If the true believers had waited another year or more to make their play, 4chan / Reddit would have been completely subverted, TB would have been too busy dying of cancer to get involved, MundaneMatt would have probably given up on YT instead of covering and being DMCA'd over it, Milo would have moved on to greener pastures, et cetera. We would have seen a situation like comics, where if you don't espouse the virtues of Social Justice you just don't get work, period.
Thankfully for us, as GG, CG, ThotGate, and the Weeb Wars have shown, you have the alpha SJWs (Anita, Zoe, etc) who set the narrative et all, and the beta SJWs (Rial, Marchi, Wu, etc) who don't understand the finer points of all this but know how to join in a lynch mob when one forms. And the latter cause so, so much more harm to the SocJus priesthood than almost anything else.
There was an old DiGRA minutes I read back in the day that was talking about needing to re-educate people through games. And you could see the games media moving in that same direction. I think the Quinnspiracy thing wasn't planned, it was simply that the media and marketers that were in that idealogical frame of mind reacting to what they saw as an attack by opposition who they saw as misogynists, nazis, anti-communists, etc.... suddenly the woke people in the entire games industry were closing ranks. And people on the outside actually got to see how many people sympathetic and supportive of their cause had been in plain sight the whole time, because suddenly they were dehumanizing the the people criticizing them. The sort of behavior you usually see from Radical Islamists. It was kinda scary really how twisted their sense of reality was. The ends justified the means to a lot of those people.
