You know, we tend to gloss over it, here, but there's something to this.
David has always been one of the most ardent and aggressive male feminists. He was always pushing for escalation during CON's heydey, he was always in the vanguard when attacking enemies of the clique, and he was arguably the first one to charge headfirst over the line during his "GGers should be all deplatformed" nonsense.
But you know what we know about Male Feminists by now. The louder and more obnoxious they are, the higher the likelihood that they're a sex offender or something equally horrific. It's very clear that David did something in the long-forgotten past that he wanted to keep buried, and his being a shrill and strident Nu-Male was a compensation response. All it can do is leave us with the question:
"What was David Gallant talking about? What did he do?"
We may never know. It might be something so minor dating back to his childhood that no one would ever care about, or it could be something so foul that no one would ever be willing to associate with him again. We'll never really know now, and I both lament and am thankful for this in equal measure.
It may take years to find out, but we will find out in the end. Just look at what happened with Neogaf. There's probably a post out there somewhere talking about him. Also, wasn't he always going to coffee shops to talk to developers in Toronto because he was desperate to be in that clique? Or am I thinking of another guy who wasn't actually interested in games there?
