That's fair. The dustup over the personal relationship stuff I saw as just an excuse to launch the same old feminist assault on something new. -gate occurred because there was a significant backlash instead of mewling capitulation. I would say this should warrant praise, but the sort of guys who take video games that seriously are too socially unaware to "realize what they were doing".
I think that's an unfair and short-sighted summation, to be honest.
It sounds exactly like the kind of view someone not very familiar with gamergate would have and in fact, every person I know on the outside with an already apathetic position to the topic shares your sentiments.
Also, you keep implying gamergate is a male movement, that's also incorrect.
