Instead of tackling the infestation of Marxism in the video game industry through the video game media, you stuck with "ethics in video game journalism." Instead of exposing the Marxists out in the open within the video game industry, you chose to invest your time on "based feminists" and "based neutrals". Instead of revealing to the people the damage that Marxists have done to video games, you keep saying "vote with your wallet", when the corporations themselves don't even like you, they loathe you.
In short: Most people in #GamerGate chose to deliberately miss the forest from the trees.
Hell, back in those days I didn't even know what a Marxist was.
Karl Marx was just "that Russian philosopher guy", communism and socialism may as well have been the same thing, and I thought post-modernism was one of those snobby art movements.
I'll definitely admit though, back then I thought that all the politically correct nonsense would eventually cycle out of fashion, and that the early SJW movements were just another phase for naïve sociology freshmen looking for something to make a noise about.
Oh how wrong I was...
