Jonesy89: Why would they care, though? I thought it was about ethics in games journalism?
Totenglocke: After the SJWs defended the unethical behavior, they retaliated by intentionally trying to ruin games by forcing as much out of placed forced "diversity" as possible, so Gamergate also became about preventing the games industry (and media in general) from being ruined by extremist political views. If you ever went to a Gamergate forum like /v/KotakuInAction, you'd see that they support SJWs actually making their own games if they want those issues to be involved in a game. They only take issue with when either SJWs harass a company into censoring a game (like Blizzard this past week) or they get hired into a company (like the writer for Dragonspear in the linked article) who then use their position to add irrelevant and immersion breaking politics into a game that has nothing to do with their agenda.
Absolutely right. Gamergate is all about a bulwark against SJW political correctness. You saw the massive backlash against Anita Sarkesian's feminist crusade against gaming.
My gosh, is there no place left that hasn't been ruined by this crap? When I play or watch fantasy I want to escape from politics, that's the definition of it, an escape. They got star trek and now star wars. But, I thought, well at least they haven't got to D&D yet. Nope, they've got that too.
Thanks beamdog, for shatting all over yet another of my childhood pasttimes.
