What was gamer gate - Too young to know or care about what it was at the time

[Gone Ham]

Genuinely what the fuck was it

 

[Robert w'E'd Leef]

basically assmad retards

 

[DerKryptid]

Gamers walking into a gate until trump got elected

 

[MarquisDeStatic]

bad journalists (women) complaining about people acknowledging their shittyness, and some shit about trump

 

[MrTroll]

The first gaming Intifada, may there be many more to come, Inshallah.

 

[Red Hood]

Gamers took a break from slonking gang weed and rose up

 

[Solid Snek]

Spoiler: It started like this

Spoiler: And then turned into this

Spoiler: Which is why everything you know and love is now this

 

[MoffAlbert]

It's better you don't know about it and just let it fade into obscurity.

 

[Grub]

Even when it was going on, I couldn't really figure it out, something to do with 4Chan/8chan and game journalists/butthurt trannies or something. Pretty sure it was essentially some people said mean things on the internet and people's soft little fee fees were hurt.

• Started with game devs literally sucking off game "journalists," for good reviews
• Moved to trying to censor anything critical of journos
• Journos started being more openly woke
• UN simped for game journos
• Gamers got called terrorists
• Ecelebs got involved
• Became a massive cringefest

Do you understand byuu?

Some people had a disagreement on the internet, so one side decides the other must not be allowed to exist anywhere, even if you can easily ignore them? GG was that. Except instead of troons, you had women (some of which were troons). And instead of a DDoS, you had an internet wide purge. The part where the censors are butthurt they can't literally Thanos snap the other side out of existence (or even ignore them like a normal person) remains the same though.

Zoe Quinn slept with people who then gave her favorable reviews. It leaked that she fucked 5 guys behind her BF's back. Then 4chinz banned any discussion of the topic. 8chan was made bc of this. Then there was a bunch of spergery that I don't understand.

 

[Mr. Bung]

Something worse than a thousand 9/11s. Or at least that's what liberals think.

 

[Uncle Sid]

Something about Pentiums?

 

[Niggernerd]

Gamers got called terrorists

As all real oppressed groups are called

 

[Dom Cruise]

Anita Sarkeesian came along in 2012 and kickstarted cultural in fighting among gamers, two years of growing tension came to a head with Gamergate.

It was an attempt to clean house and kick Woke jackasses out of gaming, sadly it backfired miserably.

Wrong answer.

A gamergate is the Chad Ant of the anthive.

I know Jim doesn't get a lot of love on The Farms nowadays, but his Five Guys video during his Internet Aristocrat days did a wonderful job of explaining the whole sordid situation. It's still worth a watch, even in 2021.

8chan was made bc of this.

8chan existed prior to gamergate. Pretty sure it was because Hotwheels was driven out of wizchan for having sex.
It just happened to be a convenient center for the exodus.
