'Gamergate' is everything that is wrong with our 'culture'. It makes me ashamed to call myself a gamer and all right thinking and feeling people should feel the same way.
All 'gaters' are misogynistic scum who don't deserve the air they breath. Cowardly, woman hating bullies, hiding because the least legitimate cause in existence to excuse their vile, vitriolic rage.
Cracked have done some genuine journalism on the subject, people who aren't waste of human flesh and bone should read these before reaching a judgement on this grotesque 'movement'. |
"Cracked" and "Genuine Journalism" don't belong in the same sentence. Also, they misunderstood pretty much everything about Gamergate. It isn't about Zoe Quinn...it is about so much more than just one person. There are a few bad eggs, but there is a lot of good discussion points being discussed by people who genuinely care about the industry. All of those topics that call gamergate "misogynist" and whatnot are throwing apart all the good discussions that have come out of this and lumping it into something that most people who talk about Gamergate don't really care about. You take the bad with the good, but that saying goes the other way too...theres some bad in there, but there is a lot of good, and sweeping it under the rug or dismissing it as, well every derogative term you used in your post, isn't doing anyone any good.

I agree wholeheartedly that there is a clear lack of ethics in videogame journalism. But to argue that any good has arisen out of HOUNDING A WOMAN OUT OF HER HOME, for the greivous crime of having sex is just wrong.
And more to the point. Video game journalists being in bed (whether metaphorically or literally) with video game producers is a total non issue. It is literally unimportant.
Things more important than 'Gamegate': Poverty, AIDs, Islamic State, Scottish Independance. Also; fucking ANYTHING.
