GG did work and it worked without the glowy anti semitism. That’s why it lives in their heads rent free. I have no interest in any form of identity politics and believe those bringing it into KiA should be laughed out.
Look around. You think GG worked? GG fucking lost hard.
It was a Pyrrhic victory but still a victory. No one until GG stood up to them. If it was a hard loss GG would not be the monster under the bed for them like it is. I don’t think a month has gone by over the past 6 years where some leftist outlet has not brought up GG. If you embrace identity politics and just blame another group for the worlds problems you are no different than them, and you are going to recruit way fewer people.
Yes, I'm sure GG would have worked much better if a bunch of gamers had been screaming about the need to gatekeep jews out of gaming. That would definitely have accomplished everything.
Where is the line drawn between poor tactics and accurate analysis of the problem?
At identity politics.
Go back to half KIA on reddit then. That's where you belong if you're not yet ready to grapple with horrifying realities.
Nah, I’m smart enough to know that identity politics is identity politics and I’m not going to embrace one to fight another.
Enjoy your continued losses and don't let the door hit you on the way out.
What continued losses? I’m not going anywhere.
Good point. I wasn't attuned to gaming journalism to catch on to Gamergate when it was new, but since I hang around here I've educated myself on it.
I think it's the same type opportunity there is with this whole GameStop stock debacle. It's not necessarily about telling them what to think (also leftist tactic) or forcing them to all agree. It's more to help more people come to the realization that what's being presented to them is a grandiose facade and they need to look for the man behind the curtain.
I’m not for telling people how to think either nor for all to agree on everything. But I’m going to point out this is sjw bull shit when they point to the man behind the curtain is people of “x ancestry”. It’s not correct and it is not helpful in anyway. It does not help with combating censorship. It does not help combating corruption in journalism, entertainment, or places of political power. What it does is give the far left something to point at as an example to dismiss arguments and press those who do businesses with us to cut ties and deplatform. It scares off normies. It’s identity politics minus the hammer and sickles and it’s a dumb take.
Yeah exactly. I was actually thinking along the lines of someone realizing they've been lied to about <insert lie> here, so then question other lies, and example could be the rhetoric that the world's problems are all white, black, Jews, Muslims or whoever's fault. Doesn't mean all those groups are perfect by any means, but I see it as destructive to use them as the evil scapegoat.
Which if I understand right was the whole outcome of Gamergate, it opened eyes.
