Sankaku Complex Forums » General

  1. This is more of an "I told you so" than an Actual "Gantz rant" (@trademark Gantz Rant) - I told you so in the sense that I often warned you of the tactics & propaganda used by 'Conflict Theorists' in the Culture War for popular opinion.

    #GamerGate blew up in the faces of the people that are part of Media Monopoly of Opinion makers. They thought they were safe. They thought that being in their little "Cool Clique" would protect them from scrutiny, accountability, or responsible journalism. I lamented long & hard here about the Evils of "secret kabals of Group Think" & propaganda campaigns often by the Leftist side of the Media (Can IT!- we know the Right has a version probably as Well- spare me your 'Yellow Brick Road')- I have ALWAYS been concerned with BIAS & abuse of Power (even on Sankaku). Finally it seems #GamerGate is the straw that is breaking the PC-Loving Social-Justice pushing Passive-Aggressive Back of a 'certain type' of journalism. I am NO WAY involved in this fiasco but I'm a tad stunned that it's not a bigger deal here.

    The Bottom-Line is- The Corruption in Gaming Journalism (there is in EVERY type is there not?) and the Peasants actually "revolted" & citizen voices & bloggers started digging up shit & asking questions and ALL the sudden- the "Cool Kids" were caught & started firing back with their "weapons of Control" and that only made it WORSE because it showed how inter-connected & protected all these smaller "links in the chain" really were. I.E. when 20 Gaming Journalist start a lynch mob to attack One Person or Subject with virtually Identical arguments that was all TRUE Truth Seekers needed to see the pattern and in true "Disclosure Fashion"- It became an Information & Dirty Secret war. The System Tried to Attack but there were TOO Many Conscious voices "Not Plugged Into The Matrix" that started waking up more people.

    It's been 2 months now- #GamerGate isn't going away it's only asking more questions. A specific band of Rebels are seeking out advertisers & calling out ALL the sites that once housed & protected this "elite jorno crowd"- The GamerGate crowd don't want Free Stuff or apologies or pats on the back- They want CLEAN UP! Over-sight & Accountability- They are tired of being told about their Industry by corrupt Shills. If this "Revolution" sounds familiar to Americans It SHOULD! They don't want to be the Sheep or The Herder - They just want to play games in a robust industry without a political bias manipulating things behind the scenes. Go to Twitter w/ hashtag #GamerGate and it's ALL there Unfiltered. I personally recommend: InternetAristocrat ‏@Int_Aristocrat , KingofPol ‏@Kingofpol & Milo Yiannopoulos ‏@Nero as my personal favs- They seem to be cititzen journalists leading the charge.

    My Disclosure- I am Pro-GamerGate. I actually suck at most games. I am only good at Fighting Games (like MK, Tekken, Soul Calibur,ect). I am not a gaming journalist but simply a Media Analyst.

    The Best Article to get you UP To Speed on #GamerGate is this one... it nicely explains & disproves MANY of the Myths (the Enemies try to glamour you with) floated about this topic & why it's more about YOU as a consumer are being LIED to by an Elite group of Opinion makers & how they 'professionally' (*snicker) act once they're caught.

    I myself found this approach to be VERY effective - it's rapid style delivery & conclusions are handled with real time examples & screen grabs - Witness "The Quinnspiracy Theory"

    Lastly - I want to address the PINK elephant - the whole sub-plot to this is that Social Justice warriors have been exposed for meddling in an industry they seemingly have no business in. You know the type. Hell, I was practically lynched by a few HERE (but, I persevered didn't I). It's taken THIS long for the 'common folk' to realize the propaganda & tactics used by the "Politically Correct" Social-Justice Types who say- You either agree w/ me or You're a: rascist, Hater, Bigot, Homophobe, ect - Now we have a Media that does it on Que if you fit their "Narrative" - you've seen it.

    I oddly experienced attacks from female haters for my viewers when I was learning about Anime around 2003-04 - it wasn't till I discovered Sankaku that I discovered what kind of Anime fan I was & it was at the birth of "K-On!" & just as CrunchyRoll & Fan-Subbed Anime was beginning to hit it's stride- Sankaku for all it's faults taught me to appreciate the Anime World beyond the sanitized confines of American Dub purists & the Adult Swim crowd...It made me a better person & fan. Maybe someday Anime will have it's own "GamerGate"? or Revolution - I always wanted This place to be Ground Zero for such a thing....but nah, you're all just a lazy bunch of perverts with too much free time on your hands.

    What exactly is a "Social Justice Warrior" (#SJW) for all you new peeps who skimmed to the bottom for the "Thesis Statement" in the typical TL;DR fashion - BAM!- I got you covered!

    SEE!! It happened in front of you- the Rascist Dog Whistle, the Instant Out-rage, The senseless cry of a Victim nailing themselves to a cross while screaming 'Look What You made me DO!!' - WTF?? YUP.

    STOP FEELING GUILTY Anime Lovers - Japan doesn't - NO Political Correctness there. But they have plenty of Honor, National Pride, & Shaming and MOE.....tons of Moe!

    some Additional media about #SJW & the whole Male-Bash shit I found amusing

    This rant made me laugh cause he's so Angry but his tone is so chill

  4. Pretty much that except when I realised how poor the media was I moved on to other ways to consume content (twitch streams).

    What's really surprised me here is how far the rot has spread pretty much under our noses (and how many people are actually buying their drivel).

  5. I think the last time I took games journalism seriously was when I was a shota and it was all in print magazines.

    Damn, I knew the industry was filled with corruption and cronyism, but the depths it has been reduced to are just sad.

    A while back, Rupert Murdoch was in the shit over accusations of corruption in his news empire. Can you imagine if he'd responded by calling his critics a bunch of autistic neckbeard virgins?

    Games journalism is ridiculously unprofessional. The level of debate is about as high as what you'd find in forum comments.

    I know right!! they're soo Long & yet you don't have to read them. It's almost like the writer doesn't give a shit what you think & just kept writing....what?

    not catching me with that tired crap- I know YOU personally care about Nothing. NOT a dam thing...we should put you in a Geico Insurance commercial - "Did you know Giascle actually cares about NOTHING...and then it's YOU replying to me cause you're dead inside & can't jerk off to shit cause of all that EMPTY wind in your ginger body.

    Don't try to make up for lost time by nipping at my heels there Red

    YES...this is true but the fact that it was ALLOWED to prosper & so many Slept - plus, if it's this Souless & corrupt for something as harmless as Gaming imagine what: Print media, TV News, & such are like - No Ethics, NO Truth, Just SHILLS....then we have the #SJW screaming for Witch Hunts & most of us were too tired "Working" or feeding our families to take stock... You need to MAKE TIME.

    That's a beautiful vid there Khan

    Anime even has it's own SJW - was anyone here aware of the "Moe Wars"? (I don't know) April-May 2013 Zac from ANN's Podcast had some guy who runs a Moe site on to debate the Fandom - the fun catch was, The Moe guy was actually making intelligent arguments (and isn't a creepy white male with a hug-pillow) and the forum ran for like 80 pages & over 1,100 comments (the ANN average is 40-70 comments for a decent topic) until Zac shut it down when posters started to attack Anti Moe crowd by using an argument about how males get male bashed & Males have rights....Zac was furious & closed the thread claiming the topic had moved into Twilight Zone impossibility or some nonsense.

    The Podcast in question:
    http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/anncast/2013-04-18

    TimeEnforcerAnubis - aftermath thoughts
    http://sheslostcontrol.net/anime/2013/05/postgamecast-2013-burning-bridges/

    I only mention this because Zac used many of the same arguments AGAINST "Moe" that you see SJW's use - I.E. "K-On!" girls are submissive unempowered girls or guys like Moe girls cause they have rape fantasies or whatever bullshit excuse of the hour was WHY "Moe is ruining Anime"...look what happened - "Titans", "Kill la Kill", "Space Dandy"...ALL of which have strong Uni-Sex audiences & are regarded as 'Saving Anime'- Despite the Giants are Naked, Kill-La-Kill has 80% naked chicks killing shit & Space Dandy is a Hap-Hazard Playboy in space with a taste for female ASS....Yet, 5 girls who eat cake or Magical Girls or a perverted little Otaku sis comedy was the Fukishima of Anime.

    Meanwhile, "Tokyo Ghoul" & "Pyscho-Pass" offend NO ONE? SJW's hate Moe because it's "pure" & it might encourage guys to like "Nice Girls"...which makes them Harder to attack. SJW's need Perverts for "sword practice" right?

  10. I'm not that big of a gamer but I liked seeing this blow up in real time when the whole Five Guys fiasco turned up. It was so juicy. I personally don't have any stakes in this aside from "People shouldn't bribe journalists for good reviews" which I think everyone can agree on...so...yeah.

    Honestly I'm a little surprised people care THAT much. From my perspective gaming journalism isn't such a serious thing to warrant such a huge upheaval. I think that's why I find it so entertaining. I never occurred to me that anyone cared about gaming journalism in the first place.

    As for the SJW overtones. I'm personally sick of talking about these things. Not because I am for or against it, but because these gender wars where people try to be the bigger victim is exhausting. This horse has been pulverized to ash at this point. SJW is like the term hipster now.

    Because no one did. The consensus has always been that it's terrible, and gamers just go LOL CAN'T SPELL IGNORANT WITHOUT IGN when the new Grand Theft Auto only gets a 9.9/10. They mostly stuck to reading obscure, minor publications, the same way you read obscure, minor publications to avoid Fox News and CNN. But now gaming journalism is terrible with SEX

    RALLY THE TROOPS

    THE SHIT WE NEVER CARED ABOUT IS A FEMINAZI CONSPIRACY

    Being an SJW is not just about gender. Being a feminist is part of the package but not the whole thing.

    I heard some grumblings about gaming journalism during the FeministFrequency fiasco when gaming website were all for her according to critics.

    If people didn't think games journalism mattered, it wouldn't be an industry.

    Maybe the set of people you choose to associate with online are smart enough to ignore it, but games journalism is big enough to attract mainstream advertising money and massively influence sales, which in turn influences the kind of games that devs and publishers make.

    It's also where mainstream media goes to first (and last) when they run stories about gaming.

    Not that I care, because games are for virgins.

    Yeah I know. Being a SJW is about gender among everything else under the sun.

    I'm for equal rights and being a caring individual, but I'm personally tired of the debate. I am but one woman, and I don't feel like speaking for all women kind because I can't and I'm not educated enough. Just being honest. I'm totally for anyone that wants to do that though.

  18. Quinn and Sarkeesian are con artists. SJW's are merely victims. Hopefully people will wake up and drop all this soon.

    WEL

    the #GG thing started as a escape goat for the Anita and Zoe haters. Then 4chan did everything they could to turn it into an honest (or at least honest looking) effort. Lots of people using the tag are either trolling or just dumb as shit. All the big media outlets are completely ignoring it, it's just like is not even happening even after 2 months. I think this is all wasted effort.

    It'd be better if people just learn how to use adblock and blacklist all the sites that they don't want to support. Easy and more effective.
