I don't know if you still want to discuss this any further or enlighten me. But honestly, the more I'm looking into this the more I am siding with gamergate. The anti-GG side, or at least whoever has been vocal on it and the journalists writing for that side, has been using more online attacks and ad-hominem instead of facts and examples to get their points across. And it seems like they attack anything and everything in gaming that wasn't produced by a certain type of developer and don't care for gaming for the playability of the games and the entertainment/hobby value, only if it is sending a message they agreee with. On the other hand, I do feel that the GG side is not letting some of the issues in gaming be highlighted and has been very defensive in protecting their hobby and what they believe gaming is. But, for them, I will at least say that they are consistent with exposing unethical journalism in gaming. I don't know who struck first, I haven't gone that far back yet (I'm looking mostly at recent articles and summaries/breakdowns from both sides), if the harassing was greater on the GG side in the beginning, which knowing what the video game culture was like and how it hates large scale change, I can believe it. But, I feel like, at least from what I've read, that the anti-GG side is now doing more of the harassing and automatically dismissing any opinions/writers that align themselves with GG regardless of what they have to say. Whoever decided that GG was the bad guys has been very efficient in spreading that message and making sure people are extremely hesitant to really look into them and give them a chance to explain their side. Lat note, and this is just a personal viewpoint. Anytime the media is quick to jump the gun on stories and 'news' in favor of one side of an argument, without fact checking or waiting for the situation to fully present itself, I become skeptical of the side they support, and the media is very very anti-GG and gamers at it has always been. This ties in to the media claiming gaming causes violence even when studies have shown that to not be true and continue to do so over the years. I feel as though the media tries its best to damage gaming and discourage it as a hobby and if they are supporting the anti-GG side in this argument that makes me skeptical of the arguments the anti-GG has, that's just a personal thing though. In the end, I'm not aligning myself with either, I'm going to play the games I like to play. Pushing for a better gaming environment for women and decreasing the sexualization of women is a positive thing in my eyes. If that's all that anti-GG was doing and all that GG was fighting against I would definitely be on the anti-GG side.
