    Gamergate archive? It’s simple! Time travelers are trying to record this historical event. Are they doing it because it succeeded and ushered in a new golden age of truth in journalism… or because it failed and an apocalyptic fate befell our world? We don’t know! Beware, our saurian overlords have mind control rays put up from cold war satellites. Tinfoil only helps a little, you need to encase your skull in a Faraday cage!

    Already mentioned on this site that academia is trying to make gaming educational and that what games educate people in needs to be controlled. I had several classes when I was getting my degree for “ethical uses” of what I was learning. “You need to create art and games that make people who experience it into better citizens”. You’d be interested in just how easy it is to program a person in certain ways with enough repetition. This was ten years back, and I would assume that the process has become more efficient. On the other hand, there is a limit to how far it will go. The major programming they tried to push on me was to encourage reducing the carbon footprint and becoming aware of environmental things like packaging on consumer goods.

    I have not seen this documentary, could I get a link to it? A title so I can run a search(or did I just miss it when you said it, all I remember is it being referred to as “the documentary”)? It sounds interesting.

      I too would like to know of the “Documentary” This episode of conspiracies is some what lacking in factual sources.

      CLEARLY, Ultron has become sentient and is monitoring the Internet to make his judgement on Humanity. Let’s hope he avoids visting tumblr.

    I agree with Brian. The counterculture that arises from that censoring is beneficial for creativity in general. Games like Dragon’s Crown, Senran Kagura and most recently Hatred have the Streisand effect behind them instead of insane marketing budgets.

    It is basic psychology really. Banning these games just sparks people’s natural curiosity similar to a “Do not touch!” sign or a forbidden book. This is applied with extra power for gamers who are generally big freethinkers and don’t like to be dictated how to behave in the game world. They are trained to fight against the established system all their lives. Thinking about it, it is not a big surprize that gamers were the first major opposition that the SJW cult faced.
