So here it is boys, Gawker has finally ceased operations and their shitposting came to an end. I felt that it deserved it's own thread since they have targeted the "manosphere" and certain RVFers as well.

It's funny that cuck Nick Denton even mentions the red pill on his last post.

Although, I am a bit sad that Gawker is gone. I used to be a 24/7 Gawker reader just as I joined RVF, it provided a continuous stream of content to help me go through my day while jobless and fresh out of college. Hamilton Nolan's shit posts about inequality and how the elites should perish were irritating me....then, I found RVF while trying to find another blog (Maverick Traveler).

Irritated at Shitlord Nolan's post, mainly him being a coddled yuppie writing about poverty or trying to protect minorities while never experienced it, I started to read Fisto's SEA/DR thread and the other things that were poppin' at the time while reading Gawker less by the day. RVF was so full of positivity that it was able to keep me going through the day.

In other words, Gawker led me to the red pill. And for that, I am thankful to Gawker for leading me a path to better myself.

Either way, let's rejoice that the Gawker Media Castle has imploded.

This calls for a drink.

Ha!

It says whoever wrote the original article about hulk hogan has a $230 million dollar hold on his checking account. That would be a funny looking ATM receipt.

Aloha!

Yeah man, Hulk's lawyers are going through his "assets" and even want to take possession of his $14 rice cooker. The author got textbook definition of being taken to the cleaners. Not to mention, his net worth was -$27,000 before the trial started, due to student loans.

Karma is served.

@geomann: A drink and some hookah!

This is fucking great news!

Are it's subsidiaries like Jizzabel shutting too?

To the victor belong the spoils!
Is Hulk supposed to eat his chicken with broccoli only?
He needs some carbs to smash SJWs and the dishonest media!

I love the saltiness on their page right now!

This is actually a dupe of the "Gawker Files for Bankruptcy" thread, which charted the effects of the Hogan lawsuit from the start.

I'd also hold off on the celebrating. I see a downside. SJW writers tend to be like rats or crickets. Just when you think you've gotten rid of them all, they start turning up in unexpected places.

I've noticed a few Gawker-ish reporters have recently turned up on mainstream news sites and are doing the round of CNN talk shows. I won't name names because they don't deserve the free publicity. But upon hearing/reading these people, my first though was that I wish they'd been relegated to Gawker instead of being courted by the bigtime press.

The problem with media is the incestuous New York culture that's spawned it. That's what's breeding the rats, so to speak. You can get rid of Gawker, but you also have the Observer, Esquire, Rolling Stone, Cosmo, the Daily Beast, and countless other places. And that's just print. There's also TV and the Web.

The best thing about this trial is that it's going to change the parameters of what these news groups can do to damage people's reputations. But it seems to me that the mainstream media's getting wind of Gawker's demise has only strengthened their resolve to be as partisan as possible by bringing Gawker types into their ranks.

The damage they have done to human relationships will still live on.

Although SJWs have tarnished his reputation and destroyed his chance from being WWE Hall of Fame, he provided to give us men one last Atomic Leg Drop on the face of Feminism.

^^^. Good stuff. Lol. Yeah if we can get rid of buzzfeed articles, but I do enjoy laughing at their videos. Simps and SjWs are entertaining to watch.

I found RVF through Gawker.

such great news! If only they could take buzzfeed down with them. I was just reading an article on there about some girl whining about receiving comments about her attractiveness or some shit like that online. Granted, the guys who do this are kinda beta but...is this really the biggest problem in your life?

Unsurprisingly, the remaining gawker properties (such as Kotaku and Jezebel) have been bought by Univision.

Also a stunning example of the male hamster from Denton

It is a fitting conclusion to this experiment in what happens when you let journalists say what they really think.

Outing people for being gay and publishing ill-gained sex tapes is really cutting edge journalism and their current offerings are of no higher standard: with the amount he goes on about being for Truth and Fearlessness in Journalim they should have better things to write about than "Clinton Campaign Manager Says Trump Might Be Putin 'Puppet'" or running the same non-story twice (once, twice).

Good riddance to bad news, and hopefully Peter Thiel will hound these scumbags til none of them have a penny to their name.

My only problem with them was their hipocrisy such as: Talking about male sex tapes is guud, stop posting female nude pics!

And other SWJ shit like: Murica doesn't help out the poor, lets burn the rich - Written by Upper Middle class faggot living off mommy & daddy (I know you can't survive in NYC on a 35K salary).

I did like some of their earlier writers like Caity Weaver and Adrian Chen, fucking hated HamNo, Biddle was aight.

So a billionaire gets to shut down a major media organisation just because they outed him as gay. Billionaires are too powerful. Isn't this like shutting down piracy websites? Won't another gossip website replace Gawker?

Really?? Sammy "bring back bullying" was one of the biggest cucks of all.

That's not what happened. Gawker violated the privacy of Hulk Hogan and that lead to the trial, the loss at the trial, and the resulting bankruptcy.

They are but the internet is the great equalizer. The rich are losing their propaganda tools (TV, radio, newspapers) as more and more people turn that shit off and getting their information online and from new sources.

Yes exactly. Shutting down a web site that pirated celebrity porn videos.

There will always be gossip sites but Gawker was especially vile.

Not only was Biddle a cuck, his "bring back bullying" tweet was the gasoline thrown in the simmering heat of GamerGate. Especially ironic given that people at Gawker are starting to acknowledge just how badly GamerGate beat them.

That's what Gawker gets for trying to mess with the Hulkster.

Goodbye and good riddance.

I've admired Peter Thiel for a long time.

His book Zero-To-One changed how I thought about starting my own business.

I love his idea of top-hustling kids starting businesses right out of high school

He's a part of that PayPal clan that includes Elon Musk (who isn't a red pill role model except in business) and been a part of Y-Combinator for a year or so too.

This is a beautiful layer of icing on the cake of his life.
