It's only a couple of small time outlets.

The real victory comes from downing the larger ones that fed into them.

The Guardian, The BBC, CNN and the CBC were all strong proponents against us.

Above them there is Hollywood and the music industry.

Above them politics and religion.

Epstein, P Diddy, The Clintons and everyone else who flexed on their authoritarian Left leanings need to understand that we are all playing the same game. Nobody likes to play with cheaters and they've been caught.

A retraction, an amendment to the rules and an apology. That would have been all it took in August of 2014 for none of this to have happened. But they had to try tea bagging for a finishing move and look where it brought them.

TBH, destroying the BBC is not literally our fight. Kotaku and Polygon very much are.

It literally doesn't.

Saying "it's just a couple of small time outlets" literally ignores every part of our history and why we are here, as if you specifically are operating in bad faith, and wish to redefine why we did what we did.

The corruption in gaming journalism revealed by gamergate isn't unique to it but is endemic in journalism in general. So, why stop at pruning a few rotten branches, why not aim higher and try to topple the whole rotten tree?

Hello me, yes that is my opinion, I sure did explicitly state this on Reddit back in 2014. Thanks me. For a second I thought I forgot my opinion.

"It's just some small time players" intentionally discounts the fact that it is/was what we were fighting about.

We win when they face trials and get 30 pieces of silver taken off them or their financiers.

Polygon has become so irrelevant that I don't even care anymore.

The dmg is already done, the sites that are now dying out have successfully changed how games are made.

If there is even 1 non cucked man or sexy woman in a western game its shocking and medieval fantasy is always as diverse as modern day California.
