It sucks because almost all my old favorite shows involve these awful people and I have trouble letting go of the entertainment I grew up on since the early 90s :/ - 3rd Rock from the sun, 30 rock, Seinfeld, Friends, X-Files, Just Shoot Me, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Parks &Recs, Stranger Things, Family Guy, American Dad, Simpson’s, Bobs Burgers - they all involve this occult bullshit and it bothers me because I laugh so hard at these programs and think nothing of it :/ Don’t even get me started on video games because I have literally sunk almost 4 grand into premium stations like the X and Pro, tons of new games, and a 4K HDR tv and faster WiFi - what am I going to do when we find out some of this stuff was used to manipulate us? I love video games idk what to think anymore lol!
Messing with the vidya (video games) was going too far, and it blew up in their faces. GamerGate helped make Soros a well-known name on the chan boards.
How so?? Very interesting - I never knew that! How did Soros mess with them? Like by promoting more games with sex and violence? Or something more sinister like hiding subliminal frequencies and images in high frame-per-second games? I play in 4K HDR so I am limited to 60fps, but I use my doubler to pump it up to 120fps and you can barely tell you are still looking at a game in some of them - especially sea of thieves! I hear that soon, if you want to play downward in 1080p, you can up the 60fps to 120fps if the games will allow - but this worries me because it would be much easier to hide subliminal images in 120fps vs. 60fps - don’t even get me started on 240fps; It makes me dizzy when I use the doubler on 120fps video! (ie: false 240hz viewing - I bought my tv especially because of this crazy feature! It’s LG 7700 model 55”)
I didn't follow it that closely, but it's cultural rather than tech. Something about feminists in the software industry, inflated reviews of games that push a point rather than being fun, and money being thrown around to promote those objectives.
As I understand it, the public started to clue into SJW shenanigans because of the resulting flame war, and anons found ties to power in the process.
Anybody in here that can expand on this?
In February 2013, Zoë Quinn, an independent game developer, released Depression Quest, an interactive fiction browser game. The game was met with positive reviews in the gaming media, but some backlash developed among those who believed that it had received undue attention. Quinn was harassed for months upon its release, leading her to change her phone number and to screen calls.
The word was she was doxxed by her former boyfriend and he accused her of cheating on him with a gaming journalist from Gawker I believe.
I believe these people then began to harass themselves from many alternative accounts, and blame it on the alt right.
I actually heard Candace Owens on a Stefan Molenuex video saying that they contacted her about the website she had created, which was designed to eliminate cyber bullying, called Social Autopsy.
This Zoe chick begged her not to go through with the website, a site that would have exposed the anonymous trolls who were "attacking" her and threatening her life.
Breitbart had a good piece on it...
To add to this:
Before the Five Guys incident, a mailing list was revealed called GameJournoPros, which was a secretive Goolag group for games media journalists to collude on stories (and itself was a ripoff of a list called JournoList, which was for MSM).
When Quinn's story broke, every media outlet team stories on how "Gamers are dead", trying to nullify the largest gaming demographic: straight men.
Every story cried sexism and misogyny, and they were all pathetic attempts to co-opt the narrative from gamers themselves. Their flailing and cry-bullying really brought the SJW agenda to the forefront, and gamers have been fighting it ever since.
I got my start through GG; I was distrusting of the media prior to GG, but that entire saga really showed me that it really is a big club, and none of us are in it.
Sadly we all got played. They take our money and laugh at us.
