What's hilarious about this whole thing is that I have no idea which "side" you are on by your comment. I've seen this exact sentiment expressed about SXSW's decision on both /r/KiA and /r/GamerGhazi.
Haha. But really, it's hard for that group to claim to be the silent, persecuted majority when nearly every major figure in the industry who has spoken about it and nearly every news outlet that has covered it has completely condemned it. The "movement" has even been placeholder villains on Law and Order SVU, and if that isn't the gold standard for general cultural sentiment, I don't know what is.
I was going to downvote you for just copy and pasting then I realized you were right. The other side could easily misconstrue things and paint my side that way.
I'm not convinced about the reverse, but that may be because I'm on my side. People can go pretty far to rationalize things.
