The main problem i have is sites ie: GB, are refusing to report on both sides. GB had the chance to go inbetween, but instead its the same anti-GG stuff that does not help. Both Wu and Anita have recived death threats, that is AWFUL (capping this because some people wont like what im gonna say next) It is downright fucking shameful that people like, small example, Milo (Who has been on the end of horrible homophobic threats/sent a fucking syringe full of bleach i believe) Boogie (Fat shamed/threats) Totalbiscuit (mocked for having cancer) have not been given the same reporting as the others. Anita/Wu got an article about this, Why not mention TB? Or Boogie? No matter what you think of their politics/stance on all this, they are people too. That has been forgotten on both sides of this.

You ask me what i want from all this?

All of it to be covered and fairly. Don't hide behind your relationships because you are afraid of pissing your friends off.

This is a god damned circus on both sides of the fence. Both pro-gg and anti-gg people are throwing around misinformation, harassment, and giving off a stink that is not healthy. Grand, sweeping generalizations from both crowds are inane and ludicrous. Both sides are getting doxxed, both sides are getting harassed, both sides are receiving veiled (and not so veiled) threats like Milo receiving a syringe filled with something in the mail.

To sit on one side and point at the others as the "evil doers" without looking at the atrocities done from your own group is short sighted.

@originalyellow: Because gamergate started as harassment.

I'm posting this here: The story of gamergate

It explains the origins of gamergate. I'm off for today. Bye.

Except that link is a hatchet job

ZQ took select parts of the Burgers and Fries logs and spun it to match her story

Its criminal that Markiplier is not as popular as him as he is about 100 times funnier

Same with Game Grumps. They have a shit-ton of subscribers but nothing on the level of Pew

I'll add my voice to this:

The heavy-handed moderation needs to stop. This isn't just about what's happening now--I had it out with Rorie in PMs a while back about this, and now it's just becoming absurd. I can't even talk about the details about the most major story happening in gaming news because someone might accidentally misogyny. Entire threads are getting blown away where 99% of the discussion had nothing to do with what is happening. Fucking ridiculous.

I don't see the point in engaging in discussion in this environment. Posts are getting vaporized and the mods haven't even bothered to explain themselves with a simple sticky.

Thank you!

This is what i was trying to say last night but was waaaay too tired to make the point coherently.

It feels like a police state sometimes, i get the mods have a tough job. I was a mod for years on different forums and its a thankless job. But its being taken too far here and i don't see it changing soon. Not all news threads are going to kick off with misogyny/racism.

You want a reason Sweep?

Posts being deleted that are not even REMOTELY disruptive and i was playing it mostly for laughs tbh. This forum used to be fun, you could actually criticise things with being called out on being "a trouble maker/trying to troll" now its full of people saying everything is great because mods decide what is and is not suitable and delete what they like killing any interesting conversations before they get interesting.

Before someones jumps on me im not saying that we should put up with sexism/racism so don't be stupid yeah?
