@St_Rev (I mean, reinvented by me; that’s from Feb 2014. That’s before Gamergate, isn’t it? There’s more history than I knew.) -
@Meaningness GG started in September 2014, roots of the current culture war started in 09. -
@St_Rev@Meaningness '09 of which century? -
@TristanSevers@Meaningness This one. Racefail was 2009. The rollup of nerd media was in the early 201*s (though BB was much earlier). -
@St_Rev@Meaningness Ah, the literary fandom side of things is entirely too inside-baseball for me to ever look into. -
@TristanSevers@Meaningness Not worth looking at, ever, except to mourn what once was. -
