Ok Fuck it, I can do a bit of a list for you if you like. So Quinn I don't give a shit about. She's not exactly a hugely decent person but I don't need her to be. I need her to make good games. Grayson and the other guys committed minor sins by not declaring their connection to her and rallying their buddies in the industry around her against some of her competitors. Forget about the black-listing that happendd with the rival game jam? Various other outlets refusing to support it because it was declared anti woman by quinn?

Wu and Sarkeesian are a developer and ... a Pundit? professional complainer? Hack? I don't know. the fact that the media gave sarkeesian as much attention as they did is sketchy and slightly nepotistic, but that's all it is. It's not on her to not promote herself. It's not even on the journalists to not promote her, but you remember when the media had out backs against Thompson making the same accusations?

There was also Jeff Gertsman who got fired because he gave a bad review Kane and Lynch when the publisher was advertising with his outlet. Blip, you gone buddy.

There's the various journalists working together behind the scenes to push a narrative. UNDECLARED collusion.

There's the black-listing of Liana Kerzner for not toeing the line.

There's various cases of Jornos just blatantly not doing their job AND STILL having a job to neglect to do, be cause fuck you they're our friend and gamers are dead anyway right? see for example: Euro Gamer Vs Adventurine on Darkfall, Polygons Rockband 4 Review by Colin Campbell.

There is a literal army of cases of "Gifts" being given to journos WITHOUT journos feeling the need to disclose them.

The pay for play reviews (You remember the Gamespy Donkey kong shitshow? Actually Nintendo kept doing this, and funnily enough these Games Jornos never seemed to want to write about it. None of them ever called out their competitors. Wonder why? Maybe because they were fucking all doing it?)

And bigger than all of that there is the entire industry working together to dismiss and bury these accusations and labelling anyone who forwards them as misogynists, being openly hostile to their readers and declaring they must be straight white and male in spite of the overwhelming evidence to the contrary. It was a transparent smear attempt to shift focus from their wrongdoings.

AND IT FUCKING WORKED.

Admit it, how many of those examples cited above had you actually heard of? The The Liana one? The Gertsman one? The Mailing list collusion? That about it?

And there you are up there using the same tactic. Anything bad a person does online, well, we can tie it to gamergate can't we? TRUMP was apparently gamergates fault. Gamergate is not a thing anymore. So, no, Gamergate has no interest in Battlefield.

Were it still a thing, it would not have an interest in Solo. That's a movie.

Comicsgate, however much they want to be gamergate, are not gamergate. Chiefly because they do not have comics media openly slandering. They are a different thing entirely. Probably some cross over in people who identify with them, but I'm not going to be copping any shit for what they do.

I don't doubt that some gamergaters hate solo, or hate Battlefield, but it is no-longer a movement.

Re Musk: He openly stated he wanted journalists to be held accountable and journalists started calling him racist sexist antisemitic etc. You... You don't see anything fishy with that?
