Gamegate has been a bit of an eye-opener for me... [View all]

I realize this is a tempest in a teapot compared to significantly larger issues facing the world, but the recent "gamergate" fiasco has really opened my eyes in a way that few things have.

The below appearance of writer and activist Suey Park on HuffPo Live with Josh Zepps is astounding! Even though it starts off as a discussion about racism used in satirical context, it quickly changes tone in a way that is surprising and left me shaking my head... I realize it's an older clip (March 2014), but dang!
