A few years ago, the Escapist got more or less taken over by an extremist right-winger, Alexander Macris, who saw GamerGate as an opportunity to turn the website into a right-wing beachhead in the culture war. He hired a bunch of other right-wing political activists (who had no understanding of or interest in games) to write columns aimed at pushing a pro-GG and anti-progressive agenda. It was actually pretty disgusting.

/u/kane_t It's time to take your Trumpcare meds.

this is all not merely true, but uncontroversially true, and matter-of-factly expressed. what a shitty agendapost

>complaining about agendaposting on /r/drama

>while being /u/EvanHarper

nice meme

ethics in gaming journalism

Lmao

ethics in ban Ed_butteredtoast

No that is /u/brothaneils job smh

Hey ed, have you found any employment yet?

but who else are we going to bully?

Hi uncle did you appreciate the spicy posts I posted to CB2?

you got it uncle!

he's literally Milo Yiannopoulos's business manager. he was one of GamerGate's earliest major supporters and posted the infamous "what game developers think of gamergate" article, which outraged Jim Sterling and [led to his departure from the site.](www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/138617-Goodbye-to-Jim-Sterling) there is literally nothing wrong with the description that /u/LemonScore is trying to gaslight people over ("take your meds".) he is just fucking with us

not an arguement

the complaint was about shitty agenda posting, not agenda posting. agendas are fine

The Escapist being used as right-wing propaganda is definitely not true. Most of the people that worked there are leftists or left-of-centre. I didn't read/watch much outside of ZP and Unskippable, but I distinctly remember some comics on TE being really heavy with SJW bullshit.

Who are these "right-wing" columnists that The Escapist was pushing? As usual, it's just leftists defining anyone that doesn't tow the line as being an alt-right Nazi.

which outraged Jim Sterling

Jim Sterling is an autistic retard of massive proportions. He's a living stereotype of a leftist caricature (including being a closet misogynist, as his past opinions archived on his Dramatica page show).

/u/LemonScore is trying to gaslight people over ("take your meds".) he is just fucking with us

I don't "gaslight" people, do you even know what that means? Having open contempt for people and saying so, constantly, isn't "gaslighting."

Who are these "right-wing" columnists that The Escapist was pushing? As usual, it's just leftists defining anyone that doesn't toe the line as being an alt-right Nazi.

they literally hired Brandon Morse you screeching tard

Wow, one conservative.

caring about GimblyGoof

accusations of gaslighting

It's time to stop.

pandering to outrage junkies was never going to work long-term

Depends on who you're pandering to.

Pretty sure Daddy got elected by pandering to outrage junkies

And actual junkies.

this is all not merely true, but uncontroversially true, and matter-of-factly expressed. what a shitty agendapost

OP posts in KiA.

Our brand is cryptohate

We support Nazis of courses, but we dress it up a little and make it fun

Imagine unironically discussing gamergate in 2017

OP that unironically posts in KiA

k i l l y o u r s e l f

HEY don't bully, okay!

You're digging through this guy's post history over an internet slap fight? Yeah, he's the loser lul

lol this faggot unironically watches football

got me

Reddit virgins harrasing a women - what else is new. I would bet a bottle of vodka that most subscribers in that sub are even bigger losers than neckbeards...hence because they are jelly that sub exists.

12 hours late but all I want to say here is fuck Jim Sterling and fuck Extra Credits. That's all.

I'd like to second this.

literaly who

I don't think I can hate a man in a supervillain costume
