Great points. I got so sick of gaming reviews that weren’t about the game or was some lecture about how evil we were.

The game journalists either purposefully don't get it and are doing it for the money (literally: "I get to stay at home and write stuff and I get like a 50k a year salary? Oh wow, idc, I'll do it) or they're just activists.

Activists almost never change their mind. The government could barge into their house, put their boot on their head and they'd go "Oh, this is a mistake, I'm one of the good guys, I'm not even angry, probably just some mistake."

We don't change those people's minds about who's racist or not. We culturally bottle them up, the same way people in Europe spent decades with that black sheep uncle or grand father or aunt who was super-pro Nazi in WW2, or was one, or was just very anti-Semitic, etc. It's not something we talk about now, but it was a trope for decades because so many families had one. Same thing is likely to happen here, no one's going to want Uncle Bob at the wedding because he's probably going to start bitching about how jews became white folk or some crazy shit.

Tbh, gamergate has won somewhat. Nowadays on videos, the video people have to clearly state that something is a paid advertisement, rather than just "imho raid is a great game"
