Thanks - I am going to check it out. I’ve read a bunch of stuff about this mess but it is still confusing.

I have noticed, though, that any discussion soon leads to the fact that Zoe Quinn is a slut and Anita Sarkeesian isn’t a real gamer. :-(

It’s not just disingenuous tribal bullshit, it’s exactly the same disingenuous tribal bullshit used by wingnuts.

The single best thing is where it’s pointed out that GG simultaneously claims that games are the way they are because of market forces, but also insists that anyone who comments on representation can’t be a consumer (ergo, is an interloper with an agenda).

Replace “consumer” with “citizen” and the whole thing sounds very, very familiar.
