Nope <3
They hit the nail on the head! Thanks for that.
It actually points out that, while Gamergate is about what you said it is (which I already stated above), the majority of the tweets are negative VS positive. Neutral tweets are simply people talking about it. If more people are being negative than are positive, and the rest are indifferent, I think that means that you're overshadowed by the negative.

I think in the attempt to justify yourself, you failed to recognize that she's making light of the word itself. How can you, as a group, be so lazy to not just change your name? And then expect other people on the outside look in and try to figure out who's right and who's wrong?
As a friend recently said to me: "If I was a fan of crips and blood attire and then found out that's the shit they're into, I'ma stop wearing it."
I'll help start you off: Journalismgate. Reviewergate. Ethicsgate. Writinggate.
Journalismgate - What kind of journalism?
Reviewergate - What kind of reviewers?
Ethicsgate - Ethics? Ethics in what?
Writinggate - Writing? What kind of writing?
Gamergate - Hey... this is about video games, and the -gate suffix probably means that it's about corruption and some kind of cover-up!
Now you're just being sad lol.Â
I could easily say your argument for "Gamergate" is "OH GOD WHAT ABOUT GAMES?"

This is how we debate, though. Shout "nuh-uh" and "yuh-huh." As happens in every discussion about this stupid thing, the for-GG people link articles and sources, and the anti-GG people just shout it down.
Small wonder why this turns into what it is.
I actually agreed with what you had to say, Warren. There are definite problems. A bunch of unknowns behind a tag with a bunch of harassing unknowns isn't going to solve it, either.
