This chart is bullshit. I'm as pro-GG as you want, but this chart is bullshit.

Most anti-GG are just intellectually lazy and take the "easy way out" of not siding with the ones accused of misoginy but that's in no way malice.

Many anti-GG are just misinformed because they've been fed bullshit by specialized gaming press, mainstream media and blogs while not having the opportunity of looking at the (censored) other side. Those are misinformed and should not be mistreated in any way.

Then you have those who just have too much of an ego and can't accept that they're wrong. Are they full of shit? Yes. Are they inherently bad people? No.

I honestly believe only a minority are willingfully against GamerGate because they are arrogant pricks who don't want to lose the only job they'll ever have (people like Leigh Alexander will never be hired again given her track record when Gamasutra sinks) and/or who want to gain more power by pushing their own egocentrical intolerant worldviews.

Why'd you think they keep pushing that "misoginy/toxicity" stuff? It's just to keep people misinformed and rally people with good intentions under their banner.

I worry about stereotypes.

Engage on a case by case basis.
