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.
GG itself never had a strong position outside of gaming journalism. And honestly, the whole "keep politics out of gaming" was never a good position to stand on. Mostly because it was hugely a centrist take on what was coming for gaming. Was it conservatives that were forcing their values in? Libertarians? In this modern era, it's barely even liberals.
It should've been, and technically always was despite the phrase, keep Marxism out of gaming.
Oh and it's funny that a lot of GGer's wanted politics out of gaming. Didn't stop all those surveys just to "prove" it wasn't a right-wing movement. Not that it should've matter if it was left or right, and all that did was concede that being right-wing was somehow bad.
And one final point. It's honestly disappointing how much people were going to side with those that signed that meaningless "cancel culture" letter. If anything, you're probably right that little has changed when it comes to what people here decide to back.
