@wowaname @Milo @PurpCat @S-Config @RK7 @Hephaestic From what I've been told, before GamerGate it was used as a place for other altchans to create bunkers.

@wowaname @Milo @PurpCat @S-Config @RK7 @Hephaestic Virtually every gaming circle had at least one person talking about it. It may have caused a lot of people (not just 4chan) to leave certain communities after said communities made their official stance on the issues. It also brought attention to several alternative sites that would've never gotten popular otherwise (8chan being the most notable example). It truly did change Internet culture.

I think it was virtually impossible to ignore it as a gamer unless you're one of the few people who simply just play video games and never discuss them online or consume any gaming-relating content online.

>In particular; it's because rage and drama and arguing breed interactions; especially with the right demographic for this.

I used to be into that stuff back in my late high school and college years, but I can barely stand to even look at that stuff anymore. I actually regret being into that stuff because I wasted a lot of time when I could've used that time to study for school or practice programming. Pretty much every celebrity who took part of any side of GamerGate or the culture war turned out to be a huge grifter and/or lolcow anyway.

@PurpCat @Milo @S-Config @wowaname The JewWario and ProJared (even though he didn't actually fuck his fans) situations taught me that very well.

@PurpCat @Milo @S-Config @wowaname It will always anger me that the indie game scene is the epicenter of this behavior. A lot (if not most) people just want to see the imaginary worlds that they've been dreaming since childhood come to reality and probably never envisioned getting into such drama.

Though I'm not familiar with this game so I have no side to pick on this one.

@wowaname @Milo @PurpCat @S-Config Oh okay, but you also need people to realize that a bad poster will sometimes make a good post.

@wowaname @Milo @PurpCat @S-Config It's not "imageboard mentality". I doubt most Poast users ever touched an imageboard. They were probably watching alt-right/dissident right Youtubers/podcasters before Poast came around, given that they still talk about them like it's 2017. At least 8chan had a disdain for such e-celebs.

And I think "egoistical pitfalls" will always happen unless you have complete anonymity. If you cause enough drama, someone will start archiving and cataloging everything you have posted and put them up on a pastebin, wiki, forum thread, etc.

@wowaname @Milo @PurpCat @S-Config It's not. It's a rich-text pastebin and a replacement for wikis.
