Can someone, as concisely as possible, explain to me the issue that GG is attempting to correct, what methods they're using, and whether it has yielded any results? I've seen tons of journalist articles brushing GG aside as 4chan trying to cyber-rape Zoe Quinn, and I've seen tons of forum posts about journalists brushing GG aside as 4chan trying to cyber-rape Zoe Quinn, but I haven't seen a single thing about forward progress or even a defined goal.

It's not about 4chan and cyber raping Zoe Quinn....what ever that means.Its about better ethical standards in the gaming press and less nepotism between the press and the industry they cover. If you could be bothered sit through some of it I'd look up some of Total Biscuit's work to get a better picture on the situation. Or have a long read here. The problem is most of the information requires a lot of time and effort to get sorted through at this point, and its far easier just to label everyone sexist than find out the facts.
here's hoping that TB rips them a new one.
