God help you if you get your news from any site in the Gawker network. I think at that point even /r/news would be an upgrade.

You're right though, they know rage sells so they try to make you mad to get clicks.

The mods delete stories arbitrarily, for one. I didn't know about the Ashley Madison hack for 16 hours after the story broke because the mods were deleting stories about it. I was pretty pissed, because that was juicy and Reddit is where I get my news. I think I finally found out about it from an Advice Animal.

LOL finding news from advice animals memes. Why would they want to conceal news about such a hack though?

I have no idea, but they did. It wasn't until later in the day, like I said 16 hours after the story originally broke, that they started letting posts through.

(Like many subs) it's an echo chamber of people shouting one side of issues. comments and posts breaking the Circlejerk are quickly relegated to downvoted obscurity. showing holes in the narrative through presenting alternate sources is not welcome.

90% of stories is a repeat of some variation of:

  • anti cop. there are no good ones. every police officer should be put down.

or

  • anti large company. profits are evil.

[–]palsc5 12ポイント13ポイント  (2子コメント)

What? You think anti-cop and anti-business stories make up 90%?

Together they make about 50%ish. Bernie Sanders is a god posts make up the rest.

kotaku is cool if you wanna read about gaming though the critical lense of intersectional feminism. if u want to hear more about a game's trans-inclusitity and less about gameplay, then kotaku is the place for you. if you play GTA and are outraged at the fact you can also harm female NPCs, you'll love Kotaku. If you believe the lead character from Unchartered is a white, cishet, colonialist, racist, shitlord male and should be replaced by a genderqueer, homosexual, trans-african, otherkin penguin..... then Kotaku is where u should get your gaming news. if you are worried that playing mario bros reinforces harmful sexist tropes and causes women to wear pink and hide in castles instead of trying to become the CEO of a company, Kotaku should be your browser's homepage.

    This is almost all online-based news these days.

    Check out the book "Trust Me, I'm Lying" by Ryan Holliday if you have the time - a fascinating look at what goes on behind closed doors at these kinds of sites from someone who actually manipulates them to his own advantage.

    In short:

    • Writers for top sites are paid by eyeballs to their content. With hundreds or thousands of news outlets fighting for every little story they can find, only the most ridiculous, emotion-inducing (fear, rage, etc...) stories win. Facts and sources don't even really matter.

    There's a lot more behind it, especially on the manipulation side, but that's the general gist.

    One of the silliest parts of the manipulation side is the idea of "tiered" news sources and baiting the bottom to get to the top. Basically the lower-eyeball, hungrier, desperate sites will print just about anything you tell them without looking into much - because they have to, especially if it's an exclusive. They are desperate and just need new shit. Mid-level sites "hunt and gather" from these seed sites to find interesting, unique stories. They don't look into the sources because they assume that the previous source did. Then the dogs (even the 'highly respected ones') will feed from the mid level guys using the same assumption that the legwork on proper sourcing has been done. And this is how a lot of news manipulators get 100% false, or ridiculous, or whatever stories into top news agencies - they poison the bottom with the right kind of angle that interests the top and it just "trades up" until it's news.

    I'm not sure why people have a problem with this comment. Maybe because it's the truth? If Gawker didn't do this, someone else would fill the void, and it would just be someone else making money off the people who live for that sort of thing.

    [–]EternalOptimist829 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

    People just don't want to take responsibility for their actions. It sounds rude to say it that way but it shouldn't cause it's more about being overstressed and overworked than it is about being lazy or dumb. It's human nature, and everyone does it (I'm by no means immune to it or anything) They want to watch football and give the NFL money with tickets and merchandise yet blame Gooddell when the players on the field get injured or start beating their wives. They want Twitter updates seconds after breaking news, but it pisses them off when those same sources turn out to be wrong or sensationalized. They want Reddit to be free then complain when Reddit tries to implement ads to make money. They want to go to Chick-Fil-A but they don't want to contribute funds to anti-gay politics.

    These are all examples of the same principle. It's hypocrisy in one way but everyone does it. I mean I still eat meat but I don't want to know how it gets to my plate. I'll get drunk but not think that I'm damaging my liver as I do it. I just want to enjoy my meal and beer without thinking about it.

    I guess if I had to say it's anything it's that people don't like it when you fuck with their guilty pleasures. Like all these people want to do is read an article without feeling like they are subversively promoting someone else's hidden agenda.

    As far as me I just want a really good chicken sandwich but now I can't enjoy that chick-fil-a sandwich without thinking about how I'm making that bigoted owner more money if I do (and sometimes like a total hypocrite, I still eat there)

    [–]EternalOptimist829 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

    That's actually what I believe, minus the /s I'm going to guess you didn't grow up in a very criminal neighborhood but as an example most of the people I've seen who are okay with stealing shit got that taught to them by their mom or dad when they were kids. Most of the people who do drugs for the first time get the idea from somewhere outside of themeselves. Aside from sociopaths and other mentally ill people, that is.

    I mean society is everything we aren't. There's the inside of our head, and there's society. So if we didn't come up with it on our own, who did?

    Might have something to do with Hogan's video being infidelity released (supposedly) by the woman's husband while Lawrence's pictures being the result of phone theft.

    Hulk's take-down notice was in the midst of a divorce, which he insisted he had no involvement in despite all evidence to the contrary. TheFappening was just naked pictures, not a big legal kurfuffle cover-up.

    [–]BathedInDeepFog 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Which inadvertently cost Hogan his cushy gig.

    [–]Snoozeybutton 101ポイント102ポイント  (29子コメント)

    The grand majority of people did not think leaking women's nudes was a crime against humanity. Whereas most people don't give a shit about the Hulk Hogan tape.

    You don't see people circulating the Hogan tape, nor do you see anyone defending -- really the only people who think about it at all are people using it as evidence that men's bodies are unfairly exploited compared to women's. Meanwhile, when Jennifer Lawrence's nudes were leaked, huge subreddits were circulating them, everyone was talking about them, and the prevailing opinion was that she had no right to be upset and that it was her fault.

    You'd be hard pressed to find someone jerking it to Hulk Hogan's sex tape. His was also released by someone who hated him in an effort to slander him -- which didn't really work because no one gives a shit -- whereas Jennifer Lawrence's were released by popular demand.

    [–]teleekom 122ポイント123ポイント  (4子コメント)

    While this is all true, this behavior is still hypocritical. The editor can eat a bucket of bees for the "We won't take it down" line alone.

    True. I think the above post was just trying to point out a realization that not a lot of people would have about this situation.

    It's always nice to get a little perspective.

    [–]Zifnab25 5ポイント6ポイント  (1子コメント)

    But then we're just in a turn-about-is-fair-play circlejerk.

    If Gawker is terrible for circulating Hogan, is Reddit terrible for TheFappening? Or are both Gawker and Reddit in the right to leak these images? Because if Gawker is terrible, but Reddit is righteous, then you're engaging in the same contradiction as Gawker.

    At the end of the day, I don't see anyone pointing to the Hogan video and saying, "Holy shit, what we did to Jennifer Lawrence was terrible and I regret ever doing it." I just see people announcing "Gawker is run by hypocrites, so points for team Fap!"

    [–]Snoozeybutton 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

    It would be hypocritical if they had the same editorial staffs.

    That said, Gawker is terrible. I'm not defending them. And I'm not defending the Hulk Hogan leak. But OP is ignoring the actual more common response to the Fappening, which was not outrage.

    [–]Versec 39ポイント40ポイント  (3子コメント)

    We are not discussing if one of the two things is better than the other. We are not even discussing the importance of the people involved, who leaked the pics or for what reason. We are discussing the way a sensationalistic, hypocrite, click-baity website tries to pass a violation of one's privacy as news and defence of free speech, while condemming the other. To both J. Lawrence and Hulk Hogan, their life was affectedby those events.

    Gawker is known for outing people and calling it news:

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/gawker-conde-nast-david-geithner_55a90c56e4b0c5f0322d0b2c

    If pictures of me were leaked by someone for whatever reason, I have the same right to justice, even if it is only important to me.

    [–]Clevername3000 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

    So you're saying, 'ignore the context of the situation, ignore what they were writing about, look at the words they wrote!'

    For one thing, Jezebel didn't write about the Hogan tapes, Gawker did. Just because Gawker owns Jezebel doesn't mean they have the same staff or guidelines.

    [–]Snoozeybutton 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Gawker and Jezebel have different editorial staffs, so trying to make a point about their hypocrisy doesn't work. I agree that Gawker is a bunch of shit heads, but OP is trying to make a point about gender double standard that simply doesn't hold up in context.

    except a website with a massive amount of traffic. Now personally I don't think this is some conspiracy where fuckwit Gawker editors are getting together and saying "let's be asshole THIS way!" but it also isn't too much to want to hold the entirety of gawker media to a standard that you shouldn't be leaking private stuff like this, it serves absolutely no newsworthy purpose because the act of dissemination is the only thing that is news. This isn't reporting, it is manufacturing and it is gross if its jennifer lawrence or if it hulk hogan. But thats the problem with hiring a bunch of hacks who have wet dreams about being the next hunter thompson, when all they really are is a bunch of snide dickheads jus looking for a power trip.

    This was my reaction as well. However, it does highlight a double standard that's worth being angry about.

    My personal take is that it's because it's more "okay" for guys to be sexual and sexually active. People are more likely to assume a man will be okay with having his "virility" or ability to get laid showcased than a woman would be to have her nude body seen. This is, I think, the same social phenomenon that stigmatizes male rape victims: guys love sex, right? So he must have wanted it. Hulk Hogan was probably proud, rather than dreadfully embarrassed! It's a phenomenon that hurts both sexes, in the end.

    Anyway, sorry for ranting. I do agree that the point of the post is a bit of a stretch, it's just the topic it highlights that I feel strongly about.

    You're hitting on something important here: a culture of latent sexism hurts both genders.

    [–]Snoozeybutton 28ポイント29ポイント  (8子コメント)

    I agree that sex double standards are absurd, but to claim that society was up in arms about the Fappening and that everyone took Jennifer Lawrence's side is disingenuous, especially looking at this site.

    The vast majority of people saw no issue with jerking it to Jennifer Lawrence's stolen pictures

    I don't think he was referring to the actual people but the way media was portraying the scandal. No one batted an eye when everyone was spreading lebrons wardrobe malfunction but Jennifer has nudes leaked and its a national scandal

    Women's nudity is valuable. Halle Berry got a mil to show her tits in Swordfish. Show me any guy getting anything remotely close to that for showing his junk. People don't really value seeing dicks.

    So at the most basic level, removing all the intangibles, JLaw's nudes being leaked potentially cost her a lot of money.

    Edit: Oops, Halle got half a mil for the nudity in Swordfish.

    [–]Ozlin 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

    You're right for the most part, but it's only true because of our current societal views of women's bodies being in some way different than men's, which shouldn't be the case. Women and men being naked should have equal value, both in what we're willing to pay to see and willing to defend the person's right for us not to see. We're willing to pay more to see a woman naked because we are still experiencing effects of the idea that a woman's body is in some way more virtuous and pure, thus more valuable to trade, which is fucked up. And I'm not arguing to devalue women, but to value all humans equally.

    See this is the kind of discussion that doesn't go on enough about these things - people just removing the shit that's been embedded into us individually and society as a whole and getting an understanding of what's going on and what would be ideal. I wasn't even really trying to make a point with what I said other than to point out that there is something tangible to be spoken of with respect to women's nudity vs. men's nudity, which as you rightly point out is largely because of all the intangibles adding weight to it throughout time. Makes me wonder if there ever was a time somewhere sometime in the past when male nudity and privacy of their bodies was actually more treasured for some reason.

    I don't care really in a MRA sense of things like a lot of people are in this thread, just curious about it all.

    "People don't value seeing dicks"


    News reported everywhere about Lebron James' accidently flashing his dick during game and Lenny Kravitz accidently flashing his during concert.

    It's still controversial, but people won't pay to see it, and press wouldn't pay nearly as much to get such photos.

    Don't think the media's money is what we're talking about here. More-so the fact that the media gets triggered if you want to see JLaw nude, but would gladly show you any male celebrities dick with no problem.

    Totally fair and I don't disagree. If this had just been about the double standard that's held pretty much everywhere across our society, I wouldn't have blinked. But to call out a company for having different opinions across different writers, editors and publications struck me as pretty silly.

    [–]VonFrig 17ポイント18ポイント  (2子コメント)

    One other thing too is that Gawker DID remove the Hulk Hogan video. What they didn't take down was the post it was embedded in.

    Jezebel has its own editorial staff separate from Gawker.

    Makes sense that they seem to have conflicting agendas then.

    [–]yesacabbagez 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

    As a long time reader of Deadspin I can assure that there isn't really a conflicting agenda, that's just the way Gawker operates. If I am correct AJ Daulerio was the Gawker editor at the time of the Hogan shit and he had served as Deadspin editor prior to that. This is just how they operate.

    Michael Sam is another recent example of what they will do. When Sam was drafted late, they had multiple articles about how him being gay dropped him int he draft. When the Rams released him it was all about how he deserved to be on the team. He signed with the CFL and was finally going to get him chance to prove he could play, but once again didn't. At the end of the day what he did on the field wasn't justifying him getting more time. WHen he did walk away a couple weeks ago there was basically no mention of it on Deadspin who had been championing him. They had lost any chance of actually convincing people that he was an NFL player because in the actual game time he had, the performance wasn't there. They picked up the story entirely because he was gay and ran with it just to be the ones covering it.

    I thought that as well but I am fairly certain Gawker wouldn't allow J Law's pics to be headlined "J Law's nudes leaked!!! Quick, click here to view them. They are great!!!". They still decide what's allowed to be posted and approve of these double standards. That said, the easy solution is to just not give them attention. They would implode fairly quickly. But nahhhhhhhh, we like to complain.

    Was about to comment on this.

    They even have their users hate each other.

    Before the kinja thing I got banned from Jezebel because I had a different opinion. Even some of the most know Kotaku users at that time got banned from Jalopnik and stuff like that.

    They do work like different "companies", at least that was years ago when I read stuff from them.

    [–]An_Lochlannach 3ポイント4ポイント  (1子コメント)

    It's less about attacking "Gawker media" and more about attacking the mentality on show here, which is prevalent amongst many media outlets and social media types.

    At least that's how I believe it should be viewed, anyway.

    You're right though, Ricky Gervais and Donald Trump have both been employees of Rupert Murdoch media... I somehow doubt their views are consistent.

    And different audiences. Of course Jezebel is going to hire editors and writers that are pro women. This would only be hypocrisy if they were on the same site, not the same parent company.

    [–]ColdBlackCage 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

    Not surprising, people like to nail Gawker for things that don't even do (and yet, ironically cry about 'manufactured outrage'...)

    Gawker is a collaboration of many, many writers that all post their thoughts and finding onto the same website. Yes, contradictions exist due to this method - but that is not hypocrisy.

    I distain Gawker as much as the next guy, but be sure to dislike and denounce for the right reasons, people .

    But it's not the writers who are deciding what stays up on the website. If the company chose to defy orders to take down Hogan's video, and also decided not to host the JLaw pictures, that's on the company no matter who writes about it.

    It shouldn't surprise anyone that Gawker is hypocritical -- they are low-grade paparazzi. If you're looking to Gawker as your moral compass, thats a you problem. It should be obvious that circulating stolen and embarrassing images of people who have no affect on you is wrong. It doesn't change the fact that tons of redditors continue to see no wrongdoing with the Fappening.

    To be fair, reddit is perfectly capable of hypocrisy. The same people who point out that Gawker is trash hate Jennifer Lawrence for her audacity at wanting to keep her personal pictures private.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the big difference here is that one is by Gawker, a general clickbaity article website, while the other is Jezebel a primarily feminist opinion piece website. All 4 articles were written by different authors. Maybe I'm missing something here, but I don't think it's hypocrisy for these two websites owned by the same company to have a difference in opinion toward leaked nudes. If all four articles were written by the same person, or published by the same website there might something to be upset about.

    But hardly anyone cared about the Hulk Hogan sex tape, and "The Fappening" was one of the biggest events on the internet that year, and one of the biggest events on the internet ever.

    How could you possibly want to compare the two? Had there been a reaction to Hogan like there was to Lawrence, you can bet their headlines would have been different. Or maybe if Lawrence had been a racist piece of shit.

    I don't think it's justified to release Hulk Hogan's sex tapes because he's a racist. I think if J-Law's leaks hadn't turned into The Fappening, and/or if she was racist, Gawker would be taking a different line on this.

    The point of this is sexism, and the accusation is that Gawker is sexist for showing Hulk Hogan's sex tapes and condemning Jennifer Lawrence's. And I'm pointing out the difference in circumstances between them, saying that has something to do with it.
