Just what was Gamergate?
5 2018-05-25 by zappapostrophe
I vaguely remember it happening, wasn't some woman fucking Kotaku writers for better reviews on her games? And then when people got mad about it, SJWs claimed it was sexist?
I'm very unclear on the matter.

It happened 3 years ago. Basically it started with this woman Zoe Quinn's boyfriend airing her "dirty laundy" and accusing her of sleeping with writers for good game reviews.

There's also some stuff about the allegations on GamerGhazi wiki: https://www.reddit.com/r/GamerGhazi/wiki/armory

Basicaly.
A whale - I think she was a transexual male, slept with a bunch of video game reviwers. Said whale decidedd "fuck the patriarchy, I wanna make a video game because women do everything better than men. espeicially women who were once men.".
So she made a game that was a burning pile of shit. But it got positive reviews from the one sight that was promoting it and it sold fairly well despite people haitng it and asying it was shit.
A couple months later, her ex-boyfriend basically exposed that said empowered video game make was fucking basically every video game reviewer in town.
Then, people got pissed and started sayign they want transparancy: If you are fucking the person who made a game - yhou shdould reveil it.
Anyways. Said game websites, in an effort to save safe, basically said: "gamers are sexist. It doesn't matter that this bitch fucked a buncha our dudes."
Said girl then went to the UN and gave a speach about sexism. Becuase women.
So thats basically. it.

A result of the whole fucked up generation of kids who got participation trophies just for showing up. It made them think whatever drivel spews from their mouth had value of any sort, so when they weren't being heralded as the new saviors of humanity they started screaming oppression.

It's actuallya botu ethics in games journalism.

Which group did you think I was talking about when I called out the fucked up generation of kids who got participation trophies?

Ask /u/pizzashill he was "heavily involved"
But I digress. Gamers got mad because women did a thing so all the media got together to say "gamers are dead" since that worked well for al Sharpton hating on kendrick Lamar music or some shit.
Some women decided to get themselves harassed to get patreon dollars, one of the women actually harassed candace Owens out of the vidja industry making her a redpill neonazi.

Indie hipsters circle jerked other hipsters to make cash but spergs didnt like it and demanded the circle jerking stopped.
In response, the hipsters said they were being brutally anal raped by fedora wearers. Lol.

Gamergate is a drama goldmine. I dont try to understand it or figure out who is wrong or right. I just know peoples panties in a twist over a non issue. People say it paved the way for politics in 2016, but that is just because 2014 and 2016 are 2 years apart, so people involved in gamergate also talked about the election.

After all the other discussion, some good points were made and some stupid ones, but really it all boils down to shitty parenting. On all sides. Video game addiction is real, and an insidious problem.
But even that can be further broken down into and murky swamp of economies and societal philosophies that neither encourage or educate or support parents taking proper care of the upbringing of their little ones.
Poorly supported and raised children whose parents allowed them to become addicted to video game "culture" because of a myriad of complex reasons.
