If I stick with GAF, it'd seem like misogyny, or simply male centric thinking, wasn't too big in geek culture and gamergate will seem like a distant, fringe group you'd typically find on 4chan or a weird subreddit. But go on other sites and any mention of feminism, Anita Sarkeesian, or simply not pandering to male audiences, is met with a ton of hostility by virtually everyone. Posters who seemed rational will be overcome by rage if you mention removing gratuitous usage of boobs from a game's cover. This threw me for a loop since I thought we were getting better. I thought people who called themselves geeks were supposed to be a bit more knowledgeable and open minded. Nope. How bad is it, really, though? Because it almost makes me want to avoid any other sites as any rational discussion about this stuff is impossible.
Edit: Maybe not misogyny, but sexist. I somehow forgot the word.
