I would hope this post is made in satire?

You know that the stereo types on either side of the argument which were being thrown about were just as bad as each other, neither side is as the opposition paints them to be.

That said... gamergate as a whole can be described as people getting value out of poor choices in degrees at college basically.

Of course.

The issue with those Gamergates, were that they were acting as though they were fighting some unimaginably large crusade against some unimaginably gigantic and terrible demon army. They kept trying to derail threads about gaming, spamming up youtube comment sections with their bullshit of stuff that didn't exist. The one thing they proved is how idiotic and whiney the scum at the bottom of gamer culture could be.

Well of course, that's the thing to remember in everything, there is always extremeists in every field, there will legitimately be some guy somewhere that feels sick when a female name passes by the credits roll of a game he enjoyed, because she isn't in the kitchen making him a sandwich etc.

There is also people who are on the wrong end of the other extreme, sickened by the thought that men exist and get paid for the work they do, looking down on Women who fit into a family role and raise and love their kids because they are under the patriarchy.

Thing to remember is those are just the extreme ends of the scale and every sane person knows those views are too far, but every sane person also needs to know that those are not the views shared by every member on both sides of an argument, it's perfectly fine to question the wage gap if it exists in the same field of work, it's equally perfectly fine to question why a female is being injected artifically into a project just to "balance the gender figures" both of those issues are worthy of discussion... just not in the caps ridden, youtube comments section methodology that some people think is best.
