Yeah, I know you prefer me and others to shut up rather than discuss or defend actions of a gaming blogger. Do you support Leigh Alexander's article "Gamers are dead" and her promise to destroy a career of a female developer? Why do you and your lot always try to ignore this?RexMundane said:Your second point is a pretty naked attempt to try and derail the conversation. As to your first, what evidence exactly? I mean assuming we're agreed that the bit last week where he misrepresented the SFPD in order to rile everyone up over Sarkeesian again was outright wrong of him, what else is there? In nearly a month the only thing he's "uncovered" is the mailing list, and reading the emails doesn't really support the idea of industry-wide collusion that you lot have been on about for all this time, not even if you only read the ones he cherry-picked for you. What exactly is there to bother with refuting?
Milo reported information from SFPD, when they gave him new information, he updated accordingly.
Ahem, no. Leaked e-mails show how gaming bloggers coordinated a first wave of articles on the same day against Gamergate. They're that bad in damage control that with their clumsy attempt they only exposed themselves.

Then they decided to make a letter of support and tried to hide behind game developers. But thankfully not all of game bloggers supported this idea, some even said about "the incestuous relationship between press and developers" and "It feels wrong to me. I think it feels very off to reach across the fence from journalist to subject in this way. I prefer professional distance, especially given the accusations being levied at us from outside. "
I like the signed letter of support idea. Even better if we can get some developers in on that. Anyone want to volunteer to draft something?

I'd also suggest that - if others think the letter is a good idea - we should do this entirely under the radar, organizing it through word-of-mouth and email rather than Twitter. I made the mistake earlier of publicly voicing support and in doing so drawing more attention to the issue. I'd rather not make that mistake again.

As sympathetic as I am to the horrible harassment Zoe faced, I think this incident has raised enough questions about the incestuous relationship between press and developers already.

I would prefer not to be associated with this. It feels wrong to me. I think it feels very off to reach across the fence from journalist to subject in this way. I prefer professional distance, especially given the accusations being levied at us from outside.
