It's definitely a sketchy issue to piece together. On the subject of neutrality and keeping from picking a side, there ARE a few who take no side and pick through everything that's happened for a long-but-raw description of events (mostly to let the events speak for themselves). If you have the time, take a looksee-- might not be worth changing an opinion over, but certainly an interesting read.
This one scorns everyone involved (regardless of side) and focuses exclusively on the mechanics behind some of the arguments. A bit long, and prone to self-referencing related articles, but nice in its own way: http://mitrailleuse.net/2014/09/19/intellectual-bullying/
This one's a bit shorter, and ends a bit biased, but has some good points regarding how the issue can relate to politics (it makes sense in the context the article uses for the word) and political bias: http://techcrunch.com/2014/09/25/gamergate-an-issue-with-2-sides/
