Here is a report on GamerGate and it has video game developer, programmer, and podcaster, Brianna Wu. She talks about culture of misogyny in the gaming industry. Brianna discusses the death threats she has received.
I am stunned by what I am hearing and reading about this. The people defending it continue to talk about Journalistic integrity. I am all for Journalistic integrity. But you can’t bully people and make death threats. What kind of integrity would make death threats to others? I read many of the comments in the Youtube video and was completely taken back by the extreme views.
I understand that we, geeks, are very passionate. I get that completely. I know I am passionate too. But acting this way towards people is absolutely wrong. Even if they had any evidence of wrong doing, they have destroyed any shred of credibility in the manor they have gone about this.
Stay Geeky My Friends!
