"of course. but part of the mentality of gamergate, i think is a 'threat' to their perceived identity, as well as their feeling that opening gaming up to people not like 'them' means there are a whole lot of people who have been 'brainwashed'. a much more extreme version than detractors of Go, who I'm guessing are essentially decent human beings who just feel strongly about programming languages?" - Snipergirl
