Want to know what #gamergate is really all about?

6. Bullshit.

This video is nothing but some dumb shit with preconceived notions about what gamergate is doing mental gymnastics to confirm his preconceived notions.

If you want to find out what the goals of an organization are, probably a good place to start is by asking members of the group. if you ask almost anyone involved in the gamergate what their goals are they will say "To end cronyism and corruption in the gaming and game journalism industry." They won't say anything about keeping women or minorities out of gaming. In fact if that was a goal, they wouldn't be paired up with #notyourshield (a collection of women and minorities that support gamergate). You don't usually hear about that though because it doesn't fit the biased narrative of corrupt journalists trying to protect their own racket.

If you look at the actual complaints of GGers, they almost mirror the complaints that Democrats have had about the MSM for years. They believe that journalists are too cozy with their subjects. They believe that nepotism and cronyism are a detriment to the industry. They believe that agenda driven journalists and articles are ethically damaging. They believe that advertisers shouldn't have any sway over objective reporting. It is all the same basic complaints you see on DU everyday, but because a PR campaign has labeled it misogynist, 90% of DU won't even bother to look into it objectively.
