Fuck GamerGate.

Seriously, fuck GamerGate and everyone who still supports it. If you're someone who wants to support the ostensibly good issues brought up by GamerGate without supporting the assholes who do shit like this, then here's a thought: stop associating yourself with fucking GamerGate. Stop claiming to be part of GamerGate. Come up with a new name for yourselves if you have to (and don't let the assholes corrupt it as they have GamerGate), but stop championing GamerGate itself. GamerGate is nothing but an irredeemably toxic shithole of a buzzword now, and if you claim to support it, even if you honestly don't actually support the threateners and doxxers and misogynist asshats and whoever else, then it might be unfair to you, but you're still going to be associated with them. You're still going to be painted with that same brush. There's simply no getting around that now. There has been far too much bullshit spewed over far too short a time for GamerGate to ever be able to clean itself off and "go legit," so to speak. So, to reiterate, if you still claim to support GamerGate at this point and time, then sorry, but you're an irredeemably toxic shithole in the eyes of myself and many others, and there is nothing you can do to change that, except to stop supporting goddamn fucking GamerGate.

internet, fuck gamergate
