I remembered watching this video from Xanderhal who isn't the smartest leftist, but there was something pretty interesting that he said regarding Gamergate.
The narrative that these people have of GG is that it started from some guy who was an "
angry incel." "He was just angry that Zoe dumped him!!!"
What? She was cheating on him during their relationship. There is an interesting idea going around in these communities that "
None of that ever happened! They're all right-wing propaganda lies!!111!"
It did happen though. Did we go through the same things? You can even find the evidence from Eron Gjoni's zoepost where he has chatlogs of Zoe admitting that she slept with Nathan Grayson and several other people. I really don't care about the moralsplaining people may do, but why are people disagreeing on basic facts? Facts which are fundamental in understanding how things turned out the way they did. GG was perhaps the progenitor of mainstream fake news. There is also a strange thing going around here in that people think she got a review or something. The only thing she received was positive coverage for her game. There is a youtube video where someone made an excellent succinct summary of GG in that it was a grifter's game: Sargon, Anita, Brianna Wu, Milo, Zoe Quinn. Nothing changed. There is less female representation than the era before GG. Companies are still sexually harassing and abusing their employees; all the while being more predatory towards their consumer base. Damn. What do we have at the end of it all? Crumbtubers making shit videos about how "the right-wing!!!" "muh politics!!"
