Yup, Gamergate's ashes is what gave birth to the alt-right. Total watershed moment for America. Yup. You got it!

You're pretty crazy if you don't see the similarity between the two groups.

Tactics, ideology, hell they even share alot of the same "spokepeople".

Then again I'm talking to the person that think's this admin isn't leaky and the Russia-gate is a nothingburger.  :doge

And yes I'd say Nazi's openly being a part of public perception and politics is a watershed moment for us yes.

They're similar. Same axe to grind. I just think drawing a straight arrow from Gamergate to the alt-right is really wacky.

Straight arrow? No. But that Venn diagram has a lot of damn overlap. It's no coincidence Milo supported both movements and they're is a good case it evolved from it.

In other US news.

The gamer gate is now governed by lootboxes. Random chance to get in the alt-right now.

Funny you'd mention Milo since he wrote an entire guide to the composition and origin of the alt-right and nowhere does it mention Gamergate.

And yet his stink is all over gamergate.

I don't understand why people want to downplay or forget gamergate? It was a vile movement that served no purpose.

It happened. To consider it as a cause of the alt right instead of a symptom (as some people have been prone to do over those places) is pretty laughable however. There's not really anything in the US alt right you won't find in decade old movements in Europe (or well... In the US) and far right militants have long understood the power of the Internet to disseminate alternative viewpoints.

Gamergate is only so useful in that for people familiar with gaming it's an interesting study case of how simmering mundane beliefs (the distrust of gaming press who was a throwaway cliché tossed around for the last 15 years and more of something akin to complaining about slow bureaucracy or late trains, an half truth accepted as a fact of life) can explode and be harnessed by political agendas.

I mean remember when Anonymous was an headline item ? They certainly did more (insofar you can credit them) than Gamergate. Did the latter did anything of note besides harassing a bunch of minor gaming celebrities and gathering at a Five Guys ? I wonder if the need by some to constantly prop up GG as utterly significant to national politics (instead of, let's say, the Tea Party or birtherism) is not a perverse way for geeks crippled with envy to convince themselves gaming is culturally significant to be honest.

GG was My Little Political Movement for a population heavily bent on consumerism and a media largely dominated by shallowness (more so than other forms of artistic expressions at this moment).

Calling it a 'movement' is really grandiose. It was just a collection of assholes that weighed on a 'topic of the day' on the internet.

It's just knee-jerk misogyny and has existed for decades. Finding commonalities in other knee-jerk ideologies should be no surprise.

Oh?

Quote
By the end of the thread, McCarthy made it clear that these trolls are part of the "alt-right." "The problem I'm stating here is not that 'there are trolls on the internet' but that people who proclaim to be on our side are trying to tear down women in our in-group," she wrote.

Another self-described "conservative woman" also had a problem with her movement's underlying culture. In a video titled, "Why I'm Not Married," Lauren Southern responded to the backlash she received for pushing "traditional family values" and trying to tear down feminism — while not turning into a baby-making machine, herself.

"I am not trying to sell the idea that myself, as a 22-year-old, needs to be married right now for the sake of traditionalism and not being a degenerate," Southern said in a YouTube video. "What is also just completely shocking to me is the utter lack of understanding of nuance."

Southern said that women should be able to choose their own life path and not be attacked for it, which sounds like what women have been shouting for a few decades now.

While McCarthy would like to see racism without the sexism in the white supremacist movement
— and Southern would appreciate it if anti-feminist women were given the ability to choose for themselves what kind of life they want to lead — it's worth wondering if these women are liberal.
Oh!

That last one especially. :betty

This 3-hit combo is pure satire.

"Southern would appreciate it if anti-feminist women were given the ability to choose for themselves what kind of life they want to lead"

I mean bannon specifically focused on Milo because of his work in gamergate and explicitly said he was targeting the same group of young alienated white dudes. It's not a Pokemon style direct evolution, but there's reason there's a near 100% overlap between the t_d and kia crowd

You're a distinguished mentally-challenged fellow if you really think it was that. It was lied about by the press it was criticizing. You can think gaming press is too much of a joke to care about, but if that's so then you shouldn't suddenly take that press seriously when they start calling everything bigots.

It's not reelvant to the alt-right, but it was a case study of problems for the sjw types to come.

I dunno what you mean by kia. But citation please. I hear what you're saying about the "rootless white male" as Bannon called them. Like I said, they've got the same axe to grind. But I was just responding to thehunter's weirdly phrased "rose from the ashes of gamergate" statement. As if the alt right is its spiritual successor. :lol It's the kind of weird delusional narrative I'd only expect to hear from someone who frequents Resetera as much as he does.

kotaku in action is the subreddit that started out as gamergate centric and has since basically just become a mirror of the donald. I can't find the quote from Bannon that I'm thinking of, but he basically says he initially hired Milo because he how admired how well Milo resonated amongst the audience he was seeking. Regardless, know one knew who the fuck Milo until he started banging the drums of gamergate, and by 2015 Bannon not only hired him but gave him his own section as Breitbart Tech. I don't see how it's a stretch to say the latter lead to the former

Except not. People did so and they did so often, and then the reaction is closing their ears and going LALALALA or saying "well I never really cared anyways".

We are about ten minutes away from someone wanting the whole topic stopped because I called attention to the public image of it being a lie.

A few things. The initial drama of a journalist sleeping with a game dev. The discovery of bigger conflicts of interest. Then the censoring of the discussion about it on various platforms. The Gamers are Dead aticles ignited it the most, since it was a talentless group of writers acting like their audience was human filth in comparison to them. Nerds are apt to be exploited financially, but if you treat them in any way like they got treated growing up? Prepare for some angry motherfuckers. And the superiority felt by these media folk mostly came from the SJW cult mentality, which most people reject. (That's not an alright thing. Everyone hates them, because they act like twats.) Within this, there was trolling, harassing and doxxing that went back and forth on every side but comitted by a small minority and often by outsiders. Something a troll loves is to attack someone and have the person they attack blame it on someone else. The FBI wasted money investigating all this, found a bunch of nothing besides a few SA forum goers copy-pasting memes to people.

Why was the reaction from the press not the same when Rab Florence kicked off a similar discussion? Could it be that there was something else you're conveniently forgetting to mention, which lead to the Gamers are Dead article and general attitude towards anything Gamergate?

I get it, but it feels p misguided and self-important to attribute the alt-right movement in any capacity to gaming culture; it's a hobby the majority of young men left or right engage with, it's almost statistically meaningless to draw that conclusion. The venn diagram of 'western male under 30' and 'plays videogames' is a near perfect circle, and distracts from the fact misogyny, ethno-nationalism, many of the shit rife in 'alt-right' ideology has been a systemic issue in society for ages, and prominent in any forum that happens to be dominated by men.

Vegas also had Sheldon Adelson buy the Review-Journal last year. He tried to keep it secret so reporters wound up doing an investigation to the sale of their own paper. I'm pretty sure everyone who was involved in that series of stories has "moved on" since then.

Now there's that high-minded chivalry towards others we all love about etiolate.

.

... how magnanimous etiolate is in conversation despite the verbal abuse he gets.

classic forum heel shit mayn, u love to hate him, he loves to be hated. v important part of the narrative. we've certainly had less po-faced, interesting heels in the past though. but it's a matter of perspective.

A few things. The initial drama of a journalist sleeping with a game dev. The discovery of bigger conflicts of interest. Then the censoring of the discussion about it on various platforms. The Gamers are Dead aticles ignited it the most, since it was a talentless group of writers acting like their audience was human filth in comparison to them. Nerds are apt to be exploited financially, but if you treat them in any way like they got treated growing up? Prepare for some angry motherfuckers. And the superiority felt by these media folk mostly came from the Social Studies Warrior cult mentality, which most people reject. (That's not an alright thing. Everyone hates them, because they act like twats.) Within this, there was trolling, harassing and doxxing that went back and forth on every side but comitted by a small minority and often by outsiders. Something a troll loves is to attack someone and have the person they attack blame it on someone else. The FBI wasted money investigating all this, found a bunch of nothing besides a few SA forum goers copy-pasting memes to people.

This is the weirdest blob of vague rambling I’ve read in awhile and I still don’t understand what it is I’m supposed to care about more than the vile shite I’ve seen come pouring out of people wrapped up in it

On another note, seems like the right-wing echo chambers have really latched onto Mueller firing Peter Strzok to spin a whole slew of conspiracies and advance the whole "partisan witch hunt" nonsense.

It's in the wheelhouse of the sort of Seth Rich, Uranium One type conspiracies I can see getting a Trump tweet bump or two in the next few days(If it hasn't already and I missed it).  Which of course probably just moves us a little closer to the fairly probable Trump firing of Mueller as his base and media continues to radicalize on it.

Seth Rich was killed because he knew the truth about gamer gate.
