    > Define progressive for me here? Is it life long American Democrats like me? Feminists? People of color? LGBTQ? Marxists? Well, I don't know you so I don't know what 'progress' means to you... But to me, it just means a 'more inclusive' society - ie: if you're doing your own thing and...

    > t's not. I'm a true conservative - I'm upset that stuff is changing, period. I think everything will get worse if Gamergate has its way, I think everything will get worse if Tumblr "progressives" get their way. I like my change slow and with as few revolutions as possible. That's totally...

    > What you describe is not a Social Justice Warrior. It is a good person. Point taken, but if you're 'outside' gamergate, all you hear is all this crap about evil/misogynistic/racist SJWs! Gamergate obviously has it's own internal definition of SJW (I've read a few, but they differ every...

    > Leigh's corruption stems from the fact that her article and a bunch more all attacking gamers happened at the same time. ...mainly in response to the Zoe Quinn bullshit, which was toxic. And still, it's all just opinion. I see no corruption. Who bought who? What's the theory here? A bunch...

    > We dislike Leigh's article on Gamasutra because it was rude, insulting, attacked a group of people for no reason, and just plain mean. There is a difference. But does it count as 'corruption in game journalism'? There are bits of the article I don't agree with - the stereotyping of...

    I'm not a subscriber, just visit here occasionally for the zero punctuation reviews (great!), but I've been following the gamergate discussions here. I think it's kind of cool that the escapist has provided this forum, but after todays '(male) game developer speak' piece, kind of disappointed...
