Gamergate is just one of those things that I can never truly maintain knowledge of. Someone could explain it to me right now and I'll forget about it in a month

Oh it wasn't anything different for the Gamergaters who couldn't even keep consistent what they were rallying against other than 'feminism, Kotaku and women"

I don't see what the point of this was. I mean you know anyone could go and just literally delete all of that to take about how Gamergate was about collusion between devs and reviewers while the media did their best to make it into something it wasn't about right?

Except it wouldn't be vandalizing. The harassment part was severely over covered by the media because they wanted to take attention away from what people were accusing them of. Just because some idiots harassed people doesn't mean that's what the majority were there for.

Why do I get the feeling that this guy himself has been banned from editing the article

Wikipedia articles are always cited, have people monitoring them unless they're really obscure (like an article about some ECW PPV from 1997) and if your edits are considered unsatisfactory they get reverted, articles can get locked, and your IP can get blacklisted from editing anything.

It's never a case of someone editing something and saying "well, no. THIS actually happened" and then they just throw their hands up in the air and leave it alone
