GamerGate never ended, because the Social Justice Warriors never stopped. For some reason, the tactics were replicated by every institutional structure of the political Left; as if they had won something.
GamerGate didn't end. Everything became GamerGate.
The term itself doesn't even refer to the scandal that caused it, but the media's conduct from that scandal.
Seeing Janet Reno on live TV, frothing at the mouth in what could only be described as a religious fervor, being smug about how "nobody is above the law" after her goons burned White children alive in Waco radicalized me.
Reminder to everyone that the original KIA tried to ban all Trump supporters and still believed that "GG is a Left Wing movement" for most of its run, if not still.
God, that fucking annoyed me so fucking much. Every comment had to be started by "ACKSHULLY, according to our questionnaire, you all are far leftist freaks, UWU".
Then again, I remember the whole Meowstic thing and how many people used to actually think we needed that filthy, manipulative, insane tranny and we needed to kiss his ass.
To be fair, a lot of us did start on the left but ended up wanting Right Wing Death Squads, so it's kind of a wash.
And the irony that came from Mr. TheHat, who regularly cozied up to them and other trannies out in the open, ended up being the voice of reason and compromise later on when the rest of the Mods wanted to ban any Leftist-critical content because "assaulting journalists for their politics isn't SJW or ethics related!"
I know for a fact some people still to this day think Pinkerbelle is a trooner. Her dox went around in DMs and everyone assumed I got it, but nobody sent it to me. :D
Last time I was there people got mad at me for being an antivaxxer and "spreading misinformation". They're basically our version of Republicans
And this KIA bans anyone who notices too much. Baby steps I guess.
You'd be surprised at what you can get away with. The problem usually isn't noticing, its noticing while being a sperg about it.
I have seen completely reasonable and factual posts that were unanimously upvoted get nuked and the poster permabanned. Dom is no better than Shaddist or Bane as a mod. I wish Brimshae was in charge. He is the only good mod that any of the kia subs has had.
There were enough polls on KiA that showed that early on a ton of users were placed on the leftist axis.
I'm aware, that's why KIA became the shitshell it is.
Because most of those users weren't willing to admit the problems they were dealing with came from within the Left as intentional instead of just bad seeds. Its why there was a constant effort to keep the focus small, because people kept noticing things and that was making it harder to be an open Leftie because it made you look like a fool or hypocrite.
And so, we reached the point where it just became a little hugbox for milquetoast Lefties to act like they weren't the "bad ones" while anyone too spicy got banished (or left willingly in the cause of myself) to KIA2.
