GamerGate

I've been following this.

And honestly, I don't get it.

To get caught up, go here.

I don't want to get into bias and corruption in gaming journalism.  Because this is SO much bigger than that.

How this started is so incredibly not important compared to the escalation that has happened.

Seriously, if the only way to win your argument is to issues rape threats and death threats and then publish the personal information of your female targets so the threats can be carried out....

It doesn't matter what your position is.  You've already lost.
Why?

because whatever point that you made is lost in the ugliness of the threats.  I don't even care about the original opinion.  I don't care what started it.  It's gone WAY beyond that.

I'll never understand why these men are SO threatened that they have to resort to this.  Why ANY man is to threatened that they have to resort to this.
