One of my main problems is that it took horrible internet trolls issuing death threats in order to get people talking about this. People tried to talk over a month ago and they were met with bans/deletion of comments and an unbelievable amount of snark across every major site. GamerGate started because fans were ignored, laughed at, and declared dead. Trust is gone, and emotions are high. I will continue to condemn threats and harassment, but the legitimate questions about ethics have to be addressed before I drop support for GamerGate.
As of now, Giant Bomb & The Escapist are the last video game sites I will visit because they have shown, now and in the past, that I'm not just another "click."
