Please portray that gamergate community as they should be... And NOT ALL GAMERS.
I don't really give a shit at this point.

Reminds me that one show where they tried to beat Prince of Persia to unlock some hackers files, and the Detective was talking about how he could do it because he still had his star wars costume in his mom's basement etc. And then as he's playing, they cut to some girl who's like pretending to play the game with an imaginary controller and they give it to her and she easily beats the game. So cringe worthy though. Does anyone remember the show?
Let's see how they portray this episode though. Haven't really kept up with the GamerGate news beyond how the early days of how it started. Is it still relevant or no? They shouldn't try and portray both sides as equal either. That's the biggest problem. People pretend both sides have equal say. GamerGate is largely harassment for the women in gaming. There is no redeeming quality to the GamerGate movement no matter how deluded they think they are, or that they're saving games journalism.
It's not really relevant anymore. The gaters are still acting the same way they do on twitter while some of the sites gaters use are now trying to hurt their opponents by swatting them and plotting vile things that can also affect their opponents.
Unfortunately, Law & Order is off the air, along with Criminal Intent. SVU still airs though!
Criminal Intent sucked hard though and it had a horrible intro music compared to Original and SVU.
This episode man...let the fuckery begin!
Yeah. I stopped watching when Anthony Anderson joined the show, because he is TERRIBLE. But now that he's gone, I might pop in more often.
Still gonna sound beep-boop like an 80s game. Which I guess is what a lot of indie game do sound like.Apparently there will be real indie games depicted in the episode.

I heard that Ice-T changed his nickname to Mountain-Dew for a month in order to get a better feel of the gaming community.

I know video game inspired episodes are almost universally ridiculous, but I am going to be legitimately furious is the twist is that the game developer was faking the threats to promote herself/her game. Hell, anything that even remotely suggests the bullshit gamergate has been putting it's victims through was justified would make me throw a rock at my screen.
They'll have one side "win" and in the last seconds of the episode we'll get something to show us that the other side wasn't completely wrong.
what does this have to do with gamergate?
That'll still be pretty gross.
From what I've seen SVU likes to show how gross people can be no matter who they are.
Uh, boy, you're going to have to refresh me on exactly what sort of shows had the quality of stuff like True Detective, House of Cards, Sons of Anarchy, etc. Like, I'll give you Seinfeld and maybe X-Files, butTherefore, public opinion needs to be engineered to ostracize those who aren't drooling in front of the screen watching TV, ignorant of how far quality has slid from what it was 20 years ago. In 1995, shows with the quality level of Breaking Bad or Game of Thrones were the norm, now they're the "best thing ever".
...I'm not sure if we're going to be on the same wavelength here.God I miss the good old days of shows like Friends and Buffy. At least shite like DeGrassi and 90210 were exceptions rather than norms.

Remember, this is American TV, it is the agenda of the executives to demonize any medium that is not TV. If Big Johnny is enjoying himself in Smash, he is not contributing to the ratings. Not contributing to the ratings equals not contributing to the margins, and the investors prefer their margins as high as possible. Therefore, public opinion needs to be engineered to ostracize those who aren't drooling in front of the screen watching TV, ignorant of how far quality has slid from what it was 20 years ago. In 1995, shows with the quality level of Breaking Bad or Game of Thrones were the norm, now they're the "best thing ever". Things like that need to be distracted of by warning the populace of "the evils and moral quagmire of video games".

... did you seriously just put Friends and Buffy on the same level of House of Cards and Breaking Bad?
