With our recent string of cultural victories, I think it's fantastic that the term "GamerGate 2" is being used. Whereas we once decided not to defend the GG "brand" -- correctly deciding that doing so would distract from attacking theirs -- it's a very pleasant side effect that we have the chance to retroactively rehabilitate it. Looks like we were on the "right side of history" after all.

There have been "Gamergate 2.0" since like 2018, about countless little blowups that ended up so underwhelming most people don't even remember them.
Calling it Gamergate now just limits its scope and saddles it with unnecessary baggage. Such as being Games only.
I'm talking specifically about game-related victories like Sweet Baby games flopping, Sweet Baby itself apparently pulling down their website, etc. It's useful to mention tangentially in other places like movies, tabletop, and so on.
