A gamergate meetup at a theatre, AKA "Local man taken down by dozens of nerds, dies screaming 'YOUR WAIFU IS TRASH!~"

[@BoolXor]

I literally don't know what kind of movie you could make from this... Nothing ever happens to her in the entirety of her supposed ordeal.

[@ElwoodPlays]

,,Bloodbath of memes'' I'm pretty sure that's a Churchill quote

+Elwood I'm sure it's a Mortal Combat ultra combo finisher

[@estherrosenfield9763]

The heads of every major film studio sit around a mahogany table in a shadowy room for their annual secret gathering. Each year, they meet to determine which movies will be made and which will be cast aside. Wisps of cigar smoke fill the air. One of the Warner Brothers takes minutes as the other goes through the agenda. "Alright gentlemen, now that young adult adaptations are settled, we've come to the biopic portion of the meeting. Space is tight this year, so unfortunately we'll only be able to release one movie based on someone's life story." Everyone in the room tenses up. They hadn't expected such a limited slate. A glass clinks awkwardly, breaking the silence. "We'll really need to capture the zeitgeist, then. No point wasting this slot on some old person. This has to be a film about someone who's currently relevant." The heads of Miramax and Sony awkwardly bow their heads. Looks like Eleanor Roosevelt and Albert Einstein will have to wait another year for the silver screen. The head of Paramount speaks up. "We need to face facts. Hollywood is dying. The movie industry is dying. But you know what will NEVER die?" Everyone stares at the man anxiously. They aren't accustomed to such brutal honesty in these meetings, but they can't help their fascination. Where is he going with this? "Gaming, gentlemen. Gaming will never die. Not without a little outside help, if you catch my drift. I propose that we use our biopic slot to make a film that will, let's say, change its fate." Suddenly, everyone understands. There's only one woman he could be talking about. The small exec from A24 pipes up in his thin, reedy voice. "B-but...I have friends in the games industry! They'll be ruined!" Several other voices murmur in agreement. The phlegmy voice of old Harvey Weinstein cuts through them all. "If there's one thing I've learned in my 120 years, it's that there are no friends in entertainment. Only enemies who greet you with a smile." Weinstein pauses, takes a long drag from his cigar, and stubs it out on his shoulder. "In the name of our feminist overlords...let's bury those sons of bitches."

[@Scawking]

Weinstein must have displeased his feminist overlords recently

[@zephyr6927]

Wow, that's good.

[@jpz719]

We did it reddit

[@WMan37]

COMMENTS SECTION QUARANTINE LINE: DO NOT CROSS Whatever your personal politics are on this, it's probably the best idea you don't come down here. You will be disappointed in humanity.

[@LondonLock]

KZbin comments in debates is 99% people who think they are smart for the side of the debate they are on while at the same time being just as dumb and doing the same shit as the average person on the other side

[@systemcm6978]

I get the sense this video is trying to make the people reacting to the fact that Zoe Quinn is getting a movie made about her as stupid as if the idea of a movie being made about her is any less dumb. What the hell is there to make a movie about?

[@BexRanner]

"KZbin Reacts to Zoe Quinn's Movie Deal" and then not showing the comments you're supposed to be mocking. Did the UN remove them before you could screencap them?

[@zakesters]

Perhaps I have become too cynical, but the comments chosen this time around were not quite as hysterical and inane as I was hoping for when I saw the title. I mean, some of them were a little bit hysterical and VoidBurger got a pretty inane one, but I just..wanted _more_. Especially more mind-staggeringly blithe condemnations of entire sections of people; definitely needed a few more of those. But so far the comments on the present video are working out!

[@joeb4303]

**makes popcorn**

[@70sman]

"can't gamergate sue her?" gamergate is neither a person nor a legal entity. so, no. gamergate cannot sue in the same way that bronies or Beatles fans as a group cannot sue.

[@PaladinusSP]

I am not going to sit through a stupid rant in the original video. Is there actually going to be a movie about dumb internet drama? If so, I can guarantee it's going to be absolutely horrendous and mock-worthy no matter what just as it's the case with anything surrounding said dumb internet drama.

[@Schwazoom]

+PaladinusSP Careful, they'll post this and say it in a whiny voice to prove some point!

[@PaladinusSP]

+Schwazoom Were you featured in the video or something? The comments there are pretty stupid point or no point.

[@GearyDigit]

+PaladinusSP The movie is likely going to be focused on the nature of online harassment and how much it impacts and bleeds into the 'real world'.

[@PaladinusSP]

Geary Is it going to be a documentary?

[@CowmanII]

+PaladinusSP The funniest thing is that I seriously doubt this is going to get a theatre release and if it does it probably won't be a wide release. I'm betting the majority of people who go see it or buy/rent/pirate the movie are going to be people trying to be "ironic" since they totally just bought/rented/pirated it to mock.

[@falloutgrizzly635]

the samurai snake cat picture is hilarious with that voice.

[@SamuraiSnake]

Three years later. That's hilarious.

[@attackofthecopyrightbots]

einstein just got a tv show actually lol finally

[@WannabeMarysue]

I for one welcome our Quinn overlords

[@RainbowLizardOne]

The last one is surprisingly true. That's all they can do. Rant.

[@skaruts]

+Lizard_Buttock You are unsurprisingly wrong. While some people only rant about them there are other people actually doing something. You know, like actually uncovering the demonstrably objective truth about them and exposing evidence of their lies.

[@ahs9674]

+skaruts LOL

[@steampunkerella]

+Lizard_Buttock they can (and do) shoot people

[@krisu0100]

+skaruts LOL

[@Loof42]

+skaruts LOL

[@YeTheGOATNoCap]

LITERALLY WHO?

[@sloopval2302]

This movie is not only going to flop, but It's going to bring down all of it's competitors. No one is going to go the movies knowing about the shitstorm that'll be brewing on this movie's opening weekend.

[@suplexthetrain]

+Sloop Cal Normal people won't care.

[@GearyDigit]

You mean like The Sarkeesian Effect?

[@kelsfavsarefull]

are we gonna get a youtube reacts for this youtube reacts because damn

[@proloser6878]

+kelsfavsarefull Nope: they don't want to acknowledge the fact that there are those who oppose the idea of such a movie who are not just blindly hateful, otherwise you cannot easily categorize said people as reactionary hate-mongers.

[@kelsfavsarefull]

+BraveBoner BreakerBatter can you name some other movies whose existence you oppose and why?

[@proloser6878]

kelsfavsarefull I never said I opposed it's existence, although I do feel a movie about internet drama is really, really stupid, actually that could be a good enough reason for it to not exist! Nope, I cannot think of any movies that should plain not exist, unless you count ones like I Spit on Your Grave or a Serbian Film which try to be offensive for the sake of it, but utterly fail in every aspect, it's not that I hate tasteless movies, but I do hate it when they try to make it look like anything else, and the lack of admittance from the film makers that they just wanted to make some offensive shit is a poor way to weasel out of the situation.

[@LadyDeSelby]

"If this movie gets made, free speech is ruined. Better start a petition to make sure that only free speech that we approve of gets made." I don't care about Quinn particularly but the fact that people care so much about hating her is childish. If nobody had gone out of their way to act stupid and get overly angry at her, she wouldn't be in such a famous position in the first place.

[@meowistforlife]

+TitansPrince false

[@gregorforrest5402]

+TitansPrince And the conspiracy theories role on!

[@LadyDeSelby]

+TitansPrince I never heard of her at all until people started complaining about her. Also, accusations that rely on puritan-era stereotyping don't look particularly reliable.

[@TitansPrince]

+Arale www.reddit.com/r/NoStupidQuestions/comments/2fgv39/is_there_any_proof_that_zoe_quinn_slept_with/ thezoepost.wordpress.com/ nichegamer.com/2014/08/the-schism-of-gaming-zoe-quinn-nepotism-and-white-knight-journalism/ www.breitbart.com/big-hollywood/2014/09/09/gamergate-why-gaming-journalists-keep-dragging-zoe-quinns-sex-life-into-the-spotlight/ You can call it what you want but when people fuck other people for positive press coverage and advertisement, that's nepotism bordering on prostitution. It has nothing to do with puritanism and everything to do with journalistic ethics. Failure to disclose personal relationships is a big no no unless you are an unethical hack with no credentials to speak of. And no one should trust or respect people who are unwilling to confront or admit their own biases. I have nothing against people having sex, but not only did she cheat on her boyfriend, which by her *own* definitions was *rape* (if you have sex with someone else while in a relationship then with your partner it is rape because they didn't consent to sleeping with the other person you slept with), but she has been proven to be a pathological liar and a hypocrite. Zoe Quinn is a piece of shit. Full stop. The death threats are completely unjustified and fucked up. No one will say otherwise. But when she does things like this www.crimeandfederalism.com/2014/12/margaret-pless-zoe-quinn.html and people try to defend her and make movies about how much of a victim she is, I can't help but wonder what world they think they live in.

[@TitansPrince]

+Gregor Forrest And the people with no cognitive ability to engage in discourse come out of the woodwork!

[@woooweee]

I was raped on twitter.

[@wishingW3L]

I believe you based on your avatar.

[@whocares427]

This reminds me of the FIFA movie.

[@JustEatThePie]

Who cares if this movie gets made? It's just going to make a small audience happy and that's it. Everyone else will be busy watching a better film anyways, so I couldn't care less about this.

[@Jaximous]

because it will be funny and bad

[@KorboQ]

You know what? This entire fucking debacle is absolutely inane. The inane comments are about the only good thing that's come of any of this stuff.

[@Changetheling]

command prompt: /ignore.

[@sugoistalin7809]

Honestly, Yes it is pretty stupid. But Hollywood has made many... many... many more movies that were just as stupid, if not worse. This isn't a new thing people. At worst, it's going get a cult following because... people. At best(?) it's going to get shit on by movie critics because It's stupid.

[@attackthem5]

How can you possibly make a movie over "cyberbullying"? What?

[@MrSingularity44]

+attackthem5 In the immortal words of Tyler the Creator: "Hahahahahahahaha How The Fuck Is Cyber Bullying Real Hahahaha Nigga Just Walk Away From The Screen Like Nigga Close Your Eyes Haha". Words to live by.

[@redblueandgray]

+MrSingularity44 ...and if you need to get back on? Or like using the internet?

[@proloser6878]

+redblueandgray Figure it out.

[@Letsplaymoron]

+MrSingularity44 i.imgur.com/BsYdzyU.gif If only he had turned off the computer, then the SWAT men would cease to exist in his house. You can't harass someone without being in their face, after all, there's no possible way to torment a person without being physically in their face!

[@MrSingularity44]

TheRightestdogwhohasthecorrectopinionallthetime Exactly! Glad to see you understand.

[@casualtr4sh]

fucking ESS JAY DUBYUS

[@drowzebra1308]

Why do they care so much? What am I even saying?

[@SlackerKite]

I don't care if this is going to be a good or a bad movie. If this is going to be bad or good for gaming...this is going to be the saltiest tear flavoured popcorn I am ever going to eat.

[@daveKoRnfan]

CATS!!!!!!

[@MxGerryNava]

Tears, tons of delicious tears

[@shotgunreaper]

That was a great quote to end on.

[@BigJuicyx3]

"GAMING WILL NEVER DIE, US GAMERS WILL UNITE AND CRUSH THE EVIL FEMINIST OVERLORDS THAT DARE TO TRY AND TAKE OUR VIDEOGAMES AWAY!" "That's nice honey, but mommy has to go to work now, please try to apply for a few jobs online and make sure you throw your empty soda cans in the trash, not on the floor, when I'm gone."

[@timekeeper2538]

That's modern feminists in a nutshell actually, the projection is strong in this one.

[@thetragicomical]

Wonder if they'll include the part where she emotionally abuses her ex-boyfriend.

[@attackofthecopyrightbots]

counter movie?

[@scottscully4325]

I hope Trent Reznor does the soundtrack.

[@MrSingularity44]

Wasn't she at the U.N. too? And now she gets a movie? This must be the work of an enemy stand!

[@gigantor068]

Why do people still care about Zoe Quinn?

[@Task1000]

KZbin reacts to #WTFU ...please.

[@GoneRampant]

I think it's safe to say that regardless of your stance on Gamergate, this is still gonna be a horrible film based on a horrible person that is only being made so that other horrible people can line their pockets. So like half of Hollywood already then.

[@ThunterFP]

Wait they are making movie about Zoe Quinn? why? What is there to even make a movie about i mean she is just a no body who abused her boyfriend and got called out for it by internet

[@redblueandgray]

Pity they didn't add yours to this video.

[@proloser6878]

+redblueandgray ...but that's exactly what happened... Oh right, all woman are victims, I forgot:)

[@ThunterFP]

+redblueandgray Why?

[@proloser6878]

***** You can't bring up facts, stay quiet!

[@proloser6878]

Yourpetcat meow "I will make a jokey comment because I feel the need to defend thy maiden" It's okay, one foot in front of the other...

[@LondonLock]

Zoe is made rich by the harassment she gets and it makes people forget her past Im not going to say its ok to dox and harass people even if they did in the past but a rich person complaining in the EU about how hard life is for them and how privileged everyone else is is honestly hysterical

[@boobio1]

And in the end they were right and you were wrong.

[@Leinad44]

So much scummery in one vid

[@cookiedoughman45]

I like your other "KZbin reacts" videos but these ones relating to GG are a bit irksome to me. There are plenty of reasons to be pro-GG (and there are members who may have acted irreverent so to speak but what movement/ideology doesn't have those occasional outliers). There are also numerous reasons to oppose Feminist Frequency, Quinn as well as 3rd wave feminism. It seems to me that Shesellssheshells strawmans GG to be "misogynists" or "assholes" and offers no cogent counter-points. You guys seem to be very close-minded and only respond to the dumbest of comments from your ideological enemies. I suppose that's always been a problem with your videos, and I'm only just now noticing it because I disagree with it. Also, do you guys in all honestly NOT believe that this movie is a stupid idea? Whatever, I guess instead you're just going to get someone to read my comment (as well as others on this video) in a funny voice rather than respond as some of the other comments seem to be suggesting. If you read mine get PsychedelicEyeball, that would at least be a treat to listen to.
