Honestly I wish both sides would just go away at this point as the extremists have pretty much set up shop with no intention of leaving. Are ethics in the video game industry an important matter? Given the amount of reviewers on youtubers who do not disclose brand deals and falsely feed their viewer base biased opinions due to how much they've been paid, and the growing number of reviewers who outright demand to be paid in advance to simply look at content - yes I do believe it is an issue. However so is the rampant sexism in the industry and the fact that many of the more die hard GG's ARE in fact steaming piles of misogynist trash. Yet they aren't the only side who has engaged in unethical crap flinging. I follow several youtubers who, while not aligned with GG, receive death threats and doxxing attempts for even thinking to criticize some of the more prominent members of the anti-GG movement. There is no world where that is acceptable - and before anyone tries to put words in my mouth it's just as unacceptable when done in reverse. This whole thing makes me sick to my stomach to see just how far some people are willing to go to prove themselves in the right.
Can't we all just agree unethical conduct and sexism are both bad and move away from the whole debacle to actually tackle these issues? At this point it's just two minority sides seeing who can scream the loudest, with the more rational people stuck in the middle of the spectrum getting thrown into the pits on either side for daring to agree with one slightly over the other.
