It's so important that no one really knows what it's all about.
But they will take a few hours explaining what it's really about...when it's not.
We all know about video game tropes and the steady leveling out of male to female gamers. We also know that the balance is all f-ed up. The lack of sensible or fully clothed females as strong or powerful characters is only now being addressed. The demographic of the female "Gamers" is on the rise but the "boys club" of trolls across the world feel themselves threatened or even in danger of "not being the apex nerd" while the term "nerd girl" or "Gamer Chick" is growing in standards and popularity. There are a ton of various sock-puppets who run around on the internet with no clout who see ladies who take an active role in standing up for themselves as "the enemy" and "feminists". The truth is integrity comes from acting on a moral decision. The decision must be "Girls and boys like the same thing and people want equality" just like civil rights and considerations for gender and people's likes.

NOPE
We need celebrate games as the works they are. We need to rally behind games that reflect positively on a gender without simply exploiting features. We need to stand up for people who are willing to stomp their feet when something goes amiss and corruption is exposed. That's the only way "Gamer Gate" can come to an end and how it has anything to do with you.
Gamer Gate does nothing to improve the industry.
