The Milo/ KIA drama

EthicsInSTFU · 12時間前

Ah, GamerGate. Welcome to the problems of the left. Having ethics requires you maintain consistent values. Actually caring about an issue leaves you open to charges of hypocrisy if you can't maintain those values 100% of the time.

Milo hates gamers. He is not your friend. He is using you for cheap clicks. Now he is begging you to ignore your values and not boycott his nasty website so he can continue to earn income from you. What kind of ethics are those?

Yet there are idiots in this subreddit and elsewhere who think that someone who danced on the grave of a dead police officer on a public publishing platform deserves special protection from the consequences of her actions.

Or, some people realize that leading a big harassment campaign against a random person is a straight up shitty thing to do.

Although it would be weird for KiA to realize that

somebody who can draw: A clown car (GG, obv) crashed into a tree, leaking gas everywhere. Milo in the foreground, looking toward us, flicking a cigarette behind him into the pool of gas. "It was a good ride while it lasted, GG, but you always knew this was coming."

Milo: "Don't forget why you're here, guys. To be fanboys for me and the publication I'm currently working for. Don't step out of line."

Gamergate: "YOU BET, MILO, SOUNDS ETHICAL TO US!"

Not a misogynistic movement tho lol

Behold... boredom.

Let's not forget what an integral role plain boredom plays in the perpetuation of gamergate. Loud, uncreative, bored people...

EDIT:

lol at the gators who reported this post. It's not like I'm going to accidentally remove my own post.

And consider also how "right-wing" has started cropping up here as a term of abuse. How quickly people forget that it was only conservatives and conservative press who gave GamerGate the time of day. It was a conservative actor who named the movement, for Heaven's sake. You say GG is about ethics in games journalism. May I suggest, in the friendliest and most supportive way possible, that you stick to what you know?

Straight from the horse's mouth.

Police officers are dying all over America, executed in some cases by thugs proclaiming that "Black Lives Matter," in apparent ignorance of the fact that most black deaths are caused by other blacks.

Fuck this guy.

His comment is well upvoted, gilded and most of the comments I see are positive to "neutral."

Some drama, the majority of KiA is very clearly siding with him and his.

His comment has Reddit Gold, because of course it does.

Short version "listen up you pungent, bollock scratching betas in need of a good slap-just shut the fuck up and keep worrying about black people 'kay?"

Alright, I'll respond. I know that GGers are too gentle a species to engage in the sort of cruel and vindictive social media witch-hunt so often staged by progressives, so instead allow me as a distinguished member of the press to share a few thoughts.

I wonder if they realize he's mocking them.

Shame on you. It's not for me to flatter myself--just this once, I'll pass on the opportunity--and remind you what incredible allies Breitbart has been, to you guys and to me, nor where this movement would be without Breitbart spending time and resources sticking up for GamerGate. But if that doesn't matter to you, simply consider what a terrible, meaningless analogy you are making here.

"I'm not going to do this thing I am now doing." Oh so very clever, Milo. Truly you are too devious for us to catch that.

And consider also how "right-wing" has started cropping up here as a term of abuse. How quickly people forget that it was only conservatives and conservative press who gave GamerGate the time of day. It was a conservative actor who named the movement, for Heaven's sake. You say GG is about ethics in games journalism. May I suggest, in the friendliest and most supportive way possible, that you stick to what you know?

Oh that's fucking hilarious. The irony exists on so many levels I need an elevator to get to them all.

I understand of course that much of this is driven by what you guys call shilling, and that the timing is not coincidental. My report into Sarah Nyberg will be out in a few days, maybe less.

Ah the old "not really Gamergate" argument. Good luck with that.

KarateSquids · 13時間前

I can't believe they've followed him for so long. I mean, it takes a special kind of stupid to be taken in by/be oblivious to his disingenuous hate filled rhetoric...

Oh.

SorosPRothschildEsq · 9時間前

lol at one point in that thread Milo cites Gateway Pundit, aka Jim Hoft, aka the guy whose name comes up as a Google verified answer if you search for "Stupidest man on the internet." This is so great.

mfw hitting the Save button on Milo's gilded hatespew and all the sycophantic responses.

Nah but I'm sure they'll shrug off any ownership of Milo's comment there. This is a double false flag right? Like first we made it look like the community disapproves of Milo, then we made it look like they approve of Milo. That post was actually upvoted and gilded (and masturbatorily responded to) by third party trolls.

Definitely rooting for injuries in this fight.

So recently some gators grew tired of Breitbart's brand of unethical right wing tabloid journalism after Breitbart Texas led a campaign against a random woman who happened to make a joke on twitter.

Huh. I thought they'd support that. What made this instance different from all the other times they've participated in a hate campaign against a random woman who made a joke?

QuintinStone · 11時間前

Ohhhh my god, look at this Milo tweet:

And apparently the subject matter is so important that one of them made a thread to discuss the other thread.

what is it with cisgender men and a total inability to say anything briefly

So gamergate is finally noticing that they are being used as a recruiting ground for dubious ideologues?

Young thinks this is a dangerous mentality that can lead to condoning bad behaviour.

You're about a year too late for that.

Police officers are dying all over America, executed in some cases by thugs proclaiming that "Black Lives Matter," in apparent ignorance of the fact that most black deaths are caused by other blacks.

Oh boy, this old dog whistle. Let's imply the issue is black persons killing themselves, please ignore the same statistics that say this show that white people kill each other more than black people do. Except you'll never see right-wingers saying "there's a white on white crime problem".

What the statistic -actually- means is that someone who is a criminal or a victim is likely to be killed or kill those who they are likely to live near. Due to our country's heavy segregation, this means you are very likely to be near people of your own race.

Meanwhile, keep fucking the percentage chicken while ignoring the fact that overall crime has dropped steadily for decades.

My first thought is quite simple. Lol.

My second thought is that it seems that even KiA follow the steps in development of social movements. It's past the emrgence and coalescence phase, and is currently eating itself from the inside out as it attempts to beuracractise. I'm pegging it's next step is either out-right failure, or the movement itself gets co-opted entirely by it's far right elements. Either way I'm really confident it's beginning to lose credibility even amongst it's own members.

The coup begins! It's just baffling it took any of them this long to actually realize that their association with Milo was incredibly hypocritical. Hopefully this is the start of an "are we the baddies?" moment for some of these folks.
