...and now that I've read Kazerad's posts... well.
The picture of GamerGate that he paints doesn't seem entirely unreasonable, actually.
Harassment is, of course, inexcusable. But I'm starting to think I've been too hasty in framing things in terms of black and white.
I don't know. I'm going to have to think about this some more. I'm not about to do a 180 and start supporting those guys based purely on a series of tumblr posts, but I'm definitely, you know, shifting the weights a little. Maybe they at least deserve more credit than I've been giving them.
