@@RINSHOUJO dead ass I didn't know gamergate went this far back. I'm at the start of the video but I still don't really know wth gamergate is despite hearing it casually referenced so much throughout the years.
@@Isawadigitalferrari Yeah, I thought it was 2016 in the leafyishere days. I didn't realize gamergate was as far back when SkyDoesMinecraft was reaching his peak, crazy times
On the Athene thing, that is the fallacy of relative privation. Following that line of thought leads to the idea that there is only one true problem in the world and all others are not worth discussing until we work our way down to them. Which is absurd.

Keeping up integrity in journalism, even gaming journalism, is a very important responsibility on any society. Especially since gaming is such a mainstream thing now and completely integrated in a LOT of cultures around the world. If you start tolerating hypocrisy, nepotism, lying, deceit etc. then the tolerance of such things will rise and it cannot lead to anything good. It isn't the 90s anymore, gaming sites need to grow the fuck up and take responsibility.
You are ahead of your time. With the whole drama of sweet baby inc, I understand how deeply rooted the problem is. Gamergate and SBI are all worthless companies.
Great video Asmongold. I just want to point out one thing, that isn't about your argument, but velociraptors are small, they're like the size of turkeys. (15-30 pounds) They were ankle biters, if they were still around you could punt them. Not trying to be a dick or a troll, and no disrespect intended. i know that it's a popular misconception, but i think that it's good to correct those whenever possible. The big raptors are actually Utah raptors, austroraptors, and achillobator's.
Pretty much since I've been able to string together a coherent thought I haven't bother with reading either print or online gaming media (Aside from youtube and zero punctuation). The corruption in modern media of all kinds is painfully obvious to the degree that I just can't take it seriously. This whole thing that's been uncovered just seems like business as usual to me so I've continued to not visit those shitcan websites and keep supporting the people who are keeping it real like my boy asmongold.
On the 4chan deletion stuff, I wouldn't be surprised if the chat logs were fake and I remain very dubious of them. The reason I believe GG discussion was banned though is because Moot himself disagrees with GG. He was a speaker at XOXO fest and when he returned from his weekend there, that's when he made the announcement banning GG discussion.
Spot on about the Athene thing. Big props to him for making such an effort to raise money for children and being fully invested in it. But that is not the only problem in this world. Sure we can go into how ~10% of money spent in a few years on WAR can cure world hunger but that's not gonna solve the issues as the powers that be dont give a shit about that. Also, if someone wants to donate, reading a little drama for 5-10 minutes wont stop them I think.
Google search on Gamergate, the wikipedia link that shows on google 'A gamergate is a reproductively viable female worker ant that is able to reproduce with mature males when the colony is lacking a queen.'
Society in the 21st century, more than ever, has become a massive superorganism. Different prerogatives and objectives are to be expected. However, this does not deduce value from more serious and conflictive issues in the world. Though it is individually subjective, most would agree that- for example, the color of your shower curtains now and your indecisiveness towards what you would like them to be is not a bigger issue than any war going on anywhere else in the world. And that is fine. We've been conditioned and structured to feel apathetic towards things that don't directly affect us. Is it wrong or is it right? Even that question in basic principle is subjective.
i like your video it was very reasonable but there is a lot of misinformation being spread by the SJW's out there. InternetAristocrat does a good job of cutting through it i recommend his videos. Quinnspiracy Theory: In-N-Out Edition
>First world problems. Seems like any incident involving a female tends to be quickly escalate to a feminism issue. It's been trending like that for a while now. Feminists remind me of those seagulls in Finding Nemo.
Asmongold I can't agree more with you! Keep up the good videos, I'm always looking forward to more content like this and WoD videos. :) By the way, are you related to Asmodeus by any chance?
What ever group of people suffering from what ever given situation the most, are the people who know whats wrong with that given situation more than anyone else. It's not a "victim complex". It's a logical understanding of who the leaders or experts of any situation should be.
Does anyone actually trust game review sites to give games fair reviews? Calling them 'journalistic' in any way is very generous, it would be like calling tabloids 'journalism'. How often do sites give a game a favorable review only for it to be trashed at release by actual gamers on Metacritic? I think money direct from developers, or from distributors, rather than advertising agencies, is the culprit. I think you nailed it - sites like Gamergate, like tabloids, want controversy to get more viewers and therefore revenue. I don't think it has anything really to do with social justice issues.
Crazy to see Asmon touched on this years ago. Look where he is now, dang.
Ikr man
Wowzers. This was even before
pinksparkles lol.
Crazy to know how old Gamergate is.

Nine years ago! And this is STILL going on.

Thanks for that, I was looking for the term when I made the video but for whatever reason I couldn't find it

i cant stop laughing on the choke chain after the sip at 20:07
I just started watching. This is fucking mind blowing.

^ underrated comment
Had the pleasure of having you in my heroic garrosh kill group a couple nights ago, you're the shit man! Love your vids.
Excellent neutral approach. So many have seen what the media has said and have fallen in line.

I keep rewinding the videos to the very start just to see(and hear) the: "Sup yall, it's me, it's ya boy Asmongold. :O
How weird am I? xD
So weird. Better be there on stream this morning

Good monologue. For me these SOME-dramas are like modern day gladiators.
And I love'em. Forgive my vice.

"I can tell the pictures are fake from some of the pixels" -Asmongold, 2014
Good thoughts, but you trailed off into a lot of tangents.
You my boy, Asmongold
Journalism in general died with the internet, Magazines were probably one of the genuine most useful things back when. #VideoGameJournalismHahahaha
Is it just me or you're having a hard time looking looking at the camera for more than 5 sec?
Anyway, good video and keep em coming!
what i want to know is, when asmongold will run for president

Great video!
Man and dinosaur were separated by tens of millions of years. They never coexisted. Unless you mean the CGI velociraptors from Jurassic Park.
And Aristotle was Greek, not Roman. I just said it to make a point that it had been going on since forever.
Great video sir
