I’m not convinced gamergate should matter to anybody. It’s a stupid pissing contest gotten into by people whose egos far outsized their accomplishments. Everybody involved with it should feel shame, but they won’t.

As I recall, Paul Revere was a silversmith who made hoity-toity tea sets.

How's that for accomplishments?

Of course, he was an engraver, and helped to change the attitude of the country then... but as far as real accomplishments? Tea sets? Really?

Everybody involved with it should feel shame, but they won’t. I agree it is totally gross, and conservatives should stay far away. The root of this is one loser dude who got pissed his girlfriend cheated on him, and to get revenge dumped all her personal info on the internet. Anyone with a sense of decency should turn their back on this, and hope it dies. Getting involved is just fuel for the social justice warriors anyway.

It does matter because the SJW/Whiteknight-d0chenozzles managed to shut down all of one side of the discussion. What Zoe Quim did or did not do to her boyfriend is immaterial to the question of whether the leftwing point of view is going to entirely prevail on the Internet. Doxxing, hacking and DDoS’ing all opposition is just the digital version of what leftists have been doing since Murrow’s Boys took over the agenda. Dismissing leftwing censorship as a mud-wrestling content without sympathetic characters isn’t going to make it stop.
