@matrix gamergate never ended, just like the cold war
it's never, NEVER over until one of the sides is dead for good
@lina @matrix censorship and dumb fuckery never stopped even before we were born
@matrix of course it's the same people, it's people who do not stop until they are stopped
@1iceloops123 @matrix @All_bonesJones Without going into fedposting, which can have mixed results even if it's successful, there's two options.

The first is to bitch on Kiwi Farms and Twitter, and mock those responsible. This sometimes works, but either the parties responsible will regroup and rebrand, or new people will take their place.

The second is to adapt some of their strategies. One forum posted about a smaller scale version of what Silverstring/Sweet Baby Inc has done. There's a whole "Boomer Shooter" grift with random shit indie devs making "safe edgy" 90s inspired shooters which tick all the same boxes, but there's one thing in common.

There's somewhat of a welfare system at play. Gianni Matragrano (duke nukem vasectomy guy) will do the voice acting or have credits, while Civvie 11 will do reviews of the games to market them to the masses. After all, these developers make sure to say the magic phrase after all.

In a way it's a smaller scale, lower budget version of what happened during GamerGate with how deep the corruption was running with devs like Phil Fish. They were simply playing the game the way it was intended, they had people there doing marketing, an awards show that was clearly having conflicts of interest, and if anything Phil Fish was just his own worst enemy.
@Pawlicker @matrix @All_bonesJones like i am not saying we should give them the rope like folks would want but maybe put them in the cuck corner to boss them around to make little games maybe?. while we make master peices
@Pawlicker @All_bonesJones @matrix like i'd want folks make a game that would echo generations. like you always hear about your half lifes etc. i never hear people talk about metro series etc.
@All_bonesJones @Pawlicker @matrix like forced diversity and etc won't work on me like these folks want. but i cab see kuje a guy be like hey lets make mc a black woman and lets say the story is about her getting the fuck out of the ghetto to have a decent life. but she has to breaking bad it why not.
@Pawlicker @matrix @1iceloops123 these are literally the same dudes gamergate was seething over, do you think kicking up a second shitstorm is gonna solve anything? do you seriously think they'll learn when it happens a second time? chucking kiwifarms at them won't do anything. these people stop when they are stopped.
@All_bonesJones @Pawlicker @matrix well null has gone down hill as @thomasroiloup and i feel like kiwifarms isan't as scary as they use to be.
@All_bonesJones @Pawlicker @matrix like if null is very slow about comic gate shit. you think he would be great with gaming stuff
@1iceloops123 @matrix @All_bonesJones Aside from ComicsGate gaining a reputation it could never shake as a grift circle with the same faults as the old industry, they actually made something.

You can't say that about many gamers aside from the anons on the /AGDG/ threads, and anglosphere chan culture got taken out back and shot by a coalition of furries, glowies, journalists, and a vindictive cripple.

Many gamers are literal soyjaks who will buy the current game and complain about it. Then if things get too bad they'll bank everything on remasters. Even if the game from 2007 is censored, it's not the game from 2024.
@Pawlicker @matrix @All_bonesJones see and this is why i don't label myself a gamer sure i play video games. but i'm not a rgb nerd playing new game drinking mtdew and eatting doritos.
@1iceloops123 @matrix @All_bonesJones @thomasroiloup Even during it's peak, the influence KF had was people reading it's posts due to Joshes SEO.

Thankfully with picrel, you will never have to worry about the darn kiwis again, especially with the site's "don't touch the shit"/"no cowtipping"/"don't tap the glass" policy (depending on the era of the site) that gives it less effectiveness compared to OnAForums or The Sharty.

But maybe they weren't needed as much given that any nonce with a reposted callout post on there can say it's fabricated.

This isn't about KF though, this is about influence. Normies can sometimes turn out drama as long as it's not headlines like "rockstar arrested for diddling babies".

@Pawlicker @matrix @All_bonesJones @thomasroiloup all i remember i heard they would troll and harass people to death. worse as ice poseidon shit. yet its funny KF was a chrish chan fansite. wonder why those fucks are retarded and autsitic.
@1iceloops123 @matrix @All_bonesJones @thomasroiloup Reddit and Discord have users who do far worse shit than KF users at their worst did, and those are less popular groups. The Sharty and OnAForums and similar are where open trolling goes on and nobody tries to blame them for suicides that were unrelated because it's a tactic a certain community online likes to use to get sympathy and Get Results.
@Pawlicker @matrix @1iceloops123 @All_bonesJones @thomasroiloup I hate the "touch the poop" shit because it's how Chris Chan effectively got way way way worse. Some other small time laughing stocks don't quite deserves it either

But for the big lolcow and just outright villains, it doesn't matter either way, they'll lie about it and the mainstream will shield them either way

The problem with touching the poop is that it always trickle down to targets that don't deserves it because the audience gets nastier and nastier
@coolboymew @matrix @1iceloops123 @All_bonesJones @thomasroiloup The shit touching mostly applies for what you said, or KingCobraJFS now, or how Daniel Larson has the unfunny redditors feeding him shit to say, or both sides of the Terry thing (the people trying to help made things worse without trying and the unfunny retards fucking with him killed content), or the zoomers manufacturing stories about a crackhead gambler on kick.com even and stalking him everywhere he goes .

For every piece of content that's funny like the Fatrick Josiah tapes there's a lot of retards who think classic comedy is flagging channels or SWATting people.
@Pawlicker @matrix @1iceloops123 @All_bonesJones @coolboymew The sektur should be exterminated down to the last man woman and child without exception, kill the sektur, behead the sektur, dropkick the sektur into a volcano.
@1iceloops123 @All_bonesJones @Pawlicker @coolboymew @matrix Why didn't he keep going? He made quite the catastrophic blunder by not continuing to gamble (very sad).
@thomasroiloup @matrix @1iceloops123 @All_bonesJones @coolboymew He will shame people for not "juicing" him and will talk about fucking your mom when he bans you (you can get unbanned by subbing or gifting subs).
@Pawlicker @matrix @1iceloops123 @All_bonesJones No website will ever replace the psychic zeitgeist. You can't log into it. You can only know it.

It's like someone says plate, or shrimp, or plate of shrimp.

It's too late. It already happened.

It never not happened.
@thomasroiloup @matrix @1iceloops123 @All_bonesJones I don't know what you're talking about.

If you're referring to the site's place online, it existed far before KF. PoE, SomethingAwful, random livejournals and blogs dedicated to shit, ED, and many more are proof that people want to see a good dumpster fire.

Of course even people in that sphere are also burnt out on this culture war shit, it's why some of the most popular threads on the site lately are on a writer who is mocked for wanting to fight everyone ever online, and a crackhead gambler who does nothing but stream himself doing drugs and gambling and raging. It's the same reason why IP2 is so big, people want to see a shitshow.
@Pawlicker @matrix @1iceloops123 @All_bonesJones Yeah it's a shame they're missing the boat over and over on the biggest lolcows in the history of the entire internet, even before portal of evil, oh well. 😏
@1iceloops123 @All_bonesJones @Pawlicker @matrix Kiwifarms is still kiwifarms, and "last to know null" is still null. I guess as the squiddos say, it is what it is.

It's easier to dox people than it is to see past the bullshit.
@All_bonesJones @matrix @1iceloops123 So what is your plan to stop them?

I have already given you puzzle pieces of one possible solution by posting what another grift circle did on a smaller scale. You can either interpret it as you will or mope/fedpost depending on your dose of meds that day.
08 - Game Over.flac
@Pawlicker @matrix @1iceloops123 c'mon man, even normies can tell the great death is looming overhead. look outside and observe the despair and fear. the most insensate can tell something very bad's looming on the horizon
@All_bonesJones @matrix @1iceloops123 So when does the happening start? It's been several years of "nothing is happening" now.
@Pawlicker @matrix @1iceloops123 when did the collapse of the soviet union start and the violence begin? the human impulse to attribute single causes to single events is the impulse to oversimplify to the point of absurdity
@All_bonesJones @matrix @1iceloops123 how is that any argument about what I said though? I made a point about adopting their strategies by talking about what the boomer shooter group does.

There's a guy who does voice acting and formerly acted as a meme man on Twitter (still on YT doing impersonations of other game characters to viral success), and another who is a game reviewer who even had a cameo appearance in at least one of the games in said group.

My point is, you need to network. You need to have a reviewer friend with a channel, for a voice actor buddy who has the right connections, etc.

@Pawlicker @matrix @1iceloops123 that's great for personal enrichment but has nothing to do with what i said, that these people won't stop until they are stopped. you can set up your own parallel systems if you want, it won't make these types of people stop doing what they do
@Pawlicker @matrix @1iceloops123 i don't know what you think you're responding to but it's certainly not anything i've written

let me start over from the top and keep it real simple so your autistic retard ass can understand:

there is a specific type of person that compulsively hurts others and is good at nepotism and lying. usually these people are diagnosed with cluster b personality disorders such as narcissism.

let me say it again: these people have a COMPULSION to hurt others.

they have all sorts of endless ways to justify it, hiding behind misunderstandings or some bizarre sense of justice, but it is all window dressing to cover up an urge to hurt people. they will invent reasons why you deserve it even if you have done nothing wrong. vtubing and content creation as a whole is infested with these people. hell, one of them tried to dox me just a few days ago, and the entire drama around dokibird and nijisanji boils down to elira and vox are those sorts of people.

they are incapable of not hurting people. in any situation where they think they can get away with it, they will hurt people. in a healthy cohesive society, they would be kept at the fringes and friends/family/do-gooders would warn others "hey, stay away from that guy" which is a method of stopping them. if they do not have the chance to hurt others, they cannot take it.

there is no way to make this behavior stop. it is not fixable. you need external pressures to make them not do that such as people beating their ass for it. they will still continue to attempt it. they will always continue to attempt it. there are currently no mechanisms in place to make them stop doing it so they will continue doing it with impunity.

until there is some sort of legitimate external punishment to them for behaving in this way, they will continue to do this. it cannot be a one-off thing like some internet drama, it needs to be a persistent thing. they do not stop until someone stops them. the people behind sweet baby inc will not stop until someone stops them.

trying to build a parallel network does not stop them. it doesn't do anything to them. it gives them another target to hurt at best.

now do you get it?
@All_bonesJones @matrix @1iceloops123
>trying to build a parallel network does not stop them. it doesn't do anything to them. it gives them another target to hurt at best.
Exactly. This is why instead you should sit on fedi, doompost, chug a 40, and trust the plan.

@Pawlicker @1iceloops123 @matrix and if you're gonna try and clap back with some kind of retard smartass "oh yeah well what's YOUR solution" then the answer is nothing. you may as well ask what i'm doing about the tides or seasons. i can't hold back a society's winter any better than any other man. i cannot fix this.

i can keep my own ass from freezing off by identifying bad actors and removing them from my own spaces. that is what i can do and that is what i am doing.
