I really would like to know if ANYONE in the mainstream media even gives a shit about #GamerGate anymore. I did a quick search for it in Google News and literally all I get is bullshit articles from SJW rags. I know I'm late on this but damn, John, this is some blue arms tier shit.
It kind of ran its course. It
won already:
Gamergate did what it set out to do. It's enforced public disclosure, gotten the FTC to mandate that Native Advertising
must be disclosed, and pretty much forevermore changed discussion of journalistic ethics online. It inspired movements similar to it to resist the SJW menace as well, leading to one of the most odious groups on the internet in recent memory
finally getting a well-deserved black eye for the bullshit it's brought about. With Gamergate a watchdog now, there's nothing to be gained by dealing with any of the usual suspects, and they've systemically been denied the ability to run on Gamergate as "OMG SUCH HARASSMENT." The SPJ Airplay incident pretty much dragged that particular meme behind the shed and shot it in the head repeatedly.
Polygon's stopped pushing the harassment narrative. The Huffington Post is to hear from neutral and Pro-GG voices after interviewing Wu today. The narrative, officially, is as dead. With that comes the terrifying realization that Brianna Wu can no longer run on the controversy, and the stuff she claimed was
ever so relevant to the public discourse provably
wasn't.
