That would be like looking at the Battle of the Somme and saying "what Someone is wrong on The Internet we are seeing here is a difference of opinion about the legitimacy of the expansionist aspirations of the Austro-Hungarian Empire." We're way beyond that now Navigation -Ally Foggl Main page Recent changes Randomm Help Best of RationalWiki All logs "Gamergate" is a targeted harassment campaign in the video game community that began in August 2014. Run by bitter anti-feminist gamers, other Internet agitators, and trolls, the trigger was a prurient tell all rant posted by the ex-boyfriend of indie game developer Zoe Quinn, who has consequently been driven from her home by death threats The overall goal of Gamergate is to eliminate feminists and feminist ideas from the gaming community. The methods of those most active and organized in Gamergate generally involve publishing the personal information of feminist game developers and critics (mostly women), and attempting to drive them out of the community with mass r--- and death threats, which usually contain the victim's home address. Meanwhile, Gamergate has attempted to present the image of itself as a respectable, nonviolent grassroots movement targeting "corruption in gaming journalism." This has been accomplished by deliberate campaigns to spread disinformation, which were originally coordinated on 4chan, until 4chan banned discussion of Gamergate 121 prompting a mass exodus to 8chan. This favourable spin has allowed Gamergate to enlist the support of some useful idiots genuinely concerned about gaming journalism and dissatisfied with the gaming industry status quo. Literally none of Gamergate's advocates' claims of "what really happened" check out on closer examination-including claims that seem initially plausible The Gamergate debacle may be viewed as having arisen from a pre-existing climate of hostility toward women. Harassment directed at prominent women in the gaming community, notably Anita Sarkeesian, has been an ongoing problem since at least 2012 page Log in ACS:Law Community Saloon bar Forum To do list New pages Technical support Intercom Twitter Bl America Speaking Out .

These guys (or so the story goes) formed to oppose Conservapedia.

…now look at what this "Rational" Wiki has been reduced to (not just this, but so damn many of their articles too have become nothing more than biased unresearched nonsense ).

RW, you have an entry on Nietzsche. You should have read this:

“Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster… for when you gaze long into the abyss. The abyss gazes also into you.”

― Friedrich Nietzsche
