| Topic | Gamergate was almost a decade ago. |
| MarcyWarcy 03/06/23 10:45:23 PM #66: | Gamergate was about other things than feminists and politics in short brief bursts, because people would join in thinking they actually cared about anything regarding journalism or business ethics or whatever, then read the room and see 95% of the people around them were yelling about gender politics or minorities or whatever and then either leave or get radicalized. In the long term, it was always about getting mad at social justice in the guise of it being an ethics issue. It's not hard to see. You can go to kotakuinaction and see pages and pages about having to see black people in stuff, or you can pop by youtube and see that a lot of the people that got big with gamergate who still make videos have moved onto other media to be culture warriors about. I personally knew multiple people, including a really close friend IRL, that were radicalized by that shit at the time. Some of them turned into pizzagaters, others just run of the mill weird bigot people. --- Looks like this gamer's paradise has turned into a gamer's hell............................................... ...
