I do admit that gaming "journalism" is ethically screwed up, even if gamergate transparently doesn't care about that and only focuses on it when it suits their misogyny, ignoring outright bribery when it involves men. Actually, just about an niche press becomes an industry mouthpiece in return for access. I read lots of glowing previews of the iPad Air 2 and lots of glowing review. Not one of them that I saw mentioned the damn things vibrates like a washing machine any time you use the speaker. Pointing out this off-putting flaw would have angered Apple, so they just didn't. Access trumps consumer interests.
Most GG people are not conservative, they tend to be liberal. However they are mostly cis white males atheists, the so called 'neckbeard' group. They agree in the basic values of liberalism, but they think in the social realm things have gone to far. Perhaps 'liberal libertarian' or something is the appropriate word.

I think this is the first time in 10 years that I am barely discussing the upcoming US elections on CBR.

Is this racism? An overreaction? A mixture of both? This small town almost seems like a caricature of racist small towns you find in the south..but this is New Jersey.
This hazing involved "sexual penetration"...? Dare I even ask if that means these kids were..what, raped? Violated? What kind of weird football shenanigans is afoot?
