I’m a gamer and a writer, who since August has been trying to ignore the hashtag movement known as GamerGate to no avail. I have viewed it at best as a distraction from real gaming discussion and at worst aggressively divisive and downright harmful. However, as the movement escalates it seems as though discussion here is unavoidable. The problem I find is that all sides occupy a mind-boggling range of stances about what they and their opponents want and stand for. Since I believe that Dorkadia readers are intelligent and sensible people, I think we can discuss this openly, without malice toward either side of this complex issue. Let’s just leave the extremists out of the loop, okay? I really don’t need an inbox flooded with death threats.
