The MRAs and Redpillers were right there when it started. I remember how they humiliated XSEED and forced them to issue an apology during the Senran Kagura SJW shitshow. I knew GG was doomed from day one just from that one event. Also from the fact that Zoe Quinn set them off, a girl who got 5 guys laid.
This. It was no coincidence that someone who fit every single stereotype they had against the SJW (danger hair, tattoos, piercings, female, etc) set it off despite the time it's been known that they only care for each other.
Anyone capable of thought doesn't give two cents about GG.
GG was /pol/ working within /v/. The only thing that it had to do with /v/ was that video games were the trigger. But the fact that it was dragged into a war against the SJW from the get go instead of video game journalism (or attacks against the common enemy, Kotaku even though Polygon was the worst offender), and the constant rehashing of the Le Happy Merchant and other /pol/ memes showed that they were running the show.
For pro-GG individuals like @Jaimas you had more pro-GG speds like Homer using Twitter to signal the same thing over and over like a dead horse. As with inter-group drama, you had those that just want ethics but then things like InternetAristocrat wanting it to be a kick in the nuts exposure of SJW's derails that. As for bringing SJW's into wider consciousness, there's already some universities showcasing their idiocy that Fox News could pick up. If anything, all GG did was get Brianna Wu onto television and having a Law & Order episode involving gamer terrorist.
Between salty at a woman benefitting from this and optimistic individuals thinking the journalism scene wasn't all that corrupt, they did at least bring some good idiots to laugh at, not just from the anti side but from their own side as well. Anyone remembering Lord Balderdash could remember whatever GG sperging he did such as thinking SJW's will kill us all.
It's just a prank bro
Any attempt at shitposting was already drowned out by autism and even then, the shitpost claim is on par with one claiming to be trolling in that it acts as a way of one trying to deflect the fact they're being an idiot.
Even if it's shitposting, not everyone is familiar with the term and even then, burden of proof is on him because not many are convinced it was just a shitpost.
Correct. There's nothing to indicate it's just a shitpost. A casual observer would interpret that as a legitimate threat. You can't use "I was only kidding" as a defense when by all appearances it looks like you weren't.
