What does everyone think about gamergate? It's being censored on all game news sites, neogaf, reddit, and a bit on 4chan, but the topic is popular on twitter. A nexon employee signed the 1300 game devs against harassment and they're threatening gamers by saying that they contacted the fbi.

Well there's been a lot of bad stuff going on that was very disproportionate, and I'm not talking about her stupid whining about the peeps at Wizardchan or what it's called. The outlash is unsurprising but certainly a convenient distraction for the original culprits.

It's about gamers asking for better gaming journalism. But if you read stories about it on news sites, they're trying to spin it into some anti-feminism movement.

Indie game journalism being influenced by favors, sex and money.
There's moderators on Neogaf, r/gaming, 4chan, rockpapershotgun, kotaku, destructoid, various gaming blogs who are involved and remove discussions of this.
Gaming journalism then started insulting 'gamers'.
#gamersgate is the defense

Like almost every field of journalism being corrupt on one level or another then. Unfortunately a very normal thing.

It's easier to sway the small websites like Kotaku and rockpapershotgun because they don't make much money and rely on clickbait/general audience.
This issue is large to the point where there are moderators on social media involved like r/gaming, neogaf and 4chan
Ironically, major presses like IGN are not involved with this issue at all.

don't forget how they're slandering the term "gamer" as some misogynistic white male rapist who doesn't want da femilz takin dere gamez
the feminazis rush to zoe quinn and anita sarkeesian's rescue even though the hate they've received is minimal seeing how they only use the same 2 or 3 screenshots over and over
these journalists are trying pretty hard to cover their own asses, not admitting that they've fucked up and feminism or whatever bullshit ideology you follow doesn't belong in the gaming industry
feminists are cunts, man

Phil Fish is being investigated by the FBI for racketeering.
But I already heard he fled to Europe.
