This is the problem I have with the media on gamergate. The media consistently portrays this being about an angry ex boyfriend – which it isn’t any more really. Yes it started there, but it’s about much more now – kind of like how WWI was about much more than the assassination of Franz Ferdinand. The media is using excuses to avoid serious discussion on the topic.
I feel that making this about the trollies/doxxers/4chans is a huge cop out and underscores the nature of problems raised by the gamergate supporters. There are over a million tweets in #gamergate – this is no fringe issue we are talking about here.
