The whole GamerGate thing is depressing.
It was the opportunity to finally kick the teeth in of social justice warriors and tumblerettes and draw a fucking line in the sand and push back against all these hypersensitive cunts and for a while it was working really, really, well. All you had to do was attack. See that's the trick, that's why I love /pol/ so fucking much. People think you need to be a moderate or an independent or a neutral. They're wrong. You need to pick an extreme. You need to pick a side with a yes or a no answer. That's how you attract people to you. If you're too focused on being a moderate. If you try to approach the middle, to appeal to moderates? You become indistinguishable from them and your message becomes diluted and as time went on that's what happened to GamerGate and it's too fucking painful to watch happen anymore.
Don't believe me? Go look at this for yourself /ggrevolt/. Go look at the people who are prominent figures right now in GamerGate and see how many of them have indiegogo campaigns, how many of them have kickstarter campaigns, how many of them have patreons, how many of them are ads, you know, have ad revenue on their fucking videos. Everybody’s making a buck. And they're all making a buck doing the same shit the people we were supposed to be fighting against were doing. They're crying harassment and then making money off of it. And it's fucking bullshit. But they don't seem to mind. And then add on top of that all the SJW language, all the SRS bullshit, where you hear them using words like "toxic" and "signal boost" and "tone police" and all the other thirteen year old girl fucking phrases and terms that shouldn't be anywhere associated with this.
You had to do just one thing, attack, attack, attack. Keep the pressure up and your opponent, in this case, corrupt media and the SJW cultural Marxist bullshit. They'll fold. They'll make a mistake and make themselves look stupid, like Sam Biddle did, like other people did. And you capitalize off of that.
The saddest fucking thing out of all of this is: it wasn't mainstream media, it wasn't multi-million dollar corporations, it wasn't corrupt journalists and it wasn't social justice warriors that killed GamerGate. GamerGate shot itself in the foot by becoming what they were fighting. And that is just too much to fucking handle. It's just, I can't, I couldn't watch it happen anymore. They don't know what they're doing.
