Yes, and most of the harrassment is being perpetrated by professional trolls who couldn't care less about gaming.

to listen to the anti-gamergate side, you'd think that 90% of gamers are misogynist rapists. it's fucking ridiculous. we're talking about *millions* of people here.

I'm as bleeding-heart liberal as you can get, and I started out with righteous sympathy for the women being harassed, but it's snowballed so far in the opposite direction that when I hear SJW, now I think "bully." these people are easily as disgusting and hypocritical as anyone on the gamergate side.

like gamers really give a shit if women are making video games. jesus christ.
