I do wonder if the likes of Zoe Quinn, Brianna Wu, Anita Sarkeesian, the "Gen Z boss and a mini" girls, Sweet Baby Inc. etc. ever reflect on their seemingly innocuous actions leading to the downfall of the US through the elections of Trump and the radicalisation of culture warrior retards who don't actually know or care about policy, would be a weird feeling to have.
These are really marginal figures who are unknown to anyone who isn't highly online (except Wu, who ran for congress) and their fame is due entirely to right wing spergouts. There were some interesting twists and turns during GG, but the people driving things were crybullies who became fixated on any journalists who said bad things about them. Quinn didn't even do anything but possibly fuck guys for positive reviews of her game. There are some cyber Rambos out there for whom Gamergate is never over, but how many of them are there, realistically? A few thousand?
If you need to find leftists to blame, just look at trannies and neo-black supremacist groups. These groups actually act in the real world and affect normal people, and they are also known for expressing a lot of hostility towards white women and the kind of feminism that was trendy during Gamergate. Trump also didn't talk much about feminists during 2016 and 2020, but in 2024 stopping trannies from neutering children and putting an end to looting and arson were popular talking points that Democrats had no real answer to.
