I don't really get how people's reading comprehension can be so poor. Just look at the comments. There are tons of comments opposing him, countering his argument, or even just calling him a moron. Do you know what kind of post there are not? Ones saying: "but some people in GamerGate really do care about corruption!" Those are the *only* kinds of posts being censored, because he already acknowledged in his initial post that while that was most likely true, the people who created the movement and are trying to control and direct it don't actually give a shit about that, and are just using everyone else as patsies in order to enact their agenda of destroying the social capital and careers of prominent women and feminists in the games industry.
The well has been poisoned. Find a new hashtag to rally behind and actually go after the corruption of big publishers and big gaming magazines and news sites instead of just harping on a few women and feminists who basically have zero social capital or control in the games industry to begin with who just wanted to point out that maybe some games weren't as inclusive as they could be.
The worst part about this whole thing is that Gamasutra, of all sites, is one that a lot of devs in the game industry legitimately use to share knowledge and discuss topics and find jobs. By hurting Gamasutra you are literally making *all* game devs jobs more difficult and worsening their professional discourse for no reason other than that you disagreed with *one* person who regularly posts to the site. This is literally a case of cutting off your nose to spite your face.
