This is the Guardian.
Ten years ago, misogyny in gaming reached new heights with Gamergate.
And I think the simple fact of.
The matter for me is I love.
Games more than they hate me.
A decade on, what does the gaming industry look like now?
You're listening to pop culture with me, Shantae Joseph for the Guardian.
Growing up, I absolutely loved gaming.
My dad and my mom both loved gaming.
And I remember I used to pretend to be sick so I could stay home from church and play Guitar Hero on my Nintendo Wii.
And my brother recently gave me his Nintendo Switch and it completely sucked me in as if I had been playing games all this time.
I could probably speak.
Spend two weeks isolated at home playing Breath of the Wild.
I'm so scared.
How do you adult and play games at the same time?
This is actually a cry for help.
As much as I'm enjoying getting back into gaming, I cannot ignore the less desirable side of this community.
2014 was the year of Gamergate.
It was an online harassment campaign and a right wing backlash against female journalists and developers in the gaming industry.
And their crime?
