Why is gamergate so important and talked about everyday?
posted 3 months ago by Webspawner3 3 months ago by Webspawner3 +52 / -5

I understand what happened and it’s important and newsworthy. Why can’t I go a single day on the internet without hearing about it?

It's the first time the cultural left heard the word "no". They flipped their shit about it and continue to flip their shit about it. It's also why they blame GG for getting Trump elected the first time despite it being far more politically diverse back then. They're mentally 5 years old and think "GG told me no and the voters told me no => GG caused Trump".

To be fair...going through Gamergate allowed many of us to identify parallels with how the media was treating Trump and from there it's just a matter of doing the most perfunctory digging to discover that he's the first candidate in at least a generation to give a shit about America.

And many GG'ers weren't even Americans. I'm pretty sure I didn't elect Drumpf, because he wasn't on the ballot here.

That said, many GG'ers also claim (ironically?) that we elected Drumpf, perhaps to troll.

GG made me see the media as an entirety was corrupt.

Hell I'm on this fucking sub alongside a bunch of fucks who hate Jews even though I'm not on the same page as them about it because we all can agree on ONE thing.

You don't hate journalists enough. You think you do, but you don't.
