If you consider yourself moderate and still support GamerGate, it's time to reexamine things. Maybe soon we'll be able to start more discussions (even here on GAF) about ethics in journalism that stay far away from this hashtag, but right now, sadly, the hatred has drowned out any sort of legitimate discussions people might want to have It actually took far, far longer than I'm comfortable with for this to sink into my thick skull. When you finally detach yourself from GG, and move away from the constant reinforcement the group provides that "no, we're doing the right thing! These are the bad guys, remember how bad they made you feel? We're doing the RIGHT THING!" you look and see h--------. This really IS a hate movement fueled by nutters. How did I get dragged into this?! I'd implore GG supporters to distance themselves from the tag, and from the community, and take a very good look at everything that's going on, and all of the people who are being hurt. Are videogame websites, that we dont even visit, worth peoples LIVES being ruined? It's so easy to feel like it's all just a game, because we aren't the ones on the other end of the hatred. It's easy to point at someone and call "false flag!" because we aren't the ones who are sitting there, having people actually show up on our doorstep, saying "come out and plaaayy". The ends do NOT justify the means We dont NEED #GG to do good. There are a lot of people who want to achieve the same goals as us, but we are RADIOACTIVE until we move away from #GG because of what it represents. We can't start enacting change when the people who actually could start making these changes happen want nothing to do with us

I'm not going to distance myself from a movement just because said movement contains "a few bad eggs." All ideological groups have "a few bad eggs," it just comes with the territory. Religious groups, political movements, and even feminism/social justice groups have elements associated with them that they would prefer everyone overlooked…and in all fairness, don't represent the rest of the group as a whole.

Gamers are no different, and trying to generalize a group of over a billion people is inherently fallacious to begin with.
