She was just the face, the actual one pushing the propaganda was Johnathan McIntosh as we know. He was still doing stuff on youtube. I'm still convinced he's getting astroturfed because some of his shitty videos have millions of views and he as something like 2,817 people supporting him on patreon even though he barely does anything.
I don't support rape/death threats/ etc. but it wasn't just she had bad opinions, it was that the gaming industry believed her bad opinions and she managed to convince them that if they just made
a bunch of stupid changes to their games (that would drive away their existing audience) they could double their profits because durrrrrrr women make up 50% of the population.
As a general rule, never trust the whole rape and death threats shtick. Was she doing something wrong or was she not? Regardless of whether the threats were real (and let's face it, the vast majority probably were not real or at the very least not credible), that is the question that matters. Leftists in general love to act like getting death threats absolve them of the often ridiculous and immoral actions that solicited those supposed threats in the first place.
They also act like "death threats" are a real legitimate threat, when a simple "kys" technically counts as one but is completely fucking sad to even take remotely seriously. And they know it.
Its why they never actually show you examples, and when they do its always the most clear self-sent fake 400% aggressive thing you've ever seen.
They've also been known to target their own people anonymously to maintain this narrative. Few things will get you as many death threats as saying publicly that you've never had an issue with them.
The fact that you felt the need to say this at all means she still won and has cowed you into needing to virtue signal that you aren't "one of those people" before having your own opinion.
This is one of those little wiggly Leftist language tactics they use to shape the very way we talk to their benefit.
Oh yeah, she got caught with the Hitman scene crying about how the game encourages you to kill female strippers while the footage shows the player getting penalized for doing that.
And it's not the only example. There's a scene from Deus Ex Human Revolution that she make it seem like you're yelling at a prostitute as you chase her down, when in actuality the footage is the POLICE yelling at YOU because they are trying to arrest YOU for attacking the prostitute. Literally taking an example of the game penalizing you for attacking a female NPC and claiming isn't an example of the game encouraging you to attack female NPCs.
At the end of the day she was a fraud, but she was considered an 'asset' by the amoral feminist movement (pleonasm) and the gaming companies looking to hook females into console/PC gaming, so they looked the other way and started pouring money into her obvious scam.
I bet this harridan didn't finish a single game in that stack.
It's kinda sad that a fucking decade later, people are still unsure what the fuck happened. Like they memory hole the good, but remember the negative.
It's like if there's an organic movement, and it hasn't been taken over by a corporation to control it, no one knows what it's about. This is the power of PR, and why every grass roots movement will fail without it.
Sorta like the way Occupy got infected and turned into bullshit. Near the end of it, we all had to let black people speak, weren't allowed to clap, and had to do what 'an organizer' wanted, instead of y'know, doing what the group collective was supposed to be about.
It's kinda sad that a fucking decade later, people are still unsure what the fuck happened. Like they memory hole the good, but remember the negative.
And the reason they are unsure is the exact same reason for gamergate in the first place: the shitbag left seizing control of the means to set/control the narrative.
You'll never see the gaming media, or the normal media, publish a single honest story about what gamergate actually was, because the same shitbag leftists work in those very companies, and they publish articles in a way that purposely obfuscates, or outright lies about what the reasons were. They abuse their positions to push their agenda.
You'll never be able to go onto Wikipedia and read an honest accounting of what gamergate was, because it's been captured by the same radical leftist activists, who have entrenched themselves there, making sure that no one can edit that article in a way that conflicts with their narrative of the events.
You'll never be able to go onto Reddit - in any place other than minor, non large, non front-page sub - and post/read about what really happened, because the same leftist imbeciles mod all the larger default subs, and they make sure that only the leftist version of events is permitted.
Gamergate is the main event that exposed - to our generation(s) - what the radical left has been up to. Everything they are able to achieve, and have been able to achieve - not just gamergate - is directly because of their control of the narrative.
The only good thing about her is if any company actually brings her on for guidance or whatever, you know to write that company off forever. The female characters will get masculine and bitchy while no changes to the male (other than being less masculine maybe)
People have also spoken very highly of Celeste. I really enjoyed Towerfall.
"Matt Makes Games" will never get another cent from me. Even before sneaking the trans crap into Celeste. (Is he even Matt anymore? Has he gotten the chop yet?)
You side with people who hate your customers, I won't be your customer any more.
Yea, totally had nothing to do with how they leveraged immense wealth and social connections in a concerted effort to destroy people they disagreed with (and not just those individuals, but also a massive number of innocent bystanders), including a special session of the united fucking nations to complain about people saying mean things to them online.
We didn’t even go after her. It was all about Quinn. Sarkeesian and Wu inserted themselves into the picture and we were trying to tell them to fuck off. That was until Sarkeesian got chummy with game devs. Then there was a problem.
This gets forgotten. Even the Quinn stuff is over-emphasised - Quinn was hypothetically a side note in the controversy except for the massive circling of the narrative wagons in her defence, and the controversy would have been just about the collusion across the games press and the internet censorship, were it not for the fact that she kept inserting herself to help orchestrate all this (and victimise herself). This was the point of 'Literally Who'.
Sarkeesian was several degrees further removed. She was Literally Who 2. At first the only connection in general was that the entire games press and industry suddenly turned into berserk feminists and LW2 had previously been the loudest feminist with regards to video games. Nothing else. She managed to make 'GG attacked me' true only by repeating it, wishing it to be true and brute forcing it into the zeitgeist. The rumours that any dev listened to her direct input even seemed weak until around the release of Mirrors Edge 2, two years deep into GG.
Quinn was the initial starting point which lead to the discovery of GameJournoPros. And due to her people looked more into connection between "devs" and "journos" and found many many more examples without disclosure of relationships.
Exactly, but GG never would have caught fire without the DMCA of Mundane Matt, the reddit comments graveyard, the Gamers Are Dead articles and the censorship of 4chan, etc. At that point it was obviously bigger than one slut or a few bad apples.
How does GG still live rent free in their heads? Isn't it almost a decade now? We should rent out that space, could be billions of dollaridos by the amount of people still coping about GG's existence(just look at the amount of likes in the first tweet, jesus.)
She was just the Marxist vanguard of her day and now the revolution has moved past her.

She was always a grifter. She attacked Twilight, LEGO and Glee before gaining traction with games
I don't support rape/death threats/ etc. but it wasn't just she had bad opinions, it was that the gaming industry believed her bad opinions and she managed to convince them that if they just made a bunch of stupid changes to their games (that would drive away their existing audience) they could double their profits because durrrrrrr women make up 50% of the population.
Also she took people's money and ran lol

They also just lie and threaten themselves. All anti progressive hate crimes are hoaxes
They've also been known to target their own people anonymously to maintain this narrative. Few things will get you as many death threats as saying publicly that you've never had an issue with them.

No. Hold up. Sorry to correct you here.
Literally Who 2 took footage from video games and then used it as evidence of shit that wasn't happening. She then concluded that women were victims.
That isn't "bad opinions" that is lying for profit.
Oh yeah, she got caught with the Hitman scene crying about how the game encourages you to kill female strippers while the footage shows the player getting penalized for doing that.

Same idiotic logic the comic book industry tried
Shes also a very obvious grifter who doesnt even believe anything she says.
At the end of the day she was a fraud, but she was considered an 'asset' by the amoral feminist movement (pleonasm) and the gaming companies looking to hook females into console/PC gaming, so they looked the other way and started pouring money into her obvious scam.

She admitted to not liking games after her grift passed it's prime
She admitted it before the grift as well, there's video somewhere

Occupy was always a deranged communist movement from the moment the first greasy unshaved retard set foot in Zuccotti Park.
She also has a good deal of responsibility for why 'cancel culture' even exists
The only good thing about her is if any company actually brings her on for guidance or whatever, you know to write that company off forever. The female characters will get masculine and bitchy while no changes to the male (other than being less masculine maybe)

She totally did ruin games though, just ask the devs of Immortals of Aveum. You think they'd care if big titties were sexist, if it saved their jobs?
It's like they live in opposite-land.
Yea, totally had nothing to do with how they leveraged immense wealth and social connections in a concerted effort to destroy people they disagreed with (and not just those individuals, but also a massive number of innocent bystanders), including a special session of the united fucking nations to complain about people saying mean things to them online.
she deserved much worse than hurt feelings
Its their holocaust. Anyone who was there when it all started can fill a book from this post alone about how bad they have lieid about it.
Made millions and didn't even finish her shitty propaganda piece

Gamergate: the internet hoax that will never die.
Sounds fun. Where can it be downloaded?

For them GG is the reason that Trump got elected.
