All I know is some woman said something about a women in gaming contest and then 4chan decided support the contest on kickstarter and got to make a character that will be in the game they make. How that relates to the rest of the chaos, I have no idea. Every article I've tried to read talking about it is heavily taking one side or the other, and I don't even know what the sides are.

Some ugly bitch called Zoe Quinn got caught sabotaging the kickstarter and doing sexual favors for game reviewers to give her shitty game good reviews when her "boyfriend" revealed info on some message board, people got really mad about this and the SJWs went crying "MISOGYNY", and shit hit the fan. 4chan lost traffic after m00t sold them out trying to ban the discussion, people getting loldeaththreats, world turning fucking upside down, Personally I don't care much about this "games journalism" and these sites should just be avoided.

Yeah it is a fucking mess, It would be funny if Gamergate ended up like Occupy Wall Street and collapse from within. I've seen crazy shit like GG saying "Gamergate has become a culture!" and Anti-GG saying "Gamergate is ISIS", it has become fucking retarded by this point. At least they managed to pull some sponsors from supporting some of these shitty gaming news sites. It's funny how these people take death threats way too fucking seriously, seriously I get fucking death threats when I play online games.

I think the death threats in question were more of the this is where you live and we know it or the whole gunning down everyone in the public place we know you will be at type of deal. A little different than the banter you'd get playing COD. I mean I personally might not take it too seriously but I can't speak for someone who has been getting a lot of death threats towards me personally and I don't really know how I'd react to that myself.

Yeah, but these people who get death threats like these don't do the right thing, instead of calling the cops and keeping their mouths closed like the cops recommend to do, they go "I'VE RECEIVED A DEATH THREAT FEEL SORRY FOR ME" on the internet, which gives me the feeling that it's fake.

There were apparently some big leaks today. The CEO of Gawker (the shithole """"news"""" network that owns sites like Kotaku and Jezebel) posted on his personal Facebook that he was happy to see that the money he spent paying people to "causing a disruption" was paying off. What it amounts to is that he was paying people to anonymously shitpost on 4chan to derail threads and/or send threats to people on his "side" to appear the victim. People still don't know what to make of it yet. Spoiler +

I am not surprised... Looks like Gawker is dead for good.

Looks like more paparazzis will be following Felicia.

She is going to have to move to her fifth mansion.
