Why is it so hard for the big game journalism sites to do a story that covers both sides?

"Excuse me sir! Yes, you over there being a dick head on the internet. Can you provide us with your version of events about that time you were a part of a harassment campaign against women?"

Haha, it's kind of like climate change denialists, expecting their "side" to be heard.

Pretty much this. Nobody cares about people who are sensible on the GG side. Even people in this thread seem to think I'm part of a big hate group that wants the world to be darker place, all because I want videogame journalists to be more honest and because I believe game developers shouldn't have to compromise their projects to cater to an audience that won't even play their games in the end or be blacklisted and branded evil.

I get that, but man... The more sensible you are the more you should realize how irredeemably tarnished the GG brand is. If you really want to champion freedom of creative expression there are way better ways then sticking with that name. Not your fault, I know, but it's real nonetheless.

Good point, but it is their fault.

If they're truly sensible, they'd realise how horrible the GG "Brand" is and give it up.

This woman has received almost identical threats for supporting gamergate 3 weeks ago. She's had zero coverage or media support. No one critical of gamergate stepped out to denounce it. She's not the only one.

I'll quote from the email she received

"I think it's time to just shove something metal and sharp in the close up c**t of yours and twist.

Stop posting this gamergate bullshit, end your account, and get therapy or any and all of the listed above is going to happen."

There are sociopaths doing horrendous things on both sides of this.

Hey, guess what: There's only one side. The gamergate side. The other side is EVERYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD.

There's Gamergate people. Then there's everyone else. Think about it.

You are so wrong it hurts. Do you really think the majority of people are for or against gamergate? I see the validity and the extremism in both sides of the discussion, and so does most everyone else.

Validity of the extremism? There is only one side.

I said validity AND extremism. As in, both sides raise good points, and both sides have been doxxing and sending death threats.

What good points does gamergate bring up? "Social justice is bad!" "Feminism is eeeevil!" "Only women who agree with us are welcome!" "Special snowflake genders, go back to tumblr!"


Those types of points?

Show me the websites organising the anti-gg movement, much like the numerous pro-gg ones.

There isn't any.

To the people who say they want a "Positive change in the industry": What positive change?

Removing social issues from gaming websites? That's not a positive change, that's a negative one.

I don't completely agree with you. I do think it's correct to report on some issues, but when you have the fifth article about AC: Unity on the same web site bring up non-playable female characters in multiplayer when the article has nothing to do with that, then it's not a positive change. When you have a writer call a developer sexist because they didn't include a playable female character in the main game, then double-down when it's pointed out that the main character isn't even customizable, then it's not positive change. When you have another writer call a publisher homophobic, and anyone criticizing her sexist or transphobic, then it's not a positive change.

There are valid issues to bring up, no doubt. However, at some point it ceases to be "progressive" as some like to claim. Those instances of social issues should be removed from gaming websites.

Except,

Less than 1% of articles are about these things. You're just perceiving there's a lot of it.

As are the gamergate babies.

@impartialgecko: Each side has their evil fringe groups. All I can do is condemn their actions, and continue supporting something I believe in.

It's amusing that you're "Supporting something you believe in" yet you're giving money to giantbomb, a website that openly hangs out and are BFFs with people in the industry. Which there is nothing wrong with, but is what the movement pretends it is about. Look at yourself, please
