I swear, "SJW" is quickly replacing "Cultural Marxist/Marxism" as the new (far) right-wing buzzterm for anything to the left of Adolf Hitler and Patrick Bateman.

One of the reasons I have avoided the use of such acronyms throughout this thread. Anything that dehumanizes any side of this plays into the other's hands and I am determined to stay neutral because both sides are filled to the brim with morons.

It's like our very own Dragon Age 2.

It's like our very own Dragon Age 2. I literally lol'ed there. So which side are the mages and which side are the templars. Also, all importantly does this make us Hawke and co?

I saw that article. their left leaning bent is not suspect. Their owners vox media (owners of polygon whose editor is perhaps the most pro censorship of the bunch) being one of the bigger targets of #gamergate is. That is ignoring the mass of baseless claims and histrionic blather in there. The escapist has 2 pretty good sets of interviews about it. www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/video-games/features/12383-Game-Developer-GamerGate-Interviews-Shed-Light-on-Women-in-Gameswww.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/video-games/features/12306-Female-Game-Developers-Make-Statements-on-GamerGateEven from the female devs there is a a fair bit of support for the movement. On the male devs side, if you read no other interview, read Brad Wardells's. He's not small time and his story is appalling. There needs to be more responsibility and sites like Kotaku are not going to give us that under their current editorial direction. For the most part I think the whole thing is dying down. About the only thing I see from it these days is the odd article from Forbes and stuff like that vox media piece which has more to do with being stung with a bloody node than anything. On teh other side I have seen a couple of hints that they are trying to stay organized but there are not a lot of the die hards left. I actually think it would die down if the very media that was targeted would stop crying about how unfair it was to target them now. Gamers are looking at the Christmas releases right now. 3 months is a long time for them and it's old news.

Three months is a long time for just about ANYONE these days. I swear, Dory from Finding Nemo has a longer attention span than the average person these days.

Assholes.
They can't have it both ways. They can't bitch about censorship then harass people for speaking their minds. I can't help but think that there is a third element out there just doing this shit to both sides and laughing their asses off as they watch them leap at each others throats.
Some people really do want to watch the world burn.

This whole thing in a nutshell:
Nobody is getting laid and it's pissing everyone off.
