The whole "harrassing girls from games" thing is stupid from both sides.
GG thinks only women get harassed and therefore are too stupid to do anything unless they e-beg.
AGG thinks women are too stupid to block people or tell some to fuck off unless they e-beg.

Conclusion, and GamerGate’s Legacy
It should be clear by now that an overwhelming majority of people see GamerGate as nothing more than a misogynistic harassment campaign. While GamerGate might tell themselves that everyone’s been brainwashed by lies or something, they absolutely cannot avoid the reality that almost no one is on their side. No one takes them seriously, and pretty much everyone wants their hopeless movement to disperse already.

GamerGate might point to AirPlay as an example of journalists taking GamerGate seriously, but that effort seems to be born largely out of ignorance, from journalists who are far enough removed from tech coverage that they somehow missed all of the GamerGate stories last fall. Watching AirPlay’s organizer slowly get more fed up with GamerGate is like watching a microcosm of how everyone eventually gave up on trying to talk to GamerGaters.

“Maybe I should’ve listened to my fellow SPJ board members: This isn’t worth the time and aggravation, especially when compelling projects await. Maybe everyone else was right and I was wrong. I have no regrets, because I’ve learned so much and enjoyed almost all of it. But I’m beginning to regret wasting the time of so many others, lobbying them that GamerGate is worth a good, hard look.”

The Week compared GamerGate to a soccer team that has only ever managed to score on its own goal and responds with self-congratulatory remarks on a job well done. Their efforts to silence feminist and political critique of games actually ended up inspiring more of it. Their efforts to convince journalists to stop critiquing gamers for their sexist, bigoted behavior has only amplified people’s awareness of society’s misogyny problem. Their efforts to discredit Zoe Quinn, Leigh Alexander, Anita Sarkeesian, and Brianna Wu have led to them becoming some of the most respected voices in games, as more people are inspired by their work against abuse and their advancement of the medium itself. Their efforts to scare women out of the games industry actually led to more money, time, and talent being dedicated towards fixing tech’s diversity problem.

Before GamerGate, people might have had a rough idea of how diversity in teams was good for companies and how online harassment was maybe a problem that needed to be fixed. But now I suspect that people’s thought processes tend to go like this: Why do we need diversity in tech? Because of GamerGate. Why do need to fix online harassment? Because of GamerGate. Why is feminism so important? Because: GamerGate.

GamerGate was one of those landscape-changing events that deeply changed the communities affected by it. The entire tech industry seems to be much more aware of these issues, and supporting under-represented groups seems to be the “cool” thing to do now if you’re a tech or entertainment company. There’s still a ton of work that needs to be done before the problem of online harassment and misogyny is fixed, but for now, I’m just immensely proud to be part of an industry that’s moving in the right direction.
 
I like the gaymer 'I live many lives' thing. It's a signpost for people who are wasting thier real lives away, just so they can get that next achievement.

They fought tumblr and lost. I can't think of anything more humiliating.
 
Gamergate is nothing but first-world-problems. Both sides tried to ruin something fun by plastering their worthless agendas to it.

That we have to live with their failure and Tumblr's victory.

No wonder the Internet Aristocrat went into hiding.

GamerGate shoulda quit when more ethical standards were imposed into journalism. Now they just look like whiny manchildren and fucking Tumblr can successfully project their worst traits onto us gamers without fear of repercussion due to the SJWs' influence high up. GG, GG. [bass drops] #REKT
 
One r/KotakuInAction user has gone full damage control and shows that there are actually mostly GamerGaters..... by using the infamous ABC GamerGate Youtube vid as a source out of over 1000+ sources. :lol:
