Has anyone done a retrospective documentary on gamergate from a neutral perspective? Considering it's been almost 15 years, it might be time...

I mean aggressively neutral, not on the "right" side or the "wrong" side, just completely neutral.

seeing as I wasn't involved at the time, i'd be nice to see someone try to do a port mortem.

When someone has been covertly fucking you about and then spreads lies about you for finding out like some kind of wounded narcissist, you do not go "hmmmm, I wonder who was in the wrong? COULD IT BE MEEEEEEE?!". The torches and pitchforks are already drawn and they're coming for you.

This mentality will get you eaten alive in any other context - now imagine that this is an entity wearing the skinsuit of an entire industry with government funding and media omnipresence. Our pointing shit out WAS the fair treatment, and for that courtesy they burned the evidence and demonized us.

Neutrality is a peacetime concept.

neutral in the sense of presenting both sides, and the facts, not neutral in the sense of sticking a fencepost up your ass and refusing to budge, lol.

Yeah, it’s one thing to digest and read all of the information provided to you, but most of us are even here in the first place because we all came to the general correct conclusion that one side is objectively correct and the other lied and manipulated in order to be a wolf in sheep’s clothing

I doubt anything like that exists. There are video "documentarians" who claim to be unbiased but I don't see how that's possible, since they lived through it either from the side of gamergate or the side of the corrupt journos, or they got their information from the corrupt journos. The books have been burned. The records erased. History rewritten. Nobody else will know anything beyond what they've been told. You can start by using the links on the side and make up your own mind about what information to accept and what to reject.

...if I was more ambitious, I'd try to make something like that myself, lol

I'm afraid there can never be a post mortem of GG.

They reanimate the corpse every time they need a boogeyman.

Necromancers who fear the golems they themselves create are a strange bunch.

Hey now, we're not THAT old yet! It's 10 years in August.

Kinda hard to be neutral as when you learn about it, you start naturally siding against the SJWs (God that's an old phrase), you're probably best waiting around August when it'll be 10 years to the date for that.

There was that guy who used to post updates years ago on Reddit KIA or KIA2 about his never-releasing Airplay doc.

just putting this out there, my own bias is towards the gg side, because I can remember the shitty EGM reviews of the 90s, and I tend to follow commentators who tend to favor gamergate.
