Rewriting goobergate as a white male class awakening has the dual function of rehabing GGrs outside right wing crankery, & gives a more believable backstory, covering the unbelievable truth that it was all because a abusive dick set a mob of angry fash nerds to destroy his ex gf.

I sometimes think some of the fools believing the rewrite do so because they cannot believe that a "movement" would sustain for years based on obvious lies about a lady just because she had the awful misfortune of breaking up with a vindictive boyfriend. It's so wild, I get it.

Back in the day I almost fell for the lies, that there were real "concerns" with ethics in games media, I mean so many people were saying that was the reason & getting so passionate about it surely there must be something substantial at the bottom of it? Turns out, nope!

Things like this made me realise that often huge events in society happen not because of any grand scheme or deep sociological consequences. Sometimes it happens because dipshits are bored & callous enough to ruin people's lives when pointed towards a easy target.

Part of the con is thinking all of this cruelty, the effort & influence, the sheer rage & constant rationalizing of the hurt, that it must ultimately be based on something important, that it had to have meant something. It doesn't, it didn't, it never will.

It has the added benefit of avoiding dogpiling by goobers namesearching the real name, on top of being a more appropriate name for the goobers.

Gamergate was caused by disaffected dudes who put their entire identity into videogames due to living in a society where despite their relative privilege had no upward social mobility. When videogames began to become more diverse, and the media began to criticize traditional

Most those dudes had plenty of upward mobility, they were just pissed it wasn't being handed to them.
