gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy
Yeah, Tim is great guy
tim is the next evolution in journalism when ever we get of this shit show cycle hopefully
Tim is an anomaly, very few journalist, let alone independent ones, are as unbias as him.
>used to have hate-love relationship with Tim
Loved his work, hated his opinions cus I was much further from the center back when I found him hehe
Pretty sure his work helped me get from the bad influences that were pulling more to the extremes
Well, guess I hated his work at times when it didn't fit my narrative
how can you have a narrative as an individual
I think we were all in a position where we couldve gone off the deepend, but lucky enough to not get dragged in
define narrative
I wasn't individual back then..I was pretty partisan
the group opinion was my opinion
maybe narrative isn't the best word, but you get my drift don't you
AGENCY
holy fuck that took me a while to remember
agency is the capacity of individuals to act independently and to make their own free choices. By contrast, structure is those factors of influence (such as social class, religion, gender, ethnicity, ability, customs, etc.) that determine or limit an agent and his or her decisions.
worldview
yes basically, i had no agency of my own, literally sheeple
to be fair, i wouldve been an sjw by now if it werent for 4chan
i notice all the indoctrination technique used by my school
yea he's been pretty good influence as well
I think I actually found him because he called out someone I watched
sargon is a little bit up his own ass but the people he is criticizing is much worst, so he gets a pass.
not perfect by all means, but he was very moderate and sane voice in the mess I was in
Is it safe to say that if it werent for gamer gate many of us wouldnt be here?
Like i wouldnt have founded Tim if it werent for Sargon, and i wouldnt have found Sargon if it werent for the gamergate thing
I had no clue what gamergate was back then
...Did y'all live in the same place or something growing up? I thought it was always pretty prevalent that people didn't quite understand society correctly. Or maybe it's from accidentally moving from the boonies to higher than expected suburbia as kid (then out of region for college), on my side.
I was forced to learn when every gaming publication, podcast, and my coworkers all universally agreed that gamers are evil and harass women.

I just wanted to play video games 😦
all of a sudden im seeing a plethora of news article calling the games that i love 'a shit'
I knew only basic of goobergate and what was going on but didn't care much since I underestimated how bad it was at first
Well I am like 17 and barely touch video games so I never ended up caring about gamergate at all
Be glad you didnt experience it, although it was enlightening, its was also incredibly stupid
Thinking of it, I was pretty insulated from the whole ordeal at first, because I was never much into social media so only heard about it from the original /v/ threads and stuff before mods banned it
gamergate resulted in me and a majority of 4channer beginning to question the media
because young me assumed that the media is always right
When you've been called a racist your whole life just because of where you grew up, you get pretty inured to this stuff.
GG achieved its goal of instituting ethics policies at game journo sites but certainly did not achieve the secondary goal of changing the minds of those within the industry away from the ideas they bandwagoned on to.
