Can you just stick to one gamergate thread that nobody gives a shit about instead of making many gamergate threads that nobody gives a shit about?

Thanks.

If you can't explain your point to the layman, you have no business considering yourself an authority on the subject. =

It's a disinfo story that was amplified out of proportion to drown out the CIA sexual torture (rectal feeding without medical necessity) papers the week they came out. It was also the impetus for activating censorship programs at a number of major discussion hubs (4chan and Reddit most prominently).

If it doesn't seem to add up when taken at face value, that's because it doesn't. But don't underestimate the importance of the story -- it's one of the first full-scale demonstrations of the overwhelming power of disinformation and debate redirection in the internet age.
