Granted it was during a bleak period of my life when I was so reactionary. But my god, to think these goobers are still around today, still doing racism and sexism, just moving from target to target to take out the impotent rage on.

Just reminded of it today with the "discourse" of Yasuke being in Ass Creed and G*mers changing any woman not white and waifish with AI.

Naive question - why do you feel shame? I wasn't too invested in the events back in 2014 when they happened, but after reading the leaked "GameJournoPros" chat thread it seemed like the "Gaters" were right in their criticisms of journalistic ethics in the video games industry.

Genetic fallacies about the motivations of GamerGaters aside, if you personally advocated for ethics in journalism with pure intentions and didn't doxx or harass anyone, why would you feel shame?

There were exactly zero people doing that in G*merGate.
