I wish I could understand the impact gamergate had on men lmao
@teratology i wish activists would go make their own games instead of being parasites.
@icedquinn I just don't get what happened and why it was such a big deal. I was also very young when it happened, like maybe around 10. All I know is zoe Quinn sucked someone's dick or something ? Then men blamed feminism for everything. Idk the details
@teratology @icedquinn The coordinated and continuous shutdown of anyone talking about the initial event (which was basically meaningless) and shutdown of people noticing the shutdown, infuriated people and made the backlash worse, like infinitely worse than if it was just ignored.
All the indie journalists and indie game developers were in the groups, they were often friends, and in many, many cases competition judges and journalists were investors in games that they critiqued.

@Moon @icedquinn @teratology is games journalism even relevant anymore? I feel like literally everyone knows the press is entirely corrupt pieces of shit now.
@icedquinn @Moon @teratology I feel the same way. Everybody says "gamergate lost" but what exactly was the win condition? Shut down the entire press and overthrow the government?

@RustyCrab @icedquinn @Moon @teratology GG had some Ws in getting some ethics policies changed, but lost because the people they exposed are still continuing their grift 10 years later and more often at bigger companies.
@matrix @RustyCrab @icedquinn @Moon either way journos are scum and should never be trusted
