So not only did they completely bring this on themselves, now we can surmise that someone involved in SXSW's scheduling is a Gator or a Gator sympathizer. Idiots.
So by not outright refusing a gamergate panel you're assuming that the staff at SXSW must be gators?
Can you not see how this kind of leap in logic is bad? Shutting down all discussion is not in the best interest of an event like SXSW. It took actual death threats till they decided that they had to stop the panel, that should show that the event coordinators are determined for their event to be an open platform for all.
This shit is not going to go away as it's been more than a year, the only way forward is for some kind of dialogue and reconciliation to take place.
Trust me, i'm as pissed off as anyone about the panels being cancelled.
