>"Of all the enemies Gawker had made over the years - In New York media, in Silicon valley, in Hollywood - none were more effective than the GamerGators." | kotakuinaction |
And don't forget their parting message posted the day of their official shutdown: | kotakuinaction |
Make of that what you will. :P | kotakuinaction |

In addition to the campaign we organized that led to most of Gawker's advertisers pulling out, there was also the outright destruction of their *Native Advertising™* revenue model (ads disguised as news articles, with undisclosed Amazon affiliate links included). | kotakuinaction |
Every Gawker property, *especially Kotaku,* had to redesign all their websites to conform to the new laws, which only came about because of our lobbying campaign to the FTC who went after them using "over 50 pages of evidence gathered by GamerGate"... **including posts on KotakuInAction**: | kotakuinaction |
I feel a personal sense of pride in knowing my reddit username and comment is on a legal brief stored in a Federal Trade Commision government archive somewhere. :) | kotakuinaction |

As for Gillette... It's worth noting that in 2022 they **delisted** their infamous "The Best Men Can Be" ad from their Youtube channel. So you can't find it, even if you search for it. Unless someone gives you a direct link. | kotakuinaction |
A final, pathetic, shameful act of contrition? Who can say? | kotakuinaction |
Fortunately, *GamerGate archives everything!* | kotakuinaction |

That's not what the citations said, so... | kotakuinaction |
perhaps. I myself think it's a combination of personal beliefs and show of status among peers - think of ad companies doing a high end commercial at a loss for a charity or progressive goal. If you do some award-winning work, your company or personal brand can coast off of that for years among the managerial classes. | kotakuinaction |
And like with Gilette, maybe they truly believe that the new generations really want to see this ESG-friendly narrative. | kotakuinaction |
the citations are irrelevant, because they are reffering to a completely different event that happened a year earlier | kotakuinaction |
Well, they're literally using the word Gamergate, so......... | kotakuinaction |
so what? am i supposed to believe that you like lynching black people or gassing jews? | kotakuinaction |
Just saying that Gawker was complaining about Gamergate hurting them in 2015, so........ | kotakuinaction |
yes, and it was a very much survivable blow even if reddit hadnt dropped the ball on the their side of of the ops. one would think that vice and part of buttfeed only now shutting down despite being a equal combatant to your befuddled claims and the possiblity of getting properly necroed but whatever its reddit. kia has only ever been blackup anyway. | kotakuinaction |
>j-just because all the other outlets are *also* now closing doesn't mean you won, o-ok?? It took, like, several years to totally destroy games journalism, so it doesn't count!! | kotakuinaction |
