Erik Kain's GG Salt - A Gaming Journalist made people salty recently over something related to a dead hashtag

[c-no]

At this point Gamergate isn't just a corpse, it's a bloody pulpy mess that smells like troon tears and neckbeard sweat. Can these people stop dragging others down for "crimes" that most of the time amount to being indifferent to Gamergate. How is being neutral during Goobergate exactly equate to being a full on supporter? The leaps of logic with this shit just confuses me and I have to wonder why these people still care about something that was relevant almost 4 years ago.

Because that would mean apologism. I mentioned this before and I will say it again: if you told this one sperg it was just autism and trolls, you'd be told how you're just "minimizing harassment". Another example of this horse being beaten was shown with some of these people saying Kain's some hack or thinking his articles are shit simply because he didn't share the same ideas they have over a bloody pulp mess of tears and sweat.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

If you still care about GamerGate in any way at all in 2017, you are an idiot.

Complaining about GamerGate in this day and age is like complaining about the Ice Bucket Challenge. It's pointless and unproductive.

The only reason these spergs will even bother mentioning this shit is for asspats (the case shown with the spergs taking swipes at some journalist) or because some other sperg didn't think negatively on it. The only good any sperg in GG can lead to is just reminding those neutral or not giving a shit about it just how laughable those related to GG are.

Since she has first hand experience, Leigh really shouldn't be subtweeting her advice.

I forget. Where does she work now? Have her buddies James Beam and Johnny Walker been able to find her a job?

"I found a year old tweet from someone that was NEUTRAL ON GAMERGATE REEEEEEE"

You know what they got away with? Kidnapping Anita Sarkeesian and raping her! Someone even screenshotted the footage!

Holy fuck the last time GamerGate was ever relevant was just them autistically screeching about Wolfenstein II, we all laughed at them, and they did nothing dangerous to do about it and we all moved on while the game was doing poorly

If you still think they're a relevant threat you're fucking exceptional and go focus more on the white supremacists instead

 

[whatever I feel like]

Isn't Jay Allen (from tweets in op) an insufferable goon?

For these people, not thinking of it the same way they do is still some sort of crime even then the worst GG has in relevancy as of late was KiA bitching about Wolfenstein II. As for white supremacist, they'll just fall under the lines of thinking GG is white supremacy nevermind that the worst it can have are /pol/tards. Also, them saying it started as a 4Chan thing is a funny statement since while it did come from the anus of 4Chan, the site also banned discussion that the GG spergs chose to migrate to its clone 8chan.

If that guy is a goon, one would like to see his SA sperging.

Her bio says she wrote a game called Regins: Her Majesty.

I can't even make a "woman earns 77 cents for every $1 a man makes" gender pay gap joke.

I'm not playing that one. Not because they're bad or anything, but because they're fucking mobile game ports.

I still remember how both pro gamergate and anti gamergate hated that episode.

Well shit I'll definitely take comments by "InnerPartisan" at face value.

At this point, I have even more respect for Erik Kain in how he's just dealing with some of these spergs who think their angry screeching means anything beyond him making a block or tweet. Funny thing with the whole "evil hate movement/right-wing harassment" screeching these people are making is that won't stop on doubling down on what they think GG was. Also lol at the tweet that used the word mansplaining. One may as well mansplain how these people are nothing more than idiots all getting riled up because some guy was neutral to GopherGape, especially since said idiots are treating GG like it was actually a thing the world cares about.

Well, he must be woke or something. He did say Kiwi-Farmers should be flayed alive.

Edit: Erik Kain is now the white version of Ian Miles Cheong.

I dunno where you were hanging out, Robotron, but I specifically remember Pro-GG found that shit fucking hilarious.

Seriously, the thing generated instant memes.

It was Anti-GG that was trying to pretend that it never fucking happened (except for Brianna Wu, who claimed it was about her).

 

[José Mourinho]

Even if it's true that Eric Kain is a pro-Gamergater who harasses women and the second coming of Hitler, the people who are salty about it certainly aren't helping and ironically acting like the Gamergaters they hate: Attacking and harassing him.

That's kind of the running theme, though, isn't it?

I'm reminded of something @Smutley said, and I'm pretty much paraphrasing here, but if GG was all about death threats and harassment (and terrorism, according to Dan Olson), then you'd think it would get less shit at it.

But the thing is, it's pretty much exactly like you said, Pardew: From Quinn on downwards, they've been exactly what they complain about since day one. It's why I lost count on the "Anti-GGer turns out to be a sexual predator" number around 23 or so (especially when two more got caught today). It's why anyone with five seconds and a search engine of their choice can find like fucking hundreds of cases of GGers being sent death threats and harassment, but the FBI and multiple investigations weren't able to find more than a handful of allegedly-GG accounts that were doing the same back to Anti-GGers (and the ones that the FBI did catch sending death threats were third-party trolls).

At this point it's clear that GG's alleged "harassment" it performed was a case of what I now refer to as Ghostbusters Fallacy - an infintessimally small minority being artificially inflated to ridiculous levels to fulfill a narrative. We already know from WAM's investigation that this was the case, as using GGAutoblocker as a control, Women Action Media found that less than 0.66% of all accounts using the hashtag actually constituted "harassing."

What weirds me out is that by now, they have to know that their entire side is based on fabricated bullshit. There's no denying it at this point. They've been caught in the act so many times conducting harassment that they can't not know it. Yet even to this day, long after continuing the charade ceased being profitable, they're still pushing this crap, and I can't, for the life of me, figure out why.

Sunk cost fallacy taken to idiotic extremes.

These assholes blew so much credibility and time on this fallacious horseshit they don't dare recant now, otherwise they have to face it was all for nothing and the true monsters are in their own mirrors.

This.

Also, keep in mind that if they come forward and admit they made up shit, their credibility among casual normies will crater, and maybe other shit comes to light that they don't want it to.

In their case, they'd say their harassment is justified because Kain said shit they didn't like. The only shit they can gain are asspats and making their echo chambers reverberate with their own perspective.

He made several tweets where he said that he blocks people but calls others cowards for blocking him.
