Wow! 88% of people reported as harassers weren't associated with GamerGate! That just proves that GG isn't about harassment, and is only about ethics in gaming journalism! I'm totally convinced!
All sarcasm aside, why even bother including this? It's a bullshit, misleading statistic designed to make people believe what you're trying to say. It's an association fallacy at its finest. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_fallacy)
Me, I'll believe that GG isn't a harassment campaign when all the harassment and doxxing in its name stops - ALL of it. Plain and simple.
