No, It made us realise that 4ch mods are willing to censor discussion to protect corrupt game journos and lump gamers with muh soggy knees. Pushed a lot of people to eightchan, where 4chan is considered a joke now.

4ch won't even let you type in "eightchan" properly, calling you spam. They're afraid of losing users to a platform that's less likely to censor discussion because mods there won't have an ideological bias.

It's the cringiest moment in 4chan and /v/ history because it was the catalyst for the /pol/ takeover we're experiencing. It'll probably never go back to how it was.

Every thread is vaguely about video games and more about social politics and people bitching about women and genders and acting like SJWs are constantly out to ruin everything they love.

Pretty sad. I just stay on /a/ now.

/v/ is worse now than its ever been, that includes two years ago.

The fact that you call *that* cringy just shows how much of a nufag you are.

The amount of shilling, consolewarfags, trapbaiting, /pol/ shills, endless reposts every day, etcetc is literally at the highest it's been since I started coming here in '05.

There are frequently threads wherein posters openly admit to being underaged or coming from leddit. Every single thread devolves into degeneracy or samefagging. Minimum of 5 eceleb threads on the catalog at any given time, cross posts from neofag and leddit, and "meta threads" like this one.

Worst of all? Summer hasn't even started yet.

GG was pretty cringy in some respects but it opened a lot of peoples eyes to how prevalent SJW's were becoming, at least on the gaming side of things. It pretty much pushed a lot of left leaning not-so political people to the right.

If not for GG video games would probably be pushing gender politics about as much as comic books are.

Gamergate was a massive dissapointment.
There was a good fucking opportunity to turn it into something fun and it was squandered to hell and back.
Fuck PR fags, Fuck everyone who decided to play moralfag, and fuck everyone who was dumb enough to donate to feminists as if it would make them look anything other than retarded.

Fuck the mods too for letting it get so bad by forgetting about the streisand effect and thinking mass bannings would ever be a good idea.
Fuck Freddit Breddit for ruining a potentially good roadside imageboard with his cancer, and fuck 80% of his site for being the most paranoid twitchy reactionary motherfuckers to ever live.

I get what they were going for, but they fucked up bad. Trying to have leaders for something that only worked as an anonymous operation was the death knell in my opinion. Too much drama for the sake of drama watching ecelebs and barely anything involving actually doing anything productive

Also the superiority complex makes no damn sense when you realize just about everyone relapsed into Gitmo mode the moment they got any kind of moderation power.
So much for free speech eh?

>>377568253 is right. The industry remained crappy, and ultimately didn't become more or less SJW. Some devs continued shilling it to mixed effectiveness, some devs pushed against it to be contrarian, ultimately Undertale and Bloodborne still wound up sweeping Best of 2015 lists regardless, proving basically nothing.

Nintendo keeps shying away from fanservice in their NA ports, other weeb companies push it into the limelight. "Anti-gamer" articles dried up as journalists looked to DRWRUPOPFH for their outrage clickbait, culture war baiters left to /pol/ and the meme train, and /v/ remained butthurt and shitty.

We did wind up with a decent waifu, but one flavor of the week doesn't justify several months of daily shitposting.

I think it raised awareness among a lot of people who actually play games, even if only in a "this shit actually exists" sorta way. Those who took the "male gamerz hate women lolxd" headlines of what counts as games journalism seriously were never the target, they're already beyond hope.

It changed some things, how important you feel they are is subjective. But GG was mostly satisfied with what they set out to do, journos are better at disclosing things, Patricia Hernandez doesn't promote her lesbian roommate's games without giving notice
>>
>>377571868
Because it attracts clicks, like DRUPWERHPH articles.

More importantly, how has GG impacted the games you play, for better or for worse? Where was the scourge of F O R C E D D I V E R S I T Y like was promised by legions of angry journalists? Where were the armies of weaponized autism ready to take back gaming for pasty white boyfags and their beloved fanservice waifus?

Seriously, where was it? Was it Overwatch? Was it Undertale? Was it Bloodborne? Was it MGSV? For such a big shitstorm it meant surprisingly little.

Which is a dumb parallel, since Gamergate supporters are far less conservative than the general population
>>
>>377572392
I'll talk more frankly.

Social activism is really impressed with the whole concept of "raising awareness" among the public, but it's highly questionable if "raising awareness" even means anything in any meaningful stance. It gives /v/ a reference point to attack journalism, but /v/ always hated gaems journalism. If anything the illusion that journalism was "fixed" wound up killing discussion on the matter.

There is also a not-insignificant overlap between /pol/acks and GG. Not because GG is inherently alt-right, but because both GG and /pol/-types frequently find themselves on the same side of the fence on the matter of "free speech" and accusations of moderator corruption. There are meaningful parallels between the GG drama on /v/ and the various alt-rigth drama waves on Leddit building up eightchan and voat respectively.
>>
When people say GG was a mistake I have to wonder though, a similar sjw fuckening was happening in comics and there was nobody to really offer any real resistance, next thing you know Marvel went full retard, replaced as many established characters with women as possible, packed fucking politics into comics where it didn't belong and are harming the comic industry.
Regardless of how you feel about GG don't ever support sjws, they do nothing but lower the bar of quality and suppress content.

On the other hand, sci fi had the whole "sad puppies" thing and that didn't stop people from trashing the genre and giving awards to shit like "Chicks Dig Time Lords"
>>
>>377572423
And yet gamergate never really did much to become a journalistic watchdog. I'd argue that they never even really had that as a goal so much as decided to throw fuck journalism at the wall to see what stuck. It was downright schizophrenic with people being reactionary fucks over everything.
Eventually it turned into a circle jerk of people masturbating to their favorite E celebs that agreed with them.

I don't really care who was blamed for what right now.
I'm aware of the slander, It doesn't change that gamergate was pulled in every which direction as select personalities attempted to milk as much out of it as possible, and so many of those chucklefucks ate it up.

This. Man, I remember back in 2007 when 4chan would get mentioned on Attack of the Show and we got a huge influx of underage newfags. At the time I thought it was terrible but looking back, I miss those days because while it was shit, at least we could talk about video games without everything being a battleground for a cultural proxy war.

Also, I enjoy how gamegate was what? Three years ago? And there are niggas that are still salty over it.

>>377572450
And of course that had nothing to do with The Fappening which happened at the exact same time and was advertised on every fucking news program as being done by "the hacker known as 4chan!"

Marvel went full retard because of the MCU. With a neverending supply of money, there was nothing stopping Marvel Comics from letting the success go to their heads and go full retard.

Marvel's Comic division is also going out of business.

The ability to filter shitposts (back then, through addons, now natively) has been around for fucking years and the only thing making this site worse is the people who haven't already done it replying to shitty threads without saging. Also sage is invisible now but still works as it always has, but because it's invisible newfags and even people who actually lurk will never ever know about it.

This isn't exactly a bad thing because filters can do the same thing, taking away commonly posted shit-threads made with the same general format or same OP picture... But most people don't even fucking use filters, so the one natural tool users had before a native addon (a tool albiet only ever used properly on /a/) to self-police is gone. I've been filtering this for years and I can safely say there's always been in general 3-4 threads pruned off the front page even at the worst of times. I'm only at 2 right now. I don't really have a point here other than it will get worse because this isn't really that bad.

Honestly the most I'd say is to just lay low and be the best poster you can be and stay on topic. All these confrontational mindsets have just been poison for the site and the internet as a whole, I mean just look at what happened Pepe as a result of us chimping out over a fucking Katy Perry tweet.

Sure, let's just stick our heads in the sand anytime something in the outside world might affect our hobby. That's a smart plan.

Move to ban video games as badly as Australia? Nah, not video games. Lets not talk about it and spread the word to fellow hobbyists.

Plan to actually take a serious action against piracy and the moral and ethical discussions that arise from it that make us better people more informed about what is directly affecting our hobby? Nah, that's DEFINITELY not video games. Mods should just cut off their members.

It's alright man, SJWs will forever be known as fellow-kids-tier puritans solely because of GG, not to say they alone did this, but it simply brought out enough retardation from the side of people who have read two books in their entire lives, one on critical theory, and one Harry Potter book (you choose which,) to resign them into being establishment prudes. You know, I mostly just wanted to see people shitpost and go home, it got a lot worse than that and even reddit-tier but considering the end goal was achieved, and nobody will ever be able to look at an SJW again without hearing Sex Junk playing in their head, i'm fine with it. If these foolish busybodies cared about minorities or poor people they probably wouldn't be cozying up to neoliberals and re-proposing segregation anyway.

Except it was video games. Sarkeesian's criticisms were entirely relevant to video games. She got huge support on Kickstarter, got advertisement and monetary support from famed developers like Schafer, and she even got to present her arguments to actual developers within EA.

The problem with off-topic posts is that it drives away people interested in the topic if enough of off-topic posts crop up and can even risk a thread getting banned. Of course I can just not read those posts, having an internal filter is a skill any seasoned lurker will learn, that's not the point.

The meat of gamergate was on twitter so that's certainly strange that you would put it this way, the threads seemed to mostly be people REEEEEEEEEing about things kind of like this one. I'm not sure but I would assume there wasn't much actual gathering of articles, no email campaigns, nothing of relevance (to what the GG boogeyman was said to be) ever happened here.

>It was terrible, there was some off-topic posting

Is basically what you're saying. This is a normal day on 4chan and it has been since 2007. /v/ is not twitter, most /v/ users back then did not use twitter, nor did they start just for a thing that simply began as shitposting. Much like chanology was just IRL trolling to the normies of the time.

Everything on /v/ is cringy. There's no other board where it's so apparent you are talking to cocky, stupid teenagers (even if you are).

This. Honestly I don't mind to much when there happen to be black characters, but it's a different feeling when they're clearly shoehorned in to appease the sjw's, even more so when it's (mostly) historically inaccurate.

That being said, I wouldn't mind at all if there was a Vietnam War game where the protagonist is a black soldier, because that is actually historically accurate - a lot of the guys drafted into the war were black.

The idea that humans would spend nigh on two decades chatting through virtual papyrus connected by wire and never utter what is essentially "/thread" but for the person who posted first there, and in a way that looks appealing to the eye symmetrically is pretty asinine. More over, it's not really up to me to prove it's old, rather you should be ready to find a way and validate it's newness. I've seen it on "regular" forums for a long time.

No, it was right in the beginning, when it was about holding Kotaku and their buds accountable for taking sex favors and bribes under the table, and then their grouping up to demonize their critics as a smokescreen.

Then it turned into nothing but redditors and /pol/tards whining MUH SJWs REEEE, which spun off into the alt-right. The cause was dead as soon as idiots started wearing "Gamergate" like a badge and following Anita/Wu/McIntosh's attention-whoring like a laser light dot.
>>
>>377576816
>/v/ was changed from anti-SJW into NOT BEING ABLE TO TALK ABOUT SJW AT ALL

And that was a great decision. Assblasted idiots leaving the site was the consequence of that, not the cause.

And I have it to give it to you, 4chan being big is nothing to be glad about, the largest boards (/b/ /v/ /pol/) are all amazingly awful for that same reason.
But then again, cripplechan is the greatest proof that something being unpopular doesn't make it good when the userbase is composed of vocal rejects from the biggest boards of 4chan.

>4ch mods are willing to censor discussion to protect corrupt game journos and lump gamers with muh soggy knees.

When moot fucked off to dick around with canvas it really jaded the culture here in letting people believe that it was really anything goes.

When moot actually had mods that gave a fuck, the mods could do whatever they wanted. They were "no rules", but the mods didn't have any either.

The idea that people are crying that 4chan "censored" discussion is laughable. The mods always had the right to ban anything they thought was cancer.

The truth is, a whole shitload of us didn't give a fuck about your "muh curropt game journos" because most of us didn't fucking read kotaku. It's you newfag fucks who flew in from kotaku who began demanding a safe space to circlejerk about Anita Skarkessian.

It was pretty disappointing to learn it was LITERALLY just another way to say "this" and, worse than that was, it's just an acronym for something people already say. I guess there has to be some different way to say "this" or "/thread", even though those are all pointless posts, essentially being upvotes.

Anita already had a boatload of kickstarter money and was astroturfing all over regular forums which is where she got more, why would anyone from here have bearing on that? Schadenfreude is free, also non-profitable, and that's all discussions from here about any type of gaming culture war (violence, sex, and there's soon-to-be a more abstract concept i'm sure) ever were.

Also Quinn's parents were fucking loaded just like Wu's were. She's a fucking MiniVan Volkswagenburg.

Keep in mind that Milo made fun of people that played video games years before GG, and Sommers is part of a group of people that supported the "video games make people into violent psychos" narrative that Jack Thompson spread.

>even though those are all pointless posts

Alright, so the weird thing here is that's all the internet has ever been, from usenet to now. This is not to say general discussion doesn't rise to the level of thoughtful discourse ever, but this is all just varying levels of speech in a virtual ether. If someone says what you would've said, you can also just plain out quote the post number and post nothing after, it serves the same purpose but I've never seen someone react to that at all.

Existentially, OP is always a faggot. Theoretically, every thread ends. Figuratively, /v/ was never about videogames but rather the experiences and mechanics within. In a perfect world every videogame forum is comprised only of developers in the same way any other enthusiast forum would only be compromised of the industry. That would be real boring, my dude.
>>
People blame GG for a lot of redditors and others like them coming here, but GG wasn't at fault.

In the weeks before GamerGate, a thread TotalBiscuit made on Reddit concerning an indie game dev sleeping with a member of the media to generate positive publicity for her game was deleted without warning.

The admin who deleted the 20,000+ comment thread and permanently banned most of the redditors who posted in the thread was a friend of Zoe Quinn's, the subject of TB's thread. Many redditors were displeased, to say the least.

The Escapist was torn from within during this time, as the forum administrators of the time were a mix of SJW and anti-SJW. Pro-GamerGate threads were allowed for a short time before tensions escalated even further.

A similar situation happened at 4chan soon after Christopher Poole attended XOXO Fest (a feminist gathering) and found himself in close company with Anita Sarkeesian.

A lot of online communities were shaken up when GamerGate happened, but it was the response to GamerGate that was the cause, not GamerGate itself.

I think that long stretch of time where moot didn't post really changed how most people viewed him.

Bullshit, there was only one thread at a time most times.
Once they were banned about a month in along with almost every other online forum on the internet, unprecedented on the internet especially 4chan the place where anything goes, that's when threads got out of control.
A discussion would happen, mods deleted the thread, two posters would start a new thread at the same time, threads deleted others would try but that didn't last too long, an occasional thread would pop up every so often but in effect only a few weeks in GG on 4chan was dead.

No, that is not true, only if they followed the rules and culture of the board, people regularly made fun of obvious newfags that talked in such a way that it was obvious they were new and entitled, wanting their habits to be accepted despite the norms of the site, they were ridiculed at which point they took off because they are not the right type of person to be here or put themselves in check and acclimated to the site, but now all of the new fags have no respect for the old ways and come with huge entitlements thinking that they should be catered to and that everyone belongs on 4chan, when normalfags, the overly sensitive, the moralfags, etc were supposed to be driven off because only ruin could come with them being here.

He also explained to the court the nature of the data given to the FBI as part of the search warrant, including how users may be identified uniquely from site audit logs.[18]

>So what are /pol/ friends end goal?

Probably to make you think /pol/ is all one person. This is easier on a board where people think /v/ is all one person. Also there were 24/7 e-celeb threads since that concept became relevant. Back then it was entirely negative, and did not contain very many, if at all, fans of the e-celebs. That did nothing to stop e-celebs or their fans from existing. It turns out if you stop something in one place, but they realize can just go somewhere else and do it, they take it as a hint that it's now what they do.

Kill yourself. Nothing you posted has anything to do with moot defending free speech. His Sarah Palin case transcript is literally him describing to a court what a GET is.

>In a 2010 interview, Poole discussed his belief in the value of multiple identities, including anonymity, in contrast to the merger of online and real-world identities occurring on Facebook and many other social networking sites.
Funny enough, during this time moot had already left 4chan to rot for years. The idea that moot cared about free speech is so asinine given that you used to be able to get banned for a week for just getting a mod's bad side. moot was never the free speech pariah you make him out to be. I guess moot never spent much time on /v/, so you guys have a different view, but /a/ would never describe moot the same way neo-/v/ does given how much time moot spent on /a/ comparatively.

I'm a /jp/sie first and foremost and moot was an asshole.

But there's no denial that once at a time, he cared for free speech through anonimity, that's why rule 3 was not enforced.

That not only does what you're describing do nothing, it hasn't been put into practice on a site wide basis for over 6 years. Nobody is told to lurk more now. Back when they were, they usually didn't.

>Just like on /v/ casual fags should be discouraged from coming here

FUCKING CASUALS will be a thing long after you or I die. Has it actually stopped any casuals from coming here? Just think about it, casually.

Thread complaining about cringe.

Now it's about thicc, I guess it has achieved its goal.

I hope you realize thicc is a tumblr meme and its proof that 4chan, nay, /v/ is not original anymore.

Yes, for years by simply not having threads about popular casual games, it simply gave casuals no choice but to go to other forums to discuss said games.
Like CoD, everyone understood you did not have Modern Warfare threads nor Black Ops, Halo was also mocked as baby's first FPS, itkept a whole generation of 360 kiddies off the site and everyone was better off for it, unlike now, /v/ is full of the equivalent of 13 year old xbox fags on mics.
The stupidity, the obnoxiousness of the casual gamer is rampant on /v/ now.

There were definitely occasional threads about those, but I assume you mean they never hit bump limit. Whether or not they had people calling kids faggots doesn't seem to matter because this board is now full of Halo nostalgists. If you think they left and then came back, I don't know how much simpler I can make this for you, but I can regal you of a tale. Back when people actually had to lurk more, before chanology, maybe a bit after habbo though I got my first job a a podunk call center. Everyone knew about The Game there. Only some people were from 4chan. Do the math, over time, and you're lucky this isn't objectively facebook and is instead just figurative twitter.

Demographics of the board, I suppose. Also because /v/ is the 2nd or 3rd most trafficked board.

She wasn't created for GamerGate. /v/ donated a large sum of money to an indie game being developed at the time and they let us design a character to get spooked by ghosts. We made a thread and decided on Vivian James.
