Episode 31: Gamergate (Featuring Walt McGough)

This week, we're thrilled to have special guest Walt McGough with us to investigate a deeply un-special topic, Gamergate. A truly horrifying slice of recent internet history, Gamergate describes a string of targeted abuse leveled at people (mainly women, nonbinary folks, and POC) who dared to challenge the glaringly obvious veins of sexism running through the games industry. We cover figures such as Zoe Quinn, Brianna Wu, and Anita Sarkeesian, who endured levels of bullshit we can barely fathom to speak their minds.
