I need to open a discussion on the concept of neutrality in gamer gate.
Originally, I was going to make this topic unrelated, but for the sake of being specific, I decided on being clearer.
Why are people so obsessed with people taking sides?
Why do people openly criticize those on both sides of this argument when they decide to take a nuetral stance.
In my own experiences, this is what I realized. The way the majority of the gaming press has handled gamer gate is appalling for me. There's this strong inability to give anyone the benefit of the doubt.
All I see is overgeneralization of groups and lumping pretty much anyone they find so much as says the words I disagree right into the crowd.
When someone tries to say they are nuetral to the subject, they are immediately thrown to the Gamergate side and viciously attacked and criticizing for having the audacity to not be in your side.
Now, Gamergate. Never had I witnessed so a inept attitude towards how they treat people who disagree with them. They demand freedom of speech but without the consequences. They tell you to grow a thicker skin because they don't know how human beings work.
And yes, this comes directly from some videos I've watched for Gamer Gate. It's great you're fighting for journalism, but you're also quite a great deal assholes. How the hell can anyone possibly listen to you when you speak to them in such a condescending manner.
No wonder neither side listens to each other, because no one speaks rationally. They speak in a patronizing manner with there heads so far up the rear they're kissing intestines.
The thing about intelligence or the illusion of intelligence is that people have this habit of looking down on anyone with even a base lack of knowledge on a particular subject.
If schools taught children that way, no one would learn.

The problem with me being nuetral and seeing these points is the idea that because I say I'm nuetral, I'm against someone. I never fumed so much when Jim Sterling was attacked for his last two videos by pro gamergate people because, as they say, he's dodging the questions or some bullshit.
I never understood that mass assumption. He chose to not pick a side and you gave him one anyways. Total Biscuit makes a wordy response trying to be nuetral and is attacked for it. He said misogynistic things.
You can't win in nuetrality. You can't be rational. Maybe we can have a middle ground. Some of us don't want to be associated with a movement that is full of stigma. Locked in by where it started, incapable of leaving that shadow.
I don't hang with smelly decomposing corpses, I stay far away from them so I don't get the smell.
