Tons of senior editors, managing editors, regular editors as well as writers aplenty with so much crossover with the list of sites making "gamer's dead" articles.
Associated Press, CNBC, USA Today, VICE, VentureBeat, CNet, Editors-in-chief at polygon, Destructoid, Joystiq and Honest games. See link for full list. You're welcome.

>They never said gamers were dead because they're misogynist.
That's exactly why they did, though. Look at the dates. They're talking about all this Aug 19 and on. Aug 28 they (the people in the mailing list) all just happen to all say the exact same thing in the exact same way? Sure, it's possible, but so is getting struck by lighting twice in your home. So yeah, it was a reaction, but not at the individual level. These peoples' bosses told them to write this because they all agreed to turn the argument into "gamers are eeeeebil m'sogonists".
So what, exactly, is your point? All you've done is naysay without much actual contribution.
>a "strawman"
Lol. It isn't, you just wish it was. What I said has been seriously espoused by the people in question.
Me: this retarded otherkin, furry, muslindu, poor-me, frikkin, whatever-you-want-to-call-it crap.
>>71890 "Laughing at the mentally ill and handicapped is the classiest form of comedy, I think." (and >>71896). And the people that do support the (for lack of a better term) "SJW" community do support exactly these things. They feel persecuted and some of them are almost certainly furries. I do admit, I made up the "muslindu" word not as a point, but because it is the kind of nonsensical classification that many such mentally ill people apply to themselves. So yeah, I didn't pull all that from thin air, it was there already.
>People have been saying similar things for years.
Sure, maybe, but how many over those years? 14+ per day? No. If it were spaced out naturally (months for this amount), it might just be coincidence. But the timing (mailing list convo start time) combined with the quantity and the similarity of language all make it so astronomically unlikely that the possibility of coincidence can be safely dismissed.
>discuss how to present articles in the best way?
That's the problem, they weren't talking about how to discuss games in the best way, they were talking about presenting their social agenda in the strongest way.
