This is a little off-topic, but someone is kickstarting a documentary about gamergate called '#gamer', and you wouldn't believe who shows up in the first picture when you scroll down.

Here's the link to the kickstarter:

I looked at that Kickstarter, and they claim they will represent all sides.
If they keep their word, it might be worth funding.
Let's look into this a bit.
1. By all accounts, no major Gamergate supporter (Usher, Oliver, Sargon, etc) has yet been contacted by Chris Haines.
2. Chris Haines has had active conversations with Feminist Frequency, Brianna Wu, Mattie Brice, and many of the other usual suspects, as well as with opposition to the Sad Puppies.
3. Not that you'd know this if you looked at his recently-blanked and curiously evidence-free twitter. I swear, it's like the Antis forget that Archiving software exists.
4. Brianna Wu is involved. Brianna is more sane than many Antis, but as we saw earlier, cannot handle herself in a debate.
5. The opening video features Brianna prominently, with dramatic music, as Brianna Wu intones:
Brianna Wu said:I think its core psychological motivation with the Gamergaters is that they feel the "Gamer" culture is under attack.
Their empathy is criminally low. They don't see me as a person. They don't see Zoe Quinn as a person.
To which I'll reply:
6. This is followed by, just as prominently: Zoe Quinn, who looks all in the world like she's living off a mixture of orange juice and cocaine, and nearly 2 minutes of covering how victimized she is by that mean ol' Gamergate. It lionizes her in the damned thing at the end as well, as she bitches about how "MY DREAMS ARE DEAD."
7. It repeatedly asks: HAS THE PURSUIT OF ETHICS BECOME A WITCH HUNT?
8. It cites more of the same whining mangina bitching about how the internet's gotten too mean.
9. Almost of the backers with multiple contributions also backed Indie Game: The Movie and/or GameLoading.
10. It cites GamerGhazi as a source.
Yeah, this is as likely to be a balanced portrayal as Ahuviya Harel is to die of natural causes.
