Intel Drops Gamasutra Sponsorship Over Controversial Editorials
An anonymous reader writes Processor firm Intel has withdrawn its advertising from Gamasutra in response to the site's decision to carry feminist articles. The articles had drawn the ire of the self-described "Gater" movement, a grass-roots campaign to discredit prominent female games journalists. Intel was apparently so inundated with criticism for sponsoring the Gamasutra site that it had no choice but to withdraw support. An Intel spokesperson explained that "We take feedback from our customers very seriously especially as it relates to contextually relevant content and placements" and as such Gamasutra was no longer an appropriate venue for their products."
Prominent Female Game Journalists: clearly the most dangerous threat to humanity as we know it. Well deserving of a movement to discredit
which is a FLAW, NOT a feature, you pearl-clutching authoritarian douchenozzle...
that there is virtually NO 'public commons' left where you can actually PRACTICE free speech (out side of the orwellian 'free speech zones', R U FUCKING KIDDING ME ? ? ?) is NOT a 'good thing'...
and by the by, saying ONLY gummints are capable of censorship (which you only inferred, but too many people outright aver) is WRONG: OF COURSE 'private' institutions can censor, it MAY be within their 'rights', but it is STILL most certainly censorship...
of course, for those sheeple who never say anything The They (tm) will not find threatening, they don't need ANY free speech at all, do they ? ? ? that would be you...
Blatant racist who doxxes people for amusement and sides with violent racist, sexist, and transphobic sociopaths... Yeah i'd said she deserves it.
