WHY #GAMERGATE MATTERS: As one who is completely outside the gaming community, I'm not terribly interested in the 'scandal' itself, but I did find this Instapundit comment interesting:

The “social justice warrior” crowd isn’t about social justice. It’s about using race-and-gender talk to keep people in their place. In exchange for this, they get to cement their position on one of the lower rungs of the New Class.

'Social justice' is little more than moral preening.
