I wonder how we went from playing games to this.

oh boy

What? #GamerGate stems from the dissapointment after the Zoë Quinn debacle because it pulled into question the integrity of game journalism. He's beating the wrong bush here.

The type of people that my hobby attracts makes me sad. The fact that he just discredits the whole situation and calls anyone who discussing it one of the "200 nonspecifically disenfranchised manchildren". I mean, how is he better than any troll?

Every time EviLore rears his elfin-eared head, I think of this amazing thread (beware NSFW avatars).
