You're not wrong, GamerGate for many anons was the first foray into how we noticed the state of the VG journalism industry. Seems sex for good scoops is very much thriving throughout every category of modern journalism, showing just how it's been such a propagandistic sham that reached peak corruption by the late 2000s/early 2010s. And just like with Trump today, anti-GG sycophants threw every Alinskyite insult at those of us who could smell the bullshit PC push into one of the last bastions of entertainment relatively untouched by progressivism.
In short: we just wanted to play our damn vidya gaems.
