I admit to falling for the lie that these guys spun.
I honestly believed this whole thing was going to amount to something.
Didn't find my way into Gamergate, so I guess I just missed the obvious.
Oh well.
Consider the biggest egg on my face. As I have studied more on Gamergate via the various Jimlogging Youtube channels, I've pieced together that honestly: Comicsgate is a bargain bin version of Gamergate.
Now that my job has me co-existing with other gamers and learning the ground level of all of this, it's so obvious that the issues that founded CG were completely off target. Just like Gamergate, the issues fell to personality conflicts, not the fucking Marxism and Current Year Brain Rot.
I'm not ashamed to say that I've watched a few sunsets wondering if any of this was worth it; or if it was all a distraction to keep me from sleeping in the Nether.
God only knows what's next. It's an election year and 9/10 things that only happen in a single lifetime have happened in 8 months (so far). It's anyone's guess what'll go down in the smoldering crater of CG. Even Ethan's trying to escape it by pleading with Dick Masterson to bring him in as 3rd man. I'm still betting Zack'll come out as gay this year though. Trump said 2024 would be a year all truths would be revealed.
