Also Gamergate apparently started in 2012 now because Anita is a champion against sexism etc.

Because attacks on Sarkeesian marked the beginning of a cultural shift -- and a key marker in what some people consider the decline of civil discourse. What happened to Sarkeesian is that internet trolls, predominantly anonymous posters, realized they could work together to try to destroy the lives of people who disagreed with them. The online hate directed at Sarkeesian and her project over Twitter, Facebook and Reddit included calling her a slut, threatening to rape and kill her and suggesting someone should go to her parents' home (which they identified) and kill them too.
That was just beginning.
A few years later, anonymous online trolls threatened to rape and kill indie game developer Zoë Quinn after her ex-boyfriend posted a 9,000-word online screed accusing her of sleeping with a games journalist for a positive review.
The whole campaign against Sarkeesian, Quinn and other women became known as #GamerGate.

For her part, Wu said it's normal now that every time she speaks in public, there has to be a bomb sweep. And threats of rape, death and other violence have become so common she doesn't even track them anymore. "I had a brick thrown through my window of my house a few weeks ago," she said.
But Wu isn't just accepting it. If the mission of these mobs is to silence people with different views, then they've lost when it comes to her. She's running for Congress in 2018 in Massachusetts. The only way forward she can see is changing the law. She intends to make that happen.
"For all the horrors that are going on right now, I think it's awakened literally millions of people out there in America to stand up and get involved and make a difference," Wu said.

Was this article sent through a time machine or something? I swear I read the same one last month, and another three years ago.
 
They just won't leave this corpse buried. It's all they have to show because all the people involved have accomplished little to nothing since.
 
They sure love to beat a dead horse and keep on bringing up an obscure group featuring manchildren to make them stay relevant.

And if these people are the reason Trump was elected, why did they respond to Wolfenstein II by just autistic screeching?
 
The decline of civil discourse can only he reversed by blaming all problems on the political spectrum opposite of yours and calling anyone who disagrees with you a bigot.
 
Never mind Obama's first term with the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street, the establishment's collapse after Romney lost, and/or rapefugee crisis in Europe Obama wanted to emulate in his second term and Hillary wanting to increase it, because it was all about vidya.

This idiot doesn't even remember Habbo Hotel, what a retard. That's when Gamergate really started.

Didn't at least a few of the pro-gg people end up doing at least ok i.e. some of the YouTubers still have decently popular channels and some of the devs have created some well-received games? Granted it seems like those are also the people who don't really bring it up anymore and didn't use it as their single source of fame and income (like most of the antis).

If even Anita is starting to come out of hibernation to REEEEEEEEEE again I guess even she's finally starting to run out of pitybux. She always struck me as being a little more savy than Quinn or especially Wu in that it seemed like she only REEE'D as much as necessary to get people to throw money at her, then retreated back to her hoard of hoop earrings and cheap lipstick. I guess her sjw enablers have lost interest in her, I mean she's not even black or a troon so it's not like she'd be the most desirable thing for them to waste their money on these days.

We used to live in a time of scarce information. Knowledge was power that few people had access to.

Today, we live in an age of too much information. Forget "fake news." Even if all that noise was signal, we can't evaluate all of it. We aren't knowledgeable enough, and we don't have enough time, and we can't handle that level of choice. And most of us don't have strong enough egos to sift through info that might contradict our closely-held beliefs. So instead, we seek out narratives that make us feel good, comport with what we already believe. Too much information has made us less open-minded, not more.

And in an age like this one, why bother writing a new article? (Or telling the truth, for that matter?) Who is going to check? There's too much information, so most people won't notice. And you need those clicks, so just reword an old article and draw that shrinking ad revenue from either a different group of people who didn't notice the first article or from the same people who just want to feel good about their beliefs and aren't too discerning.
 
Nathan Grayson was saying this last November, iirc. I remember it because it was one of the most embarrassing things I've ever seen in my life. I guess he really wants his dick to be that important. It's definitely not a new claim, because I've seen it repeatedly since then. I think CNN even tried to link it up at one point.

Unlike when Gamergate was still a thing, no one but their tiny little clique is buying it any more, btw.

Anita got rid of McIntosh, and has Maya "Felix" Kramer now, the industry agent that smartly kept her head down and kept getting work behind the scenes. She almost completely avoided the whole shebang.

Gamergate isn't even a thing anymore. Anyone still taking it seriously is retarded.
