Social Justice is just the PC Term of Civil Rights. Its because the latter is linked with African Americans and you cant have rich white liberals with the gentrification projects in their hearts use something so "banal" as the word Civil Rights. But Civil Rights (both the word and its actions) defeated the southern power structures that made actual human beings second class citizens of the place of their birth and gave inspiration to the other movements of the 70's. Why the fuck you leave a word that works to go for one that one that is causing so much bullshit?

[Novid]

GG started because a guy wanted to say some people who claimed to be all about social justice and feminism are actually messed up and abusive. I'd say he's been pretty well validated over the last couple of years

I'd say it truly started when NeoGAF, SA, 4chan, and Reddit all mass censored discussion on the whole Zoe Quinn thing. THEN a bunch of publications put up the "Gamers are dead!" spiel all at one time, revealing that these people collude (which I think was confirmed as the mailing list or whatever was leaked).

I'm still convinced that had the discussion not been censored, people would have gotten bored of it and GamerGate would have never happened.

Comic books seem to be going through a similar thing right now, though it was more or less started when Marvel changed a bunch of characters to claim diversity points. It didn't help that the new characters were badly written, either. Then you have the writers of these comics shitting on their fans at every turn pissing even more people off...

I swear, California seems like a creepy fucking place.

I mean on the comic books side their is a video from the writer of Squirrel Girl with a 7 year old, and its so fucking sad to see. The 7 year old has more actual and emotional intelligence then the writer of SG. That should just tell you something.

The term is definitely not only about race and civil rights, only fucking Americans that are so obsessed with identity politics would think that way. It's more about economics and existed before our corporate overlords started the their divide and conquer tactics again using identity politics to distract the morons. Of course it includes race but that's not the main point of the term.

[paprikastaude]

Did GG even have any real reach outside of fucking GAF itself? Never heard of it anywhere and in fact I thought it was a GAF-movement for the longest time when that "it's about ethics"-thread was always bumped and I never cared to click it. Seemed like a bunch of worthless kid rants to me, easy to ignore. Always loled at the people delusional enough to believe that this GG thing spawned into Trump victory or some equal nonsense. Or that there was literal nazis behind animu avatars (right, ask a literal neonazi what his favorite loli is, please - just be aware you might wake up in a hospital).

The real reason why GG focused on Quinn and sexual relationships instead of corporate shilling is cause they are basement dwelling virgins. That's pretty much it, regardless of what else there was, that was the primary reason.

See we have a problem here, and i think im gonna try clear this up, one like I said before - this should have been handled by a relationship counselor on the onset. Two, Quinn and Sark were covers because the corps were shilling with the editors of these gaming sites. Three, it blew up because the sites started to use the cover story to keep the corp shilling machine going. We dont doubt there was harassment, but thats part of the Psyop.

You cant have 100 BILLION dollar enterprise and not have SOME government interference that has nothing to do with medicare or taxes...i mean shit Anime as a genre is about the topple the rest of the animation industry in 3 years due to its sheer size and oh look - the problematic "issues" and virtue siginaling are there too.
