What the hell is gamer gate anyway? I thought it was about how some indie dev slept with a magazine guy and a bunch of dorks got pissy.


Yeah I'm not sure what it is either. Something about sexism and the gaming community which is a concern. But I don't know why it elicits such a response from those who dislike Zo and Anita or vice versa. The whole thing seems like a TV drama that some people are invested in but it keeps getting reported for some reason.

If this isn't what gamer gate is then anyone reading this is free to correct me.


basically it is about corrupt gaming journalism where reviews are paid for in money or favours and in the case of Zoe supposedly in sexual favours. The sexism part came in the heated attacks between Zoe and the gamers accusing her, basically they went way way overboard in the attacks allowing Zoe to paint herself as a victim and over time the whole corruption part has taken a backseat to her campaign about sexism and her being victimised.
