Genuinely, if we knew where to start we would. It’s just inconceivable that people think this way. I’ve literally never encountered anyone who even began to talk this way before. It’s horrifying. It’s weapons grade misogyny.
what did you think gamergate was?? it boggles my mind that it took you til 2018 to notice that men express inhuman loathing for women online. it has already led to 2 mass murders!
When future historians write of the Trump era and how we got here, they’ll have to start with a chapter on GamerGate.
Despite the fact that GamerGate was a mostly left-leaning movement? What an odd way to record history.

When I say Gamergate was, is, and will continue to be a mostly left-leaning movement, it's not some off-the-cuff statement that I'm basing on my personal views of the movement. It's based on evidence I can back it up with:
"A majority of GamerGate supporters state their views are generally centre-left (53%), followed by centre-right (13%), centre (12%), far-left (11%), apolitical (7%) and far-right (3%)." From: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/663.880368-A-comprehensive-look-at-GamerGate …
Seconded. I wish I knew how to react. But I feel paralysed. "Debating" them wont help because these people quite obviously dont care about others or their thoughts, and as I see it the only other options are protest and violence. So I retweet, hoping that people will
See through their lies and inhumane rhetoric. But outside of physically attacking them, god forbid that ever necessary, I have no options.
Obviously, if we have friends who start saying stuff like this we can talk to them. But you can't wander into an incel subreddit and get through to them. It's a cult, and they relentlessly self-propagandize each other. They never realize that *they* are the problem.
And those that stumble onto the "red pill" of self-improvement limit that to superficial aspects, and still remain fundamentally shitty people. I think a lot of our cultural toxicity contributes to this problem, but forced access to women isn't the answer.
How about we tear down the consumer capitalism that destroys community, leaving so many people feeling alone and vulnerable to this kind of poisonous radicalization?
