#Gamergate: A moderate's Perspective

I understand that this topic is extremely heated, I ask any one who wish to comment to keep it civil :D

I've been watching this controversy unfold for many many months now without actively participating in it. I'm an outsider looking in, an observer. Since not many around me wish to talk about the subject, I simply can not bottle up my thoughts any longer.

For my regular viewers: Sorry for the heavy topic, you know we don't normally get so serious on this channel. More game impression coming very soon!
