6. The thing is, their "facts" usually aren't facts.

Calling gaming journalists "corrupt," slandering Zoe Quinn and Brianna Wu, and most of the stuff they say about Anita Sarkessian - they're all opinions. They have no place on Wikipedia. Even the Zoe Quinn story itself is hearsay. It should not be reported directly as fact.

In my personal opinion, what's going on here is an editing war, where two sides are trying to exert influence on Wikipedia. This is not what Wikipedia is for. There shouldn't even be a "debate" on Wikipedia. That's why contributors are banned.

I think gamergaters are morons, and I support the Feminist side of the argument 100%. However, my opinion has no place on Wikipedia, which is supposed to be an encyclopedia. I would not contribute to a gamer gate article, as I cannot be objective.
