There has been criticism, too, which has resulted in gamers claiming that we hate them. We don’t hate gamers. We are gamers. Numerous (often offensive and widely incoherent) attempts to provoke controversy and scandal about the relationship between game developers and the games press have resulted in some people saying that RPS should be destroyed. Perhaps unsurprisingly, we disagree with that proposition, and we’ll explain why we disagree in this article.

Who actually gives a rats ass about any of this? A woman no one was listening to lied about something... Something that either no one seems willing to admit they actually care about or are going to flat out dismiss as "SJW nonsense".
Can we issue a moratorium on the use of the term "SJW"? As if striving for "social justice" or equality is something that should be frowned upon and mocked?
The trend around here of stereotyping anyone with an opinion that even remotely sways from the white male dominated society we live in... really just makes you look ignorant.
