"This rage-ful, over-entitled, Internet-connected fraternity of kids share one core skill: playing games. Little wonder, then, they have proved so expert at driving a toxic hellbrew of misogyny into the mainstream media — and all over social media — by gaming popular online channels using a sophisticated playbook of disruption."
So many lies and misrepresentations in such a short space. GamerGate has nothing to do with misogyny, it's about ethics in game journalism. There has been almost NO coverage of the other side by the mainstream media so if there's any toxic hellbrew in there, it's been carried by the anti-GG people. GamerGate stands for dialogue, inclusivity, ethics and transparency because of the reprehensible behaviour of some game journalists and individuals connected with them. There is absolutely no evidence connecting the movement with death threats made and even if there was, you cannot judge the core by the fringe. If that were true then we could judge the entire anti-GG side by Zoe Quinn who is a manipulative, hypocritical sociopath who has done a great deal of harm to women in gaming.
And as for gaming online channels? It works both ways.
