Hi, I'm the submitter of this story (but I am not the author). This article talks about the controversy the has been talked about (and sometimes silenced) in the internet for the past week and a half.
It is a long read and it is clear what the author's "side" is, but I think it is interesting for two reasons.
First, if you're a gamer and follow gaming news, you should be interested in this. Even if you don't think there is an ethical problem, you should know what is (possibly) happening behind the curtains.
Second, I really like following these kinds of things. Seeing complete strangers organize themselves is astounding. The fight against the first bouts of censorship, this regretabble flamewars and harassement, how they find dirt and connect information. I love it all in a "trashy soap-opera/reality TV" kind of way.
This whole situation has a lot to talk about, and it's not just about one thing. It relates not only to corrupt journalist but also to a sex scandal and harassement, feminism and SJW[1], and a revived indie gogo campaign about feminism being "sponsored" by 4chan.
The article has links in the end for more information.
