From their Shreddit sub:
*
KotakuInAction is the main hub for GamerGate on Reddit and welcomes discussion of community, industry, and media issues in gaming and broader nerd culture, including sci-fi/fantasy, comics, and animation.*
That's kinda how it started, and under 'normal' circumstances it would've faded into obscurity, except then there was this full-court press of "anti-Gamer" articles, from supposedly-competing games journalism outlets, all saying roughly the same thing, all in the space of a few hours. Come to find out there's a "GameJournoPros" mailing list where this sort of thing gets coordinated. Then the Grifters (Anita, etc.) rolled up looking for dem VictimBux, and the Degenerates started whining cuz they weren't getting their VictimBux, and shit went pear-shaped from there.
Damnit, all we wanted was some disclosure (These links are Affiliate, and we get paid, the reviewer of this game was the Dev's roommate in college/ex-BF/.GF/co-worker, etc.) and to play some vidya without someone coming along and screeching that some collection of pixels was 'dressed inappropriately'.
We're GamerGate. Hello. Also ewwwww.
Plot twist: You just insulted OP's look

What's gamergate really--every time I've tried to research it the answer is very confused and probably distored?
Genesis of GamerGate
okay I scrolled down, I don't know how far, and it looks like a bunch of butt-hurt and drama about game reviews and sluttery.
