/gamergatehq/ - #GamerGate and #NotYourShield

I doubt it - it may actually be because he's a pretty far-left guy (he cheered Intel giving femfreq money in the name of Diversity), so his neutral stance on GG may strike them as a big betrayal.

He's visible, and he one of the larger names in the youtube wave that's making game journalism an expensive irrelevance. Getting TB to back down means a warning to anyone else following in his footsteps.

TB also does a good job, just by being himself, of showing how shitty current GJ is: watching one of his videos where he immediately delves into the options screen and starts talking about what's bad and why… it's like a breath of fresh air compared to all the identity politics and consumer shaming that's been offered up.

And of course, being a neutral just means you're a target to these hipsters.

>neutral

>has openly supported Gamergate

Wow such logic.

He's a popular personality they can't bully into submission and it drives them crazy

He's the popular girl. Everyone hates the popular girl.

i could have sworn the GameJournoPros email leak had people on the list constantly shit talking TB

this isnt really news, the mainstream gaming media has had a hate boner for TB for years because hes more relevant then them

>>231299

the journos had allways hated youtubers for making their jobs more and more irrelebant. They were looking for any excuse they could to lash out at the most popular of'em.

TB kinda joined us for a while so that's why they fling shit at him, they would had done the same to Pewdiepie or Angry Joe if they had given them an excuse.

Even if the bigshots are no longer involved the cultist acolites have alrready recived the undefiable commandments from their glorious saint, martyr & saviour Anita to purge this world from the filthy likes of mysoginist harrasers such as TB

>>231323

He doesn't even want much if anything to do with us, he just talks ethics occasionally. It was his post on Reddit about Grayson allegedly getting sex for favours and that being serious shit that should be investigated, it was that post that got nuked with thousands of comments. Game journos know that's one of the first major battles they lost, and TB's been eating their lunch for years before that, so they are proper salty and want him taken down.

>>231299

There's three reasons I can think of for why SJWs hate TB

1) He actually does stuff to help people. I seem to remember he helped build a water pipe in Uganda or some African country which provided clean water for a village. Contrast this to the Twitter slacktivists and they look might inadequate.

2) He regularly BTFOs SJWs. People delight in seeing rip on people like John Flynt or MovieBob. In general he's just too clever for them, again making them feel mighty inadequate.

3) He's a better journalists than most of the paid professionals, and he doesn't even consider himself a journalist. His YouTube subscriber count is bigger than most of the Video Game journalist sites. He gets good publisher deals and probably makes more money than the average Video Game Journalist. As a result the fact that he's better at and more successful in his job than most game journos probably makes them feel mighty inadequate.

So, in summary, SJWs hate TB because he makes them feel inferior. Which they are, so good on him.

TB is good enough at his job that he doesn't need to announce himself as pro-GG. He doesn't need to echo our points. He just exist and does his job, admirably so and with excellent reach/popularity all the while being very ethical and pro-consumer.

His very existence alone is a constant reminder of the wannabe journo SJW of what they should be (if they really wanted to be game journalists and/or reviewers), but aren't.

>>231349

Unlike the cult of social justice, he does actual charity work.

>>231322

There are only two or three mentions dissing him about having a thin skin in that e-mailing list if I recall correctly. There is no barrage of paragraphs professing their hate boner for the guy which is disappointing.

They hate anyone that doesn't go along with the circlejerk. The more prominent the person the more of that hate they receive. His repeated ridicule of tumblrisms triggers the shit out of them, and the format of his videos focuses on consumer issues rather than broadly unrelated social issues, which everything has to be about.

Also TB is rather pompous, which rubs them even harder. Think of how much more annoying movieblob is, because he thinks that he's a lot more clever than he is.

>>231304

>he cheered Intel giving femfreq money in the name of Diversity

Dafuk? His wife sold off Intel actions because she was against that move, and it stirred a bunch of drama.

Yes he's pretty far-left on some aspects, and I think that indeed he was mostly happy about intel giving money in the name of diversity, but he wasn't happy at intel giving femfreq money.

It's because TB is the kind of person that is taking their jobs.

Game Journos are being replaced by Let's Players and Youtubers.

Rather than read some fat feminist's crying about how a game totally triggered her in the first level so much that she couldn't even finish it, they watch someone actually play and provide commentary on the game, as they play it.

They know this. And they are fucking furious.

I believe this is part of why the Game Journos are so ready to shit on Gamers. Because the ones with youtube accounts are taking their jobs.

TB has opinions, these opinions were not fed into his rear to be dropped out of his mouth.

He's also an ex-goon who actually made something of himself.

These are two huge reasons for the hate he gets.

The bigger question is why does he give a fuck?

Pretty sure it was anti gg who ended up driving him into seeing a therapist. But why does he care? These people aren't his audience they're just SJW fucks them hating him does nothing and never will.

He could just sit on twitter all day long if he wanted having a giggle.

The only reason I'm become interested in his channel is because of gamergate and anti sjw shit he sometimes says. I quite enjoy the content but the only reason I decided to watch it was because of all this.

sjw's hatin on him have only made his subs grow.

>>231323

>the journos had allways hated youtubers for making their jobs more and more irrelebant. They were looking for any excuse they could to lash out at the most popular of'em.

This guy gets it. Journos hate him because they're jealous of his success, the rest hate him because he's successful without sucking their dicks.

>>231478

>His wife sold off Intel actions because she was against that move

pretty funny how savvy that was when intel stock dropped after the layoffs iirc

>>231568

The smarter companies know how to fluff the SJW muh diversity bloodthirst without really letting it have a foothold or putting serious money into it. I should know since I work for one.

Appoint a black woman to be "Chief Diversity Officer" and let them cheerlead from the sidelines with no real power. Shove quarterly reviews down all employees throats with 'diversity goals' on them. I think I put down that I ate at a mexican restaurant on one of mine one time with no backlash.

>>231576

Try saying you went to KFC next time.

>>231304

>big betrayal

You don't understand, they hate TB. They've always hated TB. They don't care who he sides with because they never liked him in the first place.

The idea that Game Journos would complain about TB 'betraying' them is laughable at best.

>>231551

>Pretty sure it was anti gg who ended up driving him into seeing a therapist.

Source on this?

I'm pretty sure if TB is in therapy it probably has something to do with the fact that he nearly died and not anything some butthurt landwhale said on Twitter. He's not Melody Hensley.

>>231478

>but he wasn't happy at intel giving femfreq money.

https://twitter.com/Totalbiscuit/status/552783947294605313

That's some pretty high-level faggotry right there.

>>231594

I remember him talking about therapy years ago. It was one of the reasons he disabled the comment section on youtube. He was getting extremely stressed about the comment section an went into therapy.

But this was all before the cancer and gamergate.

>>231637

Methinks the cancer may have been one source of the stress TB was getting. Youtube comments are cancerous enough; having actual cancer made it worse.

OP is bullshitting. It's same reason why people in GG have a hateboner for Schafer and other previously universally loved developers - they are not exactly involved in all this thing, have a pretty passive stance, but they are still once on a while get vocal, and it simply contradicts the general narrative that X or Y group doesn't represent games industry. Total Biscuit is one of most popular critics in PC Gaming, so naturally they hate him for how influential he is. That's also the reason why prominent GG figures are being called human trash by them even if they just show support to GG and do nothing wrong - just the mere fact a person has some perceived power and opposes you makes them look way more dangerous.

And seriously, stop digging for personal life conspiracies, if it's personal, it better stay personal unless somebody from the circle decides to bring it out. Sage because stupid shit thread.

>>231314

> thinking neutral means uninvolved.

You might as well try to demonstrate someone is not an independent because they voted for a democrat. Yes TB has voiced opinions in line with many in GG, he has also voiced opinions I think many of us would disagree with.

>>231652

And yet we don't have any consensus on what we want. I mean, the concrete demands of entire movement, we oppose fucked up journalism, sure, but everyone has their own priorities on what must be done. So I see no reason to exclude TB here, although just like Sargon or Milo or anyone else he's not our "leader" in any way,

>>231652

Yep. When the paid mods fiasco happened, while he was against it over Valve taking 75% of the money, he had the extremely naive view that paying money would somehow attract more talented individuals to the modding scenario instead of hacks and parasites like in a realistic scenario. It was the same defense corrupt journos were trying use for payed mods. Now I am not implying anything about TB with the comparison I just made, its was just a terribly naive thing to say.

>>231660

Thing is, you can change his mind of you explain why something is bad. If your reasoning is sound. He'll accept he was wrong.

>>231659

Supporting discrimination in favor of women and minorities, thinking of Diversity as an end in itself, legitimizing any scam artist preaching the gospel of Diversity, that sounds like the anti-thesis of GG's basic principles of equality of opportunity and no special treatment.

>>231690

I don't remember TB being supportive of any of that, ever, and I followed him on Twitter before GG, so I'm not sure whether I should take your claims seriously.

>>231694

Again: https://twitter.com/Totalbiscuit/status/552783947294605313

That's him saying it's great that Intel gives money to femfreq. Now use your brain and consider what the "diversity agenda" actually entails..

>>231651

>passive stance

You already forgot Schafer's speech?

The propaganda wing of aGGro is basically made up of corrupt game journos.

TB has far more success in the game field than any of them and he doesn't kiss up to them.

They hate anyone they can't bully into submission, but he's better at their field on top of that. You're seriously curious as to why they hate him so much?

>>231698

And while he was saying that, his wife sold her Intel stocks… do you really take everything seriously?

>>231702

"Passive" as in they have their allegiance, sure, but they are not proactive and say something relevant to GG just once in a while.

>>231729

Mr. Shitface outright said that black people, asians and women supporting Gamergate did not exist.

Schadenfreude is only natural when his unimaginative, bloated and untalented studio is dying in an hilarious way because nobody wants to hand over money for garbage.

You're missing a humour gland or a brain if you think otherwise.

>>231737

No, I just think it's disingenuous to turn 180 degrees in how you perceive a person because they sprout the wrong sentence or have the wrong views.

It's SJW tier logic - "this person has wrong views, therefore he is a shitlord human trash, and I feel bad for liking for all the good things he made".

I know he's dead wrong about gamergate, but I don't need to reduce him or anyone else in my eyes to feel good.

>>231314

>>>/reddit/

>>231299

>goon cult has a personal grudge against the man that predates GG.

actually yeah, they all think he's a giant autist because of some posts he made on SA was before he became e-famous. he used to sperg out on SA. (i don't remember anything, it's been a while since i've been on SA)

>>231825

shit i forgot to sage for ecelebs, sorry

I know it's kind of late now, but i don't need to bump the thread with this post

>>231768

Don;t you have a backbone? Mr Shitface was in McINTOSH's privileged white gamerboy video. He had a pinned tweet where he says all developers should listen to Sarkeesian.

I'll just ask it straight away: are you a cuck or a shill with an outdated playbook?

>>231768

>It's SJW tier logic - "this person has wrong views, therefore he is a shitlord human trash, and I feel like I need to get everything he's made censored".

Rowan Kaiser has a Patreon. He's basically shown his true form of a "social progressive freedom fighter" slinging harassment and death threats for lies. If his doners were visible I can bet and win money that he's getting funded by anti-Gamers and worthless hipster trash. He definitely shouldn't be getting away with this. Hitting a bully isn't "harassment" and it never will be no matter how many thousand-dollar hugbox dinners these living slimes pay to have. I'm fucking pissed off about this.

>>231901

He's probably gonna balance it out soon enough with either SJW Lite "we need moar Diversity" BS or some GG-bashing (like when he attacked KiA for not supporting his e-celeb buddy Jim Sterling).

I can't see someone like TB giving up his precious Neutral High Ground.

>>231913

Probably, I still don't get what is his deal with Sterling. That guy is the part of the problem and TB is constantly defending and promoting him.

I dislike TB anyway, I can see when he does good work, but he has a pleb taste and I don't like the e-sport pushing.

>>231910

did this faggot seriously refer to himself as an aspiring polymath? what a pretentious cunt

>>231927

Exactly. He gets hit with slanderous lies and everyone is supposed to care. ProGG get hit with the exact same slander and lies by the exact same kind of people and it's not his problem. Because 2 million subs.

Fuck that guy.

>>231952

He did, and he technically isn't wrong. While he aspires to be one, he has quite readily demonstrated to us, that he is most definitely not one yet, nor likely to be one anytime soon.

I heard he's a relative of Ben Garrison.

>>231953

agreed, while I believe he is a generally positive force I think his desire to distance himself from certain elements of GG really causes him to overcompensate in some regards. When someone hurts his feels on Twitter he goes ballistic, but when we have people on TV calling us fucking terrorists where is he? No he's happy to just let that shit slide.

>>231913

>tfw JIMFUCKINGSTERLINGSON actually defends his relationship with TB

https://web.archive.org/web/20150601000000*/https://twitter.com/JimSterling/status/622927649992605696

>>231299

I know I don't want to seem like that guy, but we have something called ladshaming here in England. Look it up because it has a lot of parallels to what is being done to TB. Those who seek to harass him are scum with zero respect for men, and only target him because of his gender.

>>232048

If he had condemned gamergate as a harassment campaign to drive all women out of the games industry and never made fun of tumblrisms, then they would suck his dick like they do Jim Sterling's, and instead of acting like headless chickens when he signal boosts their shitty streams they'd have a warm glow in their heart that the famous TB thought well of them for helping the needy.

They also don't even think twice about savaging a woman that steps off of the reservation.

>>231594

He took a break from Twitter and entered therapy years ago because he wasn't able to shrug off criticism and hate, but responded to it every time, leading to constant stress and drama. I'd dig out the soundcloud about it, except that Soundcloud has one of those terrible interfaces where you can't get to old things except by scrolling down down down until you run out of RAM.

Finally Jimbo at least pretends to be his friend. Wonder if he's going to drop TB once his viewership grows large enough? Tha'ts pretty much what Matt Lees likes to do. Pretend to be your friend, use your good will and connections to get more influence and finally stab you in the back. Fuck Matt Lees.

>>232038

Wasn't it a heart-to-heart with Jim Sterling that got TB to stop using the hashtag?

>>232056

>They also don't even think twice about savaging a woman that steps off of the reservation.

I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of their women were complete sluts.

>>232059

You poor, poor, console pleb, with your sparse megabytes of RAM… I can't even imagine enduring anything like your plight…

lel, Kaiser tweets protected. Looks like he realised he fucked up, big time.

>>231901

more like he backed down on neutral more

>>231307

This. Right at the beginning of the thread, but is already the best answer.

>>231660

Objectively, there is nothing wrong with paid mods.

You're only afraid some mods you could get for free will now be sold for money, even though you're not entitled to get ANYTHING for free.

>>232073

wasnt that the guy from HumbleBundle?

>>231299

>I think someone high ranking in the aGGro goon cult has a personal grudge against the man that predates GG.

Very likely. TB was an ex-Goon, and as far as I can tell he's left it all behind him.

And from what I've observed about Goons, they're very salty about traitors to their cause.

>>231299

They hate him because he's very influential in the industry in the way they think they should be/used to be.

They jelly.

That's what it boils down to.

They can't bully him into submission or otherwise affect (read:destroy) his career so they're resorting to a smear campaign.

If he wasn't the guy with 2 million subscribers on shekeltube and just some schmoe nobody paid attention to they wouldn't waste their efforts on him.

He's a threat to them because he has the normies ears in addition to having a better reputation in the industry as someone to work with than ANY game journalist.

>>231478

She sold them because Intel's stock has been rising for a long time. They were about to do some restructuring, which will make them fall a bit, so it was a prime time to sell.

Life savings are in those stocks. Selling them because of political bullshit is stupid!

easy there we know you love him, maybe you should leave the house once in a while and interact with real people hmm? yes he says a few good things but he isnt the second coming fuck.

>>231953

Same, that's a big reason why I'm generally unsympathetic towards to TB. That said, I'll still retweet him when he BTFOs SJWs like Blob and John Flynt.

Does anyone have archives of whatever Rowan did?

>>231299

There's three reasons I can think of for why SJWs hate TB

1) He actually does stuff to help people. I seem to remember he helped build a water pipe in Uganda or some African country which provided clean water for a village. Contrast this to the Twitter slacktivists and they look might inadequate.

So, in summary, SJWs hate TB because he makes them feel inferior. Which they are, so good on him.
