How Gamergate foreshadowed the toxic hellscape that the internet has now become.

I met a gamergate weirdo on Lemmy today
It's crazy and sad that they still exist. That shit was a decade ago.

Gamergate was at least easy to ignore. I still don't really know what it was about. Always seemed like pointless internet drama to me. That may or may not be true but it hasn't been a problem to stay ignorant about the topic. You can't ignore what's happening now unless you don't use the internet at all and even that isn't going to be completely effective.

This isn't about debating tactics, this is about power.
Convincing a lot of people you are correct is a form of power.

In a time when I read this kind of news on Gamespot or GameSpy. G8tv and a lot of convention goers that became internet famous before twitch existed. The "gamergate" news happened at the worst time in the gaming industry where game reviewers were bribed for a 10/10 clipart seal. And the shady stuff happening with cosplay cons... Etc it only concerned people in the business.

Innuendo Studios, maker of The Alt Right Playbook, has an earlier series specifically on this topic in Why are you so angry.

His privilege is shining brightly though.

It's very eye opening. It troubles me that now that I know what those tricks are, I can see it used in the Alt Left as well as the Alt Right, but whichever direction it is applied in, the real trick is how to spot the difference between Truth vs. Lies.

It must be nice to have the capacity to care about everything, everywhere, all the time. That sounds like the height of privilege.
