So what part of the "insane screed" agaisnt Zoe Quinn are you claiming was untrue? And on what evidence?
There's nothing that's untrue that's the thing. The post written by Eron has screenshots, evidence, proof, that Zoe Quinn was an abusive and lying scumbag. And if the the roles had been revered people would have been cheering for her.
I guess that's why there was the DMCA pulldown of Mundane Matt's video, and why a thread with 20k replies in/r/gaming disappeared. Why according to the modleaks logs that several subs were actively banning people who were talking about it, and why GameJournoPros(a clique of writers), went out of their way to spin positive coverage for her, and even lavish her with gifts right?
The 'games media' didn't want to do anything with it, because it showed their own corruption. Nothing more, nothing less. There are numerous cases at game sites were authors were caught either shilling for people they know without disclosure, or actively screwing/shacked-up with someone in a PR company and spinning stuff in a positive light. It was bad enough at IGN that the guy who was writing about Ubisoft(he was shacked up with their PR person), had all of their articles pulled.
Protip: Gamergate started in August, september through october we had a lovely bout of fighting with Ayyteam, GNAA, and SomethingAwful because they decided to troll both sides.
Yep, I can see that. What the hell happened to you, Slashdot? I leave for a couple years, 'cause I've been busy, and now you're giving this opportunist a Q&A? Not only that, but throwing her softball questions so she can push her professional victim schtick, and downvoting people who point this out?
Simple, they got sold off to an advertising company, that also mets out a job search site and they tossed their lot in with the social justice crowd because "outrage sells."
I think the best ads are the native ads--that is, ads that resemble content, but are clearly marked as ads. Digg is currently the best example of this. There's one story box dedicated to an ad. It's easy to find, so it's easy to ignore
Then again I don't actually shop by ads, when I need something for a particular job I'm more likely to ask people who are ahead of me in the industry what they'd suggest, then I go research the products in question.
How about this? Companies properly vet ads, and ensure they don't contain malware. And I'll turn off my ad-blocker, and we'll both be happy. But we already know that the companies don't want to vet ads in the first place.
On top of that we already know that sites that go paywall fail miserably. Only when you have unique content can a paywall stand, this is doubly true in today's "every site has exactly the same news, because our reporters don't report they simply recycle wire stories."
As far as I can tell, because Uber wants it to be.
Pretty much. It's a lot easier to not have to pay things like chauffeurs licensees and have the minimum required amount of insurance for liability that way.
You're right 28 is a dangerous age. It wouldn't actually surprise me if he was an adventurous sort, or did high impact sports or something similar. Three of my friends back ~8 years ago had heart attacks, they were 27, 28, 28. It was directly linked to their lifestyle, one was a marathon runner, the other played high-impact sports, the other was a boxer.
Actually, I have never heard of Randi Harper. Just shows that the problem is real.
Personal feelings have no place in technical decisions and in grading technical merit. Anybody that does not understand this has no place in any parts of the STEM field.
Consider yourself lucky. She's been attacking a kernel developer in BSD for the last 4 months because he doesn't give a shit about her feelings, and she's trying to insert herself into the development by flagging down the misogyny train.
Yeah I don't trust anything coming out of Wong's mouth, mostly since the admins own words seem to be countering it. Like this and like this. In other words, the guy is a lying piece of shit.
Ah I see you're talking about Randi Harper and her harassment against the Free BSD community for someone daring to have a different opinion then her. Yes, that Harper, the one who claims to have an anti-harassment group called "OPAI" and engages in harassment.
The problem of course, is that the FOSS community operates on merit, to SJW's and radical feminists merit and meritocracy are verboten. They'd rather have racial and sex based quotas. If people want to see how bad it's gotten look at Github, and their removal of the meritocracy rug. They're also the ones pushing for codes of conduct, that take peoples feelings into account. And at least in the projects I've started working for they've instituted a no-code-of-conduct policy.
It has plenty to do with free speech, if you don't grasp that censorship exists at a government, business, publication, and personal level for whatever reason, you need to go spend more time out in the world. That means getting out of the country you live in.
You seem to have a problem understanding the difference between private and public. And I'm sure you're going to go ah-ha, but reddit is private. True reddit is private, reddit also bills itself as a bastion of free speech, or did...at one point. Reddit also claimed they're not banning ideas, they also claimed they're only banning actions. Which is of course why they've banned people for ideas, and treading on their 'safe space' policy, which is of course a feels based policy.
And you go ask the mod of Neofag who was shadowbanned* for asking for the sub to be unbanned because they never harassed anyone. So yes, that was a ban because of 'reasons.' And subs like SRS and Gamerghazi are already trying to get subs banned because of feelings, and things they don't like. There's no threat to them, or other people...it's all things contrary to their feelings. In their world, hurt feelings are "what is reasonable to protect themselves from."
So, how can the problem be "harassment" and "doxxing" when SRS is still allowed to exist?
That's simple, because many of the admins when they quit suddenly become mods of SRS. Just like Ellen Pao did, literally the second she quit a CEO. Or as I like to put it: SRS, where admins and CEO's go to show their true colours.
Wake us when this funding would fall under the rubric of "profitable advertising." Or "sustainable."
Well that's sure not reddit, then again you have to ask how they could run a site for years and still need VC to be sustainable. But considering the push that Pao made to can anyone who refused to move to San Fran, it looks like the main VC company behind them want to cash out now.
I'm defending free speech no matter how distasteful it is. Besides, there are worse like/r/cutecorpses or/r/shitredditsays that are actually worse. And I'll defend their right to be assholes and scum too. I realize that it's difficult for someone who probably doesn't live outside the US, and in turn doesn't actually know what "free speech" actually is to understand that.
Citation given. But considering that Voat has pretty much been under a DDoS since the 3th of the month when people threw a hissy fit because it's a reddit alternative there's a huge gap missing.
Have you tried 8chan? There used to be 4chan, but GamerGate was too much even for them and the "SJWs" ruined it.
Going by the banlog, this would appear to be true. When people are banned from/b/ and/pol/ for posting the word 'nigger'/v/ for posting something that doesn't fit the mold, when people are banned from/a/ because the mod has no clue, and attacks the culture. SJW's have indeed ruined it.

You can check through http://www.deepfreeze.it/ or the timeline. Fair warning, there is a lot of reading material.

when the heck were there ethics in game journalism? Way back when, I looked for some and didn't find any.
Late 90's and early 00's when the guys who said fuck you to the magazine industry for the same shit started out. Then they decided ~6 years later the clickbait would be okay, and it continued the downhill spiral. Even the owner of Destructoid understands where Gamergate is coming from.

A lot of companies have recently tried pushing that as news stories and not labeling them, it took Gamergate informing the FTC and the FTC updating and perusing action against companies for doing it. Native ads? It's a way to make ads looks like news, and companies like Gakwer, Kotaku, et al., just got slapped down hard for it.
Then again I don't actually shop by ads, when I need something for a particular job I'm more likely to ask people who are ahead of me in the industry what they'd suggest, then I go research the products in question.
Enjoy your paywalls!

Well that speaks volume on one of the certified programmers that I've hired who didn't even know what an array was.
Isn't that the thingy that has something to do with antennas?

So you're defending /r/coontown?

Easy enough.
Going by yesterdays AMA, that would be correct.
Well they do break the OS. And I got tired after posting of the most visible instances.
Protip: Delayed updates are a forced update, when set.
It isn't a planet, you moron
And A is no longer a vowel, and North is no longer a direction!
