So, I have been hearing all about this lately. Still currently trying to figure out what exactly all this is about, but I recently came across this documentary... what are your thoughts?

    GamerGate IIRC was something about the portrayal of women in gaming and in gaming culture. 
     
    Some feminist got mad about something or other and it turned into a thing.

    I am starting to get sick of hearing about "Gate". It's starting to become a joke. This is GateGate. How can anyone take themselves seriously when choosing the name anythingGate?

    I listened to the first...40 seconds of it and the voiceover was terrible. The video didnt seem like it would be a fair representation of the issue. So I stopped watching it.

    Gamersgate is the Millennial generation's answer to political radicalism. Run away screaming like your hair is on fire while you still can.

    A guy on YouTube named ADoseOfBuckley who is as cynical as I did a video on this BS... Can't post it because well, because it's profane in nature... It's not about gamersgate in particular its about the "gate" adage.... Also, Gamersgate is is just a feminazi movement...
