What the fuck is going on at resetera
They spend 4 years transforming criticism of game journalism into a dogwhistle for harassment of women
Like yeah they don't think gamergate was ever about "ethics in game journalism" but then anyone criticizing game journos must be insidiously using it to lead into harassment rhetoric
To the point where they have real clear cut rules about criticizing any sites or blogs with a broad brush and ban people based on true statements like "kotaku is trash" or "schreier doesn't construct his articles very well"
But now we have a whole thread made on the same premise, painting game journalism with a broad brush
Tons of people with the hot takes saying "this just keeps happening"
One of their own verifieds
goes off in the thread talking about how gaming writers aren't journalists which is gamergate 101
And now to the point that they ban someone for saying it
sounds like someone else is using gamergate-style rhetoricWhat is even going on
