I remember years ago when I was still unaware of the majority of what was going on and spent time lurking on "normal" Reddit. I would always see replies to downvoted comments pointing out what subjects people posted on. HalfKIA, was often one of them, and I was curious about what was wrong with the sub.
I checked it out and all I saw was anti-SJ posts and people calling out game journos, nothing hateful or "racist", and it made me start questioning things more and more. I wondered why "Gamergate" had such a bad name, so I started looking in to it.
I started visiting Half often to see what was going on. I didn't fully understand all of the references, but I started to learn, and I started to notice how connected all of the games media sites were. I was fascinated. I soon noticed that there were a lot of posts that were being removed because of rule 3.
I quickly got tired of seeing nothing but 20 Narwitz tweets everyday I logged on, and I saw someone mention KIA2. Naturally I checked it out, and it was so much better.
There was a wider range of topics discussed and I was able to see more of how shit the media was.This place helped me see more of what was wrong with so many industries. It inspired me to create my own stuff, and has given me motivation to start developing my own games, and hopefully bring back some of that pre-woke charm.
It makes me sound like a faggot, but I love this place, and what we have made it become.
Edit: To add to this and answer the question more obviously, we had to go because we counter the narrative and even existing on the site allowed people to find us. If the mods didn’t private us the sub probably would have been banned by now.
