Gamergate is "a controversy in video game culture which began in August 2014. It concerns ingrained issues of sexism and misogyny in the gaming community, as well as journalistic ethics in the online gaming press, particularly conflicts of interest between video game journalists and developers."(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamergate_controversy)

I found it interesting and post worthy because video game is one of the cultural artifacts of this period and generation and the way that women and african americans are portrayed in video games are very limited and biased.
With the rising interest in the gaming industry, this controversy is worth looking into.
