so the charity ablegamers, which supports disabled gamers, declined some money that a gamergate-connected porn star was going to raise for them (no, really). ablegamers responded that they had "no interest in being linked to a 'gamergater stream weaponizing porn'" (full response here: http://i.imgur.com/n9D0fl8.png)
naturally kotakuinaction's response was thoughtful, measure and - nah jk it was vile shit like this:

I wasted some of my time over the weekend tweeting at some dude who had a kneejerk anti-feminist reaction to an article that was completely uncontroversial about diversity in computer science. I think he admitted to never reading the article at one point, and he claimed he was just tired of people from outside of the tech sector causing problems or some bullshit.
He spent a fair amount of time trying to qualify the writer (who writes for website Ars Technica) as "not in tech."
Also, I hate everything now.
― valleys of your mind (mh), Monday, 8 December 2014 14:55 (nine years ago) link
Eh, I'd suspect that the video was at least crafted to be claimed by both sides - a lot of GG are quite insistent that theirs is the diverse side (because obviously SJWs are all actually white straight men white knighting), and stating an identity as a gamer will be seen by them as a pro-GG move - they are still very very hilariously hurt over the 'Gamers are dead' articles.

[–]zabchob [score hidden] 52 minutes ago Interesting. Looks like this was precipitated at least in part by perceived poor performance by editorial director Joel Johnson. I'm not familiar with Mr. Johnson, does anyone know more about him or his work in that position?
[–]HandofBane [score hidden] 6 minutes ago I think Johnson was the one who wrote that completely off-the-rails article in response to Biddle and Read getting called out about the bullying comments, where the infamous "we have lost thousands of dollars with potential for millions" line came from.
[–]Rocket_McGrain [score hidden] 3 minutes ago Ah this makes sense as to why he sold him out with personal language.
He's angry at him for admitting defeat, if this is true that is.
If it is, it's great news.
They are firing anyone who speaks the truth.

well there's a little something to it. from the memo:
http://www.capitalnewyork.com/article/media/2014/12/8558256/nick-denton-steps-down-gawker-president-names-seven-person-managing-bo
Executive Editor: Tommy Craggs
Tommy inadvertently sparked this whole reshuffle, but not out of any personal ambition. If anything, I feared he wouldn't take a position that a friend had so recently occupied. It’s only because of his sense of obligation to colleagues that he’s accepting the appointment.
What Tommy did was simply to set me thinking, through something he said during a conversation just as Gamergate was subsiding. “I just want to break a fucking story.” Or maybe it was “I just want to fucking break a story.” One of the two.
Anyway, it got me thinking. Yes, that’s exactly it. That editorial freedom we’re so proud of: just do something with it. Something meaningful, more meaningful than a toxic flame war that showed only the internet’s capacity to divide, and none of its capacity to reconcile.
Then I went off the rails, as I do, and asked myself: damn, is Gamergate really our story of the year? You are only as good as your last story, that’s what they would say on Fleet Street. Yes, we do need to break a fucking story, or fucking break a story, whichever it was. And we need to grab hold of our own company narrative, change the conversation in the only way we know how, through sensational scoops and unfettered opinion.

kind of feel like it's a slippery slope between "gamergaters are scum" and "gamers are funny"
which they kind of are, but I know a few people who definitely fit that gamer aesthetic but are really great people? I don't know, it's definitely not my thing
