Gamergate's a nice convenient boogieman. Nobody sane cares about it anymore, and any negative reactions you get beyond "who fucking cares, it's 2017" will feed into the "uneducated sexists/racists" narrative.Speaking as a guy who likes to play video games but is tired of being mocked by the media for it, and who just gets annoyed at shitty rags that incessantly sell me advertisements disguised as reviews... what the fuck does Trump's election or nazis have to do with me??
They all have to do with some sort of chan memes and anons that were pro-Trump, either legitimately or for the purpose of fucking with people. While they rag on about how Trump and Nazi's rose because gamergate, all other gamers and people playing games are too busy enjoying their hobby or dealing with life to care about people screeching about an autistic screeching match causing the US to have a meme president.Speaking as a guy who likes to play video games but is tired of being mocked by the media for it, and who just gets annoyed at shitty rags that incessantly sell me advertisements disguised as reviews... what the fuck does Trump's election or nazis have to do with me??
This more or less. GamerGate at this point is just a boogeyman for these hanger-ons (and a sort of, for lack of a better word, "security blanket" for the spergs on the other side thinking it still lives on). Normal people aren't really going to give two shits about what some idiot on Twitter has to say about gamergate and every "link" of GamerGate to Trump winning the election also comes off as a way of wanting attention.Gamergate's a nice convenient boogieman.

Basically every justification for "linking" gamergate to Trump winning the white house is a meandering go-nowhere rant that boils down to the author's personal distaste for both groups of people.

They really believe that GamerGate put Trump in teh white house? You got to have a special brand of :autism: to believe that.

Every Antifa was AntiGG before the Trumping.

Yeah, it's just dumb. It's been said before but I guess it's worth repeating: in their minds GG is made up of loser basement-dwellers while simultaneously being the most powerful force in the world....somehow? It's just mind-boggling.If GamerGate was this damn powerful, why do people still defend Zoe Quinn? You think that the gatorcommandos would have taken care of her a long time ago? With their gatorchooper and so on.
In their fantasy, They make Gamergate sound like a big mafia group. It is ludaric. They want to just play game and sperg.
Speaking of Jack Thompson and video games...I love how none of these people remember Jack Thompson and that crying about games promoting violence and misogyny was treated as a joke back when the right were the ones doing it.
But when the industry gets big enough for marketers to take a look at it and internet insults might cost Anita some patreon money suddenly it's a big deal. It's like someone posted here, "normalization" = "I only just noticed this"
if gamergate caused trump to happen, it means that president trump happened because zoe quinn fucked five guys.They all have to do with some sort of chan memes and anons that were pro-Trump, either legitimately or for the purpose of fucking with people.

Anyone who ever cared about Gamergate is an idiot.
Far as the journalist goes, they would no doubt get some ass-pats from the hanger-ons in this thread. Commiesona tried to whiteknight one of them while calling someone an idiot. Meanwhile, 9volt tried making some sort of joke or jab at gamers regarding a game journalist and pewdiepie. Really though, whatever there was, one could count on clickbait and such being part of this group.I never cared about it too much, but it was still interesting to find out just how far into the SJW cult a lot of these (((journalists))) are, and how interconnected media outlets are.
Oh my god, PinkishDawnya won't shut up about MomBot.Edit: In regards to commiesona, he apparently cooperated with someone that tried to get into some slapfight with Twitter sperg Mombot.
