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.
