Strangely enough, a course similar to this redpilled me a bit further. I was already a center right conservative but I was taking a master's course in 2015 that went into gamer gate.
Looking back, most of the gg section was bullshit (ie gamers are dead, your princess is in another castle, Anita at the UN), but there were a couple of studies that were surprisingly fairly unbiased. One of the articles mentioned Sargon of Akkad and Milo Yiannopoulos and how their claims about Anita Sarkesian using her victimhood platform to rake in donations was essentially true. It was weird to see the name Sargon of Akkad cited in a scholarly article so I looked him up. After that I was hooked and kept learning more about gg.

That course actually kind of changed my life.
