GamerGate Just Sad

The short version of what is the GamerGate controversy started August 2014 when it was reported Gamer Ms. Zoe Quinn was sleeping with a Gamer Journalist to get good reviews for her game. Two sides quickly emerged: The GamerGate side calling for gamer journalistic integrity, while Ms. Zoe Quinn and her supporters including gamer journalists and pro-women gamer groups claim that the GamerGate side is sexist because many who have used the #GamerGate hashtag have threatened her and her supporters. The GamerGate framed themselves as just wanting Journalistic integrity while the Ms. Quinn supporters want to get rid of what they deem as sexist and racist aspects of video games. The dispute is still going on because the GamerGate community claim that big gamer journalists have not accepted blame or put in new standards while the Pro-Quinn side believes the GamerGate side is sexist and racist and is working towards making games that are not sexist and racist. It has been difficult to have dispute resolution when both sides do not have clear leadership who can be spoken to and negotiated with, and both sides include numbers of people via internet.
