Part of me wonders if it weren't for GameGate, the culture war, etc, how many of these political e-celebs and online commentators (real ones not CIA plants) would've followed their path into being a gamedev, comic artist, etc. It seems like a lot of them were originally going down that path, but got distracted by SJWs, the alt-right, GamerGate, etc and realized that that was their calling. I bet many of them are pissed by now realizing it was all a psyop and that politics has ruined their lives.
