    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 …

    Erynn Brook @ErynnBrook
    I can point to several women and trans folks who have completely changed careers because they’ve been harassed out of video games. I can see the direct line from GG to the alt-right. I can’t find a single policy or reform to point to that’s a direct result of GG.

        What did the gamer gate/altright fascists discover with their experiments, you might ask? That it was trivially easy on the internet to dupe an army of men into parroting a nonsensical claim, AS LONG AS the claim was directed against someone from a marginalized group.

        In fact, they discovered, you could mobilize the duped army into actual action - harassing people, doxxing them, driving them from their homes - as long as the target was from a marginalized group.

        We have memories, you know - those of us who’ve been here awhile. Go ahead & call it a ridiculous conspiracy theory - I’m sure several people in my mentions already have.🤣 But I’ve been here longer than you think😊

        I used to be afraid to say the word gamergate, or name Milo or Breitbart, but at some point I ran out of fucks to give. The assholes that come out of the woodwork just really aren’t shit. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        Y’all gamergaters can protest all you want, but it doesn’t change the fact that you took orders from fascists.

        You let them use you to figure out how to manipulate crowds. You may have been taken in by the cover story, but even then...I mean, how stupid do you have to be to think being a female game developer in a relationship with a male journalist warrants doxxing & death/rape threats?

        The gaslighting continues, even in this thread. It was super fun to watch this happen in real time and be continuously told that no, what I'm seeing isn't really real. Even if we accept that right wing reactionary recruiting wasn't the original intent, it was still the outcome.

        Oh really? We did care. I cared. @redlianak cared, a lot, to the point she stood for us gamers. Was then, just then, when Milo appeared, attacking her.

        Excuse me, you know nothing about me. Don't insult me just because someone looped me into a conversation. Personal attacks make you no better then the people you're criticizing. I was a journalist covering a story and I got crucified and blacklisted. You lack knowledge.

        And no matter what you believe, resorting to attacks on a stranger (whom Milo conspired to try to get her to attempt suicide) is really really really ironic considering what you're complaining about. I don't care who you're talking to. Be better.

        Then stop acting like one. Look in the mirror before you lash out next time. Holy hell you are a professional. Stop acting like an angry teenager on Twitter. You are still fighting over something that happened in 2015. That is not mature. The world has more pressing issues.
