one of the aspects of gamergate that really bothers me is the immediate dismissal of anyone that suggests corruption is a problem is just using it as a cover for misogyny. It has led to an attitude that corruption is only a problem among liberals.
Do you think that corporate sponsored politicians undermining women's health is a bigger problem than depictions of women in art? And what would you propose could be done to disassociate arguments against corruption from gamergate?
I would partially agree with the statement, but the truth of the matter is that the only media outlets that covered gamergate largely were Milo Yiannopoulos and Christina Hoff Sommers, who are both associated with right-wing organizations. If you ever monitor the ongoings of Gamergate forums, there is much bellyaching against "leftists" or "SJWs" from a slice of the population that doesn't really have too much interaction with politics at large.

According to the poles done on KiA, majority of the people identify as Liberals or Moderates, with only a small amount of them being conservative. The slandering on "leftists" is mostly Extreme (or Authoritarian) Leftists. Also, Sommers is NOT affiliated with right-wing organizations. This misconception comes from the fact that she posted something online, to which an MRA site asked if they could repost it. She agreed, and everyone went nuts saying she wrote it for that site, when that was not the case.
Undermining women's health? Do you know how much more research money is spent for women's health issues when compared to men? I will tell you this, it is not a small number1

Or maybe just older conservatives who are tickled to see youngsters calling BS on the left and kicking the crap out of them.
