The Sperg Pit

[kiwifails]

There is no way Sargon stuck anything in Milos chumbucket, that's where black men keep their AIDS.

He definitely did.

Dave Cullen! He's been basically crushed by the algorithm. He always seemed to be the GG'r with the least personality, so it's not surprising. But it's like they went after his channel personally.

Who was this guy??? I fucking forget his name...

He was basically just a hippy. Sperged out hard at the kind of right wing turn everything was taking. Seems like he was a complete degenerate from the start.
I know ChrisRayGun in is in that video, but he honestly wasn't involved in GG. He started his channel right when it ended.
There's also Bearing. Far as I know he's married to Sugar Tits now.
Teal Deer. I don't know what happened to Teal Deer.
Thunderf00t was also part of GamerGate and then fell out with everyone following it, also because of how right wing things were getting. He's now constantly sperging out about Elon Musk on his channel and he seems to have honestly lost his integrity about it.

Do your own fucking research if you don't believe me you claim to be a part of gamergate but you're not and you never were. Otherwise you would know these things.

 

[MagnesiumCorp]

This was ten years ago.

Socks!

She was basically GamerGate's newscaster. She did regular update videos throughout at least the beginning of the controversy. Her newscast style videos were so important to the controversy. I don't know what happened to her. I'm seeing talk that she turned out to be a pedophile?

We made so many songs like this.
It was just a fucking fun time to be on the Internet.

The Internet just hasn't been this fun since then tbh.

I don't know what's up with that thumbnail. I didn't see the thumbnail before I posted it.

 

[MagnesiumCorp]

I don't know. Honestly Josh seems closest to the spirit of what we were doing back then. I don't really have much of a problem with him.

I'm trying to think who else. TotalBiscuit. That's a real obvious one. First leader we had. And then he proceeded to back out as hard as he possibly could because of things getting to right for him (and they weren't really that right wing at the time). Then died of ass cancer. I used to watch his Secret Hitler videos religiously. And Hearthstone.

God listen to those lyrics. We were so fucking dumb. "The extremist boat was a sickening sight." "But with moderate opinions Jon sowed them in."
We really thought we were "moderates" fighting "extremists". We had no fucking idea what the fuck was going on.

 

[MagnesiumCorp]

Bro Team Pill!
He's still around. Still does videos. But out of everyone he seemed like he might actually just be an insane person.

Still love his shit though.

I'm sorry, we're so far off topic, we would need a fucking jungle expedition to find it.

 

[MagnesiumCorp]

Oh yeah. Boogie. Boogie was part of GamerGate. Yeah...

 

[MagnesiumCorp]

THAT'S RIGHT. We fucking had a porn star too! Mercedes Carrera. She did the Fine Young Capitalists thing.

Apparently she turned out to be a pedophile.

I remember her on Twitter, because every time there was a thread with her in it, all of her fellow porn stars would flood into it just expressing disgust with her and with us. And I swear they invented BLACKED just to post it in our threads. I can't prove that. But I never saw it before those threads, and I saw a ton of it on those threads.

I'm not going to say that BBC porn was in response to GamerGate. But it sure as fuck exploded around that time.

 

[MagnesiumCorp]

God damn it. I'm a fucking grandpa rambling about my experiences in the Great Meme War.

 

[MagnesiumCorp]

Bro Team Pill!
He's still around. Still does videos.

Wait, shit, no he doesn't. Fuck... What happened to Bro Team Pill...
Okay. Sorry everybody.

 

[Nektar Geist]

Honestly Josh seems closest to the spirit of what we were doing back then.

Please explain the logic underlying that conclusion.

I don't really have much of a problem with him.

Quelle surprise. At least you do have some kind of problem with him. What would that problem be?

Going off the bollocks you wrote about the Nips, I'm thinking you are full of shit.

 

[Gargamel]

Instead Kotaku, Polygon, Giant Bomb, these were the just about the only way people got game reviews.

Are you sure about that?

 

[kiwifails]

Once again our boy here makes a total ass of himself by pretending to be a part of something when he isn't.
@MagnesiumCorp dude stop pretending people totally called you out for it. Don't even know the basic lore you barely know any of the actual streamers that were a part of it and if you were actually part of gamergate you would know it started with a internet aristocrat video that was a call to action.

 

[MagnesiumCorp]

Are you sure about that?

Game Informer! Got damn the constant nostalgia on this thread!

The point is you weren't turning to YouTube for game reviews in 2014. You were turning to a journalist. Kotaku, Polygon, Giant Bomb, IGN, and GameSpot were the just about the only way people got game reviews. Game Informer was the other way. But all of them were journalists and the power of journalists in the gaming industry was MASSIVE compared to what it is today.

Nope. It started with the Zoe Post:

thezoepost.wordpress.com

Then the twitlonger blog by TotalBiscuit:

TwitLonger

www.twitlonger.com

Then the actor who played Jane on Firefly (cool guy cool show if you haven't seen it go watch it) coining the term #GamerGate on twitter.
TB's twitlonger is usually sited as the beginning of GamerGate.

TB did some videos on GamerGate before anyone had ever heard of Internet Aristocrat:

But then bowed out of the controversy because he was too liberal for that, and spent every day until his death trying to pretend he hadn't be a part of it.
Jim's very first Quinspiracy video was 2 days after the twitlonger:

And as TB stepped back because of his butthurt, Jim took more and more charge of it. Until Sargon upstaged him with his bigger platform. He was honestly the leader of GamerGate for just about a month. Then it was Sargon for the next two years.

Going off the bollocks you wrote about the Nips, I'm thinking you are full of shit.

I lived there. It's what I learned. If you want to go spend years living in Japan so you can tell me I'm wrong about them, feel free.

Please explain the logic underlying that conclusion.

We were the first to do exactly what Josh is doing. Calling out SJWs, calling out a slut for her disgusting behavior, tracking the money and opposing grifters, we were doing all of that. And he does it with more or less the same attitude we did it with. I think we were honestly having a lot more fun than Josh seems to be having. But I see GamerGate then as being pretty similar to Kiwi Farms now. He's carrying the torch.

Quelle surprise. At least you do have some kind of problem with him. What would that problem be?

He presents himself far to much as the arbiter of truth. Which was something we never did. None of are leaders called themselves leaders. Because none of them were leaders. The term influencers had yet to be coined, but they were probably the first influencers to have a major cultural impact. Keep in mind, PieDiePie had just happened almost on the day GamerGate started.
He's also way too censorious and moderates his board way too hard. Everyone, from Sargon to Hotwheels, supported almost completely unfettered free speech. 8chan was almost completely unmoderated.
It would be nice if we could get some of that free speech back in here. But people have spent ten years now "canceling" people, and it seems like that attitude is everywhere these days.

Again, this is bollocks. POLITICAL CORRECTNESS. This is older than you. Alt comedy of the late 70s early 80s,dude. Rik Mayall had his Rik the Poet bit, which was mocking thick, mummy and daddy rich chatting shit about cultural marxism. This was not your Vietnam, kid. Get over it...

Again with the Royal We. GaymerGate, if you remember being there, you're a faggot. 1. It was just shitposting 2. You guys lost. Look where we are now.

Dude, the fact that you think the broom is,in any way, about "Muh Freeze Peach" means you are a fucktard, right? You have wasted your entire life, this is proved, by the fact you wazzed 3k on some Furry Anime Avatar temptress, didn't you?

Technically you're wrong again it was Monday Matt that that published the first video and got the ball rolling however it was Jim that led the raids

MundaneMatt publishes a video based on the "The Zoe Post". The video is shortly unavailable. MundaneMatt claims that this is due to a DMCA claim against his video by Zoe Quinn. The claim in question is horribly written and not something one would expect a proper claimant to make.

Even though the Zoe post happened it wouldn't have been known without the highlighted videos amplifying attention to it.
The internet aristocrat or Jim is known as the father of gamergate because his video actually gained the most traction and was still widely available and was in dmca'd off the internet also it is widely speculated he led the first initial raids under a troll account

The main page for this topic is Gamergate. In case of wild gator or sea lion, use our list of Gamergate claims to correct their fragile interpretations of reality.
Gamergate is what happened when the reactionary wastes of flesh rejects of 4chan teamed up to be the personal army of an abuser and attack women who make and write about video games with a molecule-thin veneer of being a consumer movement for "free speech" and "ethics in video game journalism". These are their stories.

August 15: Eron Gjoni's early draft of his diatribe against his ex-partner Zoe Quinn appears on Something Awful, Penny Arcade, and other websites. He gets banned from them as a result.
August 16:
Eron Gjoni publishes "The Zoe Post" on Wordpress, accusing Zoe Quinn of infidelity. This time the post is shared to 4chan's boards /b/, /v/, /pol/, and /r9k/.
(Note: According to the IRC logs "The Zoe Post" was later edited by Gjoni; Gjoni's original accusations were later debunked by himself.)
4chan users already begin to form their preferred narrative for Gamergate, insisting that they focus on the Nathan Grayson claim, as well as the other alleged partners, rather than use misogynistic insults to attack Zoe Quinn, as the mob wants to turn Quinn's "social justice warrior" allies against them.[note 1]
Eron Gjoni pretends to condemn the harassment against Zoe Quinn, while also admitting that he spread his blog on various forums such as Penny Arcade and Something Awful specifically in order to create a backlash against his ex.
MundaneMatt publishes a video based on the "The Zoe Post". The video is shortly unavailable. MundaneMatt claims that this is due to a DMCA claim against his video by Zoe Quinn. The claim in question is horribly written and not something one would expect a proper claimant to make.
(Note: The tactic to use false DMCA claims as a means to discredit an opponent had been pioneered by hacker, white supremacist and former GNAA leader Andrew "weev" AuernheimerWikipedia during his harassment campaign against game developer Kathy Sierra.)
August 17:
Eron Gjoni also spreads his defamation in the forums of The Escapist, finding an audience willing to listen to him. The Escapist's forums would be a major hub for proto-Gamergate activity, despite attempts by the staff to contain the bile.
The first larger Reddit community to pick up on Eron Gjoni's defamation is /r/TumblrinAction, which rehashes a previous shitstorm against Zoe Quinn started by the Wizardchan community in 2013.
August 18:
MundaneMatt and others gather in the #BurgersAndFries IRC channel and begin organizing a harassment campaign against Zoe Quinn, giving it its first name: "The Quinnspiracy." They immediately start talking about doxxing Quinn and others. In their own words, "WE'RE CRASHING [QUINN'S] CAREER WITH NO SURVIVORS" [see IRC logs @ Aug 18 17.23.09]. The mob coordinates with Internet Aristocrat (among others) in the release of his video.

I've noticed that he has a tendency to immerse himself in online communities and movements, often to the point where he seems to lose sight of his role as an observer. He becomes deeply invested in the conversations and activities, and may even start to see himself as a participant rather than just a viewer. While the online interactions can be engaging and interactive, it's worth noting that there's a distinction between being part of the audience and being part of the action. And our boy here @MagnesiumCorp has definitely lost the plot when it comes to that.

Well, this is the board that accused me of being Chase for a month, so I'd like for you to consider that you might not have the clearest picture of what is and isn't true.

I don't need to, I just have read about their culture a lot more than you. That's what I mean by bollocks. You wrote the most revisionist guff I've ever read.

Nah. Bs. If you did, you'd know about the Maiji Restoration and it's cultural impact. It's one thing to read about it though, and it's another thing to see it first hand.
My goal in life is to move back to the Saga region. It's so beautiful there.

Again, this is bollocks. POLITICAL CORRECTNESS.

I don't know why you'd declare it "bollocks" and then suddenly say "POLITICAL CORRECTNESS." Full stop. I don't know what you're trying to tell me with this.

Alt comedy of the late 70s early 80s,dude. Rik Mayall had his Rik the Poet bit, which was mocking thick, mummy and daddy rich chatting shit about cultural marxism. This was not your Vietnam, kid. Get over it...

Listen, did I say we invented it? No. You're reading what you want to read, again. We were carrying the torch for people like George Carlin. And we knew we were. We looked up to George Carlin. We intentionally tried to emulate him as much as possible.
UNDOOMED!! Undoomed, the senior citizen GamerGate leader got popular by... being one of those people. Looks like he stopped YouTubeing last year. It's okay. He's in his 70s now.

Again with the Royal We.

No royal we. Let me post the song again.

We were all part of GamerGate. We were all constantly fighting on twitter, creating memes and infographics, organizing boycotts.
It was a real everybody fights, nobody quits sitaution.

1. It was just shitposting

You're not wrong.

2. You guys lost. Look where we are now.

Yeah, I see it. Now imagine where we'd be if we didn't sink the multi-million dollar SJW infested journalism company that was launching constant attacks on "cis white men".

Dude, the fact that you think the broom is,in any way, about "Muh Freeze Peach" means you are a fucktard, right? You have wasted your entire life, this is proved, by the fact you wazzed 3k on some Furry Anime Avatar temptress, didn't you?

I'm going to make a fan out of the $300 I have sitting in this desk drawer and wave myself with it like Richie Rich.

A poor incelman's version of Lenny. Figures. And again with the "we". You really do develop parasocial relationships.

Now imagine where

STFU Should of fought harder.

This Never Happened. You did give 3k to some bint larping as a saucy rabbit, tho.

tl/dr: Looks like we have found a replacement for SSJNonce.
