Gamergate perspectives
intro: grassroots activism, not harassment.


 * 1) ethics in gaming industry & journalism, collusion/corruption
 * 2) influence of SJW progressive politics on gaming

History according to Gamergate:

sex scandal

massive censorship on social media, reddit, 4chan

'gamers are dead' articles (wailing hyperconsumers quote from Leigh, Gamasutra). this greatly escalated the conflict, and brought in many more people previously unaware of the scandal. aside from the provocative, offensive nature, these opinion piece attacks were all published around the same time, revealing coordination and collusion among the gaming press.
