*clears throat* it's about ethics in games journa-

Actually, no, I'll try to answer your question. The problem is that it's tough because this is a twitter beef and so is completely amorphous and nonsensical. But basically: it's a controversy that began with an allegation that a games designer had slept with journalists for positive reviews (an allegation that appears to have been untrue, as far as it goes). It then morphed into a massive and wide-ranging argument over feminism, video games journalism, social justice, editorial practices, death threats, etc.

As a general rule, anti-gamergate people tend to hold some combination of the following views: Feminism is good. Social justice is important. Bringing games more into alignment with social justice is important. There is not a cabal of gaming journalists trying to force social justice into gaming. The tactics of the pro-gamergate group are unacceptable. The pro-gamergate group is more interested in demeaning women and driving them out of video games than in any kind of constructive point.

As a general rule, pro-gamergate people tend to hold some combination of the following views: Feminism is bad. Social justice is not a problem in video games or does not belong in video games or is bad. Video games do not have any problems with social justice or the treatment of women. People are trying to force social justice into video games. Some combination of women, liberals, hipsters, and journalists is trying to ruin video games or take over video games. Video games journalism is broadly corrupt. Social justice campaigners are broadly corrupt or hypocritical. The accusations regarding the tactics of the pro-gamergate group are untrue, or the anti-gamergate group has done things which are just as bad.
