Richard LawsonHOST
I mean, something I used to do if I ever...
Richard LawsonHOST
Like, I got ensnared by Gamergate for, like, a horrible weekend of my life, um, because of an offhand thing that I repl- I was replying to somebody else and they found it, whatever.
Richard LawsonHOST
Um, and it really sucked and I, like, you know, didn't open my phone for three days, whatever.
Richard LawsonHOST
But since then, s- if, if I'm, there's a pile-on happening or even if there's just, like, a discourse-y thing happening that I feel like is, like, kind of like feels overblown or something, is just, just actually stop, if you're gonna be paying attention at all, and count the tweets or count the whatever.
Jeff GrubbHOST
when I started writing about games.
Jeff GrubbHOST
And, you know, went back especially to like the, uh, uh, the GamerGate stuff of all these people like, "Oh, ethics and journalism," all this stuff.
Jeff GrubbHOST
It's like, I don't know.
Jeff GrubbHOST
Uh, it seems like we're treating people pretty poorly, and that's way worse.
Greg CarlwoodHOST
I can't go because I wanna be able to talk freely on my podcast." So I think that's the thing is they cozy up to some people who have big platforms so that they can talk unchallenged and get their PR message out.
Kurt MetzgerGUEST
Does this remind you of Gamergate a little bit? It does me because Gamergate was all the...
Kurt MetzgerGUEST
And I didn't pay attention to it, but don't think that's not a major vector to start pushing the social program.
Kurt MetzgerGUEST
It's like the part of the wall not being watched, 'cause like, first of all, I would never call m- I play those games like a fucking child.
Ken KnapsackHOST
I mentioned it before here in this channel.
Ken KnapsackHOST
There's a thing called Gamergate.
Ken KnapsackHOST
look it up i don't have time to go into it now it's from the gaming and the gaming journalist arena that was that's political there there's the alt-right people grabbed on to pop culture discussions specifically star wars in 2017 into 2018 and i just think it continues to divide folks but also uh distracts for what comes in the back door and that's where i would get mad as a star wars commentator people i'm not just a fan if people don't know i wrote a book about star wars i have a long-running star wars podcast called force center I've been in this world for a long time.
Ken KnapsackHOST
A lot of people feel they're just discussing pop culture, Pat.
Bridget PhetasyHOST
That's too smart for this show, probably.
Bridget PhetasyHOST
But he said Gamergate never ended.
Bridget PhetasyHOST
He basically was saying we're being distracted by an armies of white feminists and right wing trolls, which is true.
Bridget PhetasyHOST
This kind of controversy around this stuff makes me feel like everything feels fake.
Hylke LanghoutHOST
But, uh, heads up, the, like, director of this game is a real piece of garbage.
Hylke LanghoutHOST
He was heavily involved in Gamergate.
Hylke LanghoutHOST
Uh, so baby, don't buy it.
RosalieHOST
Yep.
Craig HorlbeckHOST
Actually, wow, that's interesting.
Craig HorlbeckHOST
The immediate answer, and I bet this, is, um, GamerGate, which would make a ton of sense actually, 'cause that's kind of the beginning of the modern internet.
Craig HorlbeckHOST
GamerGate? Was that a scandal?
Danny HeifetzHOST
Gamer-
Craig HorlbeckHOST
What is GamerGate?
Danny HeifetzHOST
Uh, I don't even know how to begin to describe it.
Danny HeifetzHOST
I will send you an article.
Danny HeifetzHOST
But it w- it w- it, it's, it w- it... [laughs] Think, do you know GamerGate? Oh my God, I don't know how to even describe it.
Matt LiebHOST
It's like, i- uh, this is, I feel like, the most...
Matt LiebHOST
I feel like I'm Gamergate now, where I'm just like, "N- not in my safe space.
Matt LiebHOST
Don't, don't give me your goddamn Zionism in my safe space.
Matt LiebHOST
I'm just trying to come." [laughs] Oh, man, Daniel, I, I truly, I was like, what could you possibly have to say about this that isn't just the same kind of discourse about whether or not Sydney Sweeney is MAGA or whatnot? No, you've, you've found something.
Carl BenjaminHOST
On what?
HarryHOST
Gamergate remains open.
HarryHOST
That's true.
HarryHOST
We are still suffering from all of its demonic consequences.
6 MINS LATER
HarryHOST
Then you have been fired.
HarryHOST
What a shock.
HarryHOST
The Gamergate and ethics in games journalism is still a question unresolved, my friends.
HarryHOST
But, so...
Ethan RalphHOST
Mm-hmm
Matt JarboGUEST
... and then GamerGate kind of like pushed that to like the next level, and then I was able to...
Matt JarboGUEST
At that point I was just fucking mundane Matt.
Matt JarboGUEST
You know, I just kind of went with it.
Ethan RalphHOST
So for those of you who are listening, don't really know too much about GamerGate, uh, let's hear- By the way, for those of you who don't know, Boogie's the biggest fucking waffler of all time.
Ethan RalphHOST
And he came out and supported...
Ethan RalphHOST
I don't think Matt will talk about this.
Ethan RalphHOST
Boogie came out.
