You know, partially related, but what is the track record for the old GG figures going crazy left or going more legit or at least staying sane.
As it feels like it's 50/50 as on one side you got Chris, Dev, think Thunderfoot fell WELL off then on the other side you got your Sargon, shoeonhead, and Metokur who's STILL alive last time I checked.
They didn't "go" crazy left. They already were. They were just lefties in denial that gamergate was actually left vs right from the beginning. Once they realized it, they inevitably tried to spin it to blame the right, like the left always does when caught with their hand in the cookie jar.
I don't know if they were even in denial as let's be honest, back in the 2014 days we ALL GREATLY misunderstood just how demonic these shitstains were!
They probably got caught up in the 'these people are awful' angle before realising it was also ideological as back then, most of us JUST thought they were grossly corrupt.
we ALL GREATLY misunderstood just how demonic these shitstains were
Only the "fashionably liberal" misunderstood. Right wingers had known about the demons in control of all of journalism (including game journalism) for decades. Rush Limbaugh dedicated his entire life to dragging it out into the sunlight.
Yeah and most of us back in the day were JUST GAMERS. We didn't really give a shit about any of it we just wanted good games and be left alone, I include myself on that.
So it really is ironic that despite ALL the years we endured both right AND left trying to claim 'video games cause violence' rhetoric, we were largely quiet and it was only after they incurred our wrath did they FULLY regret it as we were pretty much the first to truly tell them to fuck off..
