@matrix The article mentions all the logical problems with games+violence made in the past, but then makes crazy logical jumps between the culture of gamers and Internet memes and white supremacy. The author totally ignores those who started the gamergate movement who were totally after fame/money, made bullshit arguments alienating a group they were never a part of to begin with in order to promote ideas of victimization and "othering"

@djsumdog She makes crazy jumps in logic, but they again look fairly similar to the Satanic panic.

She doesn't mention that, probably because the article isn't about GG, but she is at least partially aware of it, but completely dismisses it, at least from what I can get from a excerpt from her book.
