I would be interested to see a factual neutral history of gamergate for those who missed it. The event certainly pushed thousands who were previously apolitical to suddenly care about many issues. On the other hand I don’t really know if the specifics are that important.

We had conversations last month about how gamergate awaken alot of our political consciousness

Gamergate just made me more active. I've always had political consciousness

Too be honest. For me its I dont trust the media now. Being uninformed is better than bein misinformed

well you could be aware of the narrative while not necessarily believing it, but it makes me unhappy listening to nonsense, unless it's so stupid it's funny

I realized CNN was full of shit when that one black guy suggest the missing Malaysian airliner was sucked away via black hole

This was back in high school

Holy shit I'm old

i saw a segment on morning tv once, where they had a guy to talk about how wheat makes you weaker, and i kid you not, he made that con artist trick where you tell a person to stick out their arm and then you push it down, and then he told them to eat some bread, and then he pushed down the arm in an angle which is easier, to show that bread makes you weak, within seconds, and everyone was acting seriously

that con artist trick has been featured on scam school

i saw no indication of it being a joke, i saw no outrage in the news later, nothing

I dont think a 24 hours news channel was a good idea

They run out of good content early on and have to fill the rest with junk

Funny thing about gamergate for me is I already understood how corrupt gaming journalism t & reviewers by them being a bit too mutually comfortable with gaming companies they were & were not unwilling to criticize them too much for being poor or bad games, as well as occasionally sneaking in some favors on the side, but everything changed for me when they became "anti-gamer" & gaming.

Well they already say they dont like the people consuming their content.

they also said many times they don't even like to play games

Gamergate exposed the "journalist and their friends" cabals

Nobody who saw that took the press seriously after that

who saw that and was unbiased

the left still takes them seriously cuz they are partizan on it

I dont know. Even lefties dont trust the "gamer press"

Most ppl just ignores reviews altogather

And look for feedback on social media

What the gamergaters should talk more rn is that lots of youtubers are bought and paid for too

i feel lots do it cuz they need to make up for the adpocalypses

aswell as just shilling for more moneh

Its the exclusivity too

Actual journos dont consider game journalists actual journalists

And I am sure tim is aware of that.

If you get the copy of new game 1 week earlier then other yourubers

You have big advantage in the environment

Youtubers have everything. Actual gameplay, personality and usually the skill to boot

And theres so many of them as well

Well as i said

Big ones are corupted often

money talks i guess :p

big ones get paid lots cuz they have a broad reach

^^

I mean no body bothers with paying the small fry especially, since theres so many
