The best summary I've seen to date comes from

One of my conservative friends (who I butt heads with on a regular basis) is on the side of, "it's about ethics in journalism," which I find confusing. I haven't seen any proof of unethical behavior anywhere."

What are your thoughts?

+many.

There is no evidence of Zoe doing anything unethical in gaming journalism. There is evidence of people going to extremes to punish her for things outside of gaming journalism.

Is there ethical problems in journalism? Sure, but I don't see movements gathering over AAA games, of which there is plenty of evidence that they've been sold out on,

It seems like another case of "boys" going crazy because "girls" are playing with their toys. Or worse yet, asking or working for their own.

I haven't seen proof of any wrongdoing, but apparently "everybody knows about it."

Yeah, everyone knows about unicorns on this plane, too.

Well she's admitted to not behaving the best in the relationship with her ex... but my goodness, that's totally a valid thing for a bunch of strangers to get involved with online, amiright?

Fuck that noise, she's got the moral high ground forever in that relationship, given everything that's happened to her as part of gamergate.

And also, doesn't explain what's happened to all the other women involved.
