I don't think people get how big this is. Gamergate was the original dose for many of the red pill.
The Gaming community was a sleeping giant, the left shoved a spear up its ass and now here we are.
Sargon has some good videos about it.
You can also check out some of appabend's stuff, though I don't know how much of it is Gamergate related.
But for the gist of it:
Some bitch named Zoe Quinn slept around for some good reviews for her visual novel.
Her boyfriend makes a long-ass blog post detailing her wrongdoings.
She deservingly gets shit on for it but Leftist shill journos go to her defense and try to be moral guardians for the rest of the gaming community.
Then came Anita Sarkeesian and the floodgates opened.
Don't forgot that when she tried to jump on the #metoo bandwagon by making up a story about Alec Holowska, one of the guys behind Night In The Woods, sexually molesting/raping her, he committed suicide and she wiped her online presence like the coward she was instead of taking responsibility.
Never. Fucking. Forget. This was the woman the journo clique decided to defend.
Zoe Quinn deserves a special place in hell for what she has done.
The Wikipedia page on Quinn is part comedy, part exposing Fake Wiki for the joke it is.
It wasn't even reviews, it was just getting passing mentions in articles about other games.
There was also the 24 hours of copy-pasted "Gamers are Dead" articles from a dozen or more sites.
ZQ did one thing right, though. She doxed Candace Owens and had her friends harass Owens. This redpilled the shit out of Candace.
It's really important to note that this scandal led to the revealing that journalists were all in the same private message group, planning out their articles to push their social agenda.
I vaguely remember hearing about this. But it isn't even the first time they've done this.
During Obama's first election, actual journalist journalists were colluding on a secret leftist-journalist-only message board, called JournoList, to set overarching narratives across the mainstream media and working together to brainstorm ways to defend Obama during the controversy over his pastor.
When it got leaked, they downplayed it and deleted it. Then another secret leftist journalist message board got leaked, revealing that they had gone right back to it when they thought they wouldn't get caught. They just downplayed and deleted that one too.
Then recently, game journalists got caught doing the same thing, and they just brazenly bragged about how they jokingly named it after JournoList.
This kind of shit shows that the media isn't biased because their boss comes down and tells them what narrative to push. It's biased because the journalists are passionate leftist zealots spearheading those narratives themselves.
GameJournoPros, it was called.
Is wine-o Leigh Alexander still around or has she drunk herself to death yet?
Dunno, I think she's dropped in to obscurity where she belongs.
You've accepted part of the narrative. It was never reviews. They wanted to make it reviews just so they could say it didn't happen. She got coverage, which is literally all an indie project needs. The game itself is irrelevant, like Sander's book.
No one's discussing the bigger fact that literally who looks like a shaved gorilla and anyone willing to fuck that needs help
Also don't forget that after much digging we found out that many of these groups pushing for social degeneracy were receiving State Department funding.
It was no fluke that Anita Sarkeesian and her ilk managed to fail their way to the UN.
It's important to note that it was publicity and not, technically, reviews. If you want to avoid the annoying counters by leftists saying that the reviews never happened, so nothing bad happened, it's important to be precise.
If you were online back in 2003-2008ish almost everybody online was edgy. It's still kinda the case now but it was more obvious and everyone knew it was a joke even if people acted really seriously about their blatant sexism.
Take the most popular moment in world of Warcraft history for example: When the funeral got ganked. Serenity now (the guild) that ganked it uploaded their video and it became a staple of gaming history. The name they went with for their production group that uploaded it was "women shouldn't vote productions."
Now that sort of joke can't pass on big tech because things are more centralized. Along with the centralization of course comes leftists ideology that likes to be offended by anyone. And who's willing to be the most offensive? Gamers. Because it's funny.
The SJW's went after gamers and it really hasn't worked like in other communities. Most gamers wanna play games and joke around, it's not meant to be serious. There were certain controversies like a man on stage beating a woman in street fighter and saying "Let it happen it'll all be over soon" during an e3 event, and the basic fact that women never compete in e-sports because they suck at Video Games on average. Gamers are clear about this. "No we don't give a shit if you're a girl, if you can't kill that guy then you can't be on our team".
So while everyone's trying to do the whole gender equality thing, gamers think it's stupid and they'd rather have a giant cheeto eating COD expert than some girl just because she's a girl. That's the jist but I could go on.
git gud
tea-bagging intensifies
Not to mention everybody online fucked your Mom and called you every name in the book. Then everyone gets horney when girls come online. Good times!
That's a perfect summary, thank u
It was a largely disorganized, leaderless movement in the videogame community that was fighting for ethics in videogames journalism. It was discovered that many (read: almost all) of the top videogame news sites and magazines had been taken over by SJWs who didn't like videogames and had really shady ethical practices.
The media ( the ones being scrutinized for horrible ethics) tried to deflect attention by claiming that gamergate was a movement of sexist gamers trying to push women out of the industry.
Even though Gamergate as a movement has largely stopped being relevant and there is no organized movement anymore, Gamergate still gets mentioned constantly in articles that have nothing to do with gamergate. This happens so often that we have a word for it: gamedropping.
I could go into a lot more detail, but we were one of the first communities to stand up and fight against hack journos and SJWs and feminists in our industry. Check out the two new .win communities!
Don't forget the GamerGate time machine! - We're constantly going back in time, and affecting the future!
Watch this, and then part 2 of you’re still interested:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7ubG5nG2Gc
Basically, it’s a story of corrupt media (video games media) getting called out for being the frauds that they were/are... and instead of doing the right thing and owning up to it, being introspective, and promising their customers they’d do better... they doubled down, banded together to push false manufactured narratives, called their customers sexist bigots, and destroyed their credibility forever.
So the exact same thing that the mainstream news media is doing. Turns out “journalists” are sleazebags regardless of the industry!
Give this a read
GAMERS SAVED THE WORLD!
Well they helped Trump win as backlash for leftists shoving a victimhood spear up their ass.
In the 2000s I always thought the SJWs (I referred to them as ego strokers because the term SJW didn't exist then) would conquer the west if they left gaming, movies/tv, and porn alone. Their arrogance have them attacking all 3.
I would go so far to say that, if it wasn't for Gamergate, the_donald wouldn't taken off. Heck, Donald Trump might not even have gotten elected without the seeds Gamergate have planted.
What Gamergate eventually came to represent is one of the first, large and mostly successful, organized resistance against the fake news media and their masters. Gamergate started off when an SJW bitch was caught sleeping with "gaming media" reviewers in return for positive press for her "game". And from there, it really snowballed.
At first, it was limited to the SJW gaming media. Then, Gamergate got attacked by more "serious" opponents like celebrities, academia, and, most significantly, the actual mainstream media. The fact that the movement got attacked by the fake news media means is a wake-up call moment for a lot of us that the whole media industry is rotten from the core and it is not just limited to the gaming journalism. And it is also not just the media industry that is rotten, the academia, entertainment, and cultural sectors are just as bad. From there, Gamergate, and the KotakuInAction subreddit we are centered upon took on a new dimension. We are now warriors in a cultural war against an enemy that is more evil than many of us have realized at the time.
This is part of the reason why KotakuInAction and KotakuInAction2 split. The mods at KotakuInAction wants to keep the movement focused on video games and not the greater culture war at large, mainly because we have discovered that the mods of KotakuInAction have became the censorious leftist monsters that we have been fighting so hard against and want to neuter the potent force that may have ultimately gotten Donald Trump elected. The userbase revolted and went off to found KotakuInAction2 which are the true heirs to the vision, spirit, and mission of the modern Gamergate movement: to combat the leftist rot that have perverted many aspects of our lives.
On another note, the mods of KotakuInAction2 even programmed a fun little thing into the Automoderator Bot so that the Bot transforms into Liberty Prime when it sees the words "China" or "Chinese" in the submission title and start spewing a copypasta to fry Chinese Shills' Internet Connections. It gotten a lot of use during the past six months or so...
Never forget that same bitch drove Alec Holowska to commit suicide.
I knew about that. Zoe Quinn was one of the evilest women I have ever witnessed online. While she is no Hillary Clinton, she still deserves a spot in hell.
She would be a Hillary Clinton if she had the power. Most if not all SJWs would be.
It certainly opened my eyes. It’s quite something to witness an event and then see the media completely distort and pervert the facts. I couldn’t believe it at first but it kept getting worse and worse. Then they did the same to crazy Bernie. Now, I’m here and while the reality is grim, I’m glad I’m not alone. Thanks frens!
Don't forget when their mask slipped with GameJournoPro. That behind the scenes collusion and coordination between all the """journalists""" really opened a lot of eyes.
Look up JournoList. That was mainstream media journalists secretly colluding on a leftist-only message board. It got leaked that they were working together to shape overarching narratives and were running defense for Obama during the scandal over his pastor. They were telling each other "just call them racists" and shit like that.
Then when they got caught, they downplayed it and deleted it, and then got caught doing it again on another secret forum, and just downplayed and deleted that too.
It's infuriating that now they're at the point where they don't even feel the need to delete and remake it anymore. They just got all sassy and went "we jokingly based it on JournoList", and they're allowed to get away with this?!
Man, the last few years have been crazy. Great summation of why KIA2 is the actual successor to gamergate, though.
IT'S YYYUUUGE
happening.jpg
BIGLY
Seriously! I tried to watch a Depression Quest playthrough on YouTube. It was...well you know.
Depressing?
A shitty HTML virtual novel that game journos think is high art.
Oh, I know what it is, I was making a pun about what it was like to
playwatchIt's in the ToS for .win
It's gonna take a lot longer than 4 years to make it great again. But we could at least hold what little we get back this time.
Oh we will. We have been fighting the leftists and their Chicom masters for a very long time. We even taught our AutoMod bot to transform into Liberty Prime and start spewing Anti-Chicom copypasta when it saw "China" and "Chinese" in the submission title.
It is something I really want the mods of TheDonald.win implement for some time now...
liberty prime is one of the best things games in general have given us, good call.
Sorry what's "Liberty Prime"?
I don't play games so I am unfamiliar.
https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/communist-detected-on-american-soil
Thank you!
I don't know too much either but I get the sense that Liberty Prime would be DJT if he was a robot/Transformer.
Liberty Prime is a five-story-tall robot from Fallout 3. It goes around and destroys communists with either laser beams built into its eyes or by throwing football-shaped nuclear bombs, all while spouting patriotism that can be heard miles away thanks to its loudspeakers.
When I first saw it in-game, I immediately thought it was the best thing ever!
Not american but I'm cheering for you guys.
What a kindlyman!
Some of us are getting you conservative allies in Aus and UK even if we can't vote for Trump. I doubt you want the anglosphere populated by Trudeaus Canada.
Did you see Aus PMs "yeah nah fuck China, lets ramp this shit up"? Was pretty good to see. Keep selling us the good stuff and we'll be right there with you as always. We'll try to keep Labor (left) out who dropped our defence spending to the lowest since WW2 I think.
The best version!
We have best .Wins don't we!
Yup, fuck off bane
Apparently there is some drama between KIA and KIA2. I don't really care bout all that. Save the drama for your llamas. But I'm glad both groups have joined us. Gamergate was my red pill moment. 5 guys burgers and fries and all that.
What's the difference between the two?
KIA was infiltrated by SJWs and leftists, who got mod positions and then began censoring the subreddit and forcing it to adopt left wing views while making more and more legit GamerGate content "off topic" and banworthy. Eventually it became no better than ResetEra and other SJW gaming forums. Those same SJW, communist mods now run the KIA .win, because all the simping for Reddit admins in the world can't save their subreddit.
KIA2 was formed due to the core userbase of KIA recognizing they were being subverted, so they split off and formed a new subreddit. KIA is more or less a dead subreddit now, circlejerked by the SJWs who infiltrated. KIA2 is the real KotakuinAction subreddit, and by extension the real .win site as well.
Wouldn’t it make more sense to give the KIA2 mods the KIA.win and tell the KIA mods to go get fucked?
Yes but the mods here decided to give the commies a platform.
Eww gay
Personally I don't care who has a platform. That's the beautiful thing about 1A.
KIA2 didn't like the censorship so they moved. Big fucking woop. The internal strife of a community is up to them to figure out.
Most of the people on KiA2 want the name as is because it serves as an indicator of what happened (one user on the .win described it as ‘scars’, which seems apt and made it sound cooler than it honestly is lol).
Also if they did it that would get rid of the half Kotaku joke, which they use to describe the first one since one is half of two.
lol it would, i mean we hate chicoms dont we? we didnt create this freedom haven to be run by chicoms, BUT, idk they do have their community there too with their own people who might not wanna be both coexist in a single site.
There's disagreements as to Exactly How Bad each of the mods are for their past actions, however, much of the bad blood largely comes from mods not wanting to give admins of reddit ANY actionable reason to nuke the sub, which they probably took a bit too far.
Yeah but if you are transitioning (not like THAT) from reddit to win it’s easier to know what you’re getting, perhaps?
I'm subbed to both but I see it more as KIA toeing the line to not get banned and keep the focus exclusively on pure-GG issues. Which they don't do perfectly.
KIA2 is basically the entire culture war which what GG morphed into for me, so I think it's great to have both. But KIA2 would have been much faster to the chopping block than KIA on reddit, and losing the best place for us to talk would have sucked balls.
So basically, thanks to the_don for setting this all up and allowing us to jump ship. Reddit is cancer.
Somehow it seems like history in the making that one .win site can now brigade another.
KiA mods put up a vote as to the direction of the sub moving forwards. Then ignored the result and did what they wanted anyway.
Basically to keep the scope extremely focused to gaming to the exclusion of all else. Alternately to continue also allowing more general culture war issues.
The vote was extremely in favor of the latter. The Mods decided to put the former in place anyway.
This act of authoritarianism by the Mods caused a schism resulting in the formation of KiA2. At first KiA mods were banning people just for posting on KiA2 but eventually un-bunched their panties a little.
KiA2 is now more active than KiA.
Stolen from KIA2, and I believe it:
I'm not fan of the KIA mods but let me offer a more charitable version of events.
The KIA mods were scared of the admins.
Many posters were not ready to take the redpill.
And many other posters wanted to stay focused on gaming and not wider politics.
As a result the mods began getting more and more restrictive with the rules, allowing only very narrowly focused content that was strictly gaming related.
A lot of us realized that Gamergate's issues were a small part of a larger culture war and we wanted to talk about all of it, not just a tiny piece.
There were disagreements, the KIA mods disregarded a community vote on the rules, and the community split into the "gaming only" KIA and the "culture war" KIA2.
Honestly I would have made the KIA2 site into CultureWar.win instead of KotakuInAction2.Win.
We don't even talk about Kotaku anymore.
Since people are going to ask "what's the difference between KiA and KiA2?"
Here's a good explanation from u/Throwawaycuzmeh:
Basically there was some drama where some mods got power hungry, some left-leaning mods got involved, started cracking down on users, ignoring the results of votes they asked for in the first place, start banning people. Other mods would do shit like delete a user's thread submission, then resubmit it themselves to reap the karma, get into petty arguments with users using their mod accounts, get the last word in then ban the users, etc. Just a lot of petty shit. I jumped ship to KiA2 not long after it formed.
Now I hope things can be repaired and that both subwins can flourish. It's probably not the worst idea for the two subs to continue on their divergent paths, with KiA being specifically about gaming journalism, and KiA2 being a more anti-SJW/culture war sub for topics that are wider than just video game journalism, such as comics, movies, anime, TV shows, tabletop gaming, etc. That's basically what ended up happening on reddit. KiA2 tried to narrow its focus and push out other views and other topics, KiA2 opened its focus to talk about anything culture war related in the general realm of "nerdy or weeb shit", and it's mostly worked out. There's no reason both can't continue to exist with their own missions and focus. I hope the hatchet at least gets put down if not buried and the drama can go away now that we're all no longer being poisoned by the toxic cloud known as reddit.
That sounds toxic as fuck, and a recipe for bleeding that poison all over the associated wins.
That's one of the reasons it's great the Win Mods set it up to be associated by separate sites.
Don't worry about it. KiA and KiA2 have been good at leaving each other alone.
How would that happen? Over the years, I've completely forgotten that half-KIA even exists. I'm pretty sure most people have forgotten about it, considering its activity is like 1/4 of ours, haha.
We couldn't actively ignore each other harder.
Not gonna happen. We understand the nature of the Beast.
If this story is even remotely true I dont think they belong on a .win site. But then again we arent here to shut down others freedom of speech - theyre welcome to it in their own space.
I'm never going to log in on KiA 0.5 - I don't trust them even that much.
It's not, but the narrative machine will keep on spinning, because asspained people want to believe they could never be on the wrong side of an argument.
The KiA mod team is about a third right wingers, a third left wingers, and a third yuropoors of various leanings. This has been our rough makeup for the last 4-5 years, including multiple retirements and new mod hires. I'm one of the center-right mods, several mods are to my right, and the mod who generated the most hate from the eventual KiA2 community was one of our farthest right mods who did a good job of separating her personal political beliefs from her ability to enforce our rules as written.
We wrote our rules with a few goals in mind - to keep a focus on games journalism ethics issues first and foremost, to keep the admins from coming down on our heads for being such a controversial area of the early culture war, and to keep our fully politically mixed community from turning on each other like piranhas. Some people did not appreciate that last aspect of how we ran things, and turned into piranhas trying to eliminate anyone who didn't agree with their tribalistic view of the world - many of those people became a core of what is now KiA2.
Even if it were, my position would be that its not our job to deny you space to talk about what you want to talk about. No one should do that. As I like to say, 2A protects 1A even if you dont like whats being said.
As a lifelong 2A advocate, I agree fully.
So...when is politics.win going to appear?
I'd like a politics board that's not cucked to one side or the other, where actual thoughtful discussion can be had on a wide range of political events and news from all sides.
Is that even possible today?
You mean a free and open discussion and debate of ideas? I doubt the average user on r/politics would stick around when we put their ideas through scrutiny.
I know lots of things but the most important thing I know is that I don't know everything.
I'm open to hearing out any and all thoughts and ideas however the person making them needs to understand that those thoughts and ideas are subject to an open and honest analysis and debate.
Attempts to silence honest political debate on something just makes the person or persons attempting the silencing not even human in my eyes.
And for those people, I care not if they live or die - their entire existence just becomes irrelevant to humanity.
I won't even acknowledge their pathetic pleas to "help" or "call the cops" or "call 911".
They're not even worth the time it would take to watch them die horribly and in great pain.
I agree with your points on debate, but I wouldn't wish evil on any of these small fry. My biggest beef is with the people that manipulate these lemmings. The corrupt who hold the power. Many of these people are just brainwashed and it's not entirely their fault.
The people may be brainwashed but they still empower that politician. When is enough, enough?
I don't have the answers pede. I just want America to flourish. We need to fight back with words as long as we possibly can. If worst comes to worst then the only future I can see is through civil war. I don't want it to come to that.
I used to feel that way but at this point it's just people voting for communism. They know what they're doing, everyone took History class in school.
Since Trump's election things I thought I knew, I surely did not.
I thought I understood the Deep State. Oh God I surely didn't.
I thought I knew the NWO. I wasn't close.

What do you think of Q? I'm not a Q person, but just curious
Problem with the left nowadays is that they are so far away from a normal common sense platform -- even relatively normal people who vote Democrat or consider themselves center-left are in complete denial about these things if you actually calmly and logically talk things through with them -- that it's impossible to have a free and open debate with them without it immediately devolving into accusations of racism sexism transphobia islamophobia blah blah.
Here's a few.
"There is no scientific evidence, and in fact the studies have disproven the conspiracy theory that blacks are targeted by police or subject to more killing."
"Self-determination, the right of a people to govern themselves and create the laws they live under including laws about who may immigrate to their country, is a fundamental human right. Move to another country is not a right at all."
"There are two genders and humans can not change their gender by wishing it like some kind of fish."
"Climate scientists have been caught discussing ways to alter their data because the evidence did not support the global warming conclusions they had hoped for."
"Studies have shown that funding refugees to be housed and protected close to their home countries until it is safe costs as little as 1/10th the price that it does to relocate them vast distances to western countries where they have no ties or common cultural or language backgrounds. So wishing for limited resources to be spent on that is a wish to leave behind 9 of the least fortunate of them to war and homelessness and starvation for every one you take."
"0bama, Bush, Bill and Hillary, Mueller, etc are warmongers and criminals who have repeatedly lied to the American people to go to war and regime change and foreign intervention."
"Trans people have the same rights as everybody else."
"Mohammed who muslims consider the perfect man was a child raping pedofile warmonger who owned slaves and raped them and beat women and slaughtered people."
Here's a real doozy, "there is no evidence Trump colluded with Putin to hack the election, and there never was. Everything was fabricated and lied about, and you all got fooled by it because you're gullible and believe everything your politicians and news corporations tell you."
Try bring up any of these "hate-facts" and have a calm debate with even the most reasonable leftist about it and they'll quickly lose their minds.
I get it man. Anything that may be a touchy subject to these leftist are an instant REEEEEEEEE! What can we do?
When we were on Reddit this community was responsible for red pilling many. Some people are impossible to reason with, but there are still many that will eventually listen to reason.
REEE my emotions!
I'd like a free and open discussion and debate of ideas among Americans - or rather anyone who would put their life on the line to preserve freedom. Frankly, I don't care how Europe does it or how China does it. Foreigners love American politics and always voice their opinion in these subs. Then other foreigners come by and pump that shit up and its just nonsense absolute communist bullshit.
It is pretty annoying with all these Eurofags pushing their bullshit on us.
Piers Cuck Morgan tweeted it was depressing that we had 8 million plus guns purchased since March, 40% being new gun owners.
Sorry FAG, your country's rules suck fucking cuck ass!
That dude already got destroyed by Ben Shapiro, Alex Jones and Ted Nugent.
It's tough. You would need a mod board that is split down the middle. If one of the mods slacks in their duties then the other side will abuse the majority. Human nature and all that. Plus upvotes allow the mob to control the narrative. This format is not conducive to bilateral political discourse.
Simple solution - get rid of the whole "collapse downvoted comment" feature.
Let their comments stand wide-open along with their downvotes.
Upvotes and downvotes do nothing but show how many agree or disagree and should have no other function.
They won't raise a good comment to the top or dump a bad comment to the bottom.
Have switches at the top of every thread that can be used to filter like one is used to however have them all disabled at the start.
And for the love of God have a nice "Fuck Reddit" switch that turns all that shit off.
Wait, people actually use "collapse downvoted comment" feature? Cause downvoted comments are usually by far the most insightful for me. Probably because I'm a massive contrarian.
I think it'd work.
No voting then
You mean... kind of like chans?
Maybe just upvoting, like here.
Too hard.
Let’s just open politics.win and pretend it’s totally neutral but in reality we just ban/silence anyone who’s left of Alex Jones
The best case scenario for this in my opinion is for politicalcompassmemes.win to be established. Its moderators respect and promote free speech and have created an environment where anyone can voice their political views without the fear of being attacked by the opposing side for no good reason. In the end, everyone there just wants to grill and have a good time.
The hardest of hard fucking passes on that one. Conquest's Second Law. Any organization not explicitly right-wing sooner or later becomes left-wing. I don't want any of that "both sides" bullshit on any .win. Any time anyone on the right tries to branch off and say "We'll create a true free speech platform that isn't biased", the Left comes along and says "well that means we have to have equal power too right? You don't want to break your own principles after all". And then once that happens, it quickly gets flipped to being another Leftst infiltrated stronghold.
When you're dying of thirst in the desert, you don't finally find water and then decide to mix in half bleach to make sure poison and not-poison both get a fair deal. If you want Leftist poison, you can always go to reddit for that side. Let all .win sites always be explicitly and deliberately right-leaning, and never budge from that.
This is O Sullivan's law.
And I agree. I don't want both sides, I want the largest America First/anti-commie site fleet possible.
Agreed. .win’s expansion should be careful not to import too much reddit soy.

You can have left-wing communities hosted by right-wing hosters, though. If the hosters actually got cucked, then of course the whole thing would go the way of reddit. But I think that would be an issue whether or not they host anything not explicitly right-wing. And I haven't seen anything to suggest the hosters would be susceptible to that. In fact, they seem to be doing what they can to avoid that possibility.
The other potential issue is being overtaken by a hostile userbase. But fortunately there are already way too many existing users for that to happen to the general .win network, whether it be from the left, or the nutty right like what happened to voat.
And if the mods of an individual .win got cucked? Well, in the case of something with a neutral title like politics, they wouldn't be adequately doing their job anymore, would they?
This is politics.win.
Shout out to all the red pilled folks at KiA2. Welcome home.
KiA2 is the real site for GamerGate. KiA1 has cucked mods who censor shit they don't like. They really belong on reddit.
Please, for the love of God pedes.... Use KIA2 and not KIA. There is a reason it exists and that's because KIA got corrupted years ago and has had admin installed SJW mods running the joint while Bane let them. KIA is compromised. They have narratives to keep and agendas to push. KIA has a fraction of the comments and upvotes that KIA2 does because the large majority of the most active users all have either been banned for wrongthink or left to go to KIA2.
Want to know what people of the actual KIA 1/2 communities think?

I really don't care, at this moment, of the inner workings of the best site on the internet.
Robert Conquest’s Three Laws of Politics:
Everyone is conservative about what he knows best.
Any organization not explicitly right-wing sooner or later becomes left-wing.
The simplest way to explain the behavior of any bureaucratic organization is to assume that it is controlled by a cabal of its enemies.
that's why there are 2 KiAs. One for normies that get squeamish from jokes and then "Normal" people in KiA2.
We need to get an actual shitredditsays.win going. Expose their lunacy as much as possible.
Get rid of reddit screenshots on here, and dedicate an entire community for those type of posts.
Thank you, SPS is in perpetual danger.
I honestly don't know how it survived the purge.
Yeah I tried messaging the mods at SPS but my account is suspended so it won't go thru...at least not for another week or whatever. (Called Spez a pedophile)
If you're able to, I can just paste for you what I wrote up for em.
Sure, just PM me and I'll see what I can do.
Holy shit, that sounds like a blast to browse, I'd LOVE to be in on that.
watchredditdie.win ? although they're currently pushing ruqqus, honestly I dont mind the idea of ruqquus they currently can do something we can't (people made communities, all in one site) but it's just... it would need an enormous push to become a real competitor and actually active, it's 100k in alexa, saidit feels dead and it's 44k.
Look up v/MeanwhileonReddit on voat, there's plenty material.
The only issue is it encourages traffic to Reddit.
You basically got it right.
However there is nothing wrong with people who disagree with mods/admins starting their own space with their own rules.
KIA has it's place, as does KIA2.
Personally, I prefer KIA2, but I also also still use KIA. Just different moderation styles and different rules.
More wins means more freedom.
This.
Basically we are the captains now. We hold the power.
Baked delights matter!
Pretty much what happened.
That's a great question, I don't know why half-KIA came here considering that they basically hated T_D and used it as an example of what kind of sub not to be. I don't mind them being here, though, it's just curious.
There's beef about the mods basically and the direction of the two subs.
"Beef" is a bit of an understatement; the mods of KotakuInAction (without the "2") largely betrayed their userbase by becoming the leftist monsters many users of their sub were at war against.
It aint my fight. Those userbases can hash it out themselves and let the best ideas win. I'm simply glad we are giving a platform to both sides even if we are more closely related to KiA2. I've been on KiA quite a bit these past couple days and they seem chill to me.
This, we are giving them a place to share their memes, chat, and discuss their opinions openly without judgement or spez like censorship. I welcome all to the win platform.
I'm glad you're with me on this one Pede. What the mods are doing is special. I hope it turns out to be everything the disenfranchised hoped it will be. We are all in this fight together now.
So far the people at KiA have been very cordial. I agree.
Wait... Is .win allowing non-maga subs? Are we what social media should have been or the conservative version of their nonsense?
The sub split. KotakuInAction had strict moderation. Partially to try to avoid getting banned from reddit and partially to try and keep things on topic. KotakuInAction2 went with light to no moderation.
KIA1 probably overmoderated and a lot of relevant stuff wasn't allowed, but KIA2 is probably a bit too unfocused and a little spammy.
Original has Jacobin mods.
Jacobins? Lets not bring them here...
The Better KiA.
The regular KiA has mods that are totally cucked for reddit's leadership.
I love seeing all these different groups coming together in support of free speech. I think we're on the cusp of the next big thing here.
Congrats
Can we get a FatPeopleHate.win ?
r/FatPeopleHate was one of the early reddit bans
isnt that on voat?
Yeah, but voat sucks
Sounds like KIA 1 is cucked and KIA 2 is the real deal.
Are you going to provide links to the sub.wins from thedonald.wins main page? Thanks
It’s available on communities.win I believe
https://communities.win/p/GIEblc8H/list-of-win-communities/
Here is a list of the win communities.
“Dedicated to promoting ethics in journalism, and opposing censorship and political correctness.”
In other words, everything that Reddit’s totalitarian ChiCom overlords oppose.
GAMERS RISE UP
With the glass ceiling broken, all the oppressed groups shall prosper. Especially the most oppressed group of all...
GAMERS
BOTTOM TEXT
So many wins! So much freedom!
Welcome home, frenz
For those who are just coming on board - in reference to Crigler's mentioning of China buying off Democrats... here's a video you may want to watch that just leads you a bit further down the rabbit hole.

Much respect to the Kotakupn community and thank you for coming to .win . recognizing the importance of free speech and the ability to have dialog with fact driven information. The ability to disagree and help build in a common goal. Its funny cause we all might use our energy in different goals in life. We are all fighting a common enemy. With Google AI, fact checkers and policy police running wild in there company. You see how twitter and reddit are lock and step with there ruler. Whonyoubare, what value you bring to this world, your hardest to obey the law and have some rype of morale compass means notbong. Your communities are a waste of time . Big tech obeys a different set of guidelines and laws. Just another piece of fear in the masses questioning the narrative. I will add that because of there left is right, right is wrong mindset. May we rejoice in this moment when we are coming together to break the Big Tech Wall of censorship. It is a great day for the freedom of the internet and the freedom of speech. A bastion few countries control anymore and the more we break through on all fronts the quicker this shit ends until they reform. Evil always comes back. A special thanks to the creators and admins of .win. I been with you beautiful patriots when President Trump came down that golden elevator. Thanks for hearing the communities voice and banded together to do something about it. Reddit use to stand for something that was the freedome of information and an uncensored internet. God bless you all and to your success and all the other communities success. omegaCanada and Im sure there and new ones popping up.
Awesome, they are a good group of people. Open minded, absolutely hate they media. Frens.
All we ever wanted was to play video games. And now look where we are.
If you want to defeat Reddit you need to make it easy to travel between the WIN communities easily.
On the Top of thedonald.win put a bar with easy to click links to various other WIN sites. Eventually we can have hundreds and you choose which to display.
Also FUCK COMMIES, FUCK CHINA, FUCK ISRAEL
Maybe the default color scheme should be adjusted a little bit. Straight up grey on grey is kind of ugly. The banner for hot/new/rising/top being blue by default or something would make a huge difference.
Time for the mods to think about the official.win logo. Maybe something with a eagle and some red, white, and blue.
Logo is being worked on.
If any developers wish to propose CSS changes for the default template, they're welcome. We didn't expect communities to go live without customizing their CSS.
Can't wait to see it. Given the design of t_d, I'm sure it will be great.
Keep up the great work, this is yuge!
I'm sure they're working on it.
Please make soyboys.win
Very epic! Lets keep winning!
CAN WE GET A TUTORIAL ON MAKING .WIN COMMUNTIES STICKIED?
Good lord
Just wait for kia3!
Is there a chance that we will be able to have a front page similar to reddit with a compilation of all of these sub communities?
We need to get ice_poseidon2.win
The community got banned from Reddit 8 months ago and moved to saidit, but it's not a great site.
Let them now they can contact the T_D mods.
Thanks for the help, Trump bois. It won't be forgotten! We'll try to be lovely neighbours.
When you guys feel up to it, You should make an AMA.win and bring on some big name ppl to bring attention to the platform.
I just realized "GenderCritical" was banned. I dont know if they need a .win but they need to go somewhere. A sane take on the whole QTAXYZBPTADFAF part of the LGB movement, which has been largely co-opted by people who favor pedophilia or just are straight up have mental disorders. It was always refreshing reading their subreddit. felt like an honest place for women to talk about , well womanhood.
A .win exposing transgender lunacy is definitely needed, but not one run by radical manhating feminists, who stop being far left only when it bites them in the ass.
We need mascots for each of these communities...
Shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, and tits.
George would need an entire special to recite the list of contemporary "dirty words".
I want scjerk.win
No Squaredcircle though. That place stinks. scjerk ONLY!
I thought our login info was suppose to work for subwins. I can't log in to any of them. Do we have to make new accounts for every win?
For peeps confused as where there's KotakuInAction and KotakuInAction2, it's a case of one of those famous reddit jannie drama blackjack and hookers stories, but in this case the new one ended up being a little more active. Kia2 is a bit looser and has a more general culture-war focus, while Kia is a bit more video game specific.
It's a fun place with mods that are only faggots sometimes, which for reddit jannies is pretty high praise.
r/fatpeoplehate? just to piss off the PC crowd lol
