The fallacy of GamerGate is also contextualized in this line: “but that’s actually what most GGs are concerned about.” How would you actually go about proving “most”? By being an anonymous group that’s opposed to formal organization or outward hierarchy, you cannot by any measure say “most” anything. This group cannot

It started with a video about someone’s sex life that turned out to be all fabricated and conspiracies and immediately went on the attack against women and still do. A quick Google search has debunked all of the things you or any GGer has said. You people in GG are morons and have spouted the same debunked information

You’re right. We have fucked up. Every single one of us has fucked up at one point or another —myself included, as any Dragon’s Crown fan will happily tell you. Should we have done a better job disclosing certain things? Absolutely. As Stephen pointed out back when this whole thing first started, one of Kotaku’s

LOL GG is the Tea Party of gaming. However there were no “Great intentions” at all. Did you know that the Tea Party was actually kick started by the Billionaire Koch brothers and not at all the “grass roots” rise up that people pretend it to be?

The “vocal minority” part was debunked months ago.

If you’re referring to that one guy dating that one girl... well... may I suggest you turn your efforts to uncovering why AAA studios keep fucking over their workers? We would greatly appreciate that, as it might lead to actual progress and not witch hunts fueled by blood lust and hate.

I don’t think that’s what is going on, at least anymore. People that still stand behind GG are the crazy people, the rest have moved on to some other name because the vocal minority ruined it for all the others. So when someone says they don’t like what GG is doing, they’re against the crazy people that still rally

You should probably also point out that feminism literally means equality. Pretending that feminism is anything but (or allowing people to say so) is just derailing again. Whatever other things someone who self-identifies as feminist may believe, it’s the belief in equality that makes them a feminist, just like anyone

“Feminism” in most of its forms has been the continuous attempt to address the long lasting and pervasive cultural, legal and personal inequality that has plagued women.

As time has gone on, “feminism” has expanded from its initially narrow goal of achieving political equality (largely deriving from Romantic and

Don’t you love it.

The thing about ‘ethics’ that bothers me is that for years we’ve had big popular games like Call of Duty and whatever Triple A game of the month take up ad space on the front page of a gaming website that’ll give that game a high score, and nobody said anything about it. It wasn’t until a woman may have slept with a

It actually started out as slutshaming, so sexism is at its core as well. And “ethics in journalism” — what a broad nonsense movement that no member of GamerGate even has a clue as to how to actually support. GamerGate has done nothing by the way of actually promoting these ill-defined “ethics” and it seems that its

I think the moment we all saw women taking more important roles in game development, we knew there would be some push back. The whole “ethics in journalism” thing was just a convenient rallying call. You can see it behind where and how they choose and fight their battles.

“Don’t push feminism on your reader (push equality!).”

Wait, GamerGate has a subreddit JUST for attacking Kotaku? That’s..... Hilarious. Keep up the good work Kotaku, and go home everyday knowing you pissed off gamergate. It should bring a smile to your faces.

I love this, after more than a year no one in GG has been able to explain what ethics in gaming journalism means.

This is one of the better responses I’ve seen. Well said!

What does ethics in Gaming journalism mean? How is gaming journalism currently unethical? Does a single company have a monopoly on gaming journalism, or do you have a wide variety of journalists to choose from? How is gaming journalism different than say, cinematic journalism, or literary journalism? Do those forms of
