Forum is experiencing some heavy traffic. I investigated and found this comment:



It was posted on the editor's admission that they are getting royally fucked by #gamergate:

Quote:he self congratulatory gawker masturbation fest in the comments is some extraordinary hugbox shit. you guys are assholes - you got caught out, and now you are paying for it. welcome to the real world, dipshits. nobody cares about the plight of the common reporter, because you reek of privilege.

while gamergate sort of sucks, you guys are ten times worse with your blatant hypocrisy and inability to function as reporters - either accept the mantle of increased social responsibility that goes along with being part of the media, or don't and lose any ethical superiority you might have had. you can not have it both ways.

i am glad you are losing sponsors and lots of money. gawker is awful, and will always be awful as long as you don't realize that hey, maybe the fact that you were compelled to apologize repeatedly means that YOU did something wrong, and that it's not the rest of the world that is at fault.

Roosh didn't quote the best part.

"Transparent and documented though it was, the obsessive campaign worked. Mercedes-Benz—listed on the site as a former partner, and therefore a target—briefly paused its ads on a network that serves ads to Gawker. I've been told that we've lost thousands of dollars already, and could potentially lose thousands more, if not millions."


So you guys managed to cost Gawker thousands, if not millions, of dollars. Nice job.

It's like watching the turning point in some huge war. This is great.

This is excellent.

Time for these SJWs to taste some of their own medicine.

That's what you get when you are not professional in a public setting (the entire internet). What kind of idiots would post those kind of tweets without thinking there would be repercussions. I'm not following this "gamer gate" thing at all, but it appears the people that are trying to fight against it are retards, which would lead me to believe they're not going to get far.

The anti-GG crowd thought it be a brilliant idea to respond to the claims that game media is crooked and colluding with each other by having several different sites post 10 "gamers are dead" articles on the same day.

If for no other reason, advertisers will be part with them just by how incompetent they are at handling PR.

Good. Gawker is one of the many SJW supporting sites that follow the mainstream narrative. Keep it coming Roosh!

It's funny because Gamers aren't going anywhere. If anything, video game journalism; like all other types is dying. Why read a video game journalists article when I can just watch the trailers, developer videos, demos, etc on youtube?

Someone on the Gawker post wanted to rally some folks to open accounts here and troll the RVF.

Little do they know that one can only register on the 1st.

If you have any dirt on Wil Wheaton, please share. He seems to be a fan of bullying men with slurs, the same thing that got Gawker in trouble.

Precisely, and game companies have started to cut out the middle man altogether like Nintendo has with their "Nintendo Direct" online presentations.

GG or not, these cock suckers' days are numbered.

I say good riddance. I remember all of the articles that were genuinely about games and the features. Nowadays, it's social justice shit and feminism. Good riddance to all those parrots.

Quote:Let me put up a phrase here, since you guys are so fond of using it, "cultural appropriation".

First, I do agree that #Gamergate has been blown way out of proportion, and the trolls' techniques, harassment, threats, bullying is contemptible. But given all of that, most of you media, you feminists are not some shining examples of virtue either. For years, gamers were more of an underground thing. They were the extreme nerds, and everyone made fun of them. They were the pimply faced man childs who lived in their mom's basements. And they were a constant source of ridicule for the wider mainstream media. Especially feminists. They were people to be laughed at.

Now, today however "gaming" is mainstream. And yes, the mom who spams Candy Crush requests on facebook is also supposedly a gamer. And so, you guys have appropriated their gamer culture, and now demand entrance. What the fuck? Why is this not cultural appropriation? You guys stood by, laughed and pointed fingers at them a few years back, and nobody spoke up for them. And now you guys all suddenly want to be gamers? You demand ownership of a cult(ure) which you ridiculed less than a decade back? And you guys then get outraged when these gamers get angry? You want to understand what is cultural appropriation? Look in the damn mirror.

This is glorious.

We should have done this a long time ago.

Also, I don't see anything on RVF about emailing them. I thought it was just a Twitter thing, but maybe it's hiding somewhere in the forum. Honestly, I never followed Gamergate, but I love the idea of all of Gawker's crimes against society finally having repercussions.

I figured they had gotten plenty of emails concerning bullying, so I sent a different aspect:

I wonder how the hell they managed to pin this on RVF and not, say, KiA or 8chan. You know, the forums designated for GG discussion.

"Intel surrendered to the worst kind of dishonesty, and we allowed it to do so without ever calling it out. So let's say it now: Intel is run by craven idiots. It employs pusillanimous morons. It lacks integrity. It folded to misogynists and bigots who objected to a woman who had done nothing more than write a piece claiming a place in the world of video games. And even when confronted with its own thoughtlessness and irresponsibility, it could not properly right its wrongs."

So first these SJWs insult gamers to their face and now they are insulting their advertisers, the very people who provide them with an income? This is what happens when you let petulant trust fund kids write for you as opposed to hiring professionals.

Post: #23

Wait, we had a thread discussing targeting Gawker's advertisers and we were supposed to be writing letters? When did that happen?

And when did nerds start loving Wheaton? I thought they despised him for Star Trek.

The funniest part about this whole thing is that we as a collective haven't even really actively pursued the opposite side. It appears to me that Roosh is taking pot-shots at these guys as the GGers are fighting the main battle.

Yeah I don't know why rvf was mentioned and not kia. I suspect that comment was left by a gawker insider/worker who hates us and wanted their mob to hurt us. I have been hitting gawker hard on twitter this week, not to mention for the past couple years.
