reading KotakuInAction like I love that she made this gif and there's still a bunch of angry people who don't get that she's just trolling.

video game/all journalism has been awful for decades
anita sarkeesian is a hack/puppet

gamergate was a shitty movement that started shouting threats over the internet like its xbox f***ing live then decided they wanted to be taken seriously so of course their gonna use those threats against them.

I agree I think everything that was going to be said has been. I mean I won't object if you close it. Although let me say this. I'm kind of happy that there is a lot of people who hate both sides. Puts a smile on my face.

My enjoyment of this really ends with laughing at or being made uncomfortable by the more zealous people on either side. The issue/cause is so nebulous and pointless, but goddamn Brianna and Milo are some ridiculous people. "Ah hates SJWS!/GAMERGA8RS SPILLED COFFEE ON MY LAPTOP SHITLORDS!" Eh, I'll give Wu a lot more leeway given how rough this stuff has made her life, both professional and personal. I can't imagine somebody sending me messages that include not only threats, but my address. I did think it was pretty funny when Quinn went undercover on one of the message boards where a lot of the GG "ringleaders" would meet and discuss strategies, took screen caps, and then published everything. Kind of killed the whole "ethics" part of it; a real issue that warrants addressing, but GG was never the "movement" meant to make a dent in it.

There was actually a bunch of flaws on the "ringleaders"screencap if i`m not mistaken,but i`m too lazy and tired to go look for it,so i`m sure someone else will be willing to do if by tomorrow no one does i might look for it.

Actually that was a 4chan chatlog and she nitpick through a couple week worth of chatlog for "proof" and when I mean "proof" she actually edit and took stuff out if context to suit her. m.imgur.com/a/Mfh61Here a imgur album showing the difference between the actually chatlog and the screencaps that quinn posted as "proof"

There's no context that makes it sound better.

Honestly, outside of a few posts, this has been going much better than I expected. Kudos to everyone involved here. You've made papa bear proud.

I just read what this was about on wiki. Unsurprisingly, I think it's stupid. All of it.
Well, the people who run wiki are biased, and one of them is an anti-GG who was paid to make it that way so that wasn't the source you should have used. If you want a better neutral source look it up on Know You Meme. There's also wiki.gamergate.me if you want it explained by someone in GG themselves.
Only one person who runs Wikipedia are anti-GG, Jimmy Wales. He told GG to f*** off and I agree with him there. Even then the Wikipedia article is far more fair and balanced than KYM or the GG wiki will ever be. The only thing the GG wiki is good for is seeing which sites and people support GG so I know to avoid them like the plague.

Nah,Jimmy Wales himself doesn`t have that much power over wiki and nothing is more balanced than KYM articles.Eveything written in their articles are straight facts and showing all views. The comments and gallery,not so much,the article is much moe fair and balanced.

That maybe true except for the fact that an editor on the page was caught being paid to edit. That's fact. Wikipedia the most trusted source on the internet can change history or facts based on how much some one is willing to pay. How is that not screwed up. Plus it leave out a lot of information. Hell that page uses Polygon has a trust worthy source, but when anybody tries to bring in the article from them after the SPJ panel it's denied.
