GamerGate is mentioned in passing in this Glee reminiscence recently posted on Instapundit, which I then reposted on the Ace of Spades HQ comm on Gab (we're a pretty chill group, if you're on Gab, maybe join us):
When the social history of a fandom reads like "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich." I haven't read anything like this since the story of MsScribe in the HP fandom.
By the way, if fandom horror stories are to your liking, I heartily recommend reading the novella-length Story of MsScribe. When the preface/intro were originally published, it quickly reached 80+ pages of comments. It all went down in 2001–03 and was exposed in 2006.
You want to know why I don't care about a little net.drama around Tim Pool or the Quartering? Because I know what real #toxicity looks like, especially when wrapped in #feminism, and there it all is!
Glee was definitely an inflection point. I remember being very confused as to why this supremely gay show was so popular. Turns out a huge portion of the population is mentally ill.
