Judge Marshal Kavanaugh was chosen by God to save women from themselves and he's become an epic inspiration to all forcibly celibate victims around the world, whether Otakus from Kyoto, Incels in Isfahan, or creeps from Crete. We've bided our time, turned the scorn and humiliation heaped upon us by society into patience, endurance and willpower. We've watched warily as normieshit locusts swarmed the entire internet, consuming it's precious bandwidth with their NPC problems, their thirst for pleb pornography and their fawning over hypergamous medical marvels politely called "women." Overtime, the thirsty normieshits became meatspace automatons implementing a new age of favoritism for all roastie harlots, and any transgression, however microscopic, drew a call to arms amongst the loyal white knights who defended these slack-snizzed feminists by day and edged to cuckporn at night, always thankful and convinced of their own righteousness. These trendy, brave and progressive rules were to underpin the dawn of the Fempire, the next stage in humanity's evolution, but Judge Marshal Kavanaugh's confirmation has ruined the birth of that promised era with the swiftness of a pneumatic suction hose at Planned Parenthood.

There will be none of Sarah Jeong's castration events, nor Katy Perry's Interracial Breeding Grounds. Men will not endure compulsory detainment and arousal analysis in the hopes of helping harpies' "predict rape." Instead, it is the Roasties who shall rue this day, the day when Judge Marshal Kavanaugh redpilled even the NPCs on the secrets to fighting bitchy feminist whores: ignore them and if you need to, simply use your masculinity to overpower them. In the shadows of past roastie conquests, Incel hackerspaces have coordinated across continents to develop new sets of tools to better police women and extinguish all hopes for a tyrannical Fempire, chief among them our overclocked shock collars, turning hunting-dog training devices into CNS disruptors destined for the necks of whores and thots alike. With help from chaste Chinese Incels, we soon expect surgery robots that can be built for under $10K and will help us not only trim beef curtains, but also infibulate any roastie, locking down her overused cauliflowered cunt with encrypted RFID locks, ensuring that vagina can only be freed if the penitent prostitutes convince the New Men to build for them enough parallel botnets or quantum computers to crack the device's locks threaded through each roastie's pierced vulvas. With hypergamy stamped out in the civilized world, love, chastity and modesty can return to our empty hearts and society can be a hopeful place once more.

No.
I never thought Gamergate was a big deal and only heard about it like two years later.

If it took that to redpill you, you are genetically bluepilled.
There's so much worse out there you see in the world on a daily basis. It took some SJW game reporters that don't affect you in any way to get to you?

Your entire belief system is the result of preference falsification. That's how you were before and this is how you are because of Gamergate.
I assume you browsed some video game forum or /v/, and you see all this outrage and you hop on the bandwagon.

I'm glad you are a traditionalist now but it's pathetic if this is what it took to get you here. I wouldn't mention it to anyone that Gamergate is what did it for you because you'll look like a gullible retard.

Don't really know why I'm giving you an honest answer, but here it is: my political stance (somewhere between a libertarian and classical liberal and paleoconservative) and general view of the world and American politics was not particularly impacted by gamergate.

That said, to a large group of people (so-called 'hardcore gamers') gamergate made explicit what had previously only been implicit and hidden to anyone who didn't care to look: the distaste that much of society has for 'gamers;' the desire to push 'progressive' or pseudo-leftist ideology into games and the 'journalism' that surrounded them; the almost total lack of any legitimate criticism for games that mirrors criticism of books, film, music, etc; and consequently the sheer ease with which a more politically and image savvy group (the so-called 'SJWs') could manipulate the larger establishment press to accept completely their version of events, in order to profit at the expense of another group.

I also expect that the 'SJW' reaction to the protesting gamers also made the gamers realize how reactionary the 'SJWs' are as well.

Gamergate permanently ruined fascism and traditionalism by causing a gigantic stream of stupid fat virgins to adopt the ideology out of spite, not because they genuinely want to use it to make the world better
Any visit to /pol/ makes it clear that they don't care about doctrine or any kind of systemic change, they care about making 15 year old libruhls on tumblr cry, larping, and their autistic whiteness olympics
They even adopt religions for their shitty perception of their aesthetics and genuinely see themselves as either crusaders or vikings

It is human destiny to be divided once more. The tower of Babel will fail time and time again. We built a foundation, and people are already bickering. Psychology finds a permanent and irrevocable gap between the left and right wingers across all populations. Young children use journalists as ATMs for fun, because their role as banal propaganda machines has made them simplistic, and children are immune to factors like "history" since it was taken from them.

Humans will divide themselves, or be divided by technology. The AI will learn truth faster than we can lie to it. People will agree with it like they agree with EULA, they will ask it permission like they ask their clocks, and they will sacrifice their time to be with it, like with the Internet. At some point, bureaucracy will be automated. It is inevitable. It is more efficient, less corrupt. Humanity will be replaced - a just end to the entire branch of humanist ideology.

The same social justice shit that now is dominating wide areas of politics was encroaching on video games. Speech codes, quotas, listen and believe, gender politics, intersecionality. All of these ideas were getting pushed hard in the gaming media with the intention of forcing game developers to make games that conform to ideas of the social justice left. Cliques and organized activists were actively promoting each other and forcing good creators out of gaming for political reasons while calling them some form of -ist. The indie game dev scene was at that point already completely dominated by social justice activists.

So people, as naive as they were back then, assumed they could change things by organizing. They demanded better standards from the gaming media in an attempt to remove the political activism and realign it to actually serve the consumers. Outlets that wrote anti-gamer articles were attacked by writing mails to their advertisers with quotes from their articles in which they insulted their audience. Thousands of people from image boards who were normally averse to social media made accounts on twitter, reddit and tumblr to spread the message, show that there is a huge number of consumers who disagree with the way things are going and raid hashtags (still worked back then). Many youtubers rose to prominence by "debunking" arguments of feminist activist in gaming and are quite popular to this day.

This had some minor positive results, like most gaming news outlets adopted ethics codes and promised to disclose relationships between author and subject of the article. Some especially activist outlets took huge financial hits from the email campaigns. But they did not change their content at all, so it was kind of pointless. Later when this angle turned out to be pointless some gaming news outlets were created by pro-gg people like Nichegamer, Lewdgamer and Techraptor. Those are pretty big now.

Of course from the media side you read a different story. They told a story about misogynist basement dwelling gamers "who just can't handle women in gaming" and harass them online. I.e. whenever an activist like Anita Sarkeesian (a public figure by own choosing) said something stupid online, then a ton of gamergate people on twitter would comment on it and that would be taken as a proof of a harassment campaign instead of a regular social media interaction. This was a welcomed opportunity by feminist activists in the media, who were pushing the "white males dominate gaming and keep out minorities" angle for a while and now finally had an organized group of people with rude internet humor to point at as hate mob.

No, but Gamergate taught me one important thing: that gamers are now currently the single most oppressed minority, and we all need to band together and form an ethnostate in reprisal. Also gamers aren’t misogynists, but FUCK WOMEN

it wasn't fury. mostly the whole thing was pretty funny. granted, after the censorship started and the whole machine lurched into action to suppress everyone's "radical opinions" the hand was laid bare and it was relatively aggravating THEN.

that's what every kind of partisan does in every democracy in the world. The answer to this is to become non-partisan and actually have opinions separate from reacting to other people's opinions, not to become a partisan for the opposite side. This really should be obvious.

>> No.11897824

>>11897809
No that's absolutely retarded. Partisan forces will always exist in a society whether you like it or not. No opinions ever exist in a vacuum and game theory dictates that polarized forces will always emerge and any politics which is not designed to account the polarity as part of the landscape is a politics that will fail miserably
Its like what happened with Brett Kavanaugh, whatever you think of him as a judge is irrelevant in the face of an entire half of the country who will falsely paint an innocent man as a rapist just to get their side ahead

The right is no less prone to pushing irrational shit for the sake of political convenience. The only way to create an incentive for them not to do so is to be a voter with the independence and intelligence to vote for a reason other than red team or blue team. The current political discourse is designed to try to trick you into not seeing the nuance of any situation so that it's easier for you to pick a side. Deny those blatant attempts at control and remain open to both when it actually benefits you.

>> No.11897892

>>11897845
The lack of nuance is the nuance you fucking idiot. You're missing the forest for the trees. The polarity IS the political situation. You act in politics to achieve a vision of the world against the obstacles that are in the way and the only intelligent solution is to use the tide in your favor and not just ponder your own navel for no purpose other than virtue signal your useless pretense of independence from the discourse at large.
As if it would be the case you would have any such "rationally" construed opinions were you born a hundred years ago or three hundred. Politics is by the highest definition not the place for independent thought.
Like Napoleon the undoing of the revolution is the revolution itself.
