What's a gamer gator?


Apparently some guy got really vocal about most game reviewers, being white males or females.
Then because of the sh*tstorm it kicked up, he got fired (he was black).

Now theres tons of people retweeting "notyourshield" (we wont defend your actions).

This is all about hireing more black people as game reviewers, as far as I can understand from just briefly looking at it.

Again I feel this thing is really blown out of purportions.

Oh so this is a seperate thing to gamergate? First i heard about it.

People should be hired on their merits, readers don't care about the race of whos reviewing the game.Besides, personally i give much more credit to aggregate user reviews/rating rather than the opinion of one reviewer on a site like gamespot.
