Their editor was one of the ringleaders of a secret mailing list trying to push narratives and coordinated hits during GG.

Other websites editors onboard were verge, kotaku, ars technica, destructoid, etc.
It's why you saw near identical headlines and articles coming out on the same day across all those sites.

That and they're literally trash.

Polgyons defence article on their editor and writers being in the mailing list:

Destructoid editor quit after the reveal:

Example of mailing list in action the week of "gamers are dead":

Spoiler: show

Legitimately I can't see that as an evidence of malpractice. The GamerGate controvosy blew up in August 2014 and like controversy that happened it'll get reported on and will likely have the same relevant details (Unless an outlet like the aforementioned polygon leaves out big bits like unfair word policing in the Discord v r/ffxiv drama happening right now. YIKES) with mixed opinions. Then it resurfaced again in October that year when shit hit the fan again.

Like you're assuming that these guys don't talk to other people in the same industry and don't get mad because they're literally starting campaigns to starve them of revenue.

they triggered the 'social justice is a pejorative' crowd during Gamergate and the same crowd gets regularly outraged they regularly talk about gender, race, and politics in gaming.

Imagine thinking gamergate was good or important

I don't know about good or important, but a lot of these video game "journalism" sites all updated their disclosure policies/ethics codes as a result of the fallout.

Terrible people on both sides etc.

Don't worry give it a day or two and Polygon will have an article covering this and how gamers are to blame.

White duder in Ohio gets "cut off" by a black duder, follows the black duder home and starts lecturing him on how much of a N- he is. Black duder explains traffic laws while white duder continues to be from Ohio. Standard racism, whatever. However, white duder is a state contractor, in his work van, which has his license number and phone number on it. Again, standard racism, duder probably will release some super sorry apology and lose some business but ultimately recover...

...

Except still no because he went full Ohio. They sent a reporter out to talk to him. He claimed that it's the language he grew up with and that it's not a big deal to him. Reporter replies "It was a big deal to the man you said it to" "Well so was getting cut off". He said this to the reporter. The reporter was also black.

Never go full Ohio.

For all the shit your job puts you through, I'll guarantee it'd be worse here.
