Nerdluster writes: Wednesday morning Ben Kuchera published a thoughtful editorial feature on Penny Arcade Report (PAR) that he put together about the state of ad sales and reporting in the games industry. His article covered a good number of topics but the gist of it was that display ads are not cutting it for most publications, internet or otherwise. Ben boiled it down to this: on average a single visitor to a website accounts for half a penny of ad revenue, therefore it can take millions upon millions of those such viewers to turn a workable profit. When all is said and done the numbers just don't add up. This one contributing factor may be a good indication of why so many publications can't make ends meet even though they have record levels of viewership.
Today Ben Kuchera admitted in an entire goddamned article dedicated to this apparently widespread problem, that he still can’t differentiate between the Power and Eject buttons on the PlayStation 4…
The guy's just not a gamer. I net he's implying that he uses kinect to power up his xboxone. ...but that's a feature the Xbox one has..so unless he's only 2 years in, making him a newborn in gaming or he's full of it and wants a raise. Sad....the click bait has reached level sad on the bs scale.
Haha. That's what I thought, is the guy talking for himself after 2+ years?
I must admit I was confused at first but always use the controller to switch it on anyway. Grab controller with thumb on PS button : nothing faster than that.
Like Kingthrash360 said, he isn't a gamer and he isn't trolling. This guy is genuinely mentally challenged.
This is the same person who can't play Doom properly.
https://www.youtube.com/wat...
This is the same person who is afraid of virtual guns (and real guns) and sounds like he's about to cry from playing a VR game.
https://www.youtube.com/wat...
The list goes on and on, I honestly don't know how Ben Kuchera even has a job with his incompetence, oh thats right that most of Polygon, never mind. Guess he won't be fired anytime soon.
Oh come on, I'm a gamer and when I actually need the actual damn buttons I've pressed the wrong one more than once. They aren't exactly labeled nor easy to see and I always turn on my console using the controller, same for putting it into sleep mode. Removing discs I also do using the controller. Maybe once every 6 months I need to (or just do since I'm nearer the PS4 than a controller) use the actual buttons.
Why say he's not a gamer because he probably doesn't use these buttons for the same reasons? And why the hell write a story about it? *shakes head*
I wouldn't bother.
I mean, most normal folks can understand that it's fairly easy to confuse the two slivers, especially if you use the controller most of the time. It's easy to forget.
But then, the original article was on Polygon, which means a lot of muppets feel duty-bound to poop on it from a great height, no matter how innocuous it actually was.
Why do you play video games?
That question seems a bit absurd, I know, but I ask because every once in a while, I find myself in the thick of a quantity vs. quality debate. It’s an important conversation to have, for sure, as countless games have been padded to manipulate our perception of value. However, these discussions often take such a disheartening turn, that I can’t help but feel like I’ve wandered into an alternate dimension, one that could only befit an episode of The Twilight Zone. Expectations of gaming are going to vary from person to person, sure, but there are certain arguments I’ll just never be able to wrap my head around. Jamin Warren, host of the PBS Game Show, is my latest source of bewilderment, because he’s making the case that video games are too long.
Ben Kuchera of Polygon writes "2014 was the year I had to reach out to local law enforcement to explain that a group had threatened to "SWAT" me, an act that consists of sending a false report to the police in the hopes that a SWAT team is sent to a specific address. This led to a conversation with my children about what to do if the police stormed in due to such an attack.
It's been a stressful year.
GamerGate began as an attempt to shame and harass a female developer, and has since spread to include many other targets, including this outlet. The guise is always "ethics," but the weapons are always terror. Addresses are posted online, anonymous threats are made, and lately members of the group have been shown up at people's workplaces."
So no mention of Kuchera bullying Tito into shutting down the Escapist forums to prevent discussion from fostering?
No mention of the multiple occasions of blacklisting by Kucher and Orland's secret list of the Game Journo Pros?
No mention of the journalist who failed to report that 40,000 consumers had their personal information stolen because they were dating an Electronic Arts' rep and they didn't want to damage the company's image by reporting that user info was compromised in one of their games?
How about the journos dating the PR from companies without disclosing it while writing about their games?
How about Ben Kuchera taunting Ben Paddon's sick girlfriend when they were low on money and Paddon had to use the money to buy medicine for her?
No mention of a Wiki editor paid off by one of the ideological groups to keep the GamerGate Wiki page biased?
How about the ABC and CBC journalists purposefully slanting their GG pieces and the executive producer admitting to it?
No?
Well, then it looks like Kuchera would rather support corruption than report on it.
EDIT:
Source for corruption:
http://wiki.gamergate.me/in...
Also, Google up "game journo pros" and ask your favorite gaming journalist why they don't report on the corruption happening in their own circles?
You're asking why Ben Kuchera didn't report on GG's opinion of him and overall, unfounded conspiracy nonsense in a piece detailing some of the harassment he personally received at their hands? Well that's just all kinds of special.
By the way, nice list of "things Gamergate said on the internet so they must be true."
@darkride66
You support anti-gamergate people?!
Things anti-gamergate people said (WARNING: graphic, NSFW, death threats, suggestions for gamers to kill themselves, etc):

"By the way, nice list of "things Gamergate said on the internet so they must be true.""
*post's articles of things anti-gamergaters said on the internet , as if its true
You are some kind of special. Also please try to stay on topic darkride66.. Tho that would be kinda hard considering this is nothing more than a smear piece... what exactly were your intentions posting this?
Funny thing is smear pieces like this are so totally against journalistic ethics.. I guess these bloggers have an audience of people that love sensationalism.
Heres a link to the article for people who wants a good laugh at desperate man
https://archive.today/Sxk1r
Ah darkride, once again submitting anti-GG articles and yet will still say "I don't know what GG wants so I can't be anything but at least neutral because I don't think GG even knows what it wants."
Ben Kuchera writing an article on GamerGate is like Karl Marx writing on the wonders of capitalism. The fact that he would write a GamerGate article, and that you would submit it, completely unironically and without a shred of self-awareness comes as a surprise to literally no one.
Ben Kuchera is a vile human being who tried to exert pressure to get people on competing sites fired because they didn't tow the line he thinks everyone should tow. He tried to pressure The Escapist into censoring discussion about GamerGate, and he repeatedly says the most vile things in general, but also specifically about GamerGate whilst still parroting a mantra that you darkride also parrot with complete ignorance yet total arrogance. That being that GamerGate is a movement designed to keep women out of gaming. Right, because GamerGate has existed for 40+ years and has absolutely no women in it at all and didn't actually help in funding The Fine Young Capitalists' Game Jam for women.
darkride, posting this article was definitely the final nail in the "i'm on the fence" coffin you insist you're occupying. Just waiting for the Leigh Alexander post you'll put up next.
That's because it is wrong to tar a whole movement by the actions of a few. If I get assaulted by a few socialists, this does not mean that socialism is a violent movement based around assaulting people.
This article is biased libel.
Peoples should REALLY see this video:
"#GamerGate - If It's Not About Ethics..."
https://www.youtube.com/wat...
its pretty much the best video about GG on the internet, EXPOSED LIKE A BOSS!
Are you waging a kind of war or something? Yea a lot of people are 'bad'. That should be sorted with the police. Now you know a lot of people think theres something wrong in the media. Because of a few idiots are you going to put everyone in the same basket?
@darkride: You don't even realize how hypocritical you're being, do you?
What's the difference between
"things Gamergate said on the internet so they must be true."
and
"things you, social justice warriors, faux feminists, and corrupt gaming journalists accuse Gamergate of on the internet so it must be true"
?
Why is it that you can decide what GG stands for, and who has taken what actions, but Gamergaters can't define their own movement? That sounds like the sort of thing that happens when people protest something under a communist government; like in Cuba recently, that government cracks down on the peaceful protest under the guise of... well, whatever the hell they want.
You've joined those that have decided that a movement you don't believe in means what YOU want it to mean. Which is the most arrogant, ridiculous thing I've ever heard.
Wow. I love being told by the howling mob what my beliefs are and what I think because I dare to make up my own mind and not be told by GG what I should think. I also love that people seem to think I condone harassment on either side. Here's a shocker. I don't.
Let's have a little exercise in critical thinking, shall we?
Let's take WilliamUsher's first claim above from his "well said" comment.
So Kuchera bullied Tito to attempt to shut down GG discussion on Escapist forums, did he? Let's have a look at that claim from the old Gamejornopro email dump.
Oh. Well you like at that? It's a complete fabrication. He did no such thing. How many other GG claims are blatantly false. I'm not going to tell you. I encourage all to get informed and make up your own minds. Don't just take all these ridiculous claims as fact. Make up your own minds.
Some in the Gamergate community are playing you all for fools to push their projects, their sites, their books, theit agendas, etc. No one is attacking your hobby. No one is coming for your games.
Get informed, question and verify all claims on both sides and make up your own minds. Think for yourselves.
darkride66 are you having a bad day buddy? Don't get upset because Gamergate is winning. That Gamergate crowd is a tough group of mean mommas, that don't need no baby daddies. Leave em be dad-Dio, leave em be. Do you want some McDonalds? Do you want a Happy Meal? We'll go get some McDonalds. I hear they have spy gear or flutterbye toys. If you get flutterbye, I won't judge. Get whatever feels right.

@darkride66
"Don't just take all these ridiculous claims as fact."
- darkride66
Claiming there is a group made up of people of all colors of both sexes that have joined together to attack women is ridiculous.
... but that's what anti-gamergate does claim!
lol
He's being attacked by a "howling mob".
dat self victimizing
dat need for sympathy
I love being told I'm being fooled by a select few, and that I can't think for my self.You really help me see the light darkride
Way to stay on point there.
All I'm saying is stop letting Gamergate tell you what your opinion should be.
Get informed. Research. Form your own opinions. Not surprised Gamergate supporters take issue with that idea. Ask yourself what they're hiding. If they're on the right side and it is about ethics in game journalism, why would they be against an informed gamer opinion on their claims?
And if they have a smoking gun proving widespread game journo corruption and not just a few half baked theories, where is their conclusive evidence? Why aren't they shouting it from the rooftops?
Again..games aren't under attack. Games aren't in danger of bring censored. There is no SJW/feminist master plan to take away your games. It's all tinfoil hat conspiracy garbage.
Do your own research. Make up your own minds based on the facts. Don't let yourselves be turned into pawns by those manipulators who would convince you your hobby is under attack.
Verify your info from both sides and make up your own minds. That nonsense list above is a perfect starting point to research how BS most of GG's claims are.
Now watch them spin and distract by trying to play the victim card. You're up, DragonKnight. Tell us again about the evils of "SJW gods".
On what point?
The points you continuously ignore ? Or the irrelevant points you bring up thats been refuted countless times?
I'm well aware of what you said.We are merely sock puppets who can't think for themselves.I was very on point with my last comment.When you learn that evidence isn't an confession you might be able to see that "smoking gun proving widespread game journo corruption", that has been shouted from rooftops for the past few months.And when you stop downplaying everything these corrupt journalist do and the people that follow them, and over exaggerating everything trolls and gamergate do you might just be able to see that the evidence isn't just theory and assumptions.
The evidence provided is a cause for concern for anybody actually aware of the context of the situation.
Can you show me a comment saying games were under attack ?
What was your intent posting this article ?
Those aren't hypothetical btw
Why do you always try to use the arguments we use, against us? The only person here who self victimized was you.Is this your form of exposing hypocrisy or irony? I must tell you it doesn't work and it looks downright desperate on your part.
I'm done going in circles with you.You bring no new arguments to the table. I feel as if I say the same thing over and over only to realize its because you continuously make the same asinine claims. I won't keep engaging with you on this topic, but I will expose you every time you post an anti-gg article because people here deserve to hear both sides.
btw those "sjw gods" do no evil, only idiocy.Less exaggerations please.
@darkride666: You know traditionally when you say "let's look at ____" and then try to say it's a fabrication, you normally provide a link to support your B.S.
Kinda like this...
http://yiannopoulos.net/201...
Then we Ctrl + F Ben Kuchera and we get these tidbits. All of the following are in reply to Greg Tito looking for advice about the GG forum post on The Escapist.
Ben Kuchera Aug 19
This is the question: People are using your platform to harass a developer. Are you comfortable with that?
(unsubstantiated claims of harassment, asking greg to use his personal feelings to make objective moderation decisions)
Ben Kuchera Aug 19
Someone signed up for an Escapist account just to post that thread, and try to spread alleged details of someone’s sexual past in order to shame them. I’m not sure what your definition of harassment is, but that fits mine.
(Attempting to assert his own ideas and opinions on unsubstantiated harassment claims on Greg in order to make Greg shut down the discussion)
Ben Kuchera Aug 19
Ask yourself this:
1) Does that thread serve your community?
2) Is it making anyone’s life better?
3) Is it actively hurting someone?
4) Is that what I want the Escapist to be?
The answers, are no, no, yes, and I hope not. If using the forums to post hearsay to harass and abuse people isn’t against your current TOS, change your TOS. Don’t sit by and let your community be used to making gaming worse because of a technicality.
(Bringing up irrelevant tripe while trying to guilt Tito into closing the discussion even while admitting that the post is at best hearsay and having Tito consistently rebut that no actual harassment has taken place. Oh, and that bit of telling him to change the ToS of The Escapist to suit Ben's definition of harassment? No, that's perfectly on the up and up.)
Ben Kuchera Aug 19
Yeah, I’m really confused and saddened that this is even a conversation.
(More guilt trips, Ben missed his calling as a travel agent.)
Ben Kuchera Aug 19
I mean, if nothing else now we KNOW the post contains demonstrably untrue things about real people. Serious allegations. Is THAT enough to get you to consider taking it down? What does it take before the Escapist says “Maybe we shouldn’t be giving this a home.”
(Now Ben is saying that things that are allegedly untrue = harassment. Sorry, that's not what harassment is Ben/darkride666. More pressure into closing the discussion based on what he feels is harassment and not on any objective reasoning)
Yeah, Ben wasn't guilting/pressuring Greg AT ALL right darkride?
You want to know the evils of the SJWs? Ask Kaley Cuoco of The Big Bang Theory what kind of a response she received when she said that as a woman that earns $1 million per episode, chose and loved getting breast implants, and is of Hispanic/Caucasian decent, what kind of response she got when she said she's not a feminist and that she hasn't been on the receiving end of any inequality. Hint: It wasn't a good response.
And a hearty "thank you" to DragonKnight for proving my point. See what Gamergate supporters or doing? They take events, they twist them and they tell you what you're supposed to think.
Are we incapable of reading those emails ourselves? Does Gamergate need to tell YOU what to think about what you've read?
And notice that, in typical, manipulative fashion, he cherry picks what he feels fits HIS narrative, and leaves out all of Tito's side of the discussion.
And that, my friends, is why you need to be wary of Gamergate. Research, use the link that DragonKnight helpfully provided and make your own decisions. Don't get taken in by these GG bullies who seem to continually feel the need to tell you how YOU should think. Make up your own mind. Read the emails and see if you agree that Kuchera was "bullying" Tito or trying to shut down Gamergate discussion.
And then ask yourself this? Why would he do that? Why is Gamergate trying to control the message rather than having an informed group of gamers?
If you want to see a real threat to gaming, check out GamerGate's own mouthpiece, Milo Yiannopoulou's scathing review of what is one of the best games of the year, Dragon Age Inquisition. Read for yourself his opinion of Bioware's history and their "social justice narrative" and ask yourself if you want the history of gaming dictated to you by the likes of this guy in his crusade to fight the "feminists" who are ruining our games. You know, just like how they ruined Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Knights of the Old Republic, etc..etc..
Oh wait a moment. They didn't. Those games are awesome. Too bad people like Gamergate's Milo wants to make sure games like that don't happen.
But again, don't take my word for it and don't even pay attention to my opinion. It doesn't matter.
Get informed. Think for yourself. Don't let GG, anti-Gamergate, "SJW's", NotYourShield or any of them tell you what to think. Form your own opinions and when you read a claim being made by one side or the other, research and verify.
Thanks again to DragonKnight for so perfectly illustrating this point.
http://www.breitbart.com/lo...
"Too bad people like Gamergate's Milo wants to make sure games like that don't happen. "
Milo is also white and homosexual, therefore Milo speaks for all whites and homosexuals.Thanks for clarifying that.
"And then ask yourself this? Why would he do that? Why is Gamergate trying to control the message rather than having an informed group of gamers? "
Lmao, why does this sound so familiar? Why does it feel like you constantly accuse gamergate for the things gamergate accuse journalist of doing? Do you think its negative that gamergate wants to control the message of gamergate? If so ( youre completely clueless if you do), do you think it has nearly as big of an impact as major publications controlling the message of an organisation they are against?
Dragonknight posted the article for people to read and showed them how to find exactly what you 2 were talking about... yet he's controlling the message because he didn't post tito side.. more than likely to prevent himself from going over the 4k character limit.
You are some kind of special.It is funny watching you though.
You know what,I will take your advice.I will read everything and come to my own conclusion... Done, still have the same opinion.
Next argument.. As a matter of fact you should go back to the no evidence argument, it made you seem somewhat more rational then claiming a large group of diverse individuals are sheep that cant make up their own minds.You offended a lot less people with your last argument lol
@Dee_91. I see you responding and just a head's up, you're wasting your efforts. When you called me a "racist" because I don't support harassment and think that people should stick to the point, you lost the argument right there and proved you have nothing intelligent to add.
After that little nugget, I put you on ignore and will never respond to anything you say and will never click on you to see what you're blathering on about. That happens when you call people racist because they don't agree with you. Go figure.
I don't want to speak with you. I don't want to hear what you have to say. I tried to be civil with you and you insulted me and slandered me. I don't need you bullying me and harassing every comment I post. Continue to harass me and stalk my comments and I'll take it up with the mods. Prove you're not a typical, Gamergator and when someone asks you to leave them alone, leave them alone. Continue to harass me and prove what they say about Gators is true. Doesn't matter to me either way.
Have a good life.
We've cracked him you guys! He's doing exactly what anita and crew are doing! Don't counter his points anymore guys,its insulting him.Just let him spew his hate with no repercussions.You constantly sling fud about gamergate then claim to be getting harassed when I constantly show you how ignorant your comments are?
I never called you racist, I asked if you were racist and your opinions on race.You not supporting harassment surely wasn't the reasoning for the questions lol.You really do have a hard time with comprehension.Please, don't waste the mods time. There is nothing against the rules about replying to comments, thats actually the point of the comments section.I've always felt like you ignored me anyways..Like how many of my questions have you answered? How many of my rebuttals have you actually took into account?..Like I said, I am here just to provide equilibrium.My efforts aren't wasted, they may be wasted on you, but I realized that weeks ago when I stopped replying to your PM's.However here in public my efforts wont be wasted.People are going to read these comments and come to their own conclusion on this situation, isn't that what you want? For people to read both sides?
I tried to be civil with you too and you "insulted" me by telling me I can't think for myself and that I hate women.The difference being you accused me of those things while I simply asked you a few simple questions about your opinion on race..
...What a shame.The kitchen got too hot..
Nah seriously its cool man, don't take this stuff to heart dude.I still enjoy your comments around here
Happy new years man, I'm off to get wasted and have a good life
"And a hearty "thank you" to DragonKnight for proving my point..."
And here's another example of darkride making claims and providing absolutely no proof, nor examples, of his claim. I provided the proof of what Kuchera did, supported by Tito's replies to Kuchera consistently telling him that no harassment took place and he won't censor the discussion, which Kuchera consistently tried pressuring him into via the blatantly obvious shaming tactics, and you claim I twisted the events. So me quoting Kuchera verbatim is twisting events now darkride? Your brainwashing truly is complete.
"Are we incapable..."
You are certainly incapable of reading them as evidenced by this comment you made which ignores what they say entirely and instead goes off on a tangent about how I'm manipulating and cherry picking even though I provided not only the link (which contains every single email made on that day) but quoted Kuchera verbatim. Why aren't you talking about what was said in the emails darkride? You said it was fabricated yet there's the emails. So? I'm waiting.
"And notice that..."
I didn't leave out Tito's part of the discussion. I gave you the link where you can read his part of the discussion. I quote Kuchera in my comment because you said it was all a fabrication. I didn't have the room to quote Tito as well in the same comment which is why I provided the link for you and everyone else to read. Reaching much?
"And that, my friends, is why you need to be wary of Gamergate..."
Yep, beware of people who link to proof. They are the enemy of emotion based reasoning (which is an oxymoron) and cultural marxists everywhere. It's hilarious how you say I'm trying to bully people into thinking how I want them to whilst A) Ignoring that I provided the material for people to make their own opinions about and B) Unironically leaving out Kuchera's pressuring of Tito.
"And then ask yourself this..."
To create 2 narratives. One, the narrative that supports the "gamers are dead" articles his favourite colleagues wrote. Two, the narrative that GamerGate is a hate movement against women, completely ignoring the thousands of women that make up GamerGate and NotYourShield. Both narratives you've bought completely.
"If you want to see a real threat to gaming..."
Goalpost shifting. This means you're scared and have no argument.
"Oh wait a moment. They didn't. Those games are awesome. Too bad people like Gamergate's Milo wants to make sure games like that don't happen."
If true, then he learned from the masters. Anita Sarkeesian, Carolyne Petit, Katherine Cross, Samantha Allen, Jonathan McIntosh, a.k.a. your heroes.
"But again, don't take my word for it.."
Says someone who never passes up the chance to spout off the same exposition any chance he gets.
"Get informed..."
Why haven't you done that darkride? Why did I have to provide your proof for you? Why did you lie and say something was fabricated, then when it was proven to you that it's not, completely avoid the proof and move off into a tangent of irrelevant goal post shifting?
"Thanks again to DragonKnight for so perfectly illustrating this point."
Hey, you're most welcome that I proved you wrong and actually provided a link to the information you said was fabricated.
@DragonKnight. Wow. You're just incapable of offering evidence without telling people what they should think, aren't you? The link to the emails is right there. Let people read it for themselves and decide what to make of them. Do you honestly think so little of your fellow gamers that you can't simply offer evidence without lathering it up in your own spin?
And what's with the obsession about making sure people have labels that slot them into your near, black and white opinion of everyone? We get it. Everyone who disagrees with you is a social justice warrior. It's sugh an oversimplified view it'd be laughable if it wasn't troubling at the same time.
And there you go on one of your SJW rants again, accusing me of having SJW "gods" and "masters". Do you even here yourself? Do you not realize how crazy and paranoid that sounds? I simply have a difference in opinion than you do.
I can't believe you're arguing with me thinking that people should investigate the facts and make up their own minds.
I encourage everyone to read the emails on question. Follow DragonKnight's link and you tell me if this is two individuals talking about what's happening in the forums or if it's one guy "bullying" the other to censor all Gamergate discussion as the poster above suggested.
I'm not the one trying to spin a narrative here.
Frankly, I think Kuchera writes an interesting opinion piece. I love his punching analogy and I see how his experiences with people claiming to be GG could color his overall view. I've been posting about GG issues for months now and with the exception of one user (rainslacker) I have never had even one GG supporter attempt to discuss the issues raised in the articles.
For simply not towing the Gamergate line I've been labeled, ridiculed, called a racist, harassed, called all manner of names, had one guy try to argue some point he thought I made with articles from an honest to god neo-Nazi propaganda site, had conversations about sexism in games get turned into anti Islamic rants, had users tell me games are for men and should stay that way and seen my articles submitted falsely reported. You scream and moan "anti-gamergate" when something is posted even remotely critical then when I post positive GG articles, no one bothers to approve them or comment.
Seriously. And you people honestly...truly wonder why people who support Gamergate have a stigma attached to them? Clean up your act because no word of a lie, you people are making all gamers look bad.
That's the last I'm going to address your little hatefest here.
@darkride: "Wow..."
You're like a broken record of fallacious content. I quoted Kuchera verbatim, Tito's responses back up what I said, explain how that's "telling people what to think" again. Oh, and you're welcome for the link btw.
"And what's with the obsession..."
No, everyone who disagrees with me isn't a social justice warrior. Everyone parroting "GamerGate is anti-woman" and other similar nonsense is a social justice warrior. Why do I say that? Because they are the only ones who say GG is anti-woman while completely ignoring the women in GG. Kuchera is such a person, as are you. You're welcome for the link btw.
"And there you go on one of your SJW rants again"
No, I don't "here" myself. I do hear myself. See, this is me posting a garbage reply because you're posting irrelevant, off topic tripe.
"I can't believe.."
You would think that that's what I'm arguing with you about wouldn't you? I mean, you lack self-awareness, so comprehension isn't much of a stretch either. I am the one that actually provided research material for people while you made baseless claims. Yeah, you're definitely the one who is the bigger proponent of individual research aren't you?
"I encourage everyone..."
Bullying seems to be your favourite word. I mean I didn't say bullying, I said pressuring because Kuchera was definitely using pressure and shaming tactics on Tito, but you keep going back to bullying. That's very interesting.
"Frankly, I think Kuchera..."
A) I'm not interested in your love of Kuchera, save that for your journal. B) You have most definitely had people discussing GG with you, just not in the way you want them to and not arriving at your end results so you ignore the arguments and goal post shift, just like you've been doing with me this whole time.
"For simply not towing the Gamergate line.."
If by not towing the GG line you mean calling thousands of people misogynists and sexists, ignoring the existence of thousands of women, fixating on what happened in August, and generally being the type of person who is banging a pot screaming "lalalalala" whenever someone tries to give you evidence of how your information, and therefore you, is skewed, biased, and wrong... then yeah you haven't been towing the line. Nice victimhood status attempt though.
"Seriously..."
No we're not. You SJWs/anti-GG are trying to create the narrative that we are, but more and more people are already wisening up to your B.S. misinformation, echo chamber nonsense, and group think. No matter how many times you say "GamerGate has lost" or "GamerGate is anti-women" or "GamerGate is making gamers look bad", the end result has never and will never be in your favour. GamerGate is thousands of people with a specific goal. You people consistently try to undermine that goal and shift focus but it won't work. For every time we have to defend ourselves against your bogus claims, behind the scenes we are working on fighting the corruption that's always been our main obstacle. But you keep trying your best.
"That's the last I'm going to address your little hatefest here."
Hatefest? How very SJW of you. You don't even know the meaning of the word hate, you shouldn't use it like you do.
shush, how are these "unbiased" journos supposed to push their agenda if people on here are speaking the truth?
no matter how Kutchera and Polygon try to twist it, ITS ALL ABOUT ETHIC.

Replies(2)Heyy there goes darkride and another one of his anti-gamergate articles making the same claims over and over and over that has been refuted over and over and over.He went from neutral to anti to flat out despising.
Heres a link to the article
https://archive.today/Sxk1r
