Gawker is a media outlet that owns Kotaku (the main website that people who are pro-#GG despise), Jezebel and a bunch of other blogging sites. There's no real journalism on the Gawker network, and yet they present themselves as such.

being "pro-#GG" as you say isn't really related to sensibility. it's mostly just related to how much you care about things that don't matter

Oh I wasn't necessarily relating pro-#GG to sensibility, excuse you.

He didn't even say that it had to be pro GG people
I'm pretty sure he said that in order to include those people who are somewhat on either side or are moderate or some stuff and still have some mental integrity.

A couple of the people there have actual degrees in journalism, yet none of them display any signs of journalistic integrity.

and some loving idiot supposedly investigateed her

honestly, forget gamergate and Gawker. Gamergate has too vocal of an actually misogynistic minority to be taken seriously, and Gawker does piss poor biased reporting on stuff

Ipquarx · October 23, 2014, 03:49:08 PM

nobody ever thinks that it might actually be people trying to make gamergate look bad do they

Each side has a group to it that is too radical for either side to be taken seriously
At least gawker's getting hit

I'm starting to wonder how many of the people private investigating others are pro-gamergate and how many are anti-gamergate trying to make gamergate look bad.
