Yeah the root of my apathy towards the discussion, aside from depression and not caring about anything, is that almost none of these people really give a shit about this issue outside of the NeoGAF/twitter/etc bubble. They're not personally affected, and they're not putting in any actual work outside of the bubble that could cause meaningful change, they're just getting in on that group jerk sesh and trying to score some cred. Basically modern Amirox.
Don't get me wrong, there probably is nothing meaningful that these people could do, but I can't help but find their true motives suspect whether they're conscious of them or not.
