Stupid. When GamerGate started we didn't even know what was happening, we thought the ethical black hole of the gaming media was just personal corruption. Little did we know that it was just one tentacle of an ideological cancer that had already infested most institutions of the Western world. People had no idea what "woke" even was, nor did it even occur to anyone at that time that Progressive ideology was driving it.
Today, much of the country (in multiple countries) knows about this cancer and what it's about.
IMO, far into the future, GamerGate will be written of as the point where people began to fight back.
Or maybe we died and went to hell in 2014. Because things have truly gone off the rails since then.
If we win. If not, we were neo-Nazi, white supremacists who were mad at "girls in their games" and were heroically defeated by courageous people in the media.
Very true, but I remember a time around 2015ish where it seemed they had won - they were getting away with everything they were doing and had managed to silence anyone speaking out about it. Compare that to now and they're doing worse things but at least there's public awareness and pushback has begun.
I do remember that in late 2014 and early 2015, everyone was declaring that "Gamergate won" in order to put it behind themselves, or maybe to make themselves feel good.
dekachin has told me not to voice my opinions on this, because it's 'demoralizing', but I fear that the pushback is too little, too late. They're already in control of nearly all institutions. The public opposes them but is powerless.
Still, I join you in hoping for the best.
Sometimes I think this too, but then I'm reminded of previous times when things looked bleak and then suddenly and unpredictably everything turned around. It's partly because we're on the forefront of the wave moving through this sewer of a timeline, and by the time we realise something is happening and raise the alarm, it takes 18 months at least for the normies to catch on.
For decades the Rainbow-Marxists were able to infiltrate the institutions because they could do it away from the spotlight. Now the spotlight is on them and what we see is their throes of anger. I don't know what will happen in the short term but in the long term, the worst possible outcome is they fail and civilisation falls apart.
