David’s role as a moderator was to prevent anyone from doing exactly what he did. KiA users have been wondering what might happen in exactly this situation for months. “Quite pathetic coming from someone who was here from the very beginning and saw with his own eyes all the shit that gaming journalists and SJWs did to gaming.”

#KOTAKU IN ACTIO HOW TO#
“My theory is that the other mods didn't bend over to his will and that annoyed him enough for him to plan how to nuke this subreddit,” u/Synchrotr0n wrote. As long as we don't do anything genuinely bad, they are perfectly happy to let us live in our own little bubble.” “They don't want us stirring shit in r/games or other subs like that. “KiA was allowed to exist from the start as a control sub, a quarantine zone,” u/Notalent13 wrote. Instead of forcing KiA faithful to question their roles in the community-as David likely intended his protest to do-most commenters on the various threads about the subject now on KiA are doubling-down on what drew them to the subreddit in the first place: A way to voice divisive, often-toxic opinions on everything but games.

I’ve reached out to David and will update if I hear back.

And often times molded by outside forces.” He mentioned r/The_Donald as one of those outside forces, which he called “a viral cancer that is destroying the minds of millions of Reddit users each day.” He ends the post with links to the US voter registration site and progressive advocacy group Indivisible.

“The users have created content that should not be,” he wrote. Seeking help from within the community to wrangle a hoard of gamers while decrying any actual moderation as censorship turned out to be a more burdensome task than he could handle. “Hate speech was allowed, but I was having difficulty defining everything So I began seeking help from users that I believed had the subreddit's purpose and shared my own vision for its future.” “Free speech needs protection, even unwanted and hurtful speech,” he wrote. In theory, it started as a way to discuss “ethics in video game journalism” but the movement itself is well-known for its harassment campaigns and general move toward r/the_donald-style politics.ĭavid’s post about the history and evolution of the subreddit reveals a deeply conflicted person, who feels responsible for creating a monster in KiA. R/KotakuinAction was founded in 2014 as one of the main forums for GamerGate.

Then, sprinkle in some radfems who've stumbled into Kotaku from Jezebel who take offense to the gamers' annoyed comments and you get a perpetual motion machine that takes shit, spins it round and round, and spits out more shit.Rather than letting another right-wing bastion die from infighting, a Reddit admin worked with the mod team to restore it, and Reddit told me that David’s actions are under investigation. So combine a writer who primarily writes for Jezebel on a gaming article, and you get a bunch of angry gamers (a few who may actually be misogynists but most who are just annoyed at that bullshit). Not only that, but some of the writers for the blogs bounce around from site to site. The way the sites are run, you can comment to any of the blogs with one name, so those attracted by the one blog will bleed into the others. Jezebel is a very feminist blog, and thus attracts the more radical members. The thing is, it is part of a large group of sister blogs, and one of these sister blogs is Jezebel. Kotaku is a blog site that focuses on gaming. So KotakuInAction is a sub that discusses absurdly stupid comments posted on the blog Kotaku. TumblrInAction started the trend of _InAction to be a sub that points out the absurd claims some radical SJWs say on different sites.
