Re: Is anyone here willing to admit

ngl, I still don't really understand what it's about. Like, I know that people are getting death threats and that it has something to do with that one woman who...wrote video game reviews? or supposedly slept with someone to get good video game reviews (and that turn out not to be true?. every time I try to read an article about it I just get bored and confused

In the broadest possible sense, it's about the fact that the people who are in the video games press and the people who are video game fans are quite different groups of people. The video game press tends to be urban, cosmopolitan, cultural intellegentsia with progressive - liberal - socialist - feminist views, whereas the video game fans tend to be much more regressive, anti-feminist, anti-social agendas, just a bunch of dudebros. And the tension of the one group trying to deal with the other boiled up and a bunch of the latter group got really fucking angry and started trying to destroy the institutions which represented the first group and the very possibility of anyone daring to side with them.

by video game fans do you mean all people who play video games? aren't like half of video game players or something like that women? do you think that they're also anti-feminist dudebros?

I mean something imprecise, but different from all people who play video games. Something closer to "people who identify as gamers and spend a lot of time dealing with gamer culture from the inside."

And of course, even in that segment, not everyone is anti-feminist dudebros. But I don't think it's wrong as a statistical generalization.

Not quite; a hell of a lot of gamers are just like the folks in the press. They just aren't in gamergate. Gamergate folks? Definitely like that. Even if they don't know it.

Yes, fair enough.
