gamergate is such a crock of shit.

from what i can tell, games journalists and game developers got exposed for fake reviews, some paid off with money, others even trading sexual favors and literal prostitutes for positive press. and when it got exposed, the games journalists didn't want their racket shut down, so they just started screeching that anyone who didn't bow down to them is racist, misogynist, homophobic, antisemitic, etc.

then to take an even weirder turn, some trannies spent a shitload of time rounding up the troon brigade to run massive wikipedia editing wars to retcon it into some huge harassment movement over a bad breakup. gaming journalists realized they were losing in the court of public opinion, so they flipped the entire narrative over to this.

which is no surprise that kotaku wrote this, because amber heard and her crimes against johnny depp have nothing to do with any fake reviews or tranny breakups... it's just more smokescreen from the basic facts.
