A Law & Order episode exploring #GamerGate sensationalizes serious problems with misogyny in video gaming, and leaves much to be desired for gamers.

Game journalists have created a misogyny narrative which is utterly detached from reality and they have used it to demonize not only gamergate but the gaming community it general. Do I need to bring up the dozens of "gamers are dead" articles?

So don't blame SVU, when you are the ones who were comparing gamergate supporters to ISIS. You are the true architects of this propaganda and everyone can see it.

how about you blame the ones who sent all those death and rape threats?

blame the one who threatened to shoot up a school.
blame the twats who send swat teams to innocent peoples houses.

how about they take the rightful blame for making gamers look bad?

what will it take for idiotic crap like swatting to stop anyway?
does somebody have to die before these idiots stop?
sadly, when it does happen, i fear just a matter of when rather than if, these halfwits will still do it.

whatever subject they're dealing with, they're going to sensationalise it.
it's a cop show, if they do an episode based around gaming, it's not gonna feature people just going to a con and having a nice peaceful time.
may be more realistic, but it hardly makes for interesting television.

a show like this features any community, it's gonna feature the worst of that community.

CSI have done an episode centred around furries, it involved a murder, they did one with people who build fighting robots, it involved a murder, they did an ep with the transgender community, and yep, it involved murder.

I think it hit it perfectly for the past 6 months these journalist and their attack dogs have been calling gamers literal terrorist worse the Hitler and Isis combined, and the fact they are now backpedaling because of how ridiculous it is I find pretty funny.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
