This is a normal post has there actually been any part of #gamergate that specifically is about games?
massive sexism, death threats and journalistic integrity are all I've seen, at what point do high scores, special moves and cheat codes get mentioned?

This is a normal post Tom O'Bedlam sent me a link that describes it as a monster that keeps transforming
I think that's quite apt, it's impossible to tackle because no two people think its about the same thing, or at least what the most important bit is.
It's so convoluted you could believe it is about anything now and be sort of right, from the more logical (just angry teens unable to express themselves) to a viral media campaign to raise some profiles gone very wrong and on to the obvious "it's a plan by women to end gaming".

This is a normal post the most apt description of it I've seen is "Clusterfuck"
any chance of anything constructive coming out of it is long gone by now.

This is a normal post Why doesn't she do the talk
but tap in "Up down up down left right left right ABAB start + select" and activate god mode right before starting?

EDIT: Unless god mode is too sexist for her.

This is a normal post Even if the criticism of journalistic integrity had some merit in the first place
it's been drowned out by all the other bullshit by now.

I didn't even know that that many people paid any attention to game journalists these days.
I sure don't.
