Post Body

GamerGate was about ethics in games journalism right? So why do so many people who are part of the movement get involved in review bombing campaigns?

Like I get giving a low rating to something but brigading with 1* reviews because one or two things pissed you off about a tv show seems to be against what I thought GamerGate stood for.

To pick She-Hulk for example. It wasn't the best, but it didn't suck. I'd ping a star for the TV quality CGI and ping a star for some of the cringe writing. But its a 3/5 show, not a 1/5 show.
