cuz the actual gamers that buy stuff have spat out any journalism cuz of gamergate
so all games journalists will generate nowadays on games tehy cover is hate from a mob of people taht arent even customers
Hmm, I guess they are benefiting from the hate.
Makes more sense that way.
well it depends
if it the journalists only cover the game its bad
if they go "look at this hated game" people will respond by buying it out of protest
Well, makes sense with clickbait actually
yes
You want clicks
"OK guys, well... this gun is cool looking, and it's black, and it fires bullets, so.... it functions. I mean, I hate guns, but I can imagine someone liking this for it's.... power....?"
They still are loosing money last I heard
anyhoo, gotta fly, gonna play heroes of the storm with some friends, i'll be around later
Cya then
It just makes no sense for games journalists to not be gamers.
Well I can say they hate black guns
if they wanted money, they should've gotten loyal audiences instead of spit on anyone that doesn't follow the progressive narrative
Nobody pays for news anymore however
I pay Tim to do that
Just need to replace press conferences with Twitter AMAs
Then maybe there'd be a lot less bullshit
Why do I get the feeling that "What you're saying is" is going to become a longer standing meme?
Also, how long before someone claims that saying "What you're saying is" as a means to take a dig at the left is a form of hate speech?
All I know is 'what you're saying is' is usually followed up by a strawman of what you were actually saying, at least from my experiences with it.
Aye, but since Kathy Newman used it so extensively, I've noticed people starting to use it satirically, like Tim does in today's video
on a related note, I'm wondering if there's any way to persuade Kathy to watch Cassie Jaye's TED Talk - in it Cassie talks about how she used to do the same thing back when she was of a feminist mindset
And to get her to see her "The Red Pill" documentary.
I'm wondering if it could be a good way to prod people into listening to what they're actually being told rather than what they think they're being told
I still need to watch the Red Pill myself, so not sure if Cassie actually explains how she used to think when she started the project
She does. Admittedly, she does spend more time on the MRA's point of view more than feminists, but she does both justice pretty alright. There was one part in there, however, where I am not ashamed to admit that I cried.
Where they were talking about boko haram.
Boko Haram is the islamist group that is against girls being educated if I'm remembering right?
Yeah.
All you heard about them was that they stop girls from getting an education, and kidnapped them that one time, right?
What you don't hear about is what they do to the boys.
They light them on fire.
aye, they don't report that on the news
And that they were killing the boys for months, and often the reports would use terms such as "people" or "villagers", even though they were mostly men, but since there was *one* woman in the group, they used the term "people."
And that that they only got the attention they did from the world once the kidnapped those girls.
Killing men and boys for months, even years, in unimaginable ways such as lighting them on fire.
Yet when they kidnap some girls, the world freaked out.
"#BringBackOurGirls"
This was an important lesson for them, obviously. "Just stick to brutally killing men. Noone cares about the men."
"They light them on fire."
Oh.
