The mistake was saying she slept around to get positive press, which was incorrect. She actually slept around to get everything. Press for her game was just one of many things she purchased via cooch.

There was no mistake. Within a few days of the full "gamers are dead" onslaught nobody gave two shits about her. Nathan Greyson was the target because he was the ethics breaching journo in their bed.

The narrative that anyone actually gave a shit about her beyond "wow she is a piece of shit" and shitposting was AGGs and her own. Which they managed to successfully even convince GG was true by shoving her into the conversation every month.

I'm still convinced someone diabolical - possibly someone with billions in political donations - deliberately caused this to blow up like it did.

Everyone knew "game journalism" was just ads for the game. Normally everyone would have said "wow I knew what shitty people" and moved onto something else a month later.

Maybe, but I think it was just a perfect storm of EXTREMELY VISIBLE events that all happened too close together so much that a lot of normies caught on.

That's why the beginning of GG was filled with "the good Liberals" and people who thought things like trannies and feminism were fine, it was just a few bad eggs. Its why KIA1 is still a joke of a hugbox talking about generic hobby stuff with a small bent instead of anything of merit.

The funniest thing was, that there was no 100% concrete evidence that she had slept with Grayson to get the positive coverage for her game.

People were told that they had slept together, and we knew that he had given her game positive coverage. But that's it. It was the fact that people turned to Grayson and simply asked him: "Hey, what's up with this? Can you elaborate?" and his (covert) reaction that kicked off the whole thing.

It's almost never the crime that gets people in trouble and almost always the cover up that does them in.

Unconstrained by society, this is a woman’s biological instinct. Yeah it’s unhealthy for society but women run things so here we are
