In response to "It was the anti-GG press that wrote that spate of "Gamers are Dead" articles a few months ago." by Dignan

The message of that article was "you don't have to be a certain type of person to consider yourself a Gamer anymore".

Which is so obviously true that it's weird that there's pushback on it. And you're falling victim to exactly the same attitude you're criticizing - ascribing a circlejerk subreddit with a few hundred followers to the whole of the movement. That it's apparently decided it's gone too far and needs reform is proof it's capable of self-reflection - that's a *good* thing.

No, the message was "misogyny killed gaming." - Dignan Mar 17, 21:08 2
- There are no leaders on either side, just louder voices. - Dignan Mar 17, 21:16
- largely because the leaders of GG (such as they are) are part and parcel and complicit in that attitude, from what I see. - Reagen Mar 17, 21:11
