This whole gamergate stuff, I'm just like "WTF IS GOING ON?!?!?!?!?!!?!!!"

Yea what the -blam!- is it? I've heard about it but have no idea what it's about.

From what I've gleaned, and I'm already in deep s**t for even saying the word, some woman named Zoey Quinn slept with a writer from Kotaku so he'd give her indie game a high rating, and some woman named Anita sarkeeshoweverthehellyouspellit was mad and started saying that gamers are all misogynist, and that we harass women, and we have built in patriarchal privileges. My main question is, what does any of this have to do with video games? And why the hell is Anita having such a hissy fit about this? She needs to stay out of business that doesn't even involve her. I'm sure you'll get a better description, albeit a bit biased. But this is about as unbiased as I can make it.

The deal was that gamers (male and female) were demanding ethical journalism. It was simply straw manned into a sexist debate by Anita (a feminist). In reality it had nothing to do with gender initially but both sides eventually made it that way and to be completely objective both sides have acted in completely deplorable ways.
