I'm starting to think that game journalists still can't comprehend that the reasons gamergate happened are still there.
I mean, they've called us all racists over and over and over, doesn't that mean they're supposed to have won by now?
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.
This is a deeply ironic comment lol
