Back during the GamerGate days I think our actions drew blood from the monster of activist journalism. It lashed out really hard against GG because it was the first time in EVER that a consumer-led revolt did damage to any journalistic conglomerate/institution.
I agree, but they have only doubled down on the nonsense since then.
It's been all downhill from there - you know how angry the regime was when it STILL talks to this day bitching about GG.
That's an explanation that flatters our ego. It's also possible that they just see GG as a useful boogeyman. They don't still talk about Nazis because they're "mad" about them 70 years after the fact, after all.
It is also why the institutions were willing to lie, cheat, and steal to "win" 2020.
This should not be in any way surprising. Except for the fact that they usually win no matter which candidate wins, so they don't bother to lie and rig.
