While some of their language has changed, the sentiment of this latest aggressive movement is just as distressing. It’s time for the games industry to stand up to it

It never went away in the first place

Yes, last I checked, one of their prime hate forums r/KotakuInAction was still active, and still filled with the most pathetic little insects seething about the fact that women and minorities exist in media. Gamergate has never really ended. Most people just stopped paying attention to these fools.

Unfortunately, that's easy for me to say, since I'm not on the receiving end of their doxxing and death threats.

I haven't had the best life, but I just can't fathom being such a total loser that I'd ever get that worked up over something like video games.

    My crosspost to gaming@beehaw.org doesn't seem to have any downvotes, so maybe there?

    Edit: Do note that the other thread ended up locked because some Gamergate chuds did show up, but the mods did promptly deal with them.
