Gamergate has become two different teams playing two completely seperate sports, and essentially shouting past each other the entire time. The entire thing, be it anti-, pro- or in-between is dead, and we should just put it to bed.

It's not dead until gaming "journalism" stops being a crapshoot.

The problem with the "separate sports" analogy is that it's not. It's one team trying to play the game and the other trying to smother it because they don't think they should have to play by the rules.

A gamergate thread? here? Ugh...

Honestly, though, Wheaton's thrown producers of Tabletop under the bus more recently in an extremely unprofessional manner, which is why a lot of people are currently a little furious at him.

The one where he was going to appologize for a big rules error and then the post turned into "my rules guy ****** up"?

That one was revolting

Oh man, you're really gonna be mad when you find out what "real" journalists are up to. Gaming journalists aren't even a blip on the radar.

That's been known since forever ago. Small steps.

No it really is. Stop the Harassment vs Clean up Journalistic Ethics is two separate arguments on two separate fields.

Yeah, that one. It was pathetic. But then I have a very old fashioned "You put your name on it, you take responsibility for it" moral.

The "Stop the Harassment" side is actually the "harassment side", you just don't see that covered by the media because guess bloody what...
