Beginning in late 2014, harassment of female game developers became a trend on social media sites such as twitter. Those harassing prevalent female developers were calling the ethics in gaming journalism into question. Specifically in regards to a relationship between developer Zoe Quinn and gaming journalist Nathan Grayson. Many believe the review Grayson wrote regarding Quinn's work was biased due to their personal relationship. Others believe their relationship had no bearing in the review and that this incident was falsified to create an excuse to harass women in the gaming industry. Regardless, a large majority of the blame is being put on these female developers, while very few fingers are pointed at the actual journalists.
I like where you were going with this blog post! It does seem to end a little early. However, I can see the point your trying to get across. Also, its good to see you used a credible source such as Newsweek. I am now personally interested in this issue between the Quinn and Grayson and will probably go look up more information right now! Good post!
