This is how it looks from the outer:

Person A: I'm a tiny bit concerned about the cosy relationship between game developers and game journalists.

Person B: I am also concerned! This is clearly evidence of the feminist mafia at work!

Person A: Hang on, what?

Person C: I am a tiny bit concerned that women in gaming are being unduly harassed all the time.

Person D: Yes! Everyone must sign my internet petition against this sort of thing right now or they're a misogynist!

Person C: I'm not sure that's how it works-

Person B: Look at that! This proves the feminist illuminati is attempting to bully all non-believers into submission! #gamergate

Person A: If you're done, I'd like to return to my original point about gaming journalism-

Person D: See for yourself the way #gamergate attempts to cover up vile misogyny by deflecting the issue!

Person C: But that guy hasn't been harassing anyone. Can we just talk about this like rational people?

Person B: More evidence of coercion and censorship by the feminist hive mind! The only solution is to drive these people out of gaming altogether!

Person D: I call on anyone who is a member of #gamergate to reject this kind of hate speech outright!

Person A & C: Can we please just talk about the original topic for one second?

Person D: #gamergate has thus been conclusively proven to full of trolls and misogynists! We must stop this movement now!

Person B: #gamergate continues despite the attempts of the feminist Vogon Constructor Fleet to destroy it!

Persons A and C go back to their respective homes and attempt to purge themselves by feeding their router into a blender. Persons B and D continue addressing them in their absence.

Please note: tongue held firmly in cheek throughout this post.

Seems about accurate, yeah.
Though I have to admit there are a surprising amount of A&C still crawling around in the trenches.

How is GamerGate even a thing? Do these people actually live on this planet. The sooner this bullshit blows over the better.

Yeah, this sounds about accurate and I'd say I probably fall in line with Person C. Does anyone have a rock I can crawl under?

I laughed.

Still needs a couple more people and a chorus line of people who get called a sockpuppet no matter if they support person a, b, c or d.

Oh, and person FU : The gleeful, poop flinging troll.

I enjoyed though OP.
Thanks

As much as a scoff at the idea that anyone is truly impartial. I'm going to guess that everyone is going to say they are all A or C. Even the B's and the D's. No one really sees themselves as an extremist. And if they do they just see themselves as extremely right.

Screw you, your labels and telling me i'm not going to identify with a label maaaaaaaaan!

Just to spite you, I'm now going to identify as X-tremely neutral.
Neutrality to the max yo!

It's righteous.

Person J: Since I have you all here. Have you guys seen the new Warlords of WoW expansion?! It is gonna be epic!

Person MSM: No! No, we have to talk about the online harassment of women in the gaming!

Average gamer: Huh? Wha? F' that noise. I am going to go play Call of Duty until the next one drops in a month.....

There. Finished the conversation for you.
