All I can say right now, when TV Tropes was getting pruned of anything lewd or embarrassing due to some bullshit involving their "image" ...the folks over at 4chan were laughing their asses off >.>

On the scale of importance and profit to control, gaming journalism ranks pretty damn low. It makes no sense to assume somehow *game* journalism of all news is the one with the Illuminati style conspiracy controlling it.

Ultimately, game journalism has no real effect on anything because many free reviews are available separate from major game sites. If you want the "Straight Scoop" on the quality of a game, you can find it. Easily. If there was some sort of conspiracy, it's being run so poorly, the Amoeba Boys must be leading the effort.

Ah, but that's what I've been saying. It's NOT just about gaming journalism. That's only how it started. That's how we found out about it. But it goes much deeper than that.

hehehe

Olay, seriously, are you a troll? Your levels of Poe are off the charts.

I'm not even going to bother replying to you two anymore. Your stupidity is incredible.

I've been accused of being part of this grand conspiracy. I *gasp* talk to some game journalists on twitter. Not even anyone famous enough to get on the big conspiracy chart. Now people think I'm part of a DARPA funded effort to talk over the web?

Cool

I should start wearing a trenchcoat with the collar up and skulking from shadow to shadow

Oh, we're being payed by DARPA? Makes sense, since they invented the Internet. So where's my check? I'm owned at least 19.84 Shekles already.

I know right? I had no idea until LTM filled me in. Then again I had no idea I was plotting the destruction of free speech until someone told me on twitter. If I'm being honest this my first government conspiracy and I don't think I'm doing that well :-(. Hope I still get invited to the next one

LittleToyMaker, take a look at these:

Here's the thing, given enough people and enough free time, you can build a convincing sounding theory about literally *anything*. Those are examples of theories based on fictional works with limited information to build upon. We have an entire internet's worth of data to pick and choose from to build a coherent sounding theory based entirely on coincidences.

Making a logical sounding case for how something COULD happen is not proof that it DID happen.

Except these things absolutely did happen and there is plenty of evidence to prove it.

I thought you said you were going to stop posting here.

As much evidence as what you have provided when insinuating that Takyon was in on it, and then accusing Vorp of definitely being in on it in the last page?

See this is the sort of thing that robs conspiracy theories of credibility. If someone disagreeing with you is enough to jump to the conclusion that "they are in on the conspiracy" then how can anyone trust that your other evidence did not require similar leaps of faith in order to make the theory work?

The fact that you automatically say conspiracy theories have no credibility makes you lose all of your credibility, since you are trying to lump ALL conspiracy theories together.

Okay, so let's say that they aren't in on it. Then there is only two other possibilities:

1. They are ignorant of the facts, but are willing to learn the facts.

2. The are willfully ignorant and no matter what anyone says, they will refuse to accept the facts even if evidence is handed to them.

Judging by their posting behavior, I'm going to say that they proooobably fit into category 2. And this is assuming they simply aren't in on it, which is something I've come to assume from people who say the same things as every other shill (because they all read from the same playbook).

However, regardless of all of this, this isn't just a conspiracy theory anyway. For something to be a conspiracy THEORY, it must be an accusation of a conspiracy which has not been completely proven without a shadow of a doubt, even if there is evidence to support it.

This is just plain a conspiracy. There is plenty of evidence proving a great majority of this is absolutely truth without a shadow of a doubt. But there are different levels to this conspiracy, and while we have deduced some of them, we have not yet gotten to the bottom of the entire thing.

But some things we DO know, and are PROVEN with EVIDENCE and are NOT ARGUABLE:

1. Zoe Quinn slept with some people to get positive press for her game.

2. These people (and Zoe herself) have numerous connections to gaming journalism, indie game development culture, a PR firm called Silverstring Media, and numerous other people and groups that create a giant ball of conflict of interest. We know all of this due to public Twitter and Facebook messages, as well as leaked private emails and chat logs.This is how it all started.

3. The censorship which took place on websites like Reddit and 4chan goes all the way to the administrator levels. This includes people being banned from both Reddit and 4chan for merely inquiring about what GamerGate was even about. Logs have been revealed between moderators and administrators of these sites, explicitly stating that they were removing any content related to it, accusing people of doxxing Zoe and these other people (which pretty much never took place, and in fact I think the only person who actually was doxxed was Phil Fish, but he's an asshole so he had it coming anyway), and blaming everything on heterosexual white males who want to oppress this poor "innocent" (guilty as fuck) woman when it stopped even being about her the moment we found out about all these other connections.

4. Moderators have been banned from Reddit for criticizing these new policies. After being banned, one of /r/gaming's former mods went on the record and said that not only was all of this totally happening exactly as everyone thought it was, but Reddit's mod and admin staff is corrupt throughout and they've even threatened to frame him for distributing CP for his actions in the past.

5. 4chan's entire mod staff was thrown out and replaced abruptly. The new moderators, on orders from moot from leaked chat logs, are now deleting not only GamerGate threads, but any threads that are anti-feminism, fat-shaming, racist, sexist, things which are pretty bad in their own right, but were NEVER removed in the past. 4chan's policy was one of freedom of speech, and as long as you weren't posting anything illegal, they did not give two fucks what you said. Not anymore. Also, just days before the mods were all booted, moot met with Anita Sarkesian (another crazy radical feminist) and discussed unknown things, and now he has suddenly demanded that all of this be censored. Also, during these logs, moot admits that he is being threatened by someone, and that they are demanding that all of this take place.

6. Prior to this, 10 different gaming journalism publications created articles on the same day, with almost the exact same content, calling gaming culture dead, and saying that gaming is full of sexist white males and we should all be ashamed of ourselves. This is obviously a PR stunt, and is likely done by Silverstring Media since they're all connected, as I stated before. And then some days later, someone managed to get into a mailing list group used by many gaming journalists, and leaked tons of emails showing that they were absolutely in collusion, just as everyone suspected all along.

Now, here is where we get into the THEORIES. Everything else I just said is a FACT. This stuff is up to interpretation, but is not without it's own evidence to back it up.

7. An unknown person claiming to be a former 4chan moderator says that several of the big names on the anti-SJW side of GamerGate like Internet Aristocrat and Mundane Matt have been doxxed and if things start to go south for the SJW cause, their information will be revealed. This is however unconfirmed.

8. After following a trail of connections leading from Zoe, we come to a company (which name escapes me at the moment) that is believed to be funded by DARPA. Why DARPA would be involved in this, I don't know.

9. Some believe that this is, from the very beginning, a false flag. That even the Zoe Quinn leak was in fact intentional, and is being controlled at least in part by some high-ranking guy in Gawker. The reason for this theory is that a few months ago, 4chan raided tumblr and got a few SJWs to try and commit suicide. One of the people who tried (and failed) was this Gawker guy's niece. It is believed that possibly, this is an attempt to destroy 4chan in retaliation for this raid. And of course, Gawker guy is tangentially related to Zoe Quinn.

And there's lots of other stuff, but I'm getting tired and don't feel like writing anymore, especially since I know most of you are going to completely ignore this post like a bunch of willfully ignorant tools.
