I just posted this as a reply to the article, but I'll post it here because I think it is a good reply to your comments as well.

Any group with more then 2 members will have someone that does things the rest disagree with. The actions of a few should not spoil it for everyone, and should not cover the entire message. Individuals within Gamergate and Social Justice Warriors get lumped together with others they wouldn't otherwise want anything to do with. Pedophiles, harassers, money grubbing people just waving the flag of whatever cause just to make a quick dollar, it doesn't matter. Within any large group you will have people obscure the good with their own actions, and it's a shame that that is honestly a fact of life. A good person should not have to answer for the crimes of someone else.

The over all message of Gamergate is that censorship because someone doesn't like the message is bad, that journalists need to be help accountable when they screw up, and facts are facts and opinions are opinions and one should not be pushed over the other.

The over all message of Social Justice Warriors if that diversity is good, that there is a serious lack of representation of various groups in nearly all walks of life, and people's opinions need to be considered.

Both groups have individuals within each that are responsible for a lot of the same harassment. Doxing, brigading, silencing, threatening, and outright destroying of careers. These individuals should not taint the overall agreed upon message. Diversity IS a good thing but so is journalists being held accountable for their actions. People's opinions do matter but opinions are not facts, opinions are made up based on facts.

Now, there is a third group in all of this: Trolls. People that play both sides or distort the message of one side, taking things way too far. These people should not be confused for either group. These are people that don't care either way and just want to see things go to hell because they get some thrill seeing things burn. And these people are something both sides should actively look for and either get under control or bring to light. At the end of the day you need to police your own. Because if you don't, your message gets tainted. Your entire group looks bad because a small portion want to take things too far.
