Magnum Flare 553 October 23, 2014 Share October 23, 2014 Over the past months, I've been seeing cases of Gamergate. Now I know I've read some of the news, but I still can't wrap my head around it. Can someone explain what happened in Gamergate. Also, what's your opinion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banul 3,831 October 23, 2014 Share October 23, 2014 A game developer slept with a journalist from Kotaku (who didn't actually review her game) and got everyone all butthurt. I guess it lead people to think that there is some kind of SJW illuminati conspiracy when it comes to game journalism. A group of people claim to be fighting for more ethics in game journalism. It gets drowned out by constant death threats to several female figures in the game industry that are so bad that some of them have left their homes. Pretty much a big 'ol shitstorm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARagY 1,152 October 23, 2014 Share October 23, 2014 At first I didn't really care and stayed fairly neutral on it until I realised how deep the rabbit hole was 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Strife 928 October 23, 2014 Share October 23, 2014 Regardless of what legitimate point Gamergate may have made, nothing excuses their terrible treatment of women and their threats toward them. Now, I don't agree with Anita Sarkeesian, nor do I think she's the most innocent woman in the world (she scammed a bunch of people, after all), I don't think that she deserves the barrage of death threats and being chased out of her home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
