Canadian Prime Minister Says Country Needs To Stand Against Movements Like GamerGate

2015-10-20T043841Z_1462624475_TB3EBAK0CW764_RTRMADP_3_CANADA-ELECTIONThis is always a ticking time bomb, so lets just get to the facts.

Newly Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said in an interview with The Star (via MCV), that he considers himself a feminist and that the country needs to stand up against misogyny in pop culture. In the interview, he even called out GamerGate specifically, saying:

I am a feminist. Proud to be a feminist. My mom raised me to be a feminist. My father raised me, he was a different generation but he raised me to respect and defend everyone's rights, and I deeply grounded my own identity in that, and I am proud to say that I am a feminist.

The things we see online, whether it is issues like Gamergate or video games misogyny in popular culture, it is something that we need to stand clearly against.

It is somewhat insane that GamerGate has been able to get to these kinds of levels of notoriety, but I do genuinely believe these to be important issues, so talking about them at this level should be a good thing.
