A movement or group centered around something they dislike will never, ever be a healthy place. I've been a part of several such communities and I can say from experience that the environment snowballs from casual bitching to creepy obsession, where the most vocal and angry members receive the most attention and encourage others to be just as hateful. Doesn't matter if you're hating on Kotaku, gamergate, SRS, fat people, whatever, that community will just get more and more toxic as time goes on. I personally think gamergate is fucking stupid and I modded /r/gamerghazi for a little while, but eventually left after this group of people (some of whom I like very much) just would not stop bitching about literally the most trivial shit, I swear to god. You reach a point where you're just looking for things to get angry about and that is not a good place to be.
[–]toiracseGhost in the Machine 13 points14 points15 points  (4 children)
This always happens when there's lack of content for the community. People lament the focus on drama in these subs (Ghazi/KIA) and in KiA everyone's said they need to focus on emails, get back to work, back on topic etc.
...but the problem is really lack of content. There's no NEWS so people try to make news. They're experiencing the same problem faced by the media they loathe and there's nothing to stop it from happening. (in ghazi's case, the harassers and death threats senders they loathe I guess)
[–]Michelanvalo 6 points7 points8 points  (1 child)
The "news" they post is "stupid asshole said some stupid asshole shit on a stupid asshole social media site." Like, it's not news. It's stupid shit that people say.
This whole thing has been two sides filled with babies flinging shit at each other.
[–]TheDudishSFW 0 points1 point2 points  (0 children)
"stupid asshole said some stupid asshole shit on a stupid asshole social media site."
This is the best summary I've seen of the general content in both camps.
[–]dick-pimple-lover 2 points3 points4 points  (1 child)
For a very, very different result from the same problem of "no news", check out /r/asoiaf. With no new book to talk about, the theories that people develop have gone from logical (I will never give up on Cleganebowl) to /r/conspiracy levels of insanity (everyone, everyone, is Daario).
[–]toiracseGhost in the Machine 0 points1 point2 points  (0 children)
I actually love the George R.R. Martin is Daario levels of tinfoil. Another one is the Azor Ahai theories. They get nuts. It's so fun.

I'll never understand why people would choose to spend so much time/energy towards something they don't enjoy.
Like the people who post shit about Justin Bieber doing something or saying something dumb. They get all worked up about it, obsess over it, post it to their forum and discuss in an echo-chamber the same reasons they hate him. Just the first example I could think of, but I can't help but feel all these GG people and their confusing myriad of subreddits just help fuel the people they're against.
Like the Anita lady, why do they pay her so much attention? Or anyt other blogger or twitter personality? If they didn't follow them on twitter or scour tumblr for people bashing gamers, then they could just keep playing their video games.
Because at the end of the day this is all just internet twitter-drama, Anita or any other person or group is never going to successfully get video games banned or censored or whatever. If anything, there might be more shitty games in the market or something-but don't buy them?

I think this is the fire that brought the "Anita and Zoe are ruining ethics in gaming journalism!!!" to a boil. AAA games have become progressively more off the rails as microtransactions, bugs, launch problems, etc, start shitting up things.
It's more tough for all of us to lay off not rewarding ourselves (buying games) than it is to seek easy, instant gratification of anger by deciding that gaming journalists are getting sex-for-reviews and, I don't know, something something ruining games by not featuring Mary Sues and endless male protagonists.
I'll never understand why people would choose to spend so much time/energy towards something they don't enjoy.
Low hanging fruit is easy to pick for a reason and all that junk for why people pay attention to gamergate and Anita etc. People get to confirm their beliefs, feel like they're a part of something and get the feedback they crave from it. "Look at this and how gaming journalists are on an email list!" and "Brianna Wu does a thing to respond to death threats!" are karmafarms.
The whole thing used to be delicious, buttery popcorn but the circle jerk against it started getting frothy and the movement itself started being defined by anti-woman rants and death threats. Sad, but as Kurt Cobain said a candle that burns twice as bright lasts half as long.

He left SRSsucks a long time ago. Before it became super duper hateful and constantly angry.
Aka he's got experience with the whole subs devolving into poo
[–]sweetaftonNice meme! 12 points13 points14 points  (2 children)
He was witch-hunted out of SRSs by the peeps who basically make up subredditcancer now.

SRS/gamerghazi taught me that if you take the bigotry out of a bigoted asshole they're still an asshole.

They have bigots as well. They just have different targets.
