For further context, I'm not saying there aren't a disproportionate number of misogynist assholes in GG, but plenty of people who have used the GG tag / affiliated with it had far different agendas. For example, a frequent target is ill-advised Polygon / Kotaku clickbait thinkpieces - you don't have to be an alt-right neo-Nazi to find something objectionable about those.
- bitwize 10y agoSure, but GamerGate really isn't about those. If you look into how the movement came about in the first place, you will see that its origins lie in Eron Gjoni using the internet as his personal army to punish Zoë Quinn by tarnishing her reputation with misogynistic lies. "Journalistic integrity" is just a figleaf to mask the true aims of the movement.
