some of the greatest bait in internet history too. It's impossible to tell. Yea Forums's reaction (which I can't find a screenshot of right now but if I I'll post it) was hilarious. Everyone was angry at the morons who had come from Yea Forums and had given Anita shit, they weren't pleased or even laughing about the behaviour because it was clear that in trolling her, Anita had made far more money and received far more attention than she would have had they not.
Either way this started the Anita rumour mill, that she was intentionally going onto Yea Forums in order to invite trolling which she could then turn into a big news story, exposure and more sympathy funding. Of course due to the nature of this site facts tend to slide over the years, get exaggerated, rumours become facts and shit gets muddled. By the time the Zoe scandal started most people had forgotten about Anita visiting here and those that hadn't had become convinced, even before Zoe, that this chick was doing it to herself.
I'm not so sure, I think it's entirely possible that tripfag Anita may have been the real Anita. But I think it's possible that she has no idea how the internet works and what this shit looks like.

It's not, don't try to play backseat lawyer.
> I am not trying to make the argument that these people were, or should, be prosecuted for their tweets.
If you don't think so then that by definition means you don't think it's legal harassment, you are contradicting yourself.
>you just don't want to acknowledge any of the bad parts about GG because you want people to focus on what it was really about.
You are refusing to acknowledge that the supported bad parts were clearly fabricated, like the emails.
>were the one that diverted my original post into this retarded diatribe because you got mad i said the word 'misognyist'
You already tried this angle before, I ignored it because it's an untruthful strawman.
Why are you so vehemently believing her tenuous narrative? You said a couple of times before you don't like Anita so why are you automatically agreeing with everything she said?
>"calling everyone niggers and fags was ironic"!
but it was ironic, you giga nigga
Continued:
Or maybe she's some feminist Machiavelli, a trail-blazer in channelling death/rape threats via twitter into fame and fortune. Personally I think it's probably the former, she genuinely believes in what she's doing and is just a bit thick when it comes to how the internet actually works. Why else would she come to fucking Yea Forums, possibly, to promote a feminist kickstarter? Why else would she post threats from deleted accounts who's last post was only 12 seconds ago? I think Anita may in fact be just a bit a moron when it comes to the internet, but it is undeniable that she had a good business sense and was able to promote herself and receive tons of money via it.
Problem is that this all does look suspicious and given what happened with Zoe and later Brianna, many people on the GG side of the fence refused to give her the benefit of the doubt. Plus GG quickly spiralled into culture-war/anti-feminism nonsense once it got properly started. Part of it was due to Anita becoming the face of harassment in gaming right as GG was coined because her mug was put as header image in loads of those 'gamers are dead/over' articles. In making Anita the focus it caused much of the backlash against Anita to become part of the GG thing (the initial Zoe thing was actually different and still a complete clusterfuck of strangeness) and much of that included the growing anti-feminist movement, the skeptics, MRAs, Davis Aurini and more, and while none of those are necessarily misogynistic (other than 'all women are whores" Aurini) there is a cross-over between those groups and the the people who send random feminists rape threats on twitter.
I think one of the biggest problems (and feminists would say this is victim-blaming but I don't give a fuck) was Anita's position on the internet itself. There are no comments on her videos, no feedback via her twitter, when doing a public appearance questions have to be vetted beforehand.
TBC
it literally never was any more ironic than it is today.
>Everyone was angry at the morons who had come from Yea Forums and had given Anita shit, they weren't pleased or even laughing about the behaviour because it was clear that in trolling her, Anita had made far more money and received far more attention than she would have had they not.
This is why i don't really believe in the harassment claims to be legit.
Not only did i not see anything that would warrant actual attention (out of the ordinary that most popular online creators get) but she didn't even seem that phased about it.
This is Yea Forums we are talking about here.
The Yea Forums that would make life so miserable that entire businesses would close down from harassment.
The Yea Forums that would make people go to jail, not just by publicising crime but by driving the person to commit the crime through harassment.
The Yea Forums that would split families and ruin lives forever.
Why didn't we see anything real? Why didn't we see anything happen in real life as usual? In fact it was all the public GGer's that received dead animals in the post, and not the other way around. I know for a fact if they did, we would have seen it in the media by now.
political infighting with both sides is what made Yea Forums even more shit now a days
Ive only ever been banned on this board. Thats where youre wrong pal.
>It's not, don't try to play backseat lawyer.
I like how you don't even try to back up anything you say, you just go 'No!' like you are right. Is that really the best you can come up with?
>If you don't think so then that by definition means you don't think it's legal harassment, you are contradicting yourself.
Want to hear something crazy? I can have a personal opinion, and a legal opinion. Do I really believe anyone that tweeted those things were seriously going to harm her? Does it fit the legal definition of harassment? Without a doubt. Would it make sense to go through the trouble of contacting Twitter, trying to grab the IP from that account, then sending a police force across the country to arrest someone for a tiny misdemeanor? No. The only reason I brought it up is because you said it's not harassment, even though you have never brought up any proof or evidence to back up your claim, it's just an opinion you pulled from your ass which you believe is factual.
>I ignored it because it's an untruthful strawman.
I don't think you know what that word means, lol. You quoted that EXACT part of my post and said it didn't happen at all. You obviously got triggered over one sentence of my entire original paragraph, which is how we've got to this point. You are not only stupid but insanely naive.
>You said a couple of times before you don't like Anita so why are you automatically agreeing with everything she said?
Can you stop with the fucking assumptions already please? That is literally all you do. That is literally all you fucking do. Just because I mentioned the simple fact that, yes, some people sent death threats, yes, some people were harassing people on Twitter does not suddenly mean I am sucking Anita's cock and am siding with everything she said.
Facts don't care about your feelings libtard. It happened. Get the fuck over it. Stop arguing. You have provided absolutely 0 proof for anything you say, and you are not going to.
>I like how you don't even try to back up anything you say, you just go 'No!' like you are right. Is that really the best you can come up with?
Not him but it's ironic that you bring this up when there's no criminal charges to be seen in any of the debacle that happened.
Continued, wow I really was not meaning to write a wall of text but I did. This will be the final part.
...This was theorised by many on the GG side as being proof that she was hiding from criticism and that she never would answer a straight question because it might expose her. But really I think she might have just insulated herself from everything that was being said about her, meaning that the only shit that managed to actually get through to her were the threats and the praise from the press.
That being said I do think Jonathan McIntosh may have been part of it. Ever since he left about halfway through the Women vs Games series, Anita's views have been going down. And you after he left you heard less and less from the press or her own twitter about her harassement. Now she only gets a little over a 1000 views per vid. I think he was likely very crucial in making the threats and trolling a key part of the story and maybe was the one who knew how to monetise it.
That all being said Anita did face real threats and harassment on top of all this. While GGers will claim that the FBI found no credible threats were sent it still sucks being the most hated woman on the internet and having to cancel gigs before the organisers can figure out whether this bomb threats legit or not. And unlike Zoe or Brianna where it's clear that they're lying/deranged about everything, I think Anita might have just been in a bubble and unaware that what she was doing looked like a false flag.
But it was the Zoe scandal that created GG and there's reason why the places that are left discussing it all sound so deranged and almost Alex Jones-like, With Zoe what was reported in the press (and eventually recorded into history as the truth on wikipedia) and what was actually happening were two different universes entirely.
I remember being anrgy is a thing back in the past.
The real problem was when the "i was only pretending to be retarded" and "obvious bait" memes started being posted.
Back before those days epic trolls were looked upon like gods, mocking the seriousness of the rest of the internet. The biggest threads were the most outrageous trolls.
But people gradually turned on the trolls, making memes that mocked their efforts instead of congratulating them. People started trying to take things on Yea Forums seriously (the influx of reddit) and were angered by the trolls for being retarded and not serious.
Now the easiest way to get a big thread going is to post something controversial because everything is taken seriously and that's why Yea Forums has been angry for almost a decade now.
have sex, incel.
Yea Forums always has been obesses with faggots unironically or ironically
Read my post before responding, retard
>Is that really the best you can come up with?
Saying something is true doesn't automatically means it's true, you didn't post a single thing that actually qualifies as harassment.
No, random twitter posts won't pass as harassment in any court, do you have even a single case of this happening?
We're still waiting on that proof you unironic retard. Where's that actual case of harassment and bombing?
>cant even photoshop well
Read my next post: I argue that it's possible that Anita is just a dummy where it comes to the internet and didn't know how it looked/was possibly a Machiavellian genius who was able to turn harassment into profit. I would argue that her current view count tends to imply to former rather than the later but who knows. Again I really get the feeling that if anyone was intentionally trying to rile up the internet it was probably McIntosh.
As there is no concrete evidence that Anita harassed/invited harassment upon herself it made the GG discussion that much harder. Early on many people who weren't aware of what was actually going on dismissed the Zoe stuff as bonkers conspiracy/route misogyny hiding behind 'ethics in journalism' as an excuse. The truth was far different in that case, but due to the nature of memes, internet lore and rumour, and the fact that not outlet (including Breitbart) reported on it properly, the GG version of history also became warped and fictionalised. But when the Zoe thing was going on we had fairly good evidence of wrong-doing, corruption, mental illness, and general insanity. When focus shifted to Anita, right as GG was being coined and turning into the stupid circle-jerk it still is to this day, we had nothing definitive. We had a suspicious tweet and a weird Yea Forums thread from 2 years ago. And due to her trolling becoming such a huge news story for so many years, it automatically attracted more trolls to harass her, because who knows, their rape threat might get on tv.
Eh, at least I got a (You)
The angles and lighting are decent which is funny and shows that he actually wanted to pass it off as real to kill memes he doesn't like, the seethe knows no bounds.
Now you have nurageface fags posting it even though the original pic has ragefaces.
I guess the only proof is that Yea Forums didn't commit to harassing either of them, lmao.
I guess that is good, but it is bad because Yea Forums/gg was blamed as if they had anyway.
This. Trolling is dead because the most normal/vanilla opinions are controversial, and the most outrageous opinions are normalized. Liking things is radical.
I felt bad because it looks like you actually put effort into your wall of text so I'm giving you a (You). All joking aside your posts were interesting. The big reason why GG took off in Yea Forums was because the mods did the dumbest fucking thing they could've done. They censored and deleted discussion about Zoe. And as a result of this, threads about this got made in /pol/ and it got THEIR attention because it was apparent that censorship was happening in the site. That's the Streisand effect for ya.
I don't give a shit about the troons that threatened on twitter but you cannot genuinely believe that Yea Forums showed restraint in responding to these people
And they showed no restraint diving into the shitshow and boldfacedly running a smear campaign against it so what's your point?
Plus certain figures like Milo only posted pictures of the syringes he'd recieved in the mail. By the time he called the police he'd apparently thrown them out which arguably leads to some suspicion on his part. On the other hand it was more convincing than Zoe fleeing he home because people on the internet were being mean to her.
The problem is that Anita got lumped in with Zoe and Wu and in many circles became almost interchangeable with one another, with their worst aspects creating a kind of hyper-feminist/crybully/mentally ill/master manipulator, while the other side combined them together to create a kind of internet feminist martyr whose only crime was being a woman on the internet. Both of these takes were and are nonsense, but in the case of Zoe there's definitely some truth to it. With Wu it's easier if you just realise that she's fucking insane. But with Anita I genuinely think that she might have been kinda innocent if a bit stupid were it came to the internet. Part of it's her own damn fault but GG's focus on her means any discussion of it usually focuses on Anita and why she was this feminist youtuber was so horribly harassed by the gaming community for being a woman, sending rape threats under some excuse of it being about ethics.
