This status quo is exhausting for everyone involved. That doesn't mean we won't cover it. We will, with renewed vigor. But I—we—will also continue to hope that everyone involved can find common ground and, more importantly than ever, I think, some calm. We could all use a rest.
It really has nothing to do with Zoe and who she does or doesn't jump into bed with. I got my skin in the game after the "gamers are dead, gamers are over, etc" articles. It unfairly paints a rather large consumer base. As a biracial, bisexual, I had Leigh Alexander call me a wailing, angry, white man. I took umbrage…
Basically Sarkesian twists the truths and is a complete liar. I forget what the video is called, but in one of her videos she says that Hitman is sexist because in one part there are two women, who you aren't supposed to kill and will lose points if you kill them, and she says that it is sexist because it makes men…
It says less about me sending an email to Mercedes pointing out bad behavior than Gawker Media lining their pockets with Mercedes ad money.
And ultimately, you and your parent/sister sites are responsible for spreading a lot of the misinformation that this is only a one-sided harassment campaign. Individuals on both sides of the tag have been targeted in coordinated doxxing campaigns ever since the original "Zoe Post". You, as an editor, have chosen to…
As someone who has followed you for a long time (I still remember watching you with Michael Pachter and N'Gai Croal I believe it was) are you or anyone else commenting on what seems to be an exodus of advertisers with the GG crowd taking credit for each one? I am no GG, I am someone who would simply like to see a big…
As well-intentioned as you might be, your wishes for this to simply "be over" are ruined by virtue of your call for peace being a non-starter; you don't get to say you're tired of the whole thing and then in the same breath, resort to the tired straw-man which continues to perpetuate the argument.
Are we really tired of GamerGate, Stephen? Or is this more biased activist journalism trying to brainwash us into being tired of it? Hey. I'm just asking questions! What? I thought this was America! Do you SJW PC Game-Hating Super Facists have something against questions and America?

I think the problem is that 'GamerGate' could've been a real force for good in changing attitudes and how we treat each other online and that things like Swatting and extreme threats need to stop. Instead it turned into yet another argument about women's rights and became extremely opinionated where there was no…
Yet none of them have posted evidence of the threats. Even police departments have verified that no reports had been made involving Anita. Stop trying to silence anyone who doesn't agree with your opinion. Its just the same as allegedly condoning violence by allegedly trying to silence them.
I don't disagree with you. Not even a little. I just feel that the biggest thing hurting the overall goal is who is speaking up, and how they are speaking. There are far too many uneducated "whiners" spewing irrelevance, and stooping to the same level of attack, belittlement, slander, and hate. It's ridiculous. …
Of course not! You are 100% correct. I'm not implying that you shouldn't talk about it. But arguing with the enemy won't get you anywhere. Ever.
You mean like how Kotaku is accused of having one of their authors review a game after Zoe Quinn slept with them? Except that said review never happened?
Really? This bullshit still? Honestly, and speaking 100% from the heart, people should most definitely stand up for themselves. At the same time though, don't stoop to the same level as the guilty party. If someone threatens your life, simply call the police. It doesn't need to be a internet whine-fest. If…
You're wrong, I don't even identify with #GamerGate but it originally was a direct response to the "death of gamers" BS that essentially tried to portray anyone who called themselves a "Gamer" (which I apologetically do) as a misogynistic troll.
Both sides fucking suck. One side for constantly portraying gamers as misogynistic asshats, and the other for feeding into this label by having a bunch of turds doing exactly what the press is chastising gamers for. You done fucked it up.
Well, when you attack the press and the press control the press all the news you see will be about how the people attacking the press are the scum of the earth.
