      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.

      Probably not think literally everyone who disagrees with me is alt-right because of vidyagames - but I'm sure that basic thought is a touch beyond your station.

      Whatever happened to the statement: game websites are bought shills that lie to the general consumer? With at least one guy getting fired for having a bad review of a sponsored video game? I get it was taken over, it's like that was completely ignored.

      They don't care about ethics anymore - at all, why do you think all of these outlets are failing and trying to push their politics for hate-clicks? They really just don't give a shit about being journalists, they want to create propaganda.

      The way things turned into a dumpster fire, itd be best to just understand that most game sites are fake, and not trust reviewers Then al these people thinking they are innocent so everyone else is innocent became bitter Yeah women receive more harassment, it's hard to fix that

      “Oh well, nothing we can do about harassment” oh I don’t know have you tried NOT HARRASSING WOMEN? Maybe even RESPECTING them? And calling out people who don’t? How about treating them like interesting human beings instead of like exotic zoo animals that need special handling?

      Harassment exists because gamers - all of you - permit it to exist. There’s nothing magical here. We don’t need any new technology. We need harassment’s acceptability to decline. We need social mores pushing it out. You can start doing that today! But you don’t. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

          That just shows us what you actually value. So don’t give me this “can’t” bullshit. Own it. Say “won’t.” “We won’t fix the harassment problem.” Because that’s what’s happening.

          "Call them out" have you considered that calling out anonymous people, constantly, for the rest of your life may be a waste of everyone's time compared to growing thicker skin, or maybe even saying less incendiary shit? Cherish the thought. Harassment isn't the issue you make it.

          Nice job! The world definitely needed both of your opinions on how bad the harassment problem is. A great addition to the discourse, indeed. You might consider applying more intellectual rigor to your thinking. It’s never too late to build up those skills!pic.twitter.com/Z7nkt4tqnF

          then why is it that you blame games and say"Harassment exists because gamers"... surely that can't come from someone who knows how games and technology can affect culture.

          Yeah I did a quick revisiting of that story. At most they only got 2 people actually threatening women. I dont see how that classifies GG as a harassment group as people say it is.

          Not EVERYONE permits it to exist. Lumping one with every person is bs. Makes this a joke stance since you dont get it. Maybe not treat everyone like dogmeat just cause you can't separate individuals.

          Everyone gets fucking harassed in online gaming, sweetcheeks. That is if you mean being trolled. People cant legitimately physically harass you online. Either you get with the program or stop getting online. You need thick skin to jump into the shark tank.
