It's the JOB of the media to hold these companies accountable and to be transparent when they cooperate with these kinds of things. When the media does its job properly, as in this instance, you don't need Gamergate to do anything.

The fault in your reasoning lies in that you're expecting Gamergate to take over the job of these news outlets and to do their work for them. ABSOLUTELY NOT. Gamergate will continue to scrutinize the media for wrongdoing, and point them out when they abandon their responsibilities.

That's why the real problems should be addressed, rather than the character of the messenger. If the KKK came out against NSA wiretapping on the grounds that civil liberties are being violated, would you say "wiretapping isn't an issue, this is the KKK we're talking about", or would you say "despite my abhorrence of the KKK, their argument has merit on this issue"?

Gaming is a 90 billion dollar industry. 90 BILLION DOLLARS. It's no insignificant issue. And if you are glad to keep the corrupt locked away from important duties, why not have them locked away in McDonalds cook lines rather than in these position of influence?

There is also another common counter to gamergate, which is thinking that wrongdoing by elements of the whole discredits the whole. This reasoning raises the question: Did you immediately dismiss Occupy Wall Street because of the smashed windows?

Assholes will seek the most vulnerable spot to attack. Gender, race, weight, height, income, eyewear, genital size, hair, clothing, choice of snacks, and so on. If you're sensitive/insecure about any of them, that's blood in the water, and they will go after it. Surely they don't let everything else slide, and just wait for the opportunities to pounce on someone because of gender.

Years later, Oog's village was conquered by the agricultural civilization nearby. Oog became a slave charged with breeding heartier cattle, and his wife bore the children of others.

I'm willing to bet that compared to traditional taxi customers, far more Uber customers would have smartphones with GPS in hand, meaning a much higher risk of being caught by police. You would have better odds painting your car, masquerading as a traditional taxi, and picking out old people to rob.

Perhaps women have the luxury and privilege of not losing attractiveness when working low-paying jobs. Perhaps men are the victims of a society that forces them to over-work and be over-competitive because women ultimately select whose genes are passed on and whose are not. Perhaps this competitiveness is why men will take on more hard jobs, fight for more raises, and suffer the abuses.

Is female materialism driving men into high wage jobs? Maybe there should be a federal law to address this...

So, basically, because personal computers made CS more accessible, and men took advantage of this access in greater numbers than women which resulted in the imbalance we see today, it is therefore the fault of personal computers that this imbalance exists.

It gets image macros from 4chan and still can't decide on what the irony tag is for. Fark has long become a shadow of its former self. The left leaning political correct mob has been in control for many years now -- even being a consistent critic of public officials on both sides of the political aisle gets you into trouble because in those times when you do write anything critical of a left leaning politician, you get 10 replies of people knocking down strawmen and breathlessly posting whataboutisms.

Me neither. It's just a white background with pastel hues. XiaoMi isn't doing anything out of the ordinary when it comes to "borrowing ideas".

Private use is different. Parent anon is talking about proper licensing, with future access to Google's code base at stake. Official releases by XioaMi has not and will continue to not have Play Store access in compliance with Google's terms. That's probably fine for them, since most of China don't use the Play Store anyway.
