Alright guys, so this is gonna be a sensitive topic, but I have to beg the question, "When and where did all this gamergate fuss start and what is it about?" Because a lot of people and their mothers are reporting that they are getting emailed death threats and threats to the people who surround them or give them their livelihood.



http://deadspin.com/the-future-of-the-culture-wars-is-here-and-its-gamerga-1646145844

After reading the deadspin article, I think to myself, "This is disgusting." Because my attitude towards women in gaming has been somewhat passive. I always wanted to win. Regardless of whether my teammates or opponents were female. I always wanted to win. On this side of the planet there are many many many showgirls used to help advertise tournaments for Starcraft II, and, for crying out loud, Kim Phan is in Charge of Blizzard eSports, and if I'm not mistaken , the top-dog at Blizzard Entertainment here in Taiwan is also female.

So, what is this, where did it originate, and why is it happening?

BTW, sorry if someone already posted this here somewhere but I searched "gamergate" on teamliquid and it turned up nothing.

There was already a thread about Zoe Quinn but TL mods closed it. Long story short, video game 'journalism' is the lowest of the low.

99 percent of discussions about gamer gate turns into a poisonous plague that needs to be contained. This shit originated from an angry ex-boyfriend, what do you expect to happen?

I love how that deadspin piece just says "This clearly isn't true" re gamergate claims and then changes the subject, great journalism, much convincing.

Indeed. Beyond the sensationalist title of this thread, I don't expect much good to come from discussing a controversy that originally came about due to an angry boyfriend.
