Actually the funniest/most interesting theory of GG/nerd culture war I'm aware of is: "nerddom is a form of male gender deviance".
@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. -
@St_Rev@Meaningness It's not even the politics scaring me off there, it's the sheer cliquishness. -
@TristanSevers@Meaningness It's always been super cliquish. But compare what the fandom *produced* 50 years ago to now... -
@St_Rev@Meaningness It seems to have been dead longer than I've been alive. -
@TristanSevers@Meaningness It was vital at least through the cyberpunk era. But a bunch of academic lefty types showed up then.
