Gamer babies collectively throwing tantrums and pissing their diapers over misinformation due to lack of basic research? Extremely obvious fake tweets and 4chan used as primary sources? Even MORE "Anita is going to take away muh precious vidya games" conspiracies? "Misandry"? ACTUAL PETITIONS? Oh my god, thank you. I really needed that laugh today.

This isn't about the truth. It's about ethics in games journalism.

And raging about women feminists witches Anita Sarkeesian the totally not made up war on gamers.

Noone is going to come into a thread about Anita Sarkeesian to discuss journalism ethics. All you are gonna get in here are "i agree with everything she says", "i agree with her side, but not her points" or the occasional trolls.

Taking the trolls such a topic attracts as representative of gamergate is rather insincere.

Ignoring the sheer amount of butthurt and outrage in here, of course. But then....

Dismissing anyone who's outraged over Anita Sarkeesian, especially when so many of them are the vocal GG supporters is completely insincere. You have no grounds on which to talk sincerity, friend. I mean, seriously, doesn't it bother you that your model doesn't match up with reality?

Trolls are usually vocal. Doesn't mean that they are representative of anything, and like i said, noone actually caring only about "journalism ethics" is going to touch these threads either way

Then, by your account, Gamergate is predominantly trolls. I'm fine with that. I mean, I think it's disingenuous and likely a "no true Scotsman" fallacy, but I'm fine with that.

Though I would totally agree that Gamergate isn't interested in ethics in journalism, I just don't think that's where you're trying to go with this. Unfortunately, with so many of the Gamergaters being involved in threads like this, it's the actual conclusion.
