Gamergate jumped the shark when it first became a thing, it didn't need any Wikipedia-related drama to do it. :)

  Disclaimer: I am affiliated with Curse, a popular games media network which has taken no part in the controversy. I've remained neutral to Gamergate as much as possible, but kept myself informed. One of its core problems is that it kept the name "gamergate" for a lot of similar-but-unrelated issues which makes it encompass a lot more than is humanly digestable by anyone looking it up for the first time. People get kind of crazy when they hear that "women are being attacked", and never really want to hear the full story. The following blog post is one of the most descriptive of the actual issues and comes from someone who was on the side "against" gamergate. I recommend it: http://geekswithwives.com/experiencing-gamergate-from-all-sides/ http://geekswithwives.com/experiencing-gamergate-from-all-si... Edit: As an aside... while I'm neutral, as a gamer and someone who has worked on the sides of the games industry for the past decade, I can't help but feel targeted whenever someone blames "gamergate, and by definition gamers" for whatever B.S. they endured from some random twitter troll under a hashtag anyone can use at any time they feel like.
