Why Are You So Angry?

I'm a pretty big fan of the work done by Ian Danskin (@InnuendoStudios). His "This is Phil Fish" video is fantastic and thought provoking. So I was happy to see some new content from him this past week. It turns out he's been hard at work on a series talking about GamerGate.

It seems to me that exposure to other ideas and points of view are essential to self development. Not everyone gets perspective on the inherent privileges they have. Heck, I'm sure I don't properly have perspective on mine. So I'm very happy videos like this are getting made, and I hope as many people as possible watch and think about them.
