TO DO

Well done for not dying over Christmas. Now put that energy into the new year- this isn't a social club. FIRE EVERYTHING!!

New: WHO Proposes Gaming Addiction as a disorder: Discussion Needed

https://archive.is/X2MBb

Irrelevant of actual addicts, we know this can and will be abused by the usual anti-gamer types to their advantage. If they can't claim games corrupt sane people, then they'll try to claim all gamers are addicted or insane. Other tricks could include hypocritical application- spending thousands of dollars on a mobile app is fine, but binging on a violent or new game when you get it is clearly a problem. Or watching X hours of TV, using the internet, or reading is not deemed addiction when the same amount of time gaming is.

As mentioned in the article's comments, waiting to see what happens won't work. We need to get the pitchforks out now to show we won't be fucked with or take it lying down.

All we have so far is contact info for WHO: http://www.who.int/about/contacthq/en/ not sure if asking them what the terms of diagnosis are would help us by exposing their hypocrisy or lack of understanding in replies, or just give them a guide on how to spin common questions they'll get.

There's a legal precedent that all the stuff Net Neutrality was gonna do (as far as the public is concerned) is already in the constitution! Getting people who were mad they lost Net Neutrality to spread the word might just screw over that SJW bias a lot of big tech companies have had.

> Make Tweets, Infographs and the like to spread on social media (especially Facebook style ones if we're targeting soccer moms like the Battlefront infographic did).

> Write to your senator.

> Repackage the archive to manipulate leftists.

> Keep pushing.

Youtube are now claiming to fix the problem, but there's no reason not to pour gas on the fire.

More voices yelling at them will make them over-react or act to quickly.

We now need:

• Contact info for each company.

• Have weekly email goals.

• Reach out to soccer moms (worked with Battlefront 2)

• DO IT.

Also,

Please update the GG Thread OP for info on OP Goolag.

The /tech/ link might die, but we have a HQ link:

Include both IMO.

Twitter Post Purge: Kill or Break

>>>/gamergatehq/331445

While each of us our free to do as we wish, we should discuss if we attempt to "kill" Twitter (make other platforms more popular so the biggest social media platform isn't censored) or "break" it (keep singing up, keep posting facts that SJW hate, break the safe-space).

If you want to get back into practice sending emails, do the Geek.com thing above, or complain to the PUBG devs they removed camel toe from their game.

https://archive.is/l7QRq

https://archive.is/Ee8AH

It's not about the cameltoe, it's about them giving an inch. PUBG is insanely popular with normalfags right now, we do not want it co-opted by SJW.

Also, Terraria's getting shat on for a period joke (for years female NPCs have become short-tempered on the night of a Blood Moon. Male NPCs also seem to be more aggressive, but usually talk about how other NPCs get on their nerves while female NPCs are aggressive directly to the player)

https://archive.is/RFHno

They're decent folk and have continued to support the game for far longer than most devs would. Send them some love and support so they don't cave.

SJWs are also whining at Soul Calibur 6 director for boobs. Send him some love: twitter.com/achilles_okubo

Counters I can think of:

• Spread word to conservative people, especially figureheads on social media. Make infographs along the lines of "What are they selling?" as the title or tagline- since an advert should be for a service or product. The whole "March On Google" thing died when they got legitimate threats against the people marching- someone needs to kick that up again.

• Dig into the legality of it. What are the terms for buying adverts on Youtube/Google? Do any of their adverts violate their own terms? Does anything on the FTC say a political advert can't done on services like Youtube?

• Push Adblock. This stuff really targets the people who aren't smart enough to get adblock- kids (who are the most easy to indoctrinate- funny that). Focus on Soccer Moms on Facebook/social media like that one BattleFront infograph did. I.e.

> Adverts on Youtube tell your child what to think at a young age! Look at these screencaps political adverts! If you're jkid is influenced to buy a toy from an advert- what will political campaigns do to them?

> Here's a guide how to install "Ad Block"- to make sure your child doesn't see such awful influencing political ads.

Outside the kids, everyone uses adblock or is such a consumer whore they're a lost cause. But don't be afraid to inform the older and anyone else who doesn't want to see that crap. The more people cutting off Google's ad revenue- the better.

• Push Hooktube. Same as the above, with the added bonus of zero data tracking/telemetry (as far as I can tell). It's harder to explain to Soccer Mom's however (people sell info about a lot of users to work out how to sell them shit in the future. And possibly the government).

• Disnod Google. List of advertisers here:

>>>/gamergatehq/331413

What to do here:

>>>/gamergatehq/331425

The more ads that pull out, the more political and polarizing the adverts left are. It encourage's an "Emperor's new clothes" moment- getting more voices to say "hey, Google's political isn't it?"

Co-ordinate efforts on the /tech/ and HQ threads:

The fact some of us have forgotten how to Disnod is disgusting.

OPs aren't as thorough now, and yeah we need advertisers. A lot more. And if you can combine it with "problematic" videos- even better.

Even if it's just those algorithm generated videos (SPIDERMAN AND ELSA USE FIDGET SPINNER VERY FUNNY) are bad since it's a low quality video next to their brand. Youtube also claims they're trying to get rid of pornagraphic videos- I'm sure you'll find something. Just don't send anything illegal dumb-ass, it's a confession you watched it.

Low quality and controversial are what you want. Whether you send stuff that's actually controversial or you include what the left is outraged by nowadays is your choice- but the latter may shoot us in the foot by further reinforcing what they want.

Tailor what you send based on the company. If the companies been on record as being left leaning- show them their ads on a channel that condemns the left or praises the right/Trump. On the other hand, if the channel is proudly right wing, show them their video on the latest rant by some tumblrite. Finally; think outside the box! A food commercial on a video about starvation in poor nations is probably gonna put people off the brand. A ad on going on safari in Africa won't look good on a video about riots in Africa. Most of the political topics have been de-monetized, but I'm sure some of the left leaning political channels have said dumb shit that no brand would want to be with.

You don't have to be a fan of the video you're telling the advertiser about. Just say you saw it via a friend or colleague. However, you are a fan of their brand. Why would you write to them if you're not? Say how you like their product/service, and are concerned how this advert would look next to this video.

How to write politely: http://library.bcu.ac.uk/learner/writingguides/1.06.htm

Remember the golden rules: Emails Work- but quietly.

No one wants to admit they're fixing a mistake if they can help it- since it's a confession of making that mistake in the first place. No one is going to say they pulled out, so keep your peepers peeled.

And no one complains nowadays (hence why SJW made such great strides- we were silent and stopped buying/switched brands, they weren't and badgered until the company did what they wanted). So companies often feel if a person took time to complain, X others feel the same way and may have switched brands. The bigger the company, the greater that paranoia and fear.

The game was hugely popular on mobile, and in markets where mobile did well.

Chinese gaming addiction (fueled by living in a shitty country) won't give it the same effect in the west IMO. It's a LoL rip-off on console, which will charge for online soon.

But even so- you're right about it being suspicious.

Find a way to get the article without the paywall and put it in the tencent thread:

You're right that you can't get them to abandon youtube. But you can make it harder to use the service.

> Advertiser asks Google to make more exceptions to where their adverts appear.

> Google over does it by making it appear on stuff they think is problematic, not just the advertiser.

> The advert is seen less, and the advertiser is less keen to use Google as they don't get as much money.

If the advertiser keeps getting complaints, then they get pissed Google keeps fucking up- putting their brand on "bad" videos.

Eventually, the videos only end up on hard-left leaning content (since Google thinks it's safe and appropriate). People can complain about it being on white genocide videos and the like, and the advertiser complains again. The only other content left is neutral or right-leaning channels that try to remain a-political that just have fun, entertain, or inform… And Google hates that. They don't want the biggest channels on the website to be people not pushing their agenda. Not to mention most of them have been demonetized thanks to their earlier efforts.

Do Google "re-monetize" those channels so advertisers have something to work on, or do they sheepishly apologize to the advertiser and struggle to find where to put their ad.

At least that's one theory. No matter how it goes, the more pressure we apply to Google the better. Pressure makes fuck-ups and hasty decisions.

This is kinda old, but I got this from March 5th, 2016

Haven't been making new archives due to a lack of focused OPs, and the wiki dying didn't help. GG feels like it has a bit of a fire under it again however.

Embed related was put into Youtube's "limited state" (i.e. soft censorship, can't fave, can't vote, can't comment, can't do a lot of shit except watch it or click the URL from another website).

I can't upload the webm as it's too big. But I'd highly recommend downloading this for yourselves (maybe add it to the wiki) and share with others.

>>14081785

Language aside, how would this go about?

Sure we can use a hashtag, but unless anons are looking for it, surely they won't see it (thanks to many websites censorship). Places like Minds and GAB would be OK.

But the main issue becomes- how do we make people want to come back?

There's a "rules for radicals" thing I saw posted ages ago, and one of the big rules was "make sure what you're doing is fun". Things stopped being fun thanks to consensus cracking, shitposting, and a lack of anger to vent into action. So IMO, we need:

> A major target to dig into, and actionable leads.

> A major Disnod OP that anyone can participate in, with weekly email goals so we have maximum impact.

> Something to show we are more resistant to consensus cracking, and do not care about PR like the shills claimed.

>>14081831

Gaming has not been fully conquered and some games do not push a leftist agenda. Now it is fighting back, (((they))) want to burn it all down. "If we can't own it, no one can!"- combined with how freedom of expression can make people think bad things and ask the wrong questions; all undermining (((their))) work.

I'm not saying an indie game is gonna inspire a revolution. But it'll make a guy say something to some other people, those people talk to more people, a lot of people post about it online, etc etc.

>>14082120

>>14082141

So the million dollar question; how do we get them back? How do we prevent that consensus cracking in the future?

Not sure how you can find out what ads he has other than going to the youtube URL and reloading over and over.

Hell, even if he takes the video down, logic dictates ads on his whole channel will be the same until he loses subs or Youtube step in (which if it's on Twitter, won't be long)
