The key to reducing the movement’s size lies in the little known but surprisingly numerous species I call the Gamergate moderate (Gamergater moderabilus)

When Polygon editor Ben Kuchera tweets, “The legacy of the hashtag will be in its ability to prove how terribly this industry treats women,” he makes no sense. Gamergate is mostly made up of consumers, not industry members. (Developer Brianna Wu has pointed out that Gamergate is merely a symptom of a much larger problem.) Through sleight of hand, Gamergate absorbs the sins of gaming companies and media organizations. It’s a neat trick, making Gamergate a convenient target of ostracism that serves to make the rest of us feel better about ourselves and non-Gamergate elements of society.

let's see, an indie developer has her personal life blown up on the internet, a feminist youtuber releases her work to a chorus of threats, niche websites run a few articles about how gaming culture has problems (the same problems as larger tech culture or just culture in general) and the way to end this mess is... a new editorial regime at gawker? somehow i doubt it.

You may be understandably hesitant to make such an offer to people who have been associated with the Gamergate movement. But if South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission can do it, I don’t think I’m asking so much. The particular flashpoint of Gamergate will recur in different forms, and you want as many people on the side of decency as possible.
the hell are you even on about man
who is going to hold these hearings. who is going to enforce this agreement. what authority are you appealing to. what.

auerbach: Gawker, if you want to claim any moral authority on Gamergate, I would first issue a public apology to all you have wronged—from Asians to Heather Morris to Amanda Bynes—issue new clear guidelines to guard against any backsliding, and change the company name to mark a clean break with the toxic Gawker brand. Failing that, Gawker publisher Nick Denton should at least turn the site over to a journalist with a pristine ethical track record.
"toxic gawker brand" links to this article, the site of which has run a lot of pro-gg stuff: http://adland.tv/adnews/gawker-toxic-brands-who-partner-them/1291467968
the headline is "Gawker is toxic to brands who partner with them". the article itself is a pro-gg gloss on an AdAge article.
what's the headline of the AdAge article? "How Brands Should React to Gamergate: Don't"
