[quote name="Lizard_King"]Watergate was a real scandal that was interpreted more or less correctly by people who were scandalized by it. Benghazi had components of an important issue, but the scandal was opportunistic nonsense interpreted in wildly inaccurate ways by people who were scandalized by it. Gamergate is not an accurate name for the movement of harassers, stalkers, and their useful idiots, as it struggles to deliver poorly framed arguments about journalistic ethics amid efforts to imitate what being oppressed kind of maybe sounds like, all the while bursting at the seams with the angry, obvious dysfunction and hatred of women which characterizes the internet's recreational misogyny elements. Thus, it has far more in common with the shallow, cynical, and dangerous maneuvers around Benghazi by American conservatives and their fellow travelers than with legitimate outrage around Watergate.
