What was the saying again?

You don't ''join'' Gamergate.

You get thrown in the pit with the rest of us.

the pit

Seeing as how Chris Pratt is being attacked, again, this seems apt.

I swear that wasn't a saying until several years in and it was invented by new people who weren't around for shit like air play.

I think it's because those of us around for the original thread through the first 2 years (or so, maybe. God damn it's been too long, I just wanted to play games) actively did join, and signed up. It was after that when people started getting lumped in.

It's hard to say, cause pre Zoe post it was all a lot more nebulous.

Like the feminist frequency videos getting posted to Chezburger to zero up votes and comment sections filled with A. "Why is this here?" And B. "Stop giving her attention and she'll go away!"

Nobody knew where things would end up.

It's been so long, so I can't remember clearly, but I think it started, when anti-ggers started harassing every feminist and other supporter that even slightly went off track.

It may have taken the same thing happening to him before he could admit it, but at least he has the balls to come out publicly and say it.

Unlike J.K. Rowling.

Don't forget what the R in TERF stands for. She doesn't oppose troons because she's based, she opposes them because they're men and her man-hate has no exceptions.

All true, but one doesn't need to be an 'RF' to be disgusted by MtF trannies.

No, but Rowling actively blames "men's right activists" for the tranny phenomenon. I have no patience for TERFs entirely because, as women do, they refuse to acknowledge the central role that feminism played in creating this problem.

It doesn't make her right though, any more than Muslims are proper allies just for being anti homo.

Has he stopped being a mega simp or manhater yet?

Not sure, but they sure must be after this m’fer. Here is what you get served up on a google search:

About: Graham George Linehan is an Irish comedy writer and anti-transgender activist. He created or co-created the sitcoms Father Ted, Black Books, and The IT Crowd, and he has written for shows including Count Arthur Strong, Brass Eye and The Fast Show.

You don’t even have to click search to get it served up. It’s so fucking crazy how much power the left has to set the narrative on anything via their control over the internet companies.

All shows everyone here should watch, just make sure you get the full non-edited versions because the IT Crowd for example removed an episode for having a woman who used to from Iran a man which consequently means some of the biggest memes to come out of the show, "The Internet" black box specifically, aren't readily available now.

HIs actions are indistinguishable from those of someone that panders to whichever audience he figures is the majority.

Not even that. He's just a simp. He climbed on to the anti-GG bandwagon because he wanted to virtue-signal to women, and he jumped aboard the TERF bandwagon for the same reason. He's just a sad, broken, unfortunately quite ugly man whose insecurities have dominated his entire adult life. He became a comedian for the same reason.

Basically he only saw the light because some of the "women" involved were men, not because journos are an incestuous, corrupt group of liars, including the actual women who were involved.

Baby steps but not exactly the reason why Gamergate was right. Then again, everyone has their own reasons why they realize journos are full of shit when it affects their particular slice of the world.

GG wasn't even first, it just ticked enough boxes that it ended up being far, far more lasting and widespread than previous times: The main point being the online nature of it all.

Everyone involved was mostly online, this meant a potential global scale and communications network to both compared and spread similar information previously unheard of. There could be no local coverups because anything that happened could be posted about and within minutes reposted countless times around the entire planet.

Even with popular social media platforms attempting to shutdown any and all discourse about The Zoe Post, GG, and related matters they were still spoken about and continue to be spoken about.

Sure you will have people with stories from before this, and after, telling their personal tales of how they came to learn just how cancerous the MSM is, but until 2014 it rarely got the same amount of engagement from those with some interest in the topic, in part because it related to one of the biggest entertainment mediums there is and through sheer numbers and accessibility via the web it spread like widefire, moreso when all the attacks and clampdowns on things followed.
