Which makes perfect sense, because early GG was filled with "one of the good ones" liberals who were determined to believe that this wasn't a left/right schism, and that it wasn't also happening anywhere outside of gaming.
There was a lot of gaslighting from controlled opposition within our ranks until the red pill suppositories started being handed out in bulk during the 2016 election. Most of our members were pretty naive before then.
My point exactly. Early GG was filled full with Lefties dancing on the edge because they were being pushed too far, but they were still Lefties who still believed in nearly all the same politics minus the one thing they knew was false, that being Video Games.
People forget that literally everytime GG was called a Right (or alt-right or Trump or whatever) movement that the majority of them were fucking aghast at the accusation (because Right wingers are evil!) and cited that one study saying it was mostly Lefties. Which culminated with the mods truly believing that banning anyone who also posted on T_D was a good idea to purge wrong thinkers.
I was there, and there were many good people who were putting in good efforts that deserve full commendation. But trying to wipe away that probably 80% of KIAPrime was pro-homo, pro-trans kids, and everything else we scream about now is pure whitewashing.
