I figured I would chip in some more. What EXACTLY is Gamergate? Not #gamergate, but Gamergate itself. Does anyone have a link to the site? It's moot to argue that Gamergate is evil if we don't know anything about them. AFAIK anti-#gamergate is right about how wrong the misogyny in video games is and how women are mistreated in the industry. I was talking with someone outside this forum and he was surprised at how people were able to actually find a female devs to persecute.
I read this article. It feels that #gamergate shows a deaper issue: polarized politics:

People choose to follow what their political party tells them to, instead of what they honestly believe is right or wrong. If our party tells us that bullying/misogyny/racism is OK, do we follow?
Why is this whole conversation pinned on Gamergate?
