Not while there are still women in the gaming industry, eh?
Sad people.
You can keep going with those tactics but most have already wised up to it. That line will work with msm support only once but if gamergate persists the gaming media are going to have to change. I would refine your arguement if i was you because you're backing a losing horse there
And of course that 25 benefits video just failed to mention just who those people were..

Just some of the negativity thrown at total biscuit, disturbing because the man is beyond reasonable, yet if you don't side with these people, you become their enemy. http://i.imgur.com/n6BX8sr.png
And christ... https://twitter.com/RogueStarGamez suspended again. Twitter caved into these peoples demands, you are now allowed to be outraged for another person and report on their behalf, leading to brigading against people to get them silenced. And of course these people claim to be the victims when their tactics are clearly those of bullies.
Have mainly been a lurker but just wanted to say fair play to you for these posts. I don't understand those who say no one is interested, as for me it's the exact opposite. I can't say I look at everything but there are bits I do that are genuinely interesting on several levels.
Keep up the good work. Some people, including me, do appreciate your efforts.
I've been having a good look into gamergate over the past few weeks and I've been pleasantly surprised by the whole thing.
In fact, I've been a bit disappointed that none of the active people appears to be 'woman hating misogynists' who go off and mad rants and launch hate campaigns because I'm not going to lie, I find reading 'mad rants' very funny.
Also, for a misogynistic hate group there appear to be a lot of women involved with it.
The anti side also appears to be made up of a lot of men. It's pretty absurd that most of the 'us women aren't welcome in gaming' are coming from people who aren't even women.
BTW Depression quest is not a game and it's a pretty terrible version of whatever it is supposed to be.

It gets even more amusing when you see the anti-GG crowd trying to prevent a game from being green-lit on Steam because of their pro-GG stance. What's amusing about that you ask? The game is made by a two person team = a man and a woman, and it's the female member of the team that they were targeting on twitter, because of her views - they didn't seem to give a stuff about the bloke and his views.
Once the news got out, the GG crowd defended onto Steam to vote the game up and got it approved.
So...exactly who is trying to keep women out of the games industry again?
Actual doxing and harrassment, even contacting employers to get people fired are the tactics of Anti GG.
RE: Why I'm Ok With Doxing (video response to Rebecca Watson)

Because as moviebob of the anti GG side says, "There are no bad tactics, only bad targets.".
WTF - Pleb Comics loses her job after SJW's doxx her and contact her employer
MundaneMatt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Doe6omL08bY
These people target individuals because they cannot win on the merits of their arguments, its why they always resort to the smear of "misogyny". Even when its become so inconvenient that they are calling women misogynists now.
Anti GG has such a problem with doxxing one of their prominent members has had to admit they have to turn down the numerous offers of personal information on GG people. Anyways almost all the major GG members have already been doxed so they are just probably running out of targets. http://www.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/comments/2on01j/just_so_youre_all_aware_the_antigg_side_has_a/ http://i.imgur.com/Q2UYek4.jpg
All their claims are projection.
You only have to look at which side is actually fearful of what the other is doing. Anti GG will go after you in every way, getting people banned on twitter and everywhere else the can manage to silence people, never mind taking it to more personal areas. Its why pro GG devs have to remain anonymous, they would face a witch hunting campaign if they came out at this point. While anti GG claims to be harassed, their behavior shows different, As pointed out before. http://theralphretort.com/did-deceitful-brianna-wu-pull-biggest-con/
Brianna was so "scared" she lied about fleeing her home.
The behavior of continuous instigation of the most vicious kind tells you what kind of game they are playing, they hide behind the mask of victimhood so they can in turn have no limits on their own behavior. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B0UXptWCAAIh0Ul.jpg:large http://i.imgur.com/YjS5UdP.png https://archive.today/fyUcZ http://i.imgur.com/VOW8Ldi.jpg http://i.imgur.com/Z8Sbyzu.png https://twitter.com/PixelGoth/status/538961563042844673 http://i.imgur.com/onmK5BA.jpg
There are countless more, these people behave like the nastiest grade school clique out there, and yet they are adults, nearing middle age many of them even, and they can't help but to spew epithets continuously, they are not victims, these are people who are finding every excuse they can to abuse other people.
Irony is that in japan women actually write the manga comics they want to read, its a thriving industry, all the while western feminists just complain...
Attacking 8chan and others through patreon, going after webhosts and everything else to try to silence people...
Talking of 8chan, the accusations being levelled at GamerGate by proxy via 8chan today is frankly the most disturbing and abhorrent thing that I have ever witnessed in my time on this planet. I thought UKIP using the abuse and exploitation of around a thousand children in Rotherham to unveil a poster to politically point-score against the Labour party was grossly distasteful, the actions of a number of people on the opposing side of the debate makes UKIP's poster seem pleasant and appealing in comparison.

I think Ruthus and Nefrati picked up on exactly what I was on about and the fact that opponents of GamerGate on Twitter are defending this behaviour disturbs me intensely.
If you see pictures of abuse and exploitation of children, you alert the authorities, you do not maintain a cache of the images, download them, blur them and present them as undeniable proof as part of a campaign to pursue an agenda against GamerGate via 8chan of the most disgusting and abhorrent allegation you could level at anyone. Morally indefensible. Not only has the person doing the expose now pointed out where people can find CP, other opponents of GamerGate are spreading this information, they've tipped off the perpetrators who'll now do what they can to cover up their crime and compromise any potential investigation that could have caught these people if only the "investigative journalist" had reported them to the authorities. Most of all, the people who will suffer most are the children who suffered as a result of people taking and distributing the pictures and may now never see justice as a result of this.
Is there any level opponents of GamerGate won't stoop to?
GG remains an utter, laughable nonsense that has festered in the cesspits of the internet. The fact that its supporters are saying that they support 8chan not removing child porn due to 'freedom of speech' principles shows the sort of people it attracts. AGAIN.
If GG wanted to be taken seriously perhaps they should sort themselves out as an actual movement. As it is, they're only associated with gross behaviour and idiotic whining about an industry they don't make a blind bit of difference in. People are either disgusted by them or laughing at them and they've done nothing to change that (cue: 'the press are against us!'/'it's a smear campaign!'/'sjw are evil!' whining).

Well I guess that's your opinion and you're entitled to it, but for me. the above is totally misrepresenting and misunderstanding what it's all about. It's far more than just the (incorrect) labels you've attached above.
I wouldn't class myself as a massive gamer per se (although I am a bit partial to the odd bit of xbox from time to time, I must admit) but this whole issue highlights way more than corruption/ ethics in the gaming industry or what you've written here. The issue of game journalism ethics is way down on my list of why this is so interesting.
For me this is a fascinating insight into how many can manipulate the media and jump on an initial cause to further their own agendas, using a quite remarkable knack for propaganda and misrepresentation. This whole thing has opened up a pandora's box and it's fascinating to observe, from a media/ psychology etc point of view.
I have just as little time for sexist misogynists types as I do radical feminists/ social justice warriors who claim to be standing up for feminism but in fact are as far removed from the actual concept as it's possible to be.
I do find many people who don't look at the bigger picture rather dismissive of it, despite demonstrating that they have no real understanding of what they are actually being dismissive of.

HAve you actually looked into Gamergate or have you just seen a few tweets and decided that we are all cretins?
Very sad to see rational wiki go down the rad fem agenda...
On Wikipedia, the criticism section of the Radical Feminism article has been deleted wholesale without discussion or consensus. I suspect anyone who attempts to restore it will have their edits reverted and account blocked. Similar style ideological agendas and editing have been done to the GamerGate article.
The BBC of course once again just puts out a slanted piece, lead in and lead out of lies.

You can find out who they are on encyclopediadramatica, its sad when that site is more accurate than wikipedia these days.
Chris chan made it into the news again because of his/her attack on gamestop.
You can find more info on that at dramatica again. But its a strange thing I've noticed, some of these people are basically pseudo transexuals, its like they have taken on that identity for the immunity it gives them in their behavior.
Comments
Of course it's not a man v woman thing. Most male gamers are perfectly sane, rational people.
It's a 'creepy, obsessional misogynist v woman' thing.
You still appear to be confused.
For the record, I have just as little time for creepy misogynist types as I do pathetic 'waaah, I'm a victim/ all men are bad' misandrist types.
Now that's equality.

If you see pictures of abuse and exploitation of children, you alert the authorities, you do not maintain a cache of the images, download them, blur them and present them as undeniable proof as part of a campaign to pursue an agenda against GamerGate via 8chan of the most disgusting and abhorrent allegation you could level at anyone. Morally indefensible. Not only has the person doing the expose now pointed out where people can find CP, other opponents of GamerGate are spreading this information, they've tipped off the perpetrators who'll now do what they can to cover up their crime and compromise any potential investigation that could have caught these people if only the "investigative journalist" had reported them to the authorities.

As it is, they're only associated with gross behaviour and idiotic whining about an industry they don't make a blind bit of difference in. People are either disgusted by them or laughing at them and they've done nothing to change that (cue: 'the press are against us!'/'it's a smear campaign!'/'sjw are evil!' whining).

Hypocrisy and going after peoples employment for disagreeing with him on twitter. Apparently any disagreement with a woman online is "harassment", but taking away someones livelyhood is just fun and games...
The BBC of course once again just puts out a slanted piece, lead in and lead out of lies.

You can find more info on that at dramatica again. But its a strange thing I've noticed, some of these people are basically pseudo transexuals, its like they have taken on that identity for the immunity it gives them in their behavior.
