The Gamergate supports are just as bad as the people they are against. I just wish it was actually about equality rather than a thinly veiled attempt to give one group of people power over another.
For example, here is the latest post from Brianna Wu, the most vocal advocate of women's rights in the gamer community:
"Let’s speak plainly. ALL WHITE PEOPLE need ask how they’re contributing to a system that marginalizes, imprisons and murders black people."
-Equality is about not treating an entire group of people through the same stereotypes and pejoratives, but this is exactly what she does. If it's not white males, it's another group that doesn't agree with her.
Her company is aimed at creating video games only for women and she proudly only employs women. This is hardly equal, fair, or non-sexist.
I would like true equality: hired on the basis of your talent and merit rather than the color of your skin or your gender.
