How the fuck is this absolute nonsense still showing up in my newsfeed? They actually link to a Gawker article explaining what GamerGate is.
"Although women now make up almost half of all video game players, the gaming community remains, in some ways, hostile toward women.
For example, the GamerGate controversy, which began in 2014 and involved a harassment campaign against prominent female gamers, journalists and designers, reflected a longstanding undercurrent of misogyny and sexism in the community. In some cases, those who challenged the sexism found themselves threatened with rape or death."

I guess I've seen it discussed so much in other places I forgot to link it here.
This article has been utterly eviscerated by the shitty research done on two shit games, and trying to equate faked profile info to real world identities. Also, nobody considers levelling in an MMO a proof of skill. It's really embarrassing for them.
