#Gamergate

For the most part it's why I've stopped really talking about it... At this point it's just both sides endlessly yelling at each other and soaking in the drama. I have seen no progress from either side... and by PROGRESS I mean an understanding and willingness to compromise, not progress as in "one less company giving x website ad support", or "haha we made this person lose their job because of their views that we don't agree with". It's just dragging on at this point. Inb4 poms left and right.

Let's see...

1) Pro-Gamergate cheers on sites like The Escapist that allow both sides of the discussion since they've adopted an ethics code.
2) Anti-Gamergate has made a list of the worst harassers that includes pineappling KFC and the chairman of IGDA Puerto Rico. On top of that, you'll see based on the appeal process that it's a kangaroo court; so long as you support Gamergate, you're considered guilty.

To be perfectly honest, you're possibly a little loco if you think that the side automatically labeling 0 tweet accounts and a fast food chain as harassers somehow has a point.

Also [MENTION=69]Lozmaster[/MENTION]; please tell me how the side that somehow thinks that using a blocklist based on the so-called 'worst harassers' which includes a neutral journalist and a prominent member of the Gamergate harassment patrol to label their followers as harassers is reasonable. You should see the hilarity that's come from neutrals finding out they were on a block list for whatever reason and shaking their heads at the opposition because they're just that insane.

And yes, if you don't think falsely being labeled as bulliers/harassers/terrorists et al. can cause damage to one's mental health particularly when a number of Gamergate supporters have endured bullying or have survived abuse, I don't think your opinion is valid.
