      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 …

      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.

      Congrats, gamergaters - either you’re a fascist, or you’re stupid enough to fall for one. Neither is a good look.

          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)_/¯

          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.

          Since your diatribe is proven wrong by my mere existence. I'd say I'm good on that part. I am both concerned and laughing at just how insulting and ridiculous your personnal take on this topic is. Denial isn't an expression of intelligence.

          I dunno I didn't fall for the sociopathic cryptofascists who want people fired for offending some-one on the internet and believe a tweet should mean it's fine to try and ruin a persons whole life. But hey guess I'm not on "the right side of history".
