Outlets such as CNN, The Washington Post, Business Insider, Bloomberg, Forbes and New Statesman have lined up to decry its actions in the last 48 hours.

The New York Times even placed the issue on the front page of today’s paper edition, as well as covering it online. Meanwhile, others such as the BBC and The Guardiancontinue to criticise the attacks perpetrated by #GamerGate’s supporters.

Hell, even The Daily Mail has labelled the movement as a “sexism scandal”.
