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.
The first step towards victory is for people to admit that they fucked up.
I like your optimism.
Well, if the liberals and centrists would actually man up and admit that they backed the wrong horses, MAYBE. For now, I just want to rub it in their faces.
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...
Well someone’s getting hyperbolic today.
Speak for yourself, I didn't rally or support anybody. It was just more news cycle and retards to laugh at. You've fallen into the trap of ascribing a position to everybody just as your supposed opposition does. Well done.
No it's more about accepting that they fucked up. The first step in solving a problem is to admit that there is a problem. Simple. Now if that's a supposed opposition position instead of a basic golden rule, oh boy, you have some issues.
Now there's some poor reading comprehension if I've ever seen some.
Bruv, you cannot hide from that statement while trying to kafkatrap someone.
You are one dense motherfucker. You once again ascribed a position not taken after it was pointed out that you'd done exactly that in the first place. You might as well triple down and go for the hat trick at this point.
Resorting to ad hominem really unmasked on how your arguments are, or even how you argue. Well good job, comrade.
The insult is a bonus, not the basis of an argument. This would be the Argument from Fallacy in that pretty picture you learned them all from.
Marxists aren't the problem. There were and are some who supported GG. It's this psychotic identitarians who are the bastardized lovechild of Marxism and postmodernism who are.
And I never said anything about GG being about 'ethics in video games journalism'. Hard-left ideologues do not suddenly become good people if they disclose from whom they are acquiring STDs.
Real Marxists(whatever that means) hated this cultural bullshit. "Left-Wing" Communism: An Infantile Disorder by Lenin is a fun read. Soviet-senpai refused to notice the Frankfurt school and it drove them crazy.
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.
Yeah it was mainly ignorance of the situation man...we didn't know what we know now, only a very few mainly ignored people rightly pointed to the reason behind the subversion.
