Historytubers seem to be taking an interest in Gamergate.

Oh man...
 
And like so, narratives get massaged because that's how these types want things to be like instead of how they actually were.

Always reassuring when someone calling themselves a "historian" gets the basic facts incorrect right out of the gate.
Eron Gjoni has never been a game journalist. He was a nobody goon working at a biotech company when he posted a tumblr-style callout blog of his ex (aka he was doing something originating in a community that was the farthest thing from alt-right), who mistakenly thought his post would be well received by fellow goons at Something Awful. Once he didn't have a gag order hanging over his head, he went back to being a bog-standard awkward quiet programmer dude.
The only reason the Zoe Post went anywhere was because of the massively over-the-top outrage to censor what had otherwise been tawdry bedroom drama that would've been all but forgotten in a week.

Your post became more prescient since Wu is making a GamerGate series.

Should have opened with Milo or Matt Forney. Much more effective.

I have a vague idea that Milo is now some totally not-gay Catholic traditionalist, but whatever happened to Matt Forney? Wow. Next people will be mentioning KingOfPol or something.
 
God, I remember Gamergate spergs. What a gang of embarrassing shitheads. They were fighting against some of the most obvious grifters to have walked the planet and still managed to look worse.

I remember disagreeing with one of the girls who were pro-GG (and hastily locked everything down when she got a real job) and had to spend three days muting retarded autistic simps with anime avatars rushing to defend their Twitter queen.

Absolute spastics. It was an easy win thrown away by sub-/b/ tier buffoonery.

Rather than simply having their own review sites they ran a children’s crusade against the industry sites and gave the feminist grifters a meal ticket for life.

Super weird that the anti-GG grifters can still make a living whilst only Sargon from the GG still able to pay his mortgage.

He still got fired from Applebees
 
It's been seven years since GG happened, and six since it ended. I am one of a very small number of people who went out of their way to chronicle the lead-up, the initiation, and the conclusion of the Autism holy war, as well as its subsequent fallout. It's without exception one of the most important events to Lolcow Chronicleers, an infinitely renewable resource whose ramifications are still being felt to this day for those with the eye to see it. It was a stupid event when it happened, and it's still stupid now.

But that doesn't lessen its importance.

Mind, the important lessons from it will ultimately mostly be remembered by very few; everyone else will simply either go on trying to milk a dead horse or pretending that the whole thing was somehow avoidable in some capacity, like the bullshit leading to it hadn't been building up for half a decade or more of real time. In truth, something like GG happening was not only an inevitability, but that we actually collectively lucked out in in brewing up the way it did. Likewise, the way shit went down, and the idiocy we saw before, during, and after its brew-up were equally inescapable, not that most of the shitposters here to laugh at the retarded monkey doing the dance will acknowledge it.

The true lessons of GG were not the exposure of the indie games circuit as being a corrupt clusterfuck, nor is it the babby version of JournoList we got with Game Journo Pros. It wasn't shit like the Arthur Chu bomb threats, the glory that was Jace versus Brianna Wu leading to Wu being absolutely railed by the FBI for wasting so much time and resources, or the infinite number of tards on both sides we got to make fun of, several of whom are still around and mockable to this day. Nor are the lessons in the depressing, miserable shit like KIA in general or how multiple communities were maligned without ever getting a chance to even pretend to have the chance to defend themselves.

The people who claim GG didn't accomplish anything are missing the point; the deck was completely stacked since before it ever happened. The people who caused GG to happen were preparing a power-play within the industry for almost half a decade. Shit like GJP getting exposed wasn't a coincidence, it was part of an ongoing attempt to politicize otherwise banal avenues of entertainment because god forbid you fuckers playing vidya be allowed to ever have an escape vector from politics. The game was rigged from the start, and the victory of GG was not in accomplishing anything on its own, but showing how deep the rot went, how much it caused the scales to fall away from people's eyes, and just how completely the foundations we took for granted had been eroded.

Watching the Law and Order GG episode, Intimidation Game, is still the most unintentionally funny thing ever, mind you.

Gamergate has been dead for years, yet a whole bunch of people still use it as a bogeyman. Very good write up.
