    If you want my honest opinion, gamer gate. it hit at just the right time for a lot of genz boys to be really into gaming at the time and to be dumb enough to just listen to what the people that they watched play games say and believe.

      Yeah as well as the whole of the alt right pipeline.

      Meanwhile for the women, the right was largely offering nlog shit. It was taking away rights and encouraging misogyny in the men their age. This pissed them off which pissed the men off now that they couldn’t get laid

      I really don’t want it to be true, because it’s just such a boring, stupid little bit of corruption. There’s so much fucking corruption in our whole economy, and for them to seize on that of all things and the message they get out of it is “wow, fuck women huh?” Is just boggling.
