So, for those of you who didn't know yet, Gamergate is absolutely NOT a sexist organization dedicated to harassing women, pushing against equality, and reinforcing the stereotypes of gamers as nothing but misogynistic, basement dwelling, hatemongers.
So with that in mind, they have finally taken it upon themselves to reinvent themselves. Seeing as way too many people were lying about what Gamergate meant, they have created their own little website to show the truth about themselves, calling it Reaxxion...
I'll just do a quick check and... Oh Dear lord.

For those who actually bought into the "It's about ethics in Journalism", I'm so sorry.
Yup. big shocker, it was all actually an MRA organization wearing a pretty little gamer mask. The Head honcho of this site even admits he's not a gamer. Even goes so far as to promote his sexist little site called "Return Of Kings" right on the first post. (I'm not linking because Ew.)
The lack of self-awareness on this site is hilarious. They even state that no views other than that of heterosexual males will be accepted. Oh wait, there's a provision made for "attractive" women. Which I assume means ladies against women.
I'd like to say I didn't know this already, but having them reveal themselves as exactly what they are makes me feel much better about being a gamer. It wasn't gamers after all, thank GOD.
Here's hoping the industry will continue to grow and accept the vast diversity of real gamers. After all, what's important is that we accept folks who want to be a part of our hobby, and not create our own little clubhouses dedicated to US!
I mean, I think we've seen that before...
9:53 AM PT: Oh God this is too priceless. They seem to think I'm Kos, or something. Seeing how far down this is on the Rec list, I assume that they were just waiting for someone to call them out.
Precious.
