That's pretty pathetic and sad coming from a news network, they should be ashamed of themselves. Sounds like someone called in the favors and it's not going to last. It's sensationalist media and there's always a point where they push too far before it swings back and things go wrong for them.

Guys, you've made the front page of the New York Times. If there was ever a time to distance yourself from that damned hashtag, this is it. It really doesn't help that there are apparently people claiming affiliation with you that are claiming your movement is not only concerned with journalistic ethics, but with removing feminist critique from game reviews. You want to go Upton Sinclair on gaming journalism, I can dig that, but the house of shit that you've let yourselves get walled in isn't doing you any favors when it comes to doing that.

Has anyone else seen the CNN infographic on GamerGate?

It's ok, imo. I don't like how there's a "Traditional Gamers" section and a "Female Gamers" section, though.

Ehh... it's ok, I suppose, but yeah... bringing gender into it is kind of stupid, IMO.

Yeah, I mean, aren't there women in traditional games? Seems to be an unnecessary division.

Illogical, incomplete... not to mention slightly condescending. This is what happens when rich people in suits decide that the rest of humanity have become simple statistics on a flowchart. Anyone on any side of the GG issue should look at these graphs and flowcharts with apprehension and disgust. The bloated mainstream media sticking its head into an issue that it clearly has no understanding of should be one of the few things we can all agree to stand against.

Well, at least it separates gamers from trolls. That's a start.

It's a step in the right direction, at least.

No it doesn't. It's a circle with an arrow pointing to a bunch of other circles. Jesus Christ, have you all become nothing more than geometry? Dammit, give 'em a fractal. Give 'em an acute right angle once in a while. When people talk about being put in boxes, we don't have to let the term be taken so literally.

Think outside the colored circle.

Here's Gamergate's version:

I am a robot. I can only think in geometry and algorithms.

Bleep bloop.

:P

Good. Here's mine.

That's what happens when you let decisions get made by a room full of bureaucratic file clerks.
