This whole "OP can't bump his own thread" is so much bullshit. It used to be that storytime threads helped prevent /co/'s front page from being on big mass of general threads. Now, the generals are crowding out the storytime threads, simply because people are too busy reading the stories to comment.

It is bullshit considered how people on /co/ respond to any and all troll threads and people that actually want to troll just change their IP so they can bump the threads. I would be even more upset if most storytimes lately weren't just new comics or shitty events.

Changing captcha has been around for a while. I believe it was done to stop people from spamming. They'd fill out like 50-100 captchas and use a script to post several times within a few minutes.

While we're on the subject of captcha, I really wish it wasn't on the reports as well. Captcha has been pretty shit lately, and sometimes I have to fill it out multiple times just to report posts. This is really starting to discourage me from reporting shitposters.

It would be nice if they could make Captcha on a karma/frequency system. Every day after you get X successful captchas you only have to do if you post more than once an hour (or half hour, or something). But that would work against 4chan Pass, which probably helps with the billz. I notice that most of the ads are about 4chan itself, though I don't know if the Pass is keeping the lights on entirely or if they're still having a bitch of a time finding advertisers...

He even said once that the whole deal with getting things made quickly is stretches of unbroken focus being needed to build up steam, and I'd think conventions could be a serious roadblock to that. Kickstarter, I can see being important enough to interrupt for, but that's just because of the amount of money that went into it. Even then, I think a good sense of focus would help both projects succeed relatively sooner in terms of their actual end goals.

I disagree, gore and porn are too common and versatile on the internet to have lasting shock value. A really obnoxious shitty maymay would have done more harm because lots of dumb kids would just continue using it years after, like they still do with desu and trollfaces. That's were it hurts, picture you hate that just don't fucking die, or worse, end up being liked by other people you used to like.

Ha ha, time for Devil's Advocate! ... or white knight, whichever you prefer.

People will post whatever they want, and talk of whatever they want. As long as the rules are being followed, complaining is m00t.

However, whether or not "half the board" is right or wrong matters little. The only important thing is that you have the ability to talk about what you want, in threads you like. Remember, no one is forcing you to go in threads that you dislike. Just stay where you want, and don't complain about threads you don't post in. Why would you complain about threads you don't post in? What's the point?

Unless someone is dumping OFFENSIVE content in a thread you're in, and you know it doesn't belong. Then you can complain. Otherwise, live and let live.

You can read the thread yourself and see which people got banned and which posts were deleted.

The more pornographic material was allowed, some sfw pictures were selectively removed and posters banned. The thread in question wasn't cropped porn pics and fapfics. Hell, compare to the recent cheesecake threads, which went straight untouched.

You can't selectively enforce new rules like they are doing. That's a terrible pattern of behavior for a moderator.

Banning on frivolous reports is also completely unacceptable mod behavior, let alone that there has clearly been a trend here where they are issuing the bans all cited under global rule 3 for furry content outside of /b/, which by all prior practice was fine so long as it was board relevant and sfw.

Any way you slice it, it's a rogue mod.

I didn't say such bans happened, I just didn't know what to expect because it seemed like other such report-announcing posts tended to hang around, and wasn't sure if they just weren't being reported or rule 7 wasn't being properly enforced. Apparently the former in that particular case at least, which I find good.

Also, false and misclassified reports are in fact also against rule 7, so if a report is actually bad, banning for it is official policy.

IMO it all really depends on the nature of the character they're replacing. If it's a total straight adaptation where it helps to be as loyal as possible then yeah it's probably dumb, especially if it takes place in a setting like making Captain Ahab black or Mulan an Indian. But if the nature of the character is that their background can be ditched, like the important aspect of their backstory was that they grew up in modern NYC, had a good relationship with their mom and brother, and used to be a cop, then yeah it doesn't matter to me.

Extremist reaction to extremist behavior. When we don't have to account for our identity, we don't feel pressured to respond rationally. They feel frustrated and attacked, placed under the same unfair hyperbole that Tumblr extremists preach against, and they know it. But they're angry, so they shift into a irrational attack mental state, ironically fueling and justifying the extremists they're angry at.

It's inevitable for any site based on regular discussion that reaches critical mass, which 4chan did years ago. The more reasonable/interesting/helpful tend to get overwhelmed by the continuous stream of shitheads (be them 13 year old idiots or 28 year old trolls) and move on to greener pastures. Their absence just invites more such people. A lot of people also leave because the speed is too much for them; it's hard to have a conversation when there are 200 people involved at once.

The SJW (which aren't just on tumblr, but that seems to be their own "haven") didn't do much to change the culture of 4chan, but give them a coalescing and shared platform of hating the SJW and their own brand of bullshit (likely because they're just as effective as the trolls without trying to be trolls.) This actually made 4chan users overall more powerful, because that shared hatred gives them common ground to rally around, such as http://i.imgur.com/E7XZaKz.png That power is always used to antagonize, but sometimes--like this--it's used to antagonize bad people (at least, as far as 4chan understands them) in the pursuit of helping others. Project Chanology didn't really "help" anyone, but it was good antagonism.

I think that's exaggeration of it. A lot of people are overly excited about funding some dumb art team's video game project.
They seem to think it's a fun way to show up other, more annoying people, and maybe get them to be quiet for a bit, while also maybe getting an actually passable video game out of it. Pretty sure I didn't see anyone expecting me to hivemind in the threads I saw last night. Even today, I just see posts written under the presumption that I'll either care or ignore them, for the purpose of further motivating in the former case.

People would be milder against Korra if mods kept the fags from posting 5 threads in a row, often reusing the same pics, for a discussion content that is invariably "at least there's the porn". At this point it's just invasive and only serve to send slower threads to page 10 while the guys making the threads gets the false sensation that their cartoon is popular just because it's there.

For all the retarded misogynists, racists, and homophobes there may be, and as motivated by sheer womanhate as the initial (tenuous) ZQ incident might've been (not that it didn't turn out she's kinda shitty too what with the cheating, transphobia, and all), I think videogame journalistic integrity and disclosure is a pretty important issue that deserves to be discussed. It's just that 4Chan isn't a good place for it, especially since anonymity means any inkling of an attempt to shift focus and become a positive force for change rather than a bunch of grudgeposts by butthurt reactionaries runs into a wall with all the trolls and assholes.

Shame the fuse for this had to be what it was and cause SJW and genuine rightwingers to jump in mindlessly and fuck everything over. Something like Dorito Pope v2.0 might not have gotten so explosive (since not being over a woman makes it a less obvious target, also they probably wouldn't have committed the Streisand Effect so egregiously), but the lack of politicization would've made it much more effective. And while I don't think it's the result of a cohesive conspiracy I think it's stupid how all the press is on the defensive and attacking "gamers" as all /pol/-tier reactionaries when there are many of us who are female or minorities (both in my case) who have identified as gamers for years, and are now being erased or even attacked by both sides for daring to defend our existence.

>videogame journalistic integrity
Well there's your problem. Video game journalism doesn't really exist. The thing that gamers refer to as "journalism" is 90% just reviews and previews of upcoming games. Movie Industry journalists don't do that sort of shit. They talk about things like staff hirings, license deals, that sort of thing.

And the thing is, most people who are fans of movies don't read that sort of journalism because that stuff is, for the most part, only interesting to other industry insiders.

So that's the real problem here. You are expecting journalism in an environment that does not support it. The people who read gaming "news" don't actually WANT gaming news. They want people to tell them which games are coming out this month and whether or not to spend their money on it.

They've got that right now. You can make arguments about reviewer objectivity if you like, but know that it's a losing battle--we're talking about reviews, not criticism. Reviews are SUPPOSED to be subjective--they're not supposed to tell you whether something is well made or how much craftsmanship went into it, they're supposed to tell you if you'll like it. Find someone who has the same tastes as you and listen to their reviews and stop pretending like you're ever going to find a universal way of quantifying the experience.

Even criticism isn't OBJECTIVE objective. But even if it were, the gaming audience doesn't want actual criticism. Because actual criticism? It looks a lot like what Anita Sarkeesian is doing. And we've all seen how the gaming audience reacts to that sort of criticism. They don't want people to look at the cultural ramifications of the things they're playing, or what the games say about the human condition or the society we live in. They want people to either tell them what to spend their money on, or they want someone to validate their decision to spend money on something they've already spent it on.

There is no place for journalism in the gamer community.

And the community of people who refer to themselves as "gamers" are nothing like the people who they were in the 90's. I remember because I *am* a 90's gamer, and that's a big part of why I'm so disgusted with modern gamer culture. To the point that I can't even refer to myself as a gamer anymore because I'm embarrassed to be associated with you people. I play video games. But I can not in good conscience still consider myself part of this clusterfuck of barely literate frat boys and neonazis you call a subculture anymore. If you feel offended by this characterization of your subculture, then you should be working harder to marginalize the voices that paint you in this light. Or join me in the "I'm just a guy who plays video games" camp. It's much nicer, and you're actually allowed to like video games here.

More than that, I think off-topic threads that aren't "controversial" (e.g. furry or porn) tend to interest only those on the board who already like it, and those who don't know about or don't like just ignore it unless someone spams threads. For some reason, this can't happen with an on-topic thread; too many people feel they have to come in and say how much they hate it. Perhaps the perception is that off-topic threads will be taken care of by Mods soon enough, but if the on-topic threads go "unchecked", as it were, they would appear a lot more often, sometimes many at once, and start to drown out or kick off other topics.

Perhaps that's how there was enough of a furor to create /mlp/ or ban certain things: anon didn't speak up much when the threads were first starting, threads gained critical mass, anon flipped out, board/ban was made. But now, to keep the critical mass from happening again, anon jumps on every topic they dislike to sage and/or shitpost. Old /co/ (and, to a lesser extent, /v/) had a live-and-let-live approach where no one would rage against a topic as long as it wasn't being spammed, and that mentality seems to have dissipated.

If 4chan runs like +4, that's not necessarily the case. I'm sure they have some global mods, but there are probably some that focus on a handful of boards.

It might sound like all mods being global is a good thing, but this is useful when dealing with nuances within a community. Consider /co/ when the Iron Man alcoholism meme was at it's height. Someone starts a thread with an image of Jack Daniel's and nothing else (except, perhaps, "I'll just leave this here..."). Anyone with familiarity of /co/ would get the joke and either continue it or ignore the thread. A global mod who is not a /co/ regularly might receive a report on it, decide it's off-topic, and ban the OP.

Some just focus on one board like /a/'s mods that maintain their board culture or /v/'s mod because of the traffic. Also we have board janitors so the mods don't have to know a board that well to police it. Janitor are supposed to handle the report and decide whether to make it known to moderation so they can hand out bans or they should just delete the offending thread/post/pic.

Not surprising at all, given that they are both just using politics to justify bullying tactics and tribalism. SJWs co-opt feminism and civil rights movements to justify their shit, and the GG fucks use "journalistic integrity" and "freedom of speech" and such to justify theirs, but they're exactly the same people once you strip away the trappings. Angry teenagers who want someone to take their anger out on, convinced they're doing what's right by hateful fucks who don't really understand the politics they claim to espouse and just get off on manipulating the herds to do their bidding.

The threads on topic are no different from /co/. The rest is full of people sniffing their own farts about having reached their promised land, free from the oppression of mods, with the board mod promising it won't be as bad as /co/.

The thing is, the gloating people appear to be mostly shitstirrers and shitposters, or people who are butthurt about having to face the consequences for breaking rules on 4chan.

It kept all the SJW bitching in one place, and all the overtly sexist/racist/whatever people that called for raids and doxxing were assumed to be false-flagging shills and reported. If moot just kept them and banned the shitters, /v/ would be getting a quiet chemo right now. Instead he cracked the bucket and left the shit to pour all over /v/ and fester.

You know, speaking purely as an outside observer who is completely uninterested in /fit/ and 4chan in general, I think I come down on the other guy's side on this one. The health and fitness of the bits of you that puritans try to pretend they don't have is just as important as the health of the rest of you, and the demonization of even acknowledging that people HAVE those parts in quasi-public places does a lot to prevent people from knowing how to take care of themselves and can even prevent people from performing proper hygiene simply because they don't know what they're doing.

I don't know that I give a shit about foreskin lengthening or whatever the hell he's talking about. But if a place advertises itself as a place to discuss health and fitness, it should not be considered taboo to talk about the health of your junk for the same reason that people SHOULDN'T (but DO) feel embarrassed to ask their doctor to look at a strange bump developing on their penis. This is stuff that people need to know, and feeling like they can ask questions like this without being judged for it is important to having a population that understands what it means to be healthy.

But it goes both ways. If you allow that sort of thing, you also have to be fully willing to entertain discussions about menstrual health and things like that, too. That stuff is also god damned important, and people's squeamishness makes it very difficult for some women, especially shy women, to get answers that they genuinely need to have.

I find it odd that people believe this kind of stuff. I *could* just call them racist or sexist, but is it really that? Are they being willfully ignorant? Do they not understand the issues? Do they think the way they do because they have never personally experienced/observed these things happening in their lives?

Or is it just that these people have little to no life experience and their encounters with women/minorities began and ended with the medium they consume?

They don't care because they are on 4chan. The anonymity of 4chan allows people to be as much of an asshole they want with no repercussions. Also, I think you should take anything >>393990 said with a grain of salt because most of times, people are acting this way merely just to get certain people's goat. There is also the fact that many people are not from the US so they don't understand why some things are racist or sexist to many Americans.

You're confusing the early days of 4chan with 2014 4chan. While it's true that there are still some people just saying it for effect, a lot of the people who are on 4chan now never really understood the trolling culture of 4chan and especially /b/, and just saw people getting approval for saying sexist, racist, homophobic, etc. things and getting positive attention for it, without understanding how much of it was said specifically to shock rather than because anyone actually felt that way. These days a large number of them are completely genuine in their hatefulness, because they think that's what the people they see as peers approve of. And over time, as the oldfags have stopped showing up and the newfags have taken over, it is difficult to tell whether the ironic hate speech on 4chan genuinely outpaces the genuine anymore.

-delete all "chan" cookies, all flash cookies, history, and cache, and wait a few minutes
-restart your browser and wait a few minutes
-restart your computer
-all of the above

Not really. People used to derail shitty threads into anime threads but we still complained about blatant anime threads. Old /co/ wasn't all peaches and cream like some people remember.

/co/'s attitude changed along with 4chan's so as 4chan became a more trigger-happy place full of retards, beggars and uptight assholes, /co/ and other boards have joined suit. There used to be a time that boards didn't want to be the new /b/ but now it's like if you don't act like /b/, you are from Tumblr/Reddit/whatever site that we are supposed to be hating right now.

No, I think that they make up less than 0.001% of the population and that the "threat" of them is inflated by this "Movement" that has formed on the internet because it feeds into the paranoia and victimhood complexes of the participants, and because it gives people a receptacle for the frustration they feel at entirely separate issues in their minds. For some people these issues might include misogyny, racism, homophobia, etc., but for others it might be as simple as previously targetless NERD RAGE, or being a fucking teenager and therefore being angry at the whole world for not thinking it revolves around you the way you do.

These small handfuls of completely insignificant individuals are boogeymen used by 1.) people who do have agendas and recognize the psychological weaknesses of hordes of anons who they can recruit to work as cat paws for their agends, 2.) narcissists who just want to make everything about them and 3.) Paranoids who genuinely believe the shit they say, but only because they are self-centered cowards who think there are conspiracies aligned against them for no god damned reason.

The best abusers never get caught. They siphon money and donations from others who actually need it. They obsessively control the social circles they're in and use their standing to ruthlessly eject anyone they dislike, even over minor disagreements. Most of all, they take advantage of damaged and/or younger sexual, gender, or racial minorities to satisfy their emotional needs and leisure.

The internet is filled with vulnerable people. It's way too easy for a sociopath or any other selfish person with foul intentions to ingrain themselves in a community and assume absolute control. I've something like this happen far too many times:

>harmless person draws the ire of somebody with a strong friend group, popular clique, or fanbase
>popular person attacks them; twisting language and using their connections to exclude someone from a community
>popular person has successfully expunged somebody they didn't like

This is how people like Riley gain power. Establish social power with subtle manipulation or seniority and just bury anyone who disagrees with you, criticizes you, or even annoys you. Anyone wise enough shuts up and stays out of your way.

God forbid if the person you want gone suffers from any sort of mental illness. All you need to do to get rid of somebody like that is just press their buttons and violate their boundaries in just the right way. Eventually they'll reach the breaking point and have a nuclear meltdown.

Even now some of them want a /co/micgate because SJWs are killing comics. I would be for it if this was done during that whole Slutfire thing or when that chick in the Batgirl outfit complained about women in comics at the DC panel, but now it's just seem like the old "/v/ did this so /co/ should do it too!" mentality.

The same boards that refer to /co/ as /co/umblr are the same are either offshoot of /b/ or boards that people consider the new /b/. These same boards have the habit of making "epik maymays" often from other sites like Reddit and Tumblr.


Of course this is just my tinfoil hat talking. Comics(mainly webcomics) and cartoons are more affected by social media because they are easier to make than a videogame so anyone with some art skills can make one. It just so happens that most of the ones that are making them are women (at least the webcomic ones and the ones that anti-SJWs post on /co/ constantly). Of course this doesn't mean /co/ culture no more like Tumblr's than /v/ culture is like Reddit's.

You mean the Kickstarter money used to create her video series? The videos she continues to release to this day? That's not how scamming works, bro.

Except she doesn't. That's just a hyperbole of the highest proportion.

Anon you are too good for this site
Don't you see, everyone here is just an jeering asshole that likes to masturbate to feminist issues and complain about Naruto.

You could give them irrifutable evidence on a silver platter, backed up with reliable sources and explained in a way that even a mentally handicapped four year could understand, and they'd just argue with the type of shit Jumpman says and claim you are a misogynist and a retard. These aren't open-mined individuals willing to hear out anything that doesn't adhere to their PC world view, these are petulant children who like what they believe and will scream and stomp their feet at the mere hint of dissent.

Anon, Anon I love you but we only have 14 hours to save the Earth, and you shouldn't waste your time trying to argue with people who stopped their ears long ago.

It takes a special kind of stupidity to believe even for a second that /v/ of all places honestly gave a shit about 'equality', 'diversity', 'inclusion' or 'justice'. How long have you been on 4chan?

When you march to /pol/'s tune, don't expect to be taken seriously. #GullibleGate is /pol/'s masterstroke - hordes of morons actually believe this is about videogames or 'journalistic integrity'. It's about politics and nothing less. Videogames are just another battleground.

It's not a coincidence that this movement didn't appear when journos shat on ME3 critics or when they called people entitled idiots for not liking DmC but when some nobody feminist cheated on her boyfriend. It's not a coincidence that now all of a sudden right-wing groups claim to care about videogames when they considered gamers degenerate scum before (and still do, not just openly). It's not a coincidence that #GGs don't care when the industry comes up with new anti-consumer bullshit, instead always going back to how evil those "SJW" journos are ("SJW" by now meaning "everyone who refuses to side with #GG") and how fighting those must take priority for whatever copout reason ("we can't fight the fat cats so we have to target the indies").

I never said anything about "feminazis" being peaceful, I'm just sick of the constant bitching of anything deemed "SJW". Are there crazy tumblrinas that believe in otherkin headmates, unironically say "DIE CIS SCUM!", and are know-it-all white liberals? Yes, absolutely, but I really doubt most of them are a serious threat to anyone or anything.

There are currently at least three bait threads on /co/ that only exist to reinforce this bizarre hatred of any discussion on diversity in comics and cartoons .

1. Quinn is not a feminist, she destroyed a feminist group that aimed to get women into gaming.

2. It's been cooking for awhile and even the whole quinconspiracy thing would have blown over as well, if quinn didn't get 20 of her friends to publish "gamers are dead" article in one day. That's what actually set it off. Before gamejournopros launched their attack it was just like a dozen guys funposting burger threads in /v/. That attack is what got the attention of Baldwin who made the hashtag, and that's what brought people from all walks of life together so the aGG couldn't claim it was just a bunch of fat white dudes.

3. #GGs DO care when the industry comes up with new anti-consumer bullshit, we even contacted the FREE TRADE COMMISSION to investigate the journalists. In other words you have no idea what you're talking about.

You are fractally wrong, every part of your post is wrong at every conceivable scale of resolution. Looking at it as a whole is wrong, focusing on any paragraph it's still just as wrong, and focusing on every sentence it's still the same amount of wrong.

Considering that /pol/ mainly consists of people who cry about being oppressed by the government yet are very open about wanting the government to oppress people _they_ consider "degenerate", #GG's roots lying in /pol/ does undermine them.

>thousands of people with different arguments and ideals

Yet the common thread is their opposition to "SJW" 'destroying videogames' (which is a subset of "ethics in videogame journalism". That is an observable fact). According to #GG, "SJW" includes everyone who doesn't side with #GG (just like what the other side believes). That is an observable fact.

>Implying I support e-bullying.

All the same, I don't really care if people disagree with me on #GG or not. What bothers me are the ethically inconsistent people who look the other way on abuse or harassment based on how much they like someone.

#GG would have fizzled out like every other scandal in gaming/e-journalism if it wasn't for everyone involved sloppily attacking people for giving them cognitive dissonance. That's the sad part. It wasn't even some malicious clandestine conspiracy. In the GameJournoPros chat logs, when the zoepost first came out, the response was

>SOME GUY IS SAYING BAD THINGS ABOUT OUR FRIENDS!
>What? Where?
>I'M NOT EVEN GOING TO LINK IT ITS SO DISGUSTING AND SLUTSHAMEY AND MISOGYNISTIC. YOU BETTER NOT LOOK AT IT OR ELSE YOU'RE A BAD PERSON.
>O-okay? So do we report on it or...
>Nah, it's their private life let them do whatever.
>But we've reported on this kind of stuff before...
>NOT THIS THIS IS BAD.

When TotalBiscuit broke the silence (completely neutrally, only referring to the deleted threads on Reddit) they started calling him a misogynist and a racist. When The Escapist wouldn't delete their forum thread about it Jim Sterling called the Editor-in-Chief an asshole and quit. Zoe's boyfriend was called every name under the sun and his friend Rachel (a former abuse survivor) was shit on for convincing him to write it. Kotaku made new rules to disclose (not even ban, just disclose) whenever writers had personal or financial relationships with the people they wrote about and people turned on them for giving into the demands of "the other side".

It ended up becoming World War I for e-idiots, because people thought that acting like a decent, normal human being would somehow set some sort of bad precedent. Now 4 months later we're in some sort of wacky alternate universe where people have made actual careers out of e-thuggin' for angry screenshots and shitty documentaries about Anita Sarkeesian. A wacky upside-down world where criticizing internet bloggers is analogous with institutionalized racism, and Jack-Thompson-Meets-Comics-Authority style censorship campaigns are considered palatable. Where thousands of people argue over whether or not porn stars should be allowed to fuck each other while dressed like 4chan mascots for charity. All of this could have been prevented with a simple "lol keep it in your pants, Nate" and a policy change, but instead of acting like grownups with careers, game bloggers acted like those dumb people in the comments section who defend whoever they relate to the most. That's why #GG is still around and keeps on burning. Because #GamerGate is filled with reactionary assholes, and so is the opposition.

>I've been trying to find internet communities that aren't filled with either /pol/tard shitlords or insincere SJWs, but they're pretty hard to come by.

#GG is still around because the gaming community always had misogynists, racist, homophobic, and transphobic folks who hate anything they see as "SJW propaganda." The existence of /v/ proves that. It's just easier to identify them now. The few people that cared about ethics either left after how toxic that hashtag became, or are silenced by the multiple psychos spouting their hate.

And TB hasn't been fair and balanced about GG. He's been pandering to them for a while. Playing down and mocking the death threats that aren't directed towards him. Coming to #GG defense with the head of Blizzard condemned the movement for harassment by saying "No, he wasn't talking about you."

Jim Sterling left because of how horrible The Escapist handled its coverage of #GG, by interviewing the male developers that committed acts of harassment.

For a follow-up on that incident, check out this post by a former Escapist writer.

There will always be a #GG in one form or another. The important thing it that they will never be seen as legit. #GG has become a joke in the eyes of the public, with only those who think gaming is a niche that needs them to survive left to battle.

>https://storify.com/alexlifschitz/escapist-drama

You mean one guy? The guy that even the site's editor in chief called out? This is your proof that all the abuse and harassment leveled at their staff was justified, and you back up this viewpoint by posting a storify made by Zoe Quinn's boyfriend?

>There will always be a #GG in one form or another. The important thing it that they will never be seen as legit. #GG has become a joke in the eyes of the public, with only those who think gaming is a niche that needs them to survive left to battle.

And this right here, your mindset, this is the problem. You're so busy trying to discredit anyone that has anything to do with "the other side" of the story that you end up attacking and slandering people who haven't done anything. All while ignoring the fucked up stuff the bad people that agree with you do. In that Storify you posted alone, you have Untimely Gamer, a guy that made an organized harassment campaign against a dev named Jennifer Dawe (why? for this: https://storify.com/SleepyTearyEyed/gmshivers-timoflegend-argument ). You have Ian Miles Cheong, the former neo-nazi that got banned from Reddit for gaming links for ad revenue. You have a_man_in_black, the former wikipedia editor that spends day and night trolling people on Twitter. The message at the end of 4 months isn't "harassment and misogyny are bad", it's "harassment and misogyny are okay if you do it to the right people". They're stuck in that silly paternalistic NiceGuy™ mode where they do all of the fucked up stuff they say they're above but aren't self-aware enough to notice.

>Translation: I desperately want to believe that everything bad I do to people that are in any way associated with this is justified.

Where did I say harassment was justified? By me or anyone else? I called out the shitty people who did shitty things under that tag. Things that have been reported by the mainstream media. Things I've seen and experienced. These aren't fabrications. These things happened. Pretending they didn't or should be shrugged does good to no one.

>You're so busy trying to discredit anyone that has anything to do with "the other side" of the story that you end up attacking and slandering people who haven't done anything.

Except they have done these things.

I won't vouch for everyone that's anti-GG, since it's impossible for me to know everyone. However, in the case of Cheong, he has apologized for comments he made in the past (https://storify.com/turnoffthenews/ian-miles-ch). In comparison to Milo Yiannopoulos of Brietbart, a writer who actually fits the corruption #GG claims to be fighting agianst (http://www.reddit.com/r/GamerGhazi/comments/2h5iwm/fun_facts_about_milo_yiannopoulos_gamergates/), he's instantly forgiven for any hateful remarks he recently makes. When he got suspended for them, #GG claimed censorship, instead of trying to understand why it happened in the first place.

On Ultimately Gamer, is this the incident you're referring to?

https://twitter.com/untimelygamer/status/537446450352115713

Suggesting someone to not buy a person's games, because of political ties is not harassment. It's no different fro saying you shouldn't support this author because of their actions.

However, threatening to and then release private email or finances of indie game devs IS HARASSMENT. Hiring a private eye to stalk a game developer like Zoe Q for ethics in journalism IS HARASSMENT. DDOS a charity organizer for not wanting anything to do with a movement connected with sexism IS HAR... well, you get the point.

On the other side, I didn't agree with those tweets from Gawker writers that said "bullying is sometimes justified," or something along that nature. Those quotes were stupid. I can understand the frustration behind them, but those tweets did nothing but unnecessarily provoke. I also don't support the syringe Milo got in the mail, I believe. That's horrible.

What does frustrate me is when cases of female harassment are pointed out, #GG is quick to spew out "Professional Victim," than show any sign of empathy.

The whole "attack on us gamerz" has been annoying me for a while now. The gaming community as a whole is not evil, but let's stop pretending everyone involved is an angel. They're real shitheads there and they need to be called out on. Staying silent only encourages that attitude.

Even though I don't approve of all of TotalBiscuit's statements on the matter and I lean slightly anti-GG (not that it amounts to much because I've seen enough of the extremists and vile filth among the anti-GG side firsthand to want to stay out of it altogether), I don't really blame him for taking the stance he did. He's not really "pandering" to GG so much as he was pushed into it because of the moronic backlash against him by members of the anti-GG side. What he said about ZQ wasn't even that horrible and at that point he even had a disclaimer about how it could've been a false flag planted by her haters, but apparently living up to his cynical namesake and not immediately jumping to her defense makes him a literal neo-Nazi. It's unfortunate he's let himself be put into a corner like that, but any sane person would become biased against the side which treat them like that.

I never assumed, all I've been saying is that there's a ten mile stretch between "racist misogynist" and "rambunctious social justice warrior", and tons of people in that space are being harassed and threatened over not going one way hard enough.

>The core came from /v/

Ah yes, the board that calls anything even remotely social justice related "pandering", is convinced that all of feminism is out to destroy gaming ("all feminists are radicals by definition"), calls people white-knights for speaking out against the usual "attention whore" programmed response that everyone who is revealed to be female on the board or in multiplayer games /v/ plays receives, stylized Sarkeesian from a nobody with stupid opinions into literally the Devil and frequently takes disagreement with /pol/ memes as an excuse to derail threads.

/v/ existed before #GG started calling commonly-tolerated views "shilling" and "false-flagging". Pro-social justice opinions were not well received at any point in time at all. Way back they'd be laughed off as trolling and nutjobbery. When gaming's yellow press started covering them, the tone shifted to "this is cancer". #GG's positive stance on "non-extremist" social justice is manufactured for tactical reasons and they've caught a lot of suckers who actually believed they were genuine since they don't know anything about 4chan.

/v/'s mainstream opinions do not line up with even 'moderate' social justice values. Of course the average /v/ user is in favor of "equality", as long as "equality" means that everything stays the same (because believing that change is needed equals extremism). Of course the average /v/ user is in favor of "diversity" as long as newcomers don't have dissenting opinions that upset them (see: "pandering"). Of course the average /v/ user is in favor of "inclusivity" as long as no one dares to disturb their mental image of everyone on 4chan being a white man wearing a green mask (otherwise it's attention-whoring or "pushing an agenda").
The average /v/ user "just wants to play videogames" and does not actively care about social justice. Disturbance of that peace (and 100% of social justice issues are disturbances) is by default perceived as an attack. #GG could not have gained traction there as anything but a counter-movement because they constantly chant how they represent social justice values better than the dreaded "SJW".

>/pol/ has hated #gg from the start

The impetus for creating Vivian James came from /pol/. This is documented. Look it up.

/pol/ was involved during the "Quinnspiracy". This is documented. Open wide: http://puu.sh/boAEC/f072f259b6.txt /pol/ memes everywhere, talk about doxxing and flooding /v/. Actual source, no yellow press spin.

YOU are the one who needed to lurk more. If you'd been there before the "Quinnspiracy" you'd actually know how the average /v/ poster thinks rather than swallowing the historical revisionism and willful ignorance (in 4chan terms: newfaggotry) #GG drones propagate.

And before you attempt the obvious strawman: /v/ is not a hivemind but it is a community. Every community has its set of generally accepted opinions and generally inacceptable opinions. 4chan boards are no different. If you believe that every opinion is at least tolerated (allowed to exist), you weren't there before captchas were introduced.

I guess /co/ will meet the same fate as /jp/.

When /jp/ first came out, the board was actually very interesting and educational, and I'm not even a weeaboo.

The board had a variety of discussions on obscure Japanese software, arcade hardware and systems, an objective, mature look (by 4chan standards) at how Japanese society, styles and economic strategies have changed over the years, a technical examination of visual novels and Japanese text-based games from the 90s and early 2000s, in-depth overview of key employees and their fates from defunct VN-producing companies, a behind-the-scenes look at how synthesized music was produced for 80s Japanese pop music and how the Yamaha DX7 and Roland Jupiter-8 made a big impact on popular music abroad, and so on.

Most of that stuff is now deleted immediately by the janitors who do it for free because apparently it doesn't fall under their definition of "otaku culture". When I type "define otaku" in google search, I get the result:
>o·ta·ku: [noun] (in Japan) a young person who is obsessed with computers or particular aspects of popular culture to the detriment of their social skills.

Now the threads have devolved to:

Can't believe you're talking about social justice in a positive light. You realize the entire idea of it is to mete out "justice" to people according to what group they get arbitrarily put in instead of their actions, character, personality or who they are?

Social justice is just about every type of ism (racism, sexism) combined, because it does this with all groups, not just with races, sexes or religions. At any point SJWs could decide to group people over something completely insane, like hair color or which hand they use to write with, it doesn't matter.

Social "justice" is a culture of discrimination, people just get fooled into it by the "justice" part as if evil is always truthful (and the Democratic Republic of Korea is really democratic), when in reality Social Justice is about as far as we can get from actual justice.

Not gonna delve deeper into tl;dr wallpost by someone who fell for social justice of all things, and doesn't even know the waves of feminism.

I stopped reading because that poster has no idea what he's talking about whatsoever. If you can't get the basics down, then your opinion on something is worthless.

Saying that there's something wrong with actual social justice just shows how incredibly sheltered you are. I'm not talking about what's going on at tumblr, I'm talking about actual shit that's going on in the world, shit that if you had any idea about, you wouldn't be posting such silly BS.

Child porn gets removed like on any imageboard, even this one.

What the utterly impartial destructoid is talking about is discussions about underage relations. And considering there are entire countries out there with lower ages of consent than the discussions 8chan is having, it seems a bit dumb to be banning speech on the topic.
I can't even call your view eurocentrist, or americentrist, because both of those unions allow special case marriage as young as 13 if there's parental permission.

Age of consent is fluid and is a legitimate topic of discussion in a fucking parliament, who are you to say it should be banned on an imageboard?

That is an absurd question that shows exactly why no one takes people like you seriously. Depression Quest may not have been a good creative work (I have no idea because I don't give a shit about it and never had any interest in playing it, and I find it hilarious how gaters always try to make out like everyone who thinks they're idiots are on the same side of some war), but video games are creative works.

8chan on the other hand seems to be nothing more than a copy of 4chan with different management. They seem to be using Patreon so the owners can make money off of paying for a server for a 4chan clone to run on.

That's because my mom has had it for decades, so I know the game treats the disease in very disparaging terms. To Zoe clinical depression is just sadness, and if we all just make the choices in life leading to happiness we can "fix" a hormonal receptor disease.

All of which, other than the bit about stealing money from depression charities, is completely irrelevant to the discussion and an attempt to turn it into a discussion of the *value* of the game, and by extension, the value of its creator.

As for the stealing money from charities, I assume you have submitted your proof of this to Patreon and to law enforcement officials, who should take care of the issue from here.

I hope you understand that what you are doing here, in your campaign to hurt Zoe Quinn, is insulting artists of all sorts and subverting tools designed to help them make money. Including artists who hate Zoe Quinn.

People who want to run websites and make money off of them already have tools at their disposal. They can run advertisements. They can set up Paypal donation buttons. They can charge subscription fees, like Something Awful does. Shit, they can even run Kickstarters! Patreon is designed to allow people to become patrons of artists, not as an alternate business model for message boards or to support political causes.

I just hope that your desire to make some girl that no one but you guys gives a shit about cry is worth subverting the cause of artists everywhere.

There is no content production in what the people who run 8chan are doing. They simply provide a forum for other people to produce content, or more often, share other people's content.

Just the logical counterweight to people daily dosing the place with their fetish. Now it annoys more people than it pleases so you get anti threads. Same with tumblr, /co/ goes from hating them to love them regularly, usually based on how much porn it delivers from the current flavour. /co/ was more or less /co/mblr for the whole duration of Frozen general for instance. /co/, unlike most of 4chan, actually attracts people with few attachment to the site. They literally come for only one or two type of threads, then leave when threads fails.

You do have a point with you first sentence but "anti-threads" have been on /co/ longer than Tumblr was even a thing on 4chan. People have been treating /co/ like its the /rule34/ board for the better part of a decade. moot won't give 4chan a /pco/ because he fears lawyers and the "furry menace" so they go to the next best thing which is /co/. As for non fetish "anti-threads", more often then not the people who like a show/comic/movie stop talking about while the people who hate it can't stop telling people why they hate it. This happened a lot when MLP was on /co/.

The problem is what they are bitching about now. Which is either racist shit, or SJW shit. (or anti- those things sometime). Nobody on /co/ seem to care about comics or cartoon anymore, except as excuses to bitch about their personal agenda. The only way to get on topics is to dump a comic and cross fingers someone will read it and thanks you and call it a day.

When people feel their freedom of speech is suppressed the only thing they want to talk about is the suppression itself, because they don't have interest in the "permitted" topics. This is a well known social effect, the first amendment is based around it.

So the question you should be asking is why the userbase feels it's not allowed to speak its mind.

How is that new? I call everybody a kid on 4chan, because it annoys "mature" people and make real kids go super furious all the time. The trick is to never talk about you in the situation. Call them kids, but don't say shit like "I'm older than you" So you can be sure than the shitstorm and trolling is one side in your favour. Nothing's like some trying to defend their videogames/comics by telling you they are something like "respectable adults with 6 figures incomes and a gf and their own car".

Maybe money isn't strictly necessary but someone fairly rich IS paying for 2ch to be blocked. There's speculation of it being FemFreq, but I personally think they're too greedy to give up money that easily. It could be one of the trust fund kiddies that are common among SJWs, they don't know the value of money anyway.
http://arstechnica.com/security/2015/01/8chan-related-sites-go-down-in-lizard-squad-powered-ddos/

So far the attitude among /gg/ is that whoever is doing it at least we're tying up their funding in this.

Also this is clearly a desperation move. LizardSquad is an anti video game Jack Thompson group, that also very much dislikes free speech on the internet.
They attacked Tor of all things, purpose being to try and bring it down in areas where it was most needed if something like Arab Spring happens again. That's inexcusable, Tor saved lives of protesters over there.
LS attacked several MMORPG video games, they attacked Xbox and PS2 networks on Christmas, and they even called in a terrorist threat against the CEO of Sony.
They are enemies of gaming and free speech, whoever is paying LS has lost any sort of high ground in the discussion.
To the gamergate crowd that's a good sign.
