Many of them are social outcasts, naturally they're sensitive. Then someone's attacking them in the one place they find comfort, simply because they aren't popular. For not fitting in and not knowing "the right way to dress or act", as if such a thing existed.
Of course they were angry.
It was high school all over again. The popular kids attacking the outcasts. Only this time the outcasts fought back and for the first time the popular kids got a taste of bullying.
I'm not saying it's right. Bullying is never good. But GamerGate is a drop in the ocean of bullying. Why does it get so much attention? Could it be because it's a rare case of the outcasts fighting back? Or because it's a rare case of the media being bullied?
