I’ll never understand the ridiculous amount of hate Anita Sarkeesian got. She literally said “it’s ok to like something and still be critical about certain aspects of it.” Like, what’s the issue with that?

Don't forget Steve Bannon testing his online Nazi recruitment technologies in gamer gate, too.

why does every discussion of Anita Sarkezian describe her work as mediocre. her videos were well researched and well produced, and there was very little content like it at the time.

Why does every controversy get „gate“ added to the end? Ei pizza gate, gamer gate; I get watergate because that being the name of the hotel and oceangate being the company name but why the others?

I'm starting to think it wasn't about ethics in games journalism after all.

Slightly off topic hot take but somewhat related - People don't actually hate Stellarblade, they just hate the people who play it because they seem to be the only people yelling about how much people hate Stellarblade. Yet when I ask anyone else, they say that they don't really have a problem with the game at all.

The ironic thing is that the access journalism issue with games is directly linked to the audience demanding reviews in such a short period of time because of the 24 hour news cycle. Also add in people carrying water for corporations instead of people and specifically journalists and you realize the people complaining are one of the main causes of the problem. Like you said though it was never about ethics in journalism.

What was the reference to it in the Files aside from the section with ’Moot’? (Not saying that’s nothing, just wondering what sections I’ve likely missed..)

I only played Depression Quest because of the bs. and, as a mental health professional for 30 yrs who also takes meds and is in therapy, that game was good. It was a text game. it wasn't Mass Effect. the game mechanic of not being able to choose some options but still see them as options was great.
