Grifters being grifters is one thing, but the actual Gamergate movement did fall apart thanks to infighting and essentially cucking out of their core beliefs. If you check GG threads today on 8moe, the one place that still gives a shit about it in 2025, they still have the #NotYourShield in every general, which is basically what is happening right now: Virtue signalling from right wingers that they love niggers/faggots/trannies/girlbosses to OWN THE LIBERALS. This was completely unnecessary, and yet they made it a core part of the movement, making the whole thing a mockery. Remember, the original message was simply trying to get more transparency from gaming journalists and expose their hypocrisy and corruption.Not really, no. The only significant infighting was between Ethan Ralph, Goose, the guy that killed his parents (Seattle4Truth?), two other gay retards and everyone else. Ethan spent the majority of his time between writing retarded articles that people ignored and writing on his Anti-GG+ gay board that nobody cared about.
GamerGate slowly faded away. They did the emailing campaign and they felt accomplished. They sat on their laurels, they had their meetups and everyone just moved on with their lives. The Kraut stuff happened, JeffHoliday and all those people got blown the fuck out and everyone laughed but nobody was around to support them because we all just....did different shit, by a year or so at that point. Then Sargon got called a fucking Applebees manager and, again, nobody was around to care except for Vee.
People romanticize the GamerGate stuff. It was a hashtag that people tweeted for a year or two. Nobody planned it, there wasn't any big catalyst for it dying, it just fell out of favor because most of us had better shit to do.
Why the virtue signaling, then? KCD set out to be a historically accurate game, why bend backwards to try and walk that back now? Same deal.
So yes, while the grifters did contribute to the downfall of Gamergate(insert Mt. Gamergate.jpg here), they were little more than flies circling around shit at the end of the day, the actual users who campaigned with the tag day and night and made it part of their core identity ruined the whole thing by embracing gay bullshit, petty drama, infighting and making fools of themselves. There should have been better leadership and stricter gatekeeping, but that's a whole other topic. The sektur trashfire was just a sideshow in comparison to what was really happening behind the scenes, and again, the movement being co-opted by everyone and every person giving it a completely different meaning is yet another topic better saved for another thread.
Anyways, my point is that I am getting #NotYourShield flashbacks again from "based" individuals who were pro historical accuracy, pro european culture yesterday and all of a sudden are pro homosexuality and pro historical revisionism today. Sort of like the Gamergate crowd being pro feminism, pro white replacement, pro everything that the radical left stands for BUT they want to say nigger and have hot tiddy women in their games. Again, "scorn leftists". Time is a flat circle, and the right will eternally be cucked.
