i don't think max is technically allowed to read that article without breaching ethics? is that how it works? there's some serious conflict of interest going on here

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"

What Is “Geek Culture”?Whatever it is, it doesn’t involve true geeks.

Geeks, it seems, are at the bottom of God’s great chain. While “freaks” such as James Franco and Seth Rogen from cult TV show Freaks and Geeks have gone far, the geeks have not (although Martin Starr has carved out a career as a postmodern Eddie Deezen).
― linda cardellini (zachlyon), Wednesday, 29 October 2014 03:40 (nine years ago) link
To be a real geek is largely to be invisible. We may hear about the “hackers” behind the Fappening or DDoS attacks on game servers, but these are trivial attacks next to what security wonks like Bruce Schneier discover every week, from the infamous “goto fail” bug to byzantine weaknesses in RSA Security. Most of these hackers aren’t out for fame or damage or money, but for the thrill of the chase itself—which is what it really means to be a geek.

So to sum it up, Fappening is trivial, we aren't listening to the moderate gamer haters. This Auerbach dude def seems like a dude I can trust about women's issues.
