All I remember about GamerGate is, it inspired Hotweels to create 8chan. Which I thought was kinda weird, and I thought whatever, I guess it's cool that it created this cool new website. I didn't give a single fuck about GamerGate because I thought game reviews and SJWs were retarded.
But now I guess I gotta know what went down, because it managed to fuck up the entire planet. So can someone give me an explanation of what happened? Obviously Googling it is gonna give me heavily biased information so.....
For decades, a new elite had been gradually acquiring positions of power and influence in every institution from government to education to large corporations including game developers and media outlets, all united around a social project aimed at subverting, demoralizing and destroying Western culture and the very idea individualism, meritocracy and social mobility. They coordinate their actions through corruption and influence peddling and the propagation of carefully-crafted narratives designed to manipulate you emotionally and wear down your resistance, all whilst isolating themselves from the social consequences of their destructive behavior.
Some gamers unwittingly kicked a hornet's nest when they identified a very small symptom of this disease and actually managed to do some damage, forcing the people who rule over you to take the mask off and reveal just how much they hate you.
