Special:Badtitle/NS90:Talk:Gamergate/Gotta love neutrality

I have to say that I quite like how this is probably THE only completely neutrally-written article I've ever seen about Gamergate. I'll preface this by saying that I have little to no patience for Anita Sarkeesian, Zoe Quinn, or anyone of their ilk and have the firm belief that people need to keep political narratives OUT of video games and make them more about having fun rather than getting preachy on you. The amount of bullying, doxxing, and death threats (One particularly fucked up one came towards Youtuber AlphaOmegaSin who had someone who (I think) was anti-Gamergate threatening to SLIT HIS SON'S THROAT IN FRONT OF HIM) from that side only further increases my hatred for them.

However, I can't support Gamergate either because quite frankly, I'm tired of them acting like their shit doesn't stink either. I mean, look what happened to Felicia Day for Christ's sake! It just annoys me that anytime someone supporting Gamergate sends death/rape threats to people, you always hear "It's just a troll/false flag, or someone who isn't a TRUE Gamergate supporter!" and there's the fact that you are called out as a shill if you try to discuss things like that.

I can't remember who said this, but I think they're 100% correct when they stated that (paraphrased) "Gamergate was never about ethics in journalism. It's a culture war between hipsters and nerds". Probably the best quote I've heard thus far regarding the situation.

I guess what I really want to say is that I'm sick of the bullshit, the mud-flinging, and the undying hatred I've seen on both sides. I just want to play video games and have a hell of a good time playing them.
