With Gamergate, young men were encouraged to redirect their sexual frustrations and social anxieties away from useful projects like self-improvement and toward bellowing hate non-stop at a group of women who were turned into symbols of everything the Gamergaters feared they would never have: fulfilling jobs, active sex lives and cool haircuts.
Yeah. I am so angry that I don't have purple hair and a side shave, that I decided to hate wammens. It's why I hate the rule16s too.
This is all depressing, but there is some hope to hang onto. It's important to understand that Gamergate failed.
lol. Someone hasn't been paying attention to the state of the AAA industry or to the state of gaming journalism. If this is what losing looks like, I can only imagine what winning would be.

This is especially rich from coming from the "going to the gym is fascist" crowd, the "healthy at any size" crowd, and the "being attractive is oppression" crowd, too. Also, their hobby is shrieking hate and going to protests.
You dont understand that for these people self improvement is paying for man cuddle camp or women scream in woods therapy camp. They literally don’t understand self improvement

It really didn't. Gamergate lead directly to the Adpocolypse. The entire advertising rate for gaming dropped through the floor.
YouTube would not monetize game videos that were not Roblox or Fortnight. Roblox and Fortnight got more and more popular (subscribe to Pewdiepie) and at least a couple high budget AAA games failed, including Battlefield 1; largely because Native Advertising (worth hundreds of millions of dollars) evaporated overnight.
The entire industry of gaming journalism and its partner, game industry advertising, had the rug pulled out from underneath it. A little down the track media empires were no longer profitable and got sold. Some of them twice.
Calling Gamergate a failure first requires someone to lie about what it was, then lie about what happened next. ... so standard practice for Salon.

As leftist activist grifters dragging the industry into irrelevance and insolvency
Giving away the milk for free isn’t an achievement
No one is intimidated by or jealous of your trashy gay fashion
