I said in a previous post in this very thread that I believe, actually not only that because I know for sure, that some GG supporters are misogynistic.
Actually you said some of them are " misogynistic" which is different to saying some of them are misogynistic.
I'd advise against using unnecessary punctuation so loosely, it leads to these kind of derails.
But even your assertion that it isn't a misogynistic hate campaign holds no water. The 'scandal' it erupted over was thoroughly debunked and even if it were true would be so minor as to be invisible next to the utterly corrupt relationship between journalists and publishers.
Furthermore, no-one involved in gamergate ever showed some massive industry wide practice of female developers sleeping with journalists for coverage. To my knowledge there was never even a single other example given of such an ethical breach occurring. Not one.
So then it was about feminism being shoved down our throats. But why? How does one situation follow from the other in any logical capacity? It doesn't. The only link between these two topics is literally that if they bothered you enough to send rape and death threats over, then you probably have some issues with women or at least women's rights.
Done. Gamergate is either the smallest scandal in gaming journalism in recent history and vanished two days after it started because there weren't any decent 'shops or it's an ongoing and thoroughly vile targeted campaign of harassment and bullying directed at two or three women who dared not to shut up when they were told to.
