@pthagnar @blue_traveler @Ian_HT "Leave me alone" and "I can't leave you alone" are not symmetrical demands.
@schakalsynthetc @pthagnar @blue_traveler @Ian_HT Basically some carpetbagging douchebags deploying memes to create a scapegoat class.

@St_Rev@pthagnar@blue_traveler @Ian_HT I don't understand why anyone who isn't a gamer would care at all, really -
@schakalsynthetc@pthagnar@blue_traveler @Ian_HT That's the resentment on the gamer side: "Wait, what? What the fuck did we do?" -
@schakalsynthetc Ultimately, GG isn't coherent precisely because it's a bunch of mostly unrelated people going "stop hitting us!" -
@schakalsynthetc Ofc the ideologically coherent SJ people feel that they must convert the ignorant natives for their own good. -
@schakalsynthetc And THAT I think is why LW set things off. "People like that want to lecture US on ethics?" -
@schakalsynthetc People laugh at Charlie Sheen's behavior, but when a preacher acts like that, people get angry.

@schakalsynthetc@pthagnar@blue_traveler @Ian_HT Lots of built-up resentment among both sides' dupes. IMO instigators are the journos tho. -
@schakalsynthetc@pthagnar@blue_traveler @Ian_HT AS in particular pisses not only on gamers but on women who were involved all along. -
@schakalsynthetc@pthagnar@blue_traveler @Ian_HT I mean, hello, Roberta Williams? Up there with Lord British? -
@schakalsynthetc I think it's because vidya was seen as a soft target, and a rich one. Similar dramas already happened in SFF, tabletop RPGs
