@danlyke Don't get me wrong - I was being facetious. #gamergate is a regressive, conservative, anti-change movement.
Every so often something about #gamergate still bubbles up in my feed. Still think "ethics" is code for "conservative values" there.
Every so often #gamergate bubbles up in my feed and it makes me sad. A movement all about not letting cultural values evolve and progress.
Based on the responses to my last few posts, my suspicion that #gamergate is a libertarian movement is tentatively confirmed. Thanks, all.
The movement #gamergate reminds me most of is Randian objectivism - one whose ideas can be easily logically debunked.
Social justice is about people having equal opportunities in society. That's something everyone should be fighting for. #gamergate
The #gamergate community has made it obvious that it isn't interested in ethics by denouncing social justice as some kind of terrible thing.
There's lots to be disappointed about in #gamergate, but for me it's the blind adherence to conservative, retrograde values.
Feminism has been one of the most positive social movements of the last hundred years. It promotes equality for everyone. #gamergate
The most entertaining / cathartic piece on #gamergate you'll read. Warning: creative language. https://medium.com/the-cauldron/why-gamergaters-piss-me-the-f-off-a7e4c7f6d8a6
I find #gamergate morbidly fascinating. Its claims have been solidly debunked. What's left is a very conservative reaction to equality.
@audiocalendar To the untrained eye, the #gamergate community seems to like, eg, using SJW as a derogatory term. Anti-feminist at best.
I fully don't understand #gamergate. You will fight to the death to preserve sexism in video games because ..? http://www.standard.net/Police/2014/10/14/Utah-State-University-student-threatens-act-of-terror-if-f...
