In the process of writing this post, I had to browse through some pro-GG articles and stuff.
It... didn't really get any better, did it? It's still mostly gamers with a persecution complex the size of GabeN, trying to quash any kind of intellectualism and social significance in video game criticism through boycotts and intimidation. The more I hear of them, the more they remind me of the Religious Right and their fight for organized (Christian) prayers in public institutions, the (Christian) Ten Commandments in courts, "traditional" (Christian) marriage, and so on. It's pretty much Culture Warriors versus Social Justice Warriors at this point.
An article on Slate called Gamersgate "the Benghazi of the video games world". I guess I can agree on that, even though the rest of the article is the usual one-sided garbage we have come to expect from the press. No mention of Quinn's fake dox. Nothing about the TFYC fiasco. Completely ignores the fact that Gamersgate has greatly outgrown the original group of dudebros who started the crusade against her, for better or (mostly) for worse. And that portrayal of Leigh Alexander as an innocent martyr is just delicious.
In other news, now things are going all the way up to the court system:

This story can only be found in MRA- or Gamergate-related sites (is there even a difference between the two at this point?) While it would not be exactly surprising if it was true or at least partly so, I'm reserving my judgement for now.
