Apologies if it actually is about ethics. I assumed that was a red herring

Kind of like complaining that the Grammys/Oscars don't usually reward the "best" artists. Why would we continue the fiction that they were ever anything serious and merit based?

I wouldn't try to find much sanity in the GG discussion, as most of it seems to be "don't be misogynist" vs "we're not, it's just that women suck" - Max Mar 17, 21:59 5
- I actually agree with much of this - Reagen Mar 17, 22:07 3
  - pay for play, plagiarism, and lack of sourcing. My concern is after we defeat the a-holes in GG, everyone cries 'Victory! We can all go home now.' - Max Mar 17, 22:12 [youtube] 1
    - I think a more inclusive gaming community will help rectify some of those issues. Be a bit less hand-in-glove in nature - TWuG Mar 17, 22:21
  - If think you are probably right. -- nm - tobor.2 Mar 17, 22:11
- It's not a petty issue, but they seem to beusing it as a weapon against women in gaming. - tobor.2 Mar 17, 22:05
It mostly is a red herring. The relevant issue of "ethics" is discussed in the second paragraph under "History" at the link -- (link) - TWuG Mar 17, 21:53 1
- Got Depression Quest right, forgot it was Quinn's disgruntled ex that started the "ethics" part of it. - tobor.2 Mar 17, 22:00
I would say that gaming journalism/reviews is garbage, but not for the reasons that GG supposes. - Reagen Mar 17, 21:52
GG is an onion. At its core is a bunch of crybabies who exploit people's legitimate concerns in order to further their own hateful screed. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 17, 21:51
