Found this post on /pol/ about gamergate. I never understood what's the big deal about GamerGate but this made it click for me.

A woman cheated on her boyfriend and fucked 5 guys, some of which were reviewing her shitty indie game.

He spilled the beans and everyone called out the reviewers for not mentioning the developer literally fucked them.

So a bunch of autists got together to see what other drama was there, and uncovered a shitload of collusion and favor trading for shilling of each other's games and organizations.

It would have ended there as "no fucking shit gaming journalism is just one big circlejerk of shilling" but they tried to cover it all up. The cover up was this massive lockstep "gamers are dead" campaign and making up a bunch of baloney to disguise what a bunch of jokes they are.

Then it kept growing and growing until it went mainstream. Celebrities chimed in, feminists went to the UN, federal investigations into harassment, etc. It got wildly out of control and redpilled a bunch video game playing losers about how the media works to control narratives. How Jews and feminists and blacks use the same tactics to be victims that can only be helped through more shekels, etc.

That redpilling led to a lot of new /pol/ members being born because people starting seeing the same tactics in political media and started asking questions. It turned out shitposting about controlled narrative and happenings is more fun than video games because they all suck now.

Then a bunch of stuff happened and Donald Trump is now the president.
