I think its time for a "union label". Well folks, the other night I had an idea that I wish I'd had sooner as it'd be implemented by now..well, least I hope it would. We're part consumer revolt and consumer watchdog at this point and I think its time we had some kind of label or grading system for game devs, gaming studios, and gaming news sites. What we're up against isn't just an ideology from lunatics who claim to be feminists, liberals progressives, conservatives yadda, we're up against business too and the only thing that business cares about is money. The sad thing is that in this clique all these people support each other financially when they can, we've seen this with the many conflicts of interest on patreon from bloggers and indie devs so that supporting any of these clowns may end up being supporting multiple clowns. So I propose a grading system(maybe ESRB style, for irony) that can be applied to the 3 categories of game dev, game studio and game blogging(they aren't journalists, they fail that criteria) sites. This is ultimately going to be a democratic project that we all need to sort out and agree on to the best of our abilities. We can work out whatever graphics and stuff people think would be appropriate at a later date but for now we need to work out what kind of grading system. This idea isnt specifically to create a grade system that encourages boycotting, but more so "buyer beware", something we should all be more mindful of when it comes to spending our money on entertainment. I'm thinking we have a score of 1-4, A McIntosh scale for SJW shit, a Totillo Scale for Ethics in journalism and a fucktard scale for scumbag studios who are known for poor customer treatment as well as safety. We should also have a 1-4 scale on gaming news sites, devs, and studios who are out there to do their jobs the best they can and deserve our money, clicks, and praise. Maybe like a "Vivians choice" scale. For example if you purchase a new game written by Anthony Burch, I could see him getting a "Full McIntosh", the highest rating on the score card which means that its going to be filled with SJW bullshit, psudeo intellectual nonsense and any money this guy receives will be used to propagate the SJW agenda that exists to co-opt whatever it can. You are free to buy any game you want,all this grading system is meant to do is remind you of where your money is going if you purchase this guys work. We're all adults and are free to make our own choices, especially when its our money that we earn. In regards to game studios who have a known track record of poor customer service and or treatment of their customers in general, like what we've seen from EA I would rate them as "Full fucktard" from their general scumbag business practices but also not informing their customers of massive account hacking and trying to hide it. In regards to gaming blogging sites, these are the ones who we score on ethical reporting and not pushing a nonsense narrative, so Kotaku would get a maximum Tottilo score on not giving a fuck and pretending its the audiences fault where as the Escapist could be scored via Vivians choice. The part where we all work together is do we want to use a 4(or an "8 half star system") point scoring system? Its overly simplistic and is crude, but at the same time its easy to read and is also adjustable. The key is to get this label system going to help keep tabs on devs, sites, and studios so that people don't have to not be sure about who to support, and who to be cautious about. I think that this rating system is probably the next big step in gamergate because it will speed up everyone's info on these subjects and since we're transitioning to consumer watchdog now its time to rate these devs,studios and sites with a simple open scoring system that we can use as a label to warn consumers or praise devs, studios, or sites. I'd like to think we can come up with scores that almost everyone can agree with, but that's impossible so this is where things get tricky. I would think that the best way to handle this would be to have individual pages on each where people can read the facts on each and then vote on things accordingly. But this is all a concept at this point, what do you all think?
