Kind of hilarious to try and make people think it was RVF who started the boycotts. Hard to believe they could be that stupid.

At this point they're closing their eyes and swinging at anything remotely 'against' them. I'm surprised they haven't managed to tie the Tea Party and Westboro Baptist into this somehow.

It is hilarious to see Gawker play the role of moral crusader and then act like butthurt little bitches when their tactics get used on them. They're just Perez Hilton minus drawing jizz on pictures of celebs.

RE: RVF is being blamed for Gawker losing advertisers
It still blows my mind that the trust fund dummies that make up the Gawker editorial staff think they can actively hurt people and practice "journalism" without any ethics or integrity, and then turn around and pretend that they have ANY credibility to criticize others, or play at having a moral conscience.

For the record, I don't play video games, I don't care about Zoe Quinn's sex life and I don't feel the need or desire to participate in any sort of online harassment campaign against her or anybody else. But damn, now that this has reached Stage 3 Culture War fight, I hope Gawker continues to lose $ and what's left of their shitty reputation as a side effect of this controversy:

RE: RVF is being blamed for Gawker losing advertisers
I think it would be a telling sign if and when the mainstream media starts reporting the results and history of GamerGate in an objective manner, without any implications of prejudice as the motivation of the movement.

It would be telling because it would be a preemptive move on their part, acknowledging, without announcing, how they are just as vulnerable and complicit to the same standards that are being attacked by those involved in GamerGate.

If this begins, it should not merely be taken at face value as a seeming victory for those intent on dislodging practitioners of moral bigotry from their positions of influence. It would be a testament to their former unspoken collusion. It would be a move to deflect and then dissipate any momentum at that point, attempting to distance themselves to avoid the same fate of their less influential peers.

RE: RVF is being blamed for Gawker losing advertisers
Liberals have shown time and time again that when a group of them are exposed for what they are, they will completely reject them and burn them with even more zeal than what's normally reserved for others.

The reason is because they don't want to be found out also.

If we keep pushing, the news journalists from bigger outlets will throw these guys under the bus hard so they can show how they DO have integrity.

The rvf internet sleuths have got to keep digging up the dirt on these writes while we still can because everyone just realized they are going to be accountable for things they've said in the past like never before.

I also don't want to be a party pooper but even if gawker is destroyed another entity will spring up with a fresh crop of sjws and we'll have to keep fighting them too.

Wow! This guy used to dis Roosh and the manosphere before, but now he's looked into it more and seems to have come to his senses. Good article.

Also contains this brilliant quote from George Orwell:

George Orwell Wrote:"Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power."

I found that article to be a bit of a trainwreck, though it eventually rerails and arrives at some good points late in the article.

I don't think you could create a more formidable opponent than gamers.

Remember the article about online gamers solving science problems?

The only problem is pulling them out of a WoW raid and diverting their attention to a legitimate real-life enemy. Fortunately, the SJWs pushed the right combinations of buttons.

If you could consistently organize gamers against SJWs, it would be like having the world's nuclear arsenal on your side.

The SJW's in the media are similar enough in attitude and response to have been deliberately-indoctrinated. It's time to investigate the sources, and study where they were educated, and by whom.

It should be easy enough for any researchers to start browsing the public resumes of these writers, and note the university commonalities between these them, not only down to an individual school level, but to an specific handful of academics shaping the new breed of smug clickbait journalist.

Since we live in a post-industrial society, where information is the new currency, it should also be easy enough to show that this new breed of ideology-first! / apply critical theory to everything! journalist is destructive to advertisers in a way that is anti-free market.

I'd make a clear argument that information filtered through a bias only aimed at tearing down existing power structures is alienating to the mass of readers who don't want to be told they're bad people for simply existing in ANY field - these same SJW's have infiltrated Science Fiction, Comics and Music, all industries with, coincidentally?, falling sales - and is also threatening to advertisers, who can easily be subject to the same critical theory if they don't lockstep to ideology, even if it hurts their business.

If you have the skills, start digging. It might be interesting to look at the political histories of the academics.

I mean, you're dealing with people who have spent years being able to focus on a task and see it through to completion no matter what difficulty, with the ability to commit incredible amounts of time grinding in order to improve their digital avatars.

If you needed an army to commit long-term digital warfare with, you could do a lot worse than gamers. Those guys are devoted.

I think you're on to something here Veloce. Reminds me of the Doctorow book "For the Win". Gamers unionize and take down the big corporations that run games like WoW. Gamers are smart as well as focussed, so they would only take on a target if it made sense. They didn't care about SJW before gamergate.

Vox Media will be the next target. I think they'll be much harder to punish. I'm not sure what comes after that. I imagine the gamers will be slowing down by that point, having driven out the SJWs as far as it matters to them. New sites will have sprung up or moved in to address the market void that has appeared. The question is, will anyone else follow their example and take up the cause? Probably no one, but who knows?

What stops the SJW from simply regrouping under another name if gawker and vox falls?

Nothing, but those are two of their more powerful weapons right now. And if the gaming media is diversified, their ability to infiltrate and dominate will be greatly diminished.

The other problem, of course, is that Vox and Gawker aren't the source of SJWs. I'm not 100% sure where they are coming from but academic feminism seems the most likely.

The SJW modus operandi comes from young feminists who use Tumblr, which is now the cutting edge of the movement. The SJW demographic base is bored, depressed 16-22 year old girls, not academics. Feminists in academia and the traditional media have natural checks and balances against the most crazy of their tactics due to the platforms they operate on. Those limits don't exist on Tumblr so the nutcase witch hunt mentality is able to spiral out of control, fueled by their youthful rage. That said, most teenage girls on Tumblr aren't feminists, it's just the nature of the platform attracts the introverted, socially awkward and anxious young women who are more likely to be feminists.

Unfortunately this means it's very difficult to destroy them at their root, since Tumblr is a hugely popular "blogging" website of which feminists are only a small part, and it doesn't rely on ad revenues. The only option is to flood feminist tags on tumblr with gore/porn like Anonymous did earlier this year, but that's not sustainable over a long period of time.

Yup. De-facto part of the hipster neckbeard celebratory lingo at this stage, alongside cringeworthy crap like "all kinds of awesome" .
