It is no secret that there is a good amount of fornication between white guys and Asian women these days, and there are no signs of this trend slowing down. It's hard to go out in a large American city nowadays and not see a white guy holding hands with an Asian girl. It's even getting to the point where people aren't surprised anymore if you tell them your girl is Asian, as if it's almost slightly expected.

GamerGate is an internet movement that is attempting to clean up corruption and favoritism in gaming journalism on sites like Kotaku, Polygon, Rock Paper Shotgun, Gamasutra, and numerous others that have been pushing an extremist SJW agenda instead of reviewing games fairly.
