An article appeared on Forbes.com this week. The headline was 'TotalBiscuit's Legacy And The Collateral Damage of GamerGate.' We have discussed ethics in various areas of pop culture and science. Ethics in journalism-gaming journalism specifically, has been a volatile topic in the recent past. The mere mention of GamerGate in any context can be damning to one's reputation. The article in question this week calls attention to all of these topics-ethics in gaming journalism, TotalBiscuit's legacy, and GamerGate, in ways that both of us at The Outliers take issue with. Short and and sweet this week. And no, we're not defending GamerGate in any way, shape or form.
