11. Paul Elam is a nobody who tried to attach himself to Gamer Gate because nobody cares about him.

I find the whole Gamer Gate controversy ridiculous. The term was coined by Stephen Baldwin (it probably wasn't, but he just took credit for it) and started from hearsay by an angry ex-boyfriend. Part of the problem also lies with people on the other side (Tumblr, etc.) acting like Gamer Gate is actually relevant. Basically, both sides are 'social justice warriors' who act like they're fighting for something that actually matters.

Paul Elam is in the same group, and he's an annoying moron. I have no idea who Amanda Marcotte is.
