dude
calling it GamerGate2
is amazing
Spooky, there is a chance
trump could tweet it
imagine being the intern who has to make that graphic
sargon could win
its at the right time
I posted that
Replying to Polar_ #polar_ I haven't read any of this, is this still about SweetBaby
yes, but also I think it's just salty journalists running hitpieces now
him mentioning it at all is a Sargon victory
It does not matter where
I don't think people actually care that much about sweetbaby continually
but the media is trying to pick a fight, because ragebait is the only marketing ploy that works rn
I am 99% sure it is the American DHS
DHS # EMW-2022-GR-00036 this is the funding grant code, same format the US uses
Canada is also involved somehow
I think both are
Replying to Dialga #god_of_time they already got wikipedia to write a bias article iirc
As someone who used to edit Wikipedia a fair bit
the site is so bad now for anything 2010-Present
There is another org that is funded by Canada also involved
normies defend it to the death, without understanding why people criticize it
it's the same frustration people have with supermods on reddit, but even harder to articulate the problem of
Okay I found the link dialga
a company called baby ghosts, which is a Canadian thing funded by the Canadian governement, works with sweet baby inc
So yeah, its both your DHS and the canadian government
pretty funny regardless
I like that fact that I keep seeing names, being like "wait I recognize that name from Gamergate 1" then sure enough they were one of the relevant people in that
its like how Hitler fought in WW1
They were hiding in their holes until the second gamer war started
Mark kern, ex blizzard dev used the term to describe the situation and I think people started using it jokingly, then the DHS made a presentation against gamergate 2 so now people are all in on calling it that
clout chasing ewhore
I follow him on twitter so that is the only reason I knew about this stuff happening right when it happened, but yeah, he is weird
he's a bit like Azmondgold, but want's to play both side and be both a notable terminally online Twitter-pundit as well as a respected gamedev
He is a weird cringe person, but I agree that sweet baby inc probably is why a lot of games are shit
at least the ones they worked on
dunking on journa*ists is the easiest thing to do, they are subhuman
it is hard not to be the correct person in that situation
have you seen the state of online journalism
they are replacing people with AI to pump out articles
no but really
2024
have you seen it
they just attatch real names to the articles
100% of the staff at the escapist quit
it's all AI
and pretend a persona actually wrote it
every site now is just 100% AI
and people are noticing
but yeah, Polygon/Kotaku/wherever else
have already been firing all their staff
even more mainstream non-gaming sites are doing the same thing
it's kind of just funny at this point
A lot of the journalists were actually just already phoning it in and doing nothing substantive anyways, which is why they can just be replaced
