Basically, this.
"That's when I saw the fucking witch Anita."
I guess we should be grateful. It was accidental, but she helped save civilization, I suppose. We should be thankful for our enemies when they drop the mask and piss everyone off. Anita and the other LWs, and the journalists (using the term very loosely) that rallied around them, did us all a massive favor.
What's funny is Anita is nothing special other than being radically successful well beyond what even she likely expected.
She came at the tail end of the trend, but it was still a trend with history of feminists faking bullying online to prop up their little brand and riding it to decent little careers in being professional activists online. There were bunches of them every year and its a reason why the pre-GG set up involves a lot of Feminist versus MRA battles. The feminists won most of the time because Progressive Leftism was at its upswing and the Progressive Stack/Intersectionality hadn't thrown White Woman Greivances into the bottom of the totem pole yet.
Anita got used by the bigger and more coordinated elites pulling the strings to be the "face" of their movement, and that propelled her into UN level power that she had no capabilities nor talent to keep. That's why she disappeared hard the moment JoshMcIntosh stopped propping her up and the elites moved to TDS type things instead. She was always a puppet.
So they took a common little internet fad at the time that women used to grow their channels, and turned it into a major cornerstone of why the Left is literally falling apart right now.
They curated a radical left wing hugbox and then imagined themselves to be a dominant majority. Zoe did some stupid shit, got called out by Eron, and the leftist cabal heard a starter pistol. It was finally time to shove gamers out of the car.
But lefties vastly overestimated their numbers and met catastrophic resistance, and now here we are: a generation of young men forced into political and cultural awareness by overzealous gay commies.
as an outsider looking back, Gamergate may have been the catalyst the west needed. it created a feedback loop that, in time, forced the various authoritarian groups to overextend, exposing themselves in ways that they wouldn't have otherwise dared to do until it was too late to stop them...
here's to you, gamergate. early soliders in a war, I wish I had been paying attention enough to have participated in at the time.
There is a common pretense that gamergate was made up of a bunch of apolitical or leftist manchildren. I remember a whole lot more right wing posters saying "I told you fucking idiots" than the "I would be a dem but" types want to acknowledge.
It's because the line used to be greyer, litteraly, remember the old Red Tribe Blue Tribe Gray Tribe thing?
My mom is a gen x but acts like a boomer, and I've had this conversation with her over and over and over. Her worldview is still built around liberal/conservative Peter pan and the Indians type shit, "when we win, they turn us loose, and when we win we turn them loose!"
She can't understand the anger because she wasn't Gray Tribe watching the promise of the future be throttled in its crip.
We as humanity were building a rocket with manifest destiny written on the side in gold leaf, and it was aimed and the motherfucking stars.
And it got torn down by mudlicking barbarians and fat greedy hedonist who couldn't stand the idea of greatness.
So yeah im fucking mad.
I don't get it.

Aaah, gotcha.
I think you're just making a joke, but it's "food-ah" to make it rhyme with Buddha.
