Apparently we're "Imploding" because of the Rapp events. (self.GamerGhazi)

AngryDM が 投稿

I know /r/Drama has become just another toilet hangout of KiA/TiA affiliates, so maybe it comes at no surprise, but apparently this subreddit is "imploding" because of the Rapp events according to them.

Could someone direct me to the implosion?

To be clear:

The mods are aware of the resurgent campaign against Rapp, including a new wave of propaganda.

We would appreciate it if those allegations were not posted here. We are speaking directly with Rapp regarding how best we can offer support. For the time being, we would rather not Ghazi become a place that further spreads information that GamerGate (and people targeting Rapp separately from GamerGate but still intending to make her miserable) dug up and used GamerGate to propagate.

This subreddit has "imploded" so many times according to others we're now a white dwarf subreddit.

Can we be a red dwarf subreddit instead?

Can we send The Inquisitor to pay a visit to all of the GGers? Just once? I know they'll still have the same parents, but that's a nature vs nurture question I don't want to know the answer to.

I dunno. Remember how he spared Rimmer and the Cat, because they could never be better than how they turned out?

Damnit.

By their own low standards, they we're acquitted.

When reactionaries have nothing to focus on, they'll produce something from nothing. ie, they'll lie. And everyone in their echo chamber will compound on the lie until its tall enough to feed the collective confirmation bias.

I dare wonder what /r/drama was linking to.

"There is a problem with this, this is not good"

"OMGLOL THEY ARE SO TRIGGERED!"

It's always astounded (in a horrified way) me how Gamergate has cultivated a culture of utter credulity. Twitter is an amazing place to start lies rolling, as the limited character space means that even more or less complete thoughts can lack nuance or context that drastically alter their meaning. A direct unaltered quote, when presented within the daisy chain of impulsive angry retweets can wind up being supporting a completely dishonest conclusion.

Way back when this shit was getting off the ground I had a friend of mine from my high school days tell me with a straight face that Dan Olsen got sent straight to jail for "distributing child pornography". He had apparently been one of the folks who fled to 8chan after they got to be too much for 4chan.

Lol.

I did talk to police. Twice, actually. Once about a possible SWATing, and once about the pile of unfounded allegations. Heck, I still have the second officer's info around here somewhere. He even told me I could arrange interviews with their unit if I wanted to do any sort of follow up articles, videos, or other content.

Well, at least Gamergate tried. Give em a D- for results, A+ for sadistic maliciousness.

Listen and believe, but only if it means a chance to dishonestly smear your enemies.

[–]Sinnach 9ポイント10ポイント  (9子コメント)

Eh, there is a fair bit of outrage on twitter. Mainly because gg is openly gloating about doxxing someone's whole family and spreading it.

I think ghazi doesn't do the 'GG did something horrible to soandso' posts because it paints a huge target on that person and doesn't really help?

[–]GhaziModsThe Collective[M] 14ポイント15ポイント  (7子コメント)

We're talking with her directly regarding how to handle everything. She's currently targeted by KiwiFarms, KiA, and /ggrevolt/, so it's not a fear of painting a target on her back but a concern with offering support in a proper manner.

This is why we've been removing links and comments about the new wave of propaganda, because we don't want this subreddit to be another place where the propaganda spreads and further causes her stress or frustration.

So uh the jump in subscribers and lurkers is from where? Or do I not want to know the answer.

[–]colbyklausi'm bad holoy sto 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

lurker numbers likely come from kiwifarms. they've got a watch thread for this sub, and they took notice of our other thread about rapp by posting it directly in their thread digging on rapp.

that's most definitely where the brigade on that thread came from.

JFC, the lows these people will go to never fail to disgust, will it?

I also appreciate what you guys are doing, team.

[–]AngryDM[S] 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

Ghazi is apparently Twitter then.

And I thought Twitter was in a slow decay because of people losing interest over time and it becoming an entrenched toilet of alt-right assholes.

[–]mo60000Canadian Ghazelle 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm absolutely disgusted at what a lot of people are doing to Alison Rapp.There is no justification for all the awful things they are doing to her, her husband and her family. I seriously hope she's doing okay. I wish there was something I can do to help her.

People of Ghazi. I am sorry. This is all my fault.

I had a dodgy Indian takeaway and have been suffering some severe implosions (and some unpleasant explosions) ever since. I guess with them being sewer people they got... wind of it.

[–]cardboardtube_knightNever Go Full Ethics 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

It sounds like them trying to encourage like minded people "Our enemies are on the fence. They fear us so much and there is only a little time left for them."

In reality they say this same shit every time anything big happens and is picked up here.

[–]RogueLadyCeruleanSocial Justice Sailor Senshi 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

I gotta say, this is the neatest implosion I've ever seen. I expected it to be messier for some reason.

[–]Model_OmegaSoviet Canuckistan-er 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

With that I think we've "imploded" so much I should call CERN and tell them we've discovered the secret of obtaining Nuclear Fusion.

[–]DubiousMerchantSea Lion Tamer 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

Drama subs have always been hubs for trolls, stalkers, bigots and brigadiers, even if they like to pretend to be more sanitized.

To be honest, I don't think the sub handled the whole thing very well, but it could have been worse and a low level of discourse isn't really comparable to harassment/stalker mobs. It only seemed to last a few days, anyway, then blew over, as it would have everywhere in an ideal world. Not a huge shock that folks hanging out in a drama sub reach for dramatic exaggeration.

Truth be told, the dissonance between "You're a horrible person for buying anything from Nintendo!" to "The new Zelda has the option of choosing between a boy or girl? Awesome!" was jarring. Though to be fair, that former reaction was pretty overblown.

The weird thing is that there wasn't much of a schism throughout the whole thing. I mean, if the sub would have imploded, events that would have been more likely to do it include Maddy Myers and Brianna Wu criticizing the sub, Black Lives Matter protesting Bernie Sanders, heck, the Clinton/Sanders race in general.

She's a women with an opinion on the internet who wasn't quiet about it.

[–]colbyklausi'm bad holoy sto 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

she said something about localization or games that gaters didn't like (if i remember, it was about how localization isn't the biggest issue in the world).

and because of that, she was given the GG-Patented background check, it's just that this time they got some help from a "we have some gaters but overall aren't gamergate but we do have several threads focusing on gamergate targets with a lot more activity than any of the threads we have focusing on gaters themselves" forum.

anything they found in the background check was used to retroactively justify why they were digging and why they hated her, and they've gone as far as doxxing her family, among other things.

[–]GreyWardenThorgaSocialJusticeZordon 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

This is because of the GameZone article?

Like seriously I have no idea if there's any truth to that, and I really don't care. What does it matter exactly? That's not the point and never has been. Gamergate targeted her because she spoke out against them, and then came up with multiple self-contradictory justifications after the fact.

I'm so sick of their bullshit. There is only /r/drama because these alt-right asswipes are creating it.

"That's fucked" == triggered

"That's very fucked and pointless" == imploding

"That's disingenuous, easily-refutable bullshit" == DESTROYED with LOGIC AND REASON (1:55:32)
