Yup. Gamergate was the preshow for the alt-right. Milo, Breitbart, etc., all made the transition seamlessly. Nobody involved in gg ever cared about games. They were experimenting & trying out tactics, before they started focusing on the only real game: politics.https://twitter.com/ErynnBrook/status/1080968316540248064 …
And because of this cluelessness and apolitical nihilism of the most public part of Gamer Gate, it turned into a far right recruitment tool. And a lot of people were turned into fucking monsters. I barely got out in time, realizing the fuckery going on.
