But what did they accomplish?? Were journalists or editors fired? Were publications forced to shut down? What long term consequences are we celebrating on the "third anniversary"...some lame Patreon site was exposed?

They created an association in the public mind between being playing computer games or being a bit geeky and being a misogynist with a deep fear of women. Not entirely sure that was helpful to anyone.

Lulz, now developers are just rubbing it in your faces...Or is PCGamer just making shit up to troll GG??? Ethics now!!The real-life 1st Russian Women's Battalion of Death, as noted by Wikipedia, was one of several all-female Russian units formed in the wake of the February Revolution that saw the overthrow of Tsar Nicholas II, the last Emperor of Russia. They were initially created for propaganda purposes, but the 1st Battalion saw action during the Kerensky Offensive that took place in the summer of 1917.
When the attack began, the women went over the top while the men held back; they pushed well into German territory, but were forced to withdraw when relief forces failed to arrive. Later that year the unit was withdrawn from combat by the Bolshevik government and ultimately disbanded "as a result of increasing hostility from male troops who resented female volunteers for preventing them from retreating many times over."
But c'mon, is that even historically accurate??

I've hosted plenty of GamerGate meetups in Saint Louis before and can confirm we've got some killer ladies in the Saint Louis area. If you think you are fighting for women by assuming that all women must automatically agree with you, then you're the sexist.
what do you guys do at gamergate meetings--defend ethics in gaming journalism?
