Updated Editor's Note 11/7/2017 - In an effort to further commit to our editorial vision of quality content about nothing but games or the industry, we are leaving this note here to let you know that this article does not meet the standards of that vision as it exists today. This article may be poorly written, or it may be well-written but with charged political content, which we have stepped away from. It's not the ideas we have a problem with, as we do not discourage any viewpoint, we are just moving away from this sort of content. This article no longer represents TechRaptor's editorial vision today and into the future. You can read more about why we are doing this here.

It's been a pretty wild ride these past six months or so. It seems that not a day goes by where #GamerGate isn't the talk of the internet. They're the new big group, right alongside Anonymous, to become a major force on the world wide web. As someone who was once part of the movement, I've taken time to put myself back on the fence as I rejoined the world of video game journalism. I've spoken about ethics in game journalism, but for me it's nothing really that special. I was talking about them as far back as 2010. It is part of who I am. For the few people who know of my reputation, my adherence to and writing on ethics are just part of my modus operandi. What of #GamerGate though? What has it become? What have I found as I have observed it from the fence, alongside fellow neutrals? Watch and see.
