They may be idiots but they are not completely wrong, gamergate did start the trend of distrusting journalists and the media in general. Politics was one thing but I still remember how shocking it was to realize how unethical and manipulative game journalists really were, entertainment was designed to manipulate in a very radical way and gamergate exposed it.
Now it is out in the open and is harder to get manipulated, more people are pointing out the hypocrisy of journalists and how unethical they really are. Depp vs Heard was very similar. Was a non-political event that was covered in the most biased mod possible by the media do to identity politics.
It's almost like Gamergate won.
Hoes mad xInfinity.
Maybe we need to examine why they can’t shut up about gg. But for me it marks a sad moment in my beloved hobby of gaming
I don't know why people still talk about "gamergate". It was just a little blowup in a niche community over a fat ugly whore, whoring herself out for "reviews" of a non-game she didn't really work on.
All the dudes rights called her a whore and a slut, and all sorts of libtard wokes tried to act like men aren't allowed to slut shame slutwhore roasties anymore.
All the major video game developers have been taken over by wokes. The consumer base for video games continues to be far more right wing and male than the libtard media wagies and developers, and this ends up reflected in the user review of libtarded woke games being low.
Men who play video games don't want to be lectured about left wing politics, but lib woketards have a fetish for not letting anyone get away from their obnoxiousness.
Over the longer term, as CAPITALISM PROVIDES, the woketards will get chased out of the video game industry by capitalists who actually want to maximize sales.
Was not just that, it showed how entertainment media was corrupt. Now it seems like what ever because we are used to journalists being hacks but back then it was not. Don't get me wrong, on politics I doubt anyone thought journalists were unbiased but in entertainment it was a different story. It was even worse because entertainment manipulates more subtle then politics.
Gamergate changed the landscape and made it a lot harder for activist journalists to do their job. They rage against it because it hurt them and they've been smearing gg ever since but the damage was already done and there is no going back for them.
Lots of people started using alternative talking heads during Gamergate, this gave notoriety to some alternative media figures, like Carl Benjamin, who then pushed others to the forefront.
The meme culture of Gamergate also showed up in the circles that pushed for Trump to be elected, so it isn't entirely a lie when people say "we got Trump becuase of GG".
Dismissing Gamergate as some none-happening is a pretty bad take. It did have a massive impact on social media and continues to do so. It's what made memeing against the system cool and what made quite a few of "our guys" big in the alternative media scene.
You're mixing things up. Quinnspiracy was the movement against the "Fat whore".
Gamergate was the backlash against journalists backlash against Quinnspiracy.
Look up ESG. You're just wrong here. Woke is capital now. If you think consumers have a say in this woke shit anymore, you've missed the boat.
Look at what happened to Activision. This won't happen until you either limit the power that kind of attack has, or expose and arrest those doing it on racketeering charges.
