Shit man, next year we're gonna be a decade old. Its also wild that you can trace the line of dominoes from us to the exposure of all the current day insanity, one event and regime-double-down at a time.

Yes, our targets are flaming dumpster fires, but not necessarily from us.
And to be clear, our goal wasn't to destroy gaming journalism. It was to fix it. They chose death, rather than reform. All of them.
That's what worries me about the Leftist hysteria behind GamerGate expanding everywhere.
I would quibble with this slightly. They didn't think they were choosing death. They chose to blow us off and call us powerless incels who everyone should ignore because they were the future. They had no idea that it would lead to the end of their entire industry. Kind of like Bud Light or Target (while their industries aren't totally destroyed, they had the same attitude towards their customers as Gawker did). Now, not only is it mainstream to believe that all journalists are untrustworthy liars, it's mainstream to believe that a cabal of wealthy elites is forcing this stuff -- and we were all rewarded with a normal, non-gay June this year. Blackrock and Vanguard have both announced they are stepping away from ESG (they're almost certainly going to rebrand it, but that's another story). No, we didn't set out to destroy gaming journalism, but when your opponent refuses to surrender, the only option is to finish the fight. We did.
Hillary defeated, Gawker defeated, mask mandates and mandatory vax defeated (with the help of a massive Canadian trucker protest), Bud Light defeated, the teacher banning Gadsden flags defeated.
As I've said before, exposing another health bar does not mean you're losing.
I get all that. What I'm saying is that they could have chosen reform, but reform would have led to them making a voluntary loss of power. Instead they chose to grip tighter onto power as their industry burned around them, and continues to.
What country do you live in? I was rewarded with gay-juneteenth.
Then they will be deposed from the ashes, with nothing left to rule. Even Blackrock and Vanguard, as I said, are choosing to (at least pretend to) back off at this point.
The US had a nice, normal June with the corporations cowed into compliance.
