I liked that the article isn't so much about #GamerGate as the nature of online arguments. I'm only vaguely aware of the issues of #GamerGate but I can completely understand the following from the article: "People are going to say things about your favorite parts of the culture. Some of these things will be stupid or wrong. It is swell to use more speech to disagree with, criticize, or ridicule the criticism. But when you become completely and tragicomically unbalanced by the existence of cultural criticism, or let it send you into a buffoonish spiral of resentful defensiveness, people may not take you seriously."
