OK. This is completely ridicules. What are you talking about? Radical feminist movement? Honest video game news? These are preposterous statements. Why is anyone worried about what ‘Zoe’ did or did not do, regardless of the reasons she did them?
Are there more women writers and bloggers talking about video games? Sure! Do they have an opinion that might differ from that of a 16 year old boy? Sure! By expressing that opinion are they a part of a vast feminazi conspiracy to ruin gaming forever? No! Kids need to deal with the fact that other people enjoy different aspects of games, and that not everyone agrees about what makes a game enjoyable.
Given that whether or not someone enjoys a game or not is a purely subjective issue, what do you mean with the phrase, “ … gamers just want honest news about video games”? What news do you think you are getting? Is it that a game you enjoy playing is getting bad reviews and you don’t agree with it? Would that then be dishonest news? Unfair? What does ‘honest news’ even mean in this context? There are no absolutes in ‘fun’. Everyone enjoys things differently and for different reasons. This whole thing reeks of a childish tantrum because not everyone enjoys playing games the same way as you.
The Gamersgate movement has at the very least been hijacked by a very angry, very vocally violent group. It does not have any viable moral standing. It is nothing but a mouthpiece for angry women hating gamer nerds. There is no way to defend it, it has no legitimate value in any discussion involving ethics.
