  1. Re:It Remains a Journalism Scandal. Deal With It. on Bounties vs. Extreme Internet Harassment · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    You are completely wrong.
    Gamergate was started by a bunch of ass-hats who lied about event and then used the lie to make death threats against women.
    Somewhere during that some people said it was about journalistic integrity. It is not.
    Some people incorrect believing that it was about journalistic integrity started defending gamergate. Then many of them saw that the vast majority of gamaregate people were in 8 chan plotting attacks against women, and any studies looking at women in gaming. From intentionally polluting the data, to threatening to kill people.

    " journalistic lapses and cover up never happened"
    the didn't happen. The story about sleeping with someone to get a good review was patently false, and spread by a jilted lover.
    Plus, the people in gamersgate have no idea how entertainment journalism works. non at all.

    You are the one putting wind into this, no one else. the fact that you things like this show you don't really know what you are talking about regarding this issue:
    "Gamergate as right-wing misogynist terrorists"
    No. Based on there actions, gamergate is "misogynist terrorists"
    The threaten people with death because of their ideology on game. The're behaviour is what gets them labeled that, nothing more, and certianly not their place on a political spectrum.

    " out of its way to frame the whole issue in terms of misogyny and harrassment "
    because THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE DOING. look at their actions" Gamersgate commits misogyny and harrassment all the time, even on people who aren't addressing them directly.

    You are either a shill for gamersgate, or a clueless person.

    Learn to think and read up on the history of what's going on here.

    no they don't, and making death threats against ANYONE is wrong and should be dealt with, regardless of gender.

    Start with Why the loss? Take a look.

    They are moving into a lot of platforms. They want to be the mobile platform for all content.
    It won't surprise me if Amazon opens up a way for people to have video channels, like Youtube but with a way to weed out the idiots.
    Amazon is playing the long game. If they win they will be the platform everyone uses to launch need business and grow.

    If the flinch and decides to cut the moves they have made to do that, in the long run they won't add up to much.
