Does anyone know about #GamersGate?

Posted by Roo (aka Roocrow) Sep 23 '14, 12:33

I've been doing some research on it because it looks like someone I should be conscious of but many of the explanations are a little shakey.

Should I be for GamersGate or against if I'm not a social justice warrior?

I've brushed up against it a couple times and each time I've come away thinking it's people looking for a reason to get offended. - Ender Sep 23, 12:37

        It's used mockingly, along the same lines as "white knighting" -- nm - Tim Sep 23, 13:27 1
        
        Not even mockingly. It's used accusingly. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 23, 13:31
