You know what GamerGate had a lot of at the beginning? Gamers. Guys who played video games and thought that male power fantasies were a perfectly legitimate kind of game and didn't want the government and corporate advocacy taking that from them.
I guess those guys eventually just looked around and said "JFC, what am I associating myself with."
The guys who saw the government and corporations shitting up their vidya thought "if they're doing this to video games of all things, then what else are they ruining?" and sort of spiralled from there.
I do wish we'd retain a core focus on video games though amidst the exploration of everything else that's been culturally poisoned. There's a lot of people roaming this forum now that aren't gamers and that's an issue that needs to be addressed.

How could you possibly know this beyond speculation?
I think we need MORE of this. We never wanted politics in video games to begin with, but now that that ship has sailed we sure as fuck aren't going to tolerate LEFTIST politics in games.

The active bemoaning of video games as a pastime tends to be a rather large tell.
