Banned
What did Boogie say exactly to get banned? I watched his post-ban video and he seemed to be pretty reasonable there and had, what I thought, was a pretty balanced view on the whole thing.
Instead of generalizing everyone on one side of the debate and attacking them, people should focus on making the community better for everyone, while attacking the few individuals who are actually causing harm.
When we take the extreme crazy posts on some obscure Tumblr blog, and paint all feminists that way. Or take some incredibly offensive twitter remarks from some random person and paint all gamers that way.. well that just adds fuel to the fire on both sides. Everyone moves into defensive mode, and it incites more of them to go on the attack.
this would be a nice sentiment if gamergate was a legitimate movement with a few bad apples. it's a rebranded hate campaign from the assholes who have been harassing people like Anita and Zoe for years. they don't have real complaints or goals. time and time again their claims of corruption have been debunked. the only decent thing to do is to categorically denounce them.
