Almost No One Sided with #GamerGate: A Research Paper on the Internet’s Reaction to Last Year’s Mob

Over in the Best Videos thread, Dignan asked for some resources summarizing the online menace known as Gamergate. I found this report that came across my feeds today to be a very through treatment of the issue, and though the primary focus is about media coverage and public support for the movement, it does link to a fair number of "explainer" type articles that attempted to summarize the issue at a higher level, as well as some more detailed pieces analyzing specific aspects of the movement, insofar as it could be called a "movement" at all at this point.

One can nitpick specific aspects of the methodology used to estimate #GG's support, but it does seem that a vast majority of folks who paid any attention at all eventually figured out that it had very little to do with ethics in game journalism.
