The impulse to fight strawmen and stuff is valid and necessary but the number of people who'll cry foul because "nobody'd really say that, that's a parody" on stuff that gets posted under real names with photos via the Facebook-based comments system on any small-town newspaper in America...

The two criteria that will massively lower or raise you on this list are 1: Women 2: Gamergate coverage Because The Rationals still refuse to admit that, even if every one of the founding claims of Gamergate is true, it's still one of the most hilariously petty and insignificant controversies in human history. They are just going to keep clinging to this tempest in a teapot because their ingroup is Deeply Committed to it and continues to redouble its efforts when it has forgotten its aims.

Of course you wouldn't think it's important, only true hardcore gamers understand the real value of ethics in games journalism. What good are, say, civil rights if you don't have the civil right to know the truth behind the 9/10 IGN gave to the latest Carl on Duty

Yeah even if you accept the whole 'it's about ethics in video game journalism' thing on its face - why the gently caress would anyone think that's something you should legitimately give a poo poo about? The fact they think that is the reasonable face of their crazy poo poo tells you everything you need to know about what stunted weirdoes they are.

Plus whenever an actual ethics in game journalism issue comes up, they don't give a poo poo because it involves companies withholding review copies from critics who might give bad reviews and not SJW infiltration of box art.

If Zoe Quinn actually had slept with dudes to get a good review for her free game, that's still a controversy that should have lasted as long as maybe a week before everyone moved on to other things, such as whether Han shooting first is canon in the new Star Wars movies. The fact that people don't realize this when they go "well of COURSE I don't support harassment but you know, many feminists are very mean in their assessments of gamergate, and Both Sides..." is crazy to me

Literally the only thing you need to know about gamergate, and the alt-right writ large, was that it was started when someone try to make an internet personal army because he was made into a cuckold. The entire psychology of the movement is based on this single fact.

I remember the first person who tried to sell me on gamergate introduced the topic as "Zoe Quinn slept with her boss at Kotaku ..." which is so far off from reality it's ludicrous.

Also the one bit of good that came out of gamergate was some of my friends at the time who were still lurking on /v/ or other chans and excused all the previous poo poo behavior as normal 4chan nobody-seriously-believes-this just-kiddin-around trollin' were basically reverse-redpilled by the sheer level of hatred gamergate generated and realized that "oh wait no these are actually really bad people and many of them are not actually kidding" and left for good, so that's nice
