This is a pretty great PR victory. It cost them nothing and showed the malevolence on the other side. I don't often like what conservatives do, or rather their constant inaction, but this was pretty neat.
I feel like the conservatives have done many stunts like this in the past, with that intended effect, but look at where we are today.
Gamergate did the exact same thing; Funded http://www.thefineyoungcapitalists.com/ to prove they weren't sexist and weren't trying to force women out of gaming.
Did it help one bit? No. Not a damn, not one iota. GG still got smeared as a sexist reactionary attempt to push women out of game development. The left set the narrative, and absolutely nothing we said or did changed it one teeny tiny bit. They exerted complete and total control of the public narrative from day one, and they still have it.
/u/AntoniOfVenice and anyone who thinks they they can win a 'PR victory' still has the wool pulled over their eyes. This is NOT high school debate team. The left has set the rules and the rules are whoever can do the most bullying, harassment and and intimidation WINS.
It's pure Alinsky: That which they accused us of doing, is THEIR GAMEPLAN. That which we went out of our way to avoid doing, is what we SHOULD have been doing.
Forget the old strategy. It's slow SUICIDE.
DO WHAT THEY DO, instead of DOING AS THEY TELL YOU.
