Apparently someone needs to familiarize himself with rules of discussion.
Wait hold on this shit really happened?

350 people is probably not enough to drive gawker to hide their advertiser list. Seriously. They really are into marginalizing people.
The weasel wording bugs me, but it is a start.
Love the idea of Gamergate effecting Gawker. At most the Kotaku branch but all the sites? Hell naw.
MSNBC is taking the more liberal side to a story? Stop the presses. MSNBC bothering with Gamergate over real news is surprising though. Notorious blue state Arizona legalizing gay marriage? The rumors of Ruth Bader Ginsberg retiring? No lets focus on that gaming thing the guy from Firefly is pissy about. Yeah that's real news.
Mercedes didn't advertise on kotaku or the showbiz rags, the car companies are or were advertisers on jalopnik. That's who Biddle was referring to as friends. Don't have an actual problem with jalopnik, but that's what happens when your branding goes sour. In the real world that's when a collapsing business starts spinning off successful pieces so as not to kill them.
Pretty much. Their last few game-related articles were shit like "Pokemon's worst generation being remade" (regarding the Ruby/Sapphire remakes) and how sexist Bayonetta was. They're relying on the Tumblrista crowd to fill in for the clicks they lost when they pissed off their actual consumer base, but Tumblristas care not for games and care not for their triangulation attempts. So they clickbait - as loudly, as hard as they can, as Gamergate and Operation Disrespectful Nod continue to take their toll.
Someone find him and slap him in the face. HARD.I'm gonna leave this here. A journalist responds to a Reddit thread about a poorly researched GG article in Boston Globe

-off topic-What the hell is with the character design and visuals? The general models are really unsettling-looking and their movements come across as jittery and off-kilter. This looks like a game that was created a decade and a half ago for the PS1, not a recent IOS title. The action also looks really sluggish and uninteresting as well. Grid-based combat was done better and more coherently in games like Peacekeeper. The hit detection's off as well, as evidenced at 1:30 where the grenade's explosion hits her despite being technically out of range. The combination of slow-paced combat, quick-time events, and boring visuals does not make this game terribly appealing, especially on a marketplace as competitive as mobile gaming.
Overall, this doesn't look very enjoyable, based upon this demo.
Also, does anyone else find it hilarious that someone who shit-kicks about Misogyny has female characters in skin-tight costumes? Just asking.
And now, we have an alleged devfag on /gg/ - who brings us thus:
I disagree with the crash theorizing (a Crash like 1983 won't happen; there's simply too much set up to prevent it), but we are witnessing the end of an age. It's a new world out there we're approaching, a better one - and we're going to have to keep up the awesome to fight for it, methinks.
You'd think that they'd have learned from the Mountain Dew incident.
Now shut up and enjoy a nice bottle of Hitler Did Nothing Wrong.
Almost certainly Anitas going to find a way to back out. Everyone knows she's a lousy public speaker and typically only speaks when she can 100% control the narrative, hell I'm surprised she even agreed to this. Though if she does go through with the debate I'm expecting something similar to the BBC discussion or the Huffington Post debate where the anti gg sjw side acts like complete idiots and has to resort to name calling and personal attacks.
I think this would be great as long as it is done correctly. The LWs have a right to a voice, even when I don't like what they say. If they manned up (so to speak, forgive the figure of speech) and left their hugboxes and stopped the bullying tactics I would happily losten to them. They'd have to accept that they need to live to a higher standard of proof, and that's a good thing.
