I'm really struggeling with the idea that you can be a bullshitter without being a liar.

Most people caught up in pyramid schemes like Amway honestly believe in what they're selling. The problem is that what they're selling isn't all that honest. Or take for example, climate change denial or a great deal of tumblr.

To explain my bias, I work with people who came out of the games industry: AAA, indie, and mobile. The articles you consider "attacks" were not published in response to GamerGate. They were published because people inside the industry are having hard conversations about how to diversify their market beyond the "gamer" demographic of white guys 18-35 with disposable income.

All of which was explicitly said in the articles in question. And all of which is something that most gamers who were not trying to pick a fight understood.
