A reference to the GamerGate movement has been discovered in Rocksteady Studio's Batman: Arkham Knight. A file on the Dark Knight's Batcomputer references what is called "#CrusaderGate", a "disastrous social media campaign" started by The Riddler.I think this should serve as a vital wakeup call letting everyone know that even merchandise based on DC books isn't immune to the leftist politics now governing them. That Intl. Business Times article is also pretty hostile to the GamerGate campaign, and they don't seem concerned how injecting these issues into the program so blatantly can alienate some customers for the computer games.
Because if we're going to try and stop the misuse of our favorite comics and their protagonists by the companies that write and publish them, we've got to see what both the printed and online comics news is doing wrong. This blog focuses on both the good and the bad, the newspaper media and the online websites. Unabashedly. Unapologetically. Scanning the media for what's being done right and what's being done wrong.

Arkham Knight computer game attacks GamerGate
It looks like DC approved of making a game based on Batman that features an attack on GamerGate:
I don't suppose that there is anything resembling Watergate/Gamergate for television or books?
