Am I wrong, or did this puff-piece completely miss the core of GamerGate.
On a Chan, during real Gamer Hours, ask around, and find about Darpa-sponsored Stanford-requisitioned grad student projects... researching how to identify people from their choices in Massive Online Games, and how to predict, and possibly predictely-program people, outcomes, events.
Hear the tales of propaganda, and social engineering, reframed as 'journalism'.
Nay, this wasn't sexism; this was yet another time that we dug too deep, hit the hard-edges of one of the manipulation engines of the 'deep state' (for lack of a better term).
You guys know what really happened there. We just wanted our vidya, and they couldn't leave us alone.... we weren't hurting nobody....
