Twitter used to support free speech. "But then came GamerGate, the brutal 2014 campaign against women in the video game industry." (archive.ph)

Amid the wider turmoil since his takeover last month, Musk has moved rapidly to undermine Twitter’s deliberative content-moderation system.

Are you saying twitter deliberately violated its own policies by not banning content such as “All I want for Christmas is White Genocide”? Sounds like grounds for a racial discrimination lawsuit.

Nobody ever shows them the evidence of their blatant hypocrisy?

Ah yes pointing out that a woman was trading sexual favors for preferred coverage was a bad thing.

"Everything was peaceful between the pronouns on Twitter, but then the gamers attacked! They surged through with facts over feelings and mass triggering everyone while saying they did our moms

Only the CEO could ban them all, but after 5 years of doing what we asked, he pissed off

Now a billionaire is in charge.....he told he doesn't care and unbanned them all so now we're fucked"

Keep repeating the lie journos, eventually people with brain cells will believe you like your lemmings do.

brutal

Is this their new favorite word to make meaningless?

I've seen it used to refer to completely non-brutal things twice this week.

It's the same thing they do with "violence". These people have never experienced these things so they have no sense of perspective.

Can anyone recommend a legit video that explains gamer gate? I’m sick of how gamers have been demonized so much because of this.

I like how the article mentions Felicia Day.

The woman only gained prominence because she wasn't horrible looking, and because her content was appealing to gamers and nerds. And then she went and called her fans sexist. Way to shit all over your target audience. I'm not surprised that I've basically heard nothing about her since then.

Hating your own customers: A winning strategy since 2014!

But to be fair, Felicia herself warned her customer-base: In the music video that basically made her (semi-)famous, about wearing fetishy outfits and being sexualized for the pleasure of gamers, she outright clarifies: "Do you want to date my avatar? She's a star, and she's hotter than reality by far." What she is marketing, what she is presenting, is far more attractive and marketable than her real self, by her own words. So when her real self comes up, surprise surprise, the Miss is a miserable misandric miser.

Pointing out that journalists were entirely too close to the subjects they cover was bad.

In order to stop the truth, We have to continue hammering this nail until it's subterranian with the hammer called 'don't look into it, or you'll find out we're wrong about everything and it's just a nest of favor currying and fucking your way to the top.'

Please do not look into it, they're evil bad bad evil people. Trust us (tm)

GG was more of a community's vocal reaction to having progressivism pushed onto them, against their will. Progressives (like Christians) believe their morality is objective and universal. Not adhering to their morality is a crime of the highest order which you will be brutally punished for.

The fact is the progressives has won. This is their country now. This is their society. There really isn't anywhere to run to. No real frontier where you can be free.

also jews and muslims

the facts are though that Christianity and Islam generally lead to decent life outcomes. Jewish beliefs and progressive morality lead to strife and doom for individual lives (and nations).
