They say people who have an amputated limb feel phantom pain in it. Could this be someone with a phantom e-peen?

The only person associated with Gamergate feeling phantom pain in their ding dong is Brianna Wu.
 
In today's news, forgive that this is generally my first time actually attempting to post any sort of update here; we have Sargon tackling a request to perform some of his staple analysis on Angry Joe's recent opinion spiel on GamerGate, in his opinion of course, as well as TotalBiscuit's just as recent advisory warning to the movement as a whole.

Anybody taking bets on whether or not Joe ends up going the way of Jim? Appealing to both sides of the aisle just doesn't really seem to pan out well these days for the man in the middle. ;)

Especially now that we know Sterling fucked off because he turned out to be waist-deep in Gamergate. He's mentioned directly in the Allistar Pinsof scandal. In addition to being a personal friend of Zoe Quinn and an ally of Greg Tito (who is his largest Patreon sponsor), Sterling is affiliated with Randi Harper (there's someone you want to be friends with - a Meth addict and an individual who laughed it up as her blockbot destroyed the IGDA, one of these peoples' allies), a personal friend of Leigh Alexander, and was covering Anita Sarkeesian's ass so hard during the blastback from the GTAV offensive that I'm surprised he doesn't have shrapnel wounds.

Sterling is going to face the consequences of his actions at some point. Either his involvement with Pinsof's going to come out, he's going to piss off his so-called SJW overlords for not being sufficiently supplicative, or he'll do another video a-la the GTAV one that pisses off his entire audience with the force of a fucking fuel-air bomb. Since he relies on Patreon now to get anything done, he's going to be pensive from this point onwards - mark my words. He can't afford to piss off the SJWs, he can't afford to piss off his audience, and this is going to lead to him doing more puff-piece non-issue non-controversy bullshit like his last dozen videos have been.

That said, I have respect for Joe, but good fucking god is his obvious internal bias showing through. Channel Awesome's been in a downward slide for a while due to an increasing presence of certain individuals who shall remain nameless, and their bias against Gamergate is well-documented. Joe won a lot of respect with his "This is why I am neutral" speech on the forums, but he blew that goodwill in a matter of hours because he wasn't willing to buck his patrons hard enough and he did barely any research. Throw in some obvious trolling from the likes of Bro Team Pill to provoke the dude, and you have what we've had over the last few weeks. Joe would've done well to shelf the "top controversies" list and just go on with 2015. There was no way in fuck he was going to win this.

That's pretty much why I find this is going to be a replay of that ballad, except I distinctly remember defending Jim's position based on trying to see it from his own domain, surrounded by a good handful of people who wrote his checks and would not take kindly to a blatantly moderate voice. Except when he turned out not to be moderate at all; as you were so kind to call back, Jaimas, and he turned out to have already dipped his finger in the cookie jar. I don't consider Joe much of an anything in this case, never watched his videos, and too often plays shit up for the views because he won't get a real job. WHILE I will admit he does some manner of good on part of the consumer LIKE Sargon pointed out, everybody with half a brain knows he wouldn't be talking about this if he didn't have an ulterior motive of his own, no matter how much he was "called upon" for it if it's too much drama for his taste.

I certainly hope for his sake that he has the foresight to pull out and evaluate the hand that feeds him while he still can, at risk of following straight where Jim's gone.

Joe's smarter than that, though. That's why I have some faith on this one. He's willing to make a stand for what's right even if he's standing alone, and he's willing to take on bigger fish than most critics. Joe is often completely uncompromising, and that's kind of why I have respect for the guy. I have confidence that Joe will pick himself up from this incident, and hopefully better himself over it. The blastback he's going to get from Anti-GG for daring to stay neutral is going to be sufficient to remind him of where the boundaries are, and Joe has a long memory. He's also on damned good terms with TotalBiscuit, who I believe is a positive influence.
 
As much as I take this with my county's entire supply of road salt, it wouldn't surprise me.

Somehow, someway, everything keeps tying back to Zoe. As if it wasn't so much the big gaming "journalist" sites resisted having to report her having slept with big names in the indie gaming community, but rather they all had dangerous ties to the same woman that merely attempting to report on her would be impossible without having to throw somebody else from their little incestual circles under the bus, whose connections would drag down more people, and you folks get the idea.

As in, if there was one person involved with all this shit so deeply with more direct connections than anybody else, such that their exposure would literally be the worst case scenario, Zoe fucking Quinn was that person. The Zoe Post dropping like a nuclear warhead out of the blue just cranked that up to 11, as it didn't even give Zoe's "allies" time to prepare fluff pieces that might have diverted the majority of the trouble by painting the guy who posted the thing being a lying scumbag that was jealous of Zoe's success, so in trying to run damage control they painted gamers up as purely discriminatory towards women as that was literally the only thing they could do to protect Quinn.

It's ironic that her twitter handle was "The Quinnspiracy" since, ultimately, it's an apt description of how much shit GG's uncovered all ties back to her.

It's more accurate that shit keeps going back to the same clique that Zoe is a part of. However on the topic of Zoe the thing that bugs me the most about all of this is the wizardchan thing. She claimed harassment from them, phone calls, twitter raids, and gaming sites covered it without an ounce of evidence. Nobody saw her twitter getting raided or has any record of it which is odd for the internet. Just a few tweets claiming she was being harassed. The Escapist had to go back and state in their article about it that they were given no actual evidence to support Zoe's claim. I just want to point out that DQ failed to get Greenlit on Steam the first time and as we've learned all you need to be greenlit is to just get enough yes votes to show that there's interest in the game. So nobody gave a fuck about DQ the first go, then she claimed she got harassed by wizardchan and it got her enough press for her game to get greenlit.

She's pretty fucked up.

TB is also on good terms with Sterling, who's ties to the Anti bigwigs is well established. Joe is affiliated with Channel Awsome, which barring WTFIWWY has become a cesspit rife with these people over the past few years. I haven't gone there regularly since Spoony left.

the only reason to watch Channel Awesome is Based Brad Jones.

Yeah, the fact that TB is buddy-buddy with Sterling is a massive red-flag. Also, I vehemently disagree with TB's "we need to stop focusing on sjws/LWu's, sjw's aren't really, because it makes us look like we're about harassment" bullshit, it's impossible to deny that SJW's are real, and how intertwined the sjws are with Gamergate. Effectively everyone who is anti is either an SJW, or a fool who can't look past their noses and question anything the media/people like Jewkeesian tells them, because you'd have to be either a lunatic who thinks women always tell the truth, or a seriously thick motherfucker who actually believes that there's been a coordinated effort to harass women out of gaming for the past 6 months, despite ZERO EVIDENCE TO PROVE THIS, as opposed to it ACTUALLY being about wanting ethical reform to the gaming press and radical feminist/sjw agendas not forced into gaming, and going into any Gamergate friendly discussion board, as far as I've seen, indicates the latter is the reality.

Or you're just willfully ignorant for the sake of your worthless fucking agenda.

What pisses me off further is that ever since, there's been a whole lot of people on KIA and 8chan crying about "MUH PR", fuck PR, the mainstream media is never gonna show our side honestly because THEY'RE the ones being attacked for corruption, and anyone thinking we're a harassment group for calling the SJW's and LW's out on their bullshit is "harassment", than they've already drunk so much of the kool-aid that they're well-past the point of rational thought anyway.

I don't trust TB, his insistence on us not paying attention to SJW's (when ignoring them isn't going to make him going away), and this isn't the first time he's said this, and his connection to Sterling, yeah, I seriously question his motives. I've questioned his motives for a long time. People need to not listen to him just because he's TB. Fortunately, I believe enough people see through his bullshit idea from the other day to not let it steer GG in the wrong direction.

And no, I'm not saying TB is untrustworthy for merely wanting to ignore the sjw's, it's his connection to Sterling (which is bad enough on it's own, because of the things he's said and done and his very dubious connections), combined with his insistence that we ignore the sjws (some of whom are connected to Sterling), that makes me highly suspicious of his motivations.

TotalBiscuit has proven himself to be concerned with ethics by being transparent in his job and engaging in discussion when GamerGate broke out, and being friends with people who aren't so upstanding doesn't diminish that, because his actions speak far louder than his words or personal affiliations. It's not about trusting someone or not, it's about whether their ideas or advice is valuable. Don't dismiss advice based on the source, evaluate the advice on its own merit.

James Portnow wrote an inspiring speech about standing up for the medium in the face of controversy, but when push came to shove, he failed to walk the talk and even smeared TotalBiscuit. That doesn't invalidate his advice or ideas; I think they're very valid right now, as is TotalBiscuit's.

I'm only disagreeing with him here because of I don't agree with what he's saying, his connections make me suspicious of him that's all. Tho I find it really hard to believe, given his actions, that he could possibly be secretly in cahoots with the sjws.

Anyway, speaking of koolaid:

http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/20...suspension-after-seen-urinating-in-reservoir/

"A $111,000-a-year San Francisco water manager will likely be suspended after he was seen urinating in a reservoir that supplies drinking water to nearly 2.5 million Bay Area residents."

And now we know what's in the water.
 
I mentioned this like five times, but we can't divorce the Literally Whos from Gamergate because they're the people who are being exposed by it. Remember Brianna Wu's recent PR Blitz for Revolution 60 by portraying herself as a victim?

Francis York Morgan powiedział(a):
Look at who is the editor-in-chief for GamesBeat, VentureBeat's gaming section. It's another person listed in the original GameJournosPro group, Dan Hsu. So was Dean Takahashi, the writer. Make of that what you will.

These people are so in bed with one another that they're inseperable from the issues associated with them. Zoe Quinn and Brianna Wu are like fucking quantum singularities of corruption and collusion. You know Seven Degrees of Kevin Bacon? With Anti-GG you can play that fucking game with Zoe Quinn and you won't get past four. Literally everything involved with Gamergate's analysis of corruption has centered around these fuckers. You can't remove them from the problem because they're central to it.

Next up is the alternate blue archer. If you keep up on gaming news she may seem familiar - her appearance is loosely based on feminist games critic Anita Sarkeesian. Anita’s work has been an inspiration to the TowerFall team. Her “Tropes vs Women in Games” video series gave us a valuable new lens through which to assess our character designs. TowerFall is about bringing people together, so it’s vitally important that the cast of playable characters makes everyone feel invited to join in. Simply put, this wouldn’t have occurred to me if not for Anita, and feedback from players has reinforced how important it really is. We’re very excited to immortalize Anita in a small way, as the alternate Last of the Order.

So miss Sarkeesian is now a "fighting fucktoy"?
