The 2015 Hugo award winners have been announced. The whole "puppygate" ordeal ( a couple asshole white guys threatened by women and people of color who twerked the system to flood in their nominee) was met by the highest turnout of voters ever )a whole unch of peopel newly paid their dues to be able to vote.
And the result?
This will be the year of the asterik.
Not a single Puppy-endorsed candidate took home a rocket. In the five categories that had only Puppy-provided nominees on the ballot—Best Novella, Best Short Story, Best Related Work, and Best Editor for Short and for Long Form—voters instead preferred “No Award.” That's as many "no awards" as there have been in the entire history of the Hugos.
This was pretty much the best possible outcome… and no one wants to be "the author that only won because they were a non-Puppy".
So... will that result deter the puppies next year? Or some restructuring int he nomination process? We will see.

Nah, They're trying again next year (Or so they say)
I read the Breitbart article about this, and they're actually trying to spin this as a win for them.
"Do you believe this?! The SJWs are SO EVIL AND CORRUPT that they would rather BURN DOWN the Hugos with a blaze of 'No Awards' to spite us than to simply vote on a poll that HAPPENED to include no SWJ candidates! By making them do that, we prove that we won!"
Basically circular argument.
Their WHOLE argument is that any story featuring prominent characters or issues pertaining to non white people, women, LGBT people, etc is INHERENTLY and OBJECTIVELY Bad. That it is somehow IMPOSSIBLE for anyone to legitimately consider these stories to actually be good. Therefore, they believe, that every single time a story of this nature gets nominated for an award, it MUST be a cabal of like-minded SJWs voting for an agenda rather than a story.
They then claim that they were simply fighting "Fire with fire" and doing the same, only they are "Open about it" so that makes them morally better than the secret cabal of people they have no actual evidence exists beyond the fact that a whole lotta stories they don't like somehow keep getting nominated despite the fact that they don't like them.
Now they're using the fact that IN RESPONSE to them, people actually jumped up to vote against them. The fact that the wave against them was so absolute is now being used by them as proof that this "SJW Cabal" exists. I mean, if it didn't, then how did they get beat?
Forget the fact that if this cabal apparently exists, and is SO numerous and powerful that they could cause a complete no-win for the puppies, then how did the "Cabal" let them fill the slate with their nominees at all in the first place?
Reasonable people realize that any organized resistance to the puppies rose AFTER the puppies started their campaign, and no such organized voting existed before the puppies, but the puppies will take this as proof of their point.
Apparently Wondercon is voting to overhaul voting on the Hugos to not let an organized group take over the awards so easily, but they apparently can't vote on them when the event isn't in session. They will vote on the overhauls at NEXT YEAR'S Hugos, and if the overhaul passes, they will enact them at the 2017 Hugos… meaning the puppies will probably try to hijack the awards at least one more time.
So... when the inevitable resistance to the puppies pops up in time for next year's Hugos, they will take that resistance as further proof of the Cabal... but if we leave them alone and just have people vote for what they like, the puppies will dominate the ballot again. This is a no-win situation now. The Hugos are effectively broken until the overhaul takes place.

Hey guys. I don't know where I was going to post this video since it has some stuff about GamerGate at the beginning. But?
The user was a former leader gone Renegade. Yeah. The guy who made the Zoe and five guys video about the "conspiracy theory" of her "sleeping" with five guys viral video. Basically left ship! And has a few things to say about a all Chans out there.

So this week during their broadcast dub of Prison School, Funimation made a Gamergate joke. There are many problems with the joke (out of place, forced, will be dated in less than a year) but the biggest one is that GG thinks they're relevant again, and you can expect Funi to get LOTS of shit for that.

For real?! Oh god! -_- And I used to be apart of that group of individuals…. Now I'm just embarrassed that I'm only remembered as their pawn in their system.
Thank god I left the GG boat while almost having my identity hacked by anonymous hackers!

''imagine if SJWs and feminists got Highschool DxD''
Guess what. Funimation owns and dubs that series. Sucks to be you.
And now, they're under the dellusion that Funimation should feel threatened by their boycott.

Now that joke was actually funny and not like "Your part of the illuminati, so that means you're evil!" and crap.
It would've be a harmless joke to tell close friends about. But… It became something worse. God I hate my life? :getlost:

I'm more amused Funimation threw in a Fonz reference. And it's Caitlin Glass, top tier voice actress. :)
But seriously, reading the comments just gave me a headache. It's really just a topical reference they felt like throwing in, and I would assume an anime called "Prison School" has nothing to do with gaming.
Hell, one episode of Panty and Stocking, dubbed Stocking says "I would so have his abortion". I would think a line like that would be a little more dicey than referencing Gamergate of all things.

The world is a cruel mistress. These days, people can be triggered over a stupid word. It's pathetic if you ask me?

Reading over some more comments, the line was kinda out-there reference-wise (the girl more or less pulls rank of her grade year in the Japanese version), but whatevs, it's one line in one scene.

I find it hilarious that Gaters of all people are so easy to trigger.

I'm sure the forum thread will bring civil discuss-ok I'm not gonna kid myself, first two posts are already cringe worthy.
Though there are a few bright spots
This is going to be the only thing I say on this matter, and then I'll be done.
Being one of the moderators on FUNimation's forums, I have heard from an official source that FUNimation and the writers have talked to Tyson personally and asked him to refrain from referencing GamerGate in any more of their dubs, to which he has agreed. Also, they are considering re-dubbing the line for the home video release, but they have not yet made the decision to do so just yet.
Just thought I should pass that along. On a personal level, I've had to deal with this matter on the FUNi forums since the dub debuted, and quite frankly I'm tired of it. The sooner we can all put this behind us, the better.

I gleaned some of that thread last night I had to close the page but not because of some of the butthurt but because I didn't wanna get locked into reading the 13 or so pages that were there on the subject.
-
I really don't see why it would have to be redubbed. It was a one-line reference, spoken in the same scene as the Fonz was mentioned. The character didn't start ranting for sentence after sentence about Gamergaters.
Maybe changing the line just to make it closer to the Japanese version? That would be understandable at least…...no no, even then it's just one scene. Many scenes would have go hay-wire with references for them to say "you know what? let's be a little more accurate here, guys."
Although refraining from using it in future scenes, now that makes sense. It's too specific of a reference and I don't think that anime is centered on the ethics of gaming journalism.
-
Gaters should know that if they give in to a single reference like that, it just means that the opposite side wins.
-
Nah, no one wins because there never was a real debate to begin with.
I don't defend the act of changing the intent of a line to add in a joke for shits and giggles. However, when GGs claim that they don't care that they're being poked fun and just dislike the writing liberties this show take only to ONLY talk about the gamergate line…they're not really making their stance look credible.
I also don't like the way Tyson Rinehart (the ADR guy who wrote the line) handled things on Twitter. I can sympathize with the fact that he must have gotten a lot of hatemail and stuff and even if you're a decent person there's only so much you can take before you snap. The problem is that his attitude only added more fuel to the fire and too many people can't grasp the concept that his views and statements do not reflect those of his company.

i can't believe the corrupt journalists won

The problem for me is that its not something like South Park. There was no reason to embroil themselves into the poo-flinging arena, and when they did it just made all the rational people lose.

Glancing at this anime it looks like one of the dumbest goddamn things I've ever seen, so who the hell cares if it wasn't faithfully dubbed lol.

"writer must be fired"
Is Gamergate like Voldemort now? You can't say its name out loud? Jesus.

JFC, they're still at it?
It was one line dammit. And Rinehart didn't even MEAN anything by it. You guys are the ones who read way too much into it and threw a fit.
If you decide to boycott one of America's biggest licensor of anime because of something that minor, it just shows you don't actually give a rat's ass about the industry. Heck, I'm willing to bet they already go with fansubs and torrents.
