Chait’s article does not mention Gamergate, and there’s no reason to believe that he’s anything other than appalled at online harassment. Likewise, Sullivan did not use the phrase “politically correct.” But their arguments are fundamentally the same: that marginalized people’s demands for inclusion are just a bunch of annoying whining, and that efforts to address their concerns are unnecessary. They also betray the deeper concern: that listening to the demands of marginalized groups is dangerous, because doing so could potentially burden the lives, or at least change the speech, of more privileged people. And you know what? They’re probably right.
