Whenever this situation gets portrayed as something between two sides, it draws attention away from the fact that it's about a group of harassers VS their victims. That's not two equal yet opposite sides of an argument, and shouldn't be referred to as such.
It's telling that SXSW is using that language; they're willfully ignoring readily accessible information (the birth of gamergate from an ex-boyfriend's revenge post, their documented harassment of women in the games industry) and trying to portray themselves as neutral. In reality, they're somewhat like school administrators who see a bully beat up a classmate and decide to expel them both.
Oh my goodness Quackshot. This was one of the few games I owned for the Genesis and I played it over and over again. I remember far too much of this title than I should.
