Fuck GamerGate.

Not only is it the stupidest name ever, do to not being a conspiracy and not actually being about games, but it shouldn't be news to anyone that journalism as performed by people who're not actually educated journalists is rife with nepotism, bribery, and general favoritism.
It should be no surprise that award shows arranged by these people are rigged.

Aside from that, videogames are now the biggest entertainment industry, so it is bound to have more shadowy dealings than even the movie industry.

GamerGate is a bunch of teenagers and Peter Pan syndrome 20-somethings acting like something is being taken away from them, or that their way of life is threatened. At this point they are getting louder and more nonsensical than even the 3rd gen feminists on tumblr.

Ultimately, the discussion of who paid who to say what is NOT a discussion about video games, and if anything illegal has happened, internet vigilantism is the least effective way to deal with it.
