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.
Sadly it seems the organizers of South by Southwest haven't figured that out.
They accepted a panel about solutions in regards to online harassment the normal way. And then a second panel appeared late in the process and was approved last minute, crafted in the open at the main gamergate subreddit pushing the false ethics angle. And today cancelled both due to the threats the venue was getting.
Unfortunately this result is yet again letting the silencing effect of these few core people take hold.
