GamerGate is when a bunch of people began harrassing female gaming journalists.

GamerGate is when a bunch of people began harrassing female gaming journalists. You're actually dead wrong on the whole "harassing female gaming journalists." It's basically just a group of people getting tired of corrupt journalism sites like (Kotaku and Gawker's affiliates) and just basically calling them out on being biased and pushing agendas. Which as a journalist, is rule #1 in the "Don't do this handbook."
Also I got an email back saying that my "neutrality on GamerGate would not be tolerated as I would not stand up to men harassing women." When really the side opposing GamerGate has driven out more people than GamerGate even has.
The more you learn by just looking beyond the shit that is fed to you.

This is probably the wrong place to talk about this. I recommend moving this over to the Political thread

This is a discussion that should not be in this thread.

This is a discussion that should not be in this thread. I know. Just making a counter argument, wasn't going to further it anymore.

fluttersky here, same name as on AH.com. Don't like the moderation over there, thought I'd try out this new site.
I came here from Krall's comment in the MotF thread. Would someone mind giving a brief history of why this site was created? It's surprisingly active.

Would someone mind giving a brief history of why this site was created? It's surprisingly active. Well, initially there was a site created by Japhy which sought to be a place to get away from Ian, but he didn't like the people who joined so he took the site down after one day. However, people like me and Krall didn't like Ian's moderation of AH.com and wanted an alternative, so Krall set this place up. It's nice to see it bustling with activity and hopefully it will hold. Welcome!

Welcome! Ouch. That's rather absurd, to create a website only to immediately take it down because you don't like the members. Agreed, Ian's moderation is not great; he bans way too many people. I don't like many of the ideologies some members have - completely disagree with these "gamergaters" for example - but that's no reason to ban them.

As long as we try and stay civil (or rather, stay civil almost all the time), and don't do illegal or nasty things (or spam), things should go fine.
