Maybe the real GamerGate was the nothing that Kotaku learnt from it

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.
You're entirely right. Good write up.
Emphasis on the journalists trying to run cover and make articles flipping the narrative completely backfiring on them. Gamergate is a victory, some people think they won but don't realize how bad game journalists' reputation were hit, including some fired, that to this day it is an insult to be called a "gaming journalist".
Just because the rags that survived pretend nothing happened, and cucked sources like Wikipedia (which is also a website whose reputation was permanently scarred by this) cover it up doesn't mean everyone doesn't know the truth. Look at any popular account like SomeOrdinaryGamers talking about GamerGate, everyone knows the truth.
Exactly this, the gamers are dead articles made me realize to them I was racist/sexist/nazi just by living and breathing, meanwhile actual piece of shit ZQ and I'm told to mind my own business. Never trust mainstream culture again.
