Private convo? Invite plz
Given that gaming journalism is presently being used as a platform to mobilize ideological dogma I don’t think its wrong to condemn SJWs who for all intent and purposes are the modern day equivalent of the comic book code of authority.
It came #gamergate in light of the gamers are dead articles. To my recollection, what was false about Quinn was her sleeping with Nathan Grayson to get a good review. People jumped the gun on that though Grayson did provide positive coverage for her game when they have a relationship. Even if they weren’t screwing it would still be unethical as Grayson supports her on Paetron and he’s credited as a tester for her ‘game’.
The links are out there, so why aren’t you checking the sources yourself?
RPS wrote about the game twice when their reporter helped make it and his name is in the game’s credit, and he’s friends with the creator and donates to her patreon. You think it’s not a big deal? Well, adding one line of disclosure is not a big deal either, but instead of doing it they attack the critics.
I mean the allegations she fucked five journalists for positive coverage

#Gamergate first used - 27th of August
‘Gamers are dead’ - 28th
The hashtag was used indeed coined a day before the articles, but you can’t deny the articles didn’t sky-rocketed it into relevancy. It grew over twice it’s size in a single day (15k tweets to 45k tweets).
The flames steadily grew at the start, then all of a sudden those articles literally just poured fuel all over the fire. If left to it’s own devices the hashtag could’ve very well burnt itself out instead. For all we know, it could’ve been a piss in the wind just like any other hashtag.
The Zoe post did not say “5 journalists”. Why do you keep strawmanning when the source is available?

Notice how it’s YOU who wants to talk about her vajayjay, ignoring the irrefutable evidence I’ve linked, so that even if she never slept with anyone you can still see misconduct clearly. Also Polygon’s Gone Home connections have nothing to do with ZQ yet you ignore that too.
Let me explain this to you in simple terms: What the Zoe post was for gamers, is an invitation to dig on journalists and organizations that work behind the scenes like Silverstring Media. People have dug and have found a lot of nasty shit. Now it’s about the nasty shit, which is way more than just Grayson-Quinn relationship, but you and a lot of others still seem to be stuck on day 1.
re-posting for hilarity
If there’s a private convo, I’d like an invite.
Private convo?
Could I have an invite please?
Dunno why so many idiots like to keep bringging that cunt like if is of any relevance.
I like how BB Hood joked about a private conversation, and then two posts later talked about it later. Hope you guys are joking
Stay trolling or stay retarded. Hopefully the former.
What’s your problem dude?
Exactly what I posted. You joked about something and people are taking it seriously. It’s dumb on them.
He’s not joking tho, we have a private PM conversation going, we’ve had it for about a week before it was ever mentioned in here.
Is there a similar chart for the entirety of that hashtag’s existence?
Ooohh, gotcha. Egg on my face 
So I’m the topic of media and reviews what format do you think would be good ? I like Kotaku’s “Yes/No” of doing review scores.
The reviews themselves? Do you all think it’s feasible for something like a Matthew Mattosis review to exist as the norm? Would it even be possible due to deadlines, lack of manpower etc.?
I belive an apology is in order sir. And I think the way MWN does reviews would be a good standard where he either recommend you buy it full price, wait for a price drop, rent, or just pass on it. But scores have got to go. That system is stupid.
I think we should end reviews altogether and just have panels of genre specialists do podcasts about the game. no score given, just talk about the game and what you liked and didn’t like. Basically a Three Moves Ahead for every genre:
