What I'm saying is that it's better the change the name of the movement than to be ascosiated with misogynistic assholes, isn't it? GamerGate is now very closely ascosiated with that kind of treatment of women, so it's better to move on and change the name of the game. Even from the very start GG got ties with harassments and death threats. And would you mind giving me links to the articles you were talking about with regards to gamers and such? The attack on gaming culture? Thx =) |
The reason they want the hashtag dead is because of how widely used it has become, if the movement made a new hashtag and it looked as if it were gaining traction on twitter, the media would simply draw comparisons and thus link the two, completely defeating the point.
If you think the media will happily sit by and let a movement that stands to expose their corruption gather enough traction and be taken seriously enough to pose them a thread, you've not really thought about the motivations enough.
Would a bent cop do his duty and protect a whitness intending to expose him?
