Lack of self-awareness at this level is just…….well, you can’t make this stuff up.

This is usually the part where most bloggers note that they haven’t written much about this GamerGate thing for one reason or another. I keep wanting to write about it, but then something new happens and it gets even stranger, and so far I’ve just ended up with an ever-growing list of links that I might one day make into an outline or history or something. The #NotYourScapegoat thing just seems too rich to pass up, though.
Here’s a bit of context, sort of:
GG have now developed #NotYourScapeGoat, so defenceless white men can stand up for themselves. Nothing can possibly go wrong with this plan.

Wow. #NotYourScapeGoat shows Gamergate has nothing do to with journalism. Its a reactionary movement against progressivism in general.
