Sensationalism

About

His article "Teenage boys want less sex in games" quotes a discredited survey. The survey’s numerous flaws include: no peer review, very loaded questions, and being taken exclusively over social media with no way to check if the sample truly consisted of the projected demographic of teens (who couldn’t take the survey without adult consent anyway). The survey’s author, too, partially backpedaled on it and admitted it had no claim of academic legitimacy, its only goal having been to start a discussion. Furthermore, Kamen does not note that the survey was explicitly exploratory, and even implies that it had a four-year gestation.

About

San Francisco based tech magazine, with a print and online edition that curiously were purchased separately by Condé Nast, so that the print magazine and website had different owners from 1998 to 2006.

GamerGate info

Much like its sister site Ars Techinca, it has a strongly anti-GamerGate stance.
