I love watching these grifters saying the exact same shit about John we've been saying since 2014.
It's not quite the missing stair, is it, because they're not warning each other in private about Wu being dangerous. It's just basic gossiping and mockery behind his back, all while pretending he's valuable, all because leftists/foids will publicly support you for being on the Right Side of History as long as they can.
They always ignore callouts from their enemies, it's why so much of the anti-Gamergate shit looks so ridiculous now, from the surge of support for Sarah Butts Nyburg being revealed to be a pedo, to the cascade of sex pests that just kept coming out after the whole thing died down. If you're prominent enough, they'll ignore callouts from allies as well, considering Wu's game staff explicitly called out her mismanagement and lack of payment and it was ignored because actual women in tech were being negative about The Woman In Tech.
But after long enough time has passed so they're allowed to admit in public that Wu is full of shit, and he's crossed one of their sacred cows, extremely hilariously, by being trans but no longer being trans
enough, now they can finally say out loud everything that had just been private bitching previously. Can't acknowledge, mention or apologise to anyone who was saying the exact same things just when it wasn't 'socially acceptable', no, that's not how this works. We have always
been at war with Eurasia thought Brianna Wu was a loony.
It's got a very strong female socialisation energy, which is why it's funniest when it happens to the troons. Gamergate is one of these people's sacred cows, a shibboleth of victimisation and importance. But none of the people who came to prominence due to it, on either side, has anything beyond the remnants of grifts long-past to show for it, let alone managed to keep a reputation and standing that 'their side' wouldn't let get tarnished. But then you can't be a functioning human being while having any thought that the days of GamerGate were your glory days, and I strongly suspect a range of people from Wu to Ethan Ralph believe that that's what they were.
