tl;dr Gamergate hangout based on free speech rather than moderator interference.
If you recall the olden days of Gamergate in 2014 you'll remember that a whole bunch of journalists were found in bed with each other (literally and figuratively) and breaching just about every law of journalistic ethics out there. We weren't happy and long story short a bunch of advertisers pulled out, Gawker was destroyed (not our doing but fun to watch), and the FTC put in improved ethical regulations.
Since then it spiralled out to a more general anti-censorship, pro-journalistic-ethics group back on reddit under the name KotakuInAction, and kept on there for a little while.
However after a while the mods fucked up. They started censoring more and more, and started getting under the users' skin. This came to a head when they proposed a rule change on "off-topic" posts. They presented a poll to the userbase, and the users overwhelmingly (90%+ IIRC) voted to not increase posting restrictions. The mods' response was a simple "fuck you we're doing it anyway" and so most of the active users left to go to KotakuInAction2 on reddit. Then of course there was the T_D purge and the start of win communities and here we are.
and on Side, T_D was first disabled from reaching front page, then it was quarantined and around this point mods of T_D started .win project; then came mod change shenanigans and community pretty much said fuck this and went to new donald.win; then reddit deleted T_D and all users had already migrated; in -win though another shenanigans happened and mod that had owned donald.win registry went silenced, and mods changed domain into patriots.win to avoid further shenanigans

That clip left me with far more questions than answers. Is that white guy Casey drunk or does he have big balls and know exactly what he's doing?
I will continue to try and understand this.
We just wanted to play games, they forced us into a war we never wanted
It’s a Singaporean gay pride .win taken over by delinquents, degenerates, and denigrators.
No, just our faggot mods
a place for frens to meet and talk.
An excellent alternative to omegacanada.win
It's just this place, you know?
