@tailcalled The latter, plus the ones who led the charge c. 2012-2014.

@tailcalled 2) some prominent GG figures are awful; nearly all aGG figures are awful, and significantly more so. -
@St_Rev Seems like this is caused by two things: GG caring more about its image, aGG being against 'middle ground'.Is this correct analysis? -
@tailcalled I think@AuerbachKeller 's analysis still mostly holds up after more than a year: http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/bitwise/2014/10/how_to_end_gamergate_a_divide_and_conquer_plan.html … -
@tailcalled Most of GG would wind down if a) the Internet games press stopped sucking b) the Internet press stopped calling them Hitler -
@St_Rev Can I blame this on incentive gradients again? Or...? -
@tailcalled I don't know what you mean. -
@tailcalled You're absolutely free to stand above the fray and feel superior, if that's what you're asking. -
@St_Rev :P No but, the point is, can the press really be fixed? Seems like it is universally bad. - 5 more replies

@St_Rev I suspect everything after the Zoë post was just following down the incentive gradient, tbh. -
@tailcalled Sure. You had two groups that were preadapted to two violently opposed misreadings: "misogyny!" and "slut!" -
@tailcalled So that was the assassination of Franz Ferdinand right there. But something else would have catalyzed it if not for that. -
@St_Rev Seems that looking for things to blame after that is unproductive.More useful to look at ways to set up peaceful memetic environment -
@tailcalled Sure. A lot of the conflict is down to third-party trolls at this point. -
@St_Rev Yet you "know who [you're] gonna blame" because they "started the fight"? -
@tailcalled Yes. Trolls became a significant factor a few months in. -
@tailcalled I should say: trolls only started being significant post-TZP. The ideological offensive started c. 2012/13. - 1 more reply
