Yet you care enough to start this thread?
You don't care about corruption in the media (Hint: Blatantly lying is a sign of corruption. Blatantly lying in an attempt to smear a group, moreso). That's fine. But you know, you don't have to care about whether other people care.
"Gamergate is a hate movement"
"Gamergate is a bunch of men angry at women"
"Gamergate is a movement to harass people"
And yet the media labels the entirety of GamerGate as misogynists due to the actions of only a few. Sometimes due to the actions of people who aren't even affiliated with...
I'm pretty sure I was talking about the part where journalists collude together to make society hate a specific group of people but go ahead and keep putting words into my mouth if you think that's going to help.
Ok then. I was talking about ethics. You asked me a question unrelated to ethics. I believed you were implying something with the question that was related to ethics but apparently I was wrong. So basically you just asked me a question unrelated to ethics and then when I answered, you...

Please quit asking "Have you stopped beating your wife" type questions.
We're shutting down people in positions of power who abuse it by spreading lies. Lies that actually hurt people.
You mean you forgot about all of these journalists blatantly lying repeatedly? That was my first clue that "hey maybe Gamergate actually has a point".
Problem is, if you wait too long to stop it, it becomes harder to stop.
Normally, I would ignore them, except they have power in the industry, they're abusing that power to spread their political ideology. And now they're spreading lies, which really does hurt society, so now we have to shut them down.
