>people LISTEN to Resetera
That isn't what happens most of the time. Normal people (even those otherwise "SJW" or anti-Trump by pol standards) are indifferent, or mock it in a non-controversy setting. Content creators who go out of their way to cater to ResetEra (organizing AMAs there, for example) are reviled.

What DOES happen is that ResetEra honed gamedev harassment tactics to a science, and used it to great effect to pressure some developers and game localizers to "kiss the ring" in various ways. For that, they give invites to localizers and game journalists, and they help both on the inside and outside steer the controversy in the direction resetera wants no matter how adverse to the company's finances. Of course a company can be willing to stand their ground (Ion Fury) so they'll try and get more well-timed articles from Kotaku, Polygon, RPS, Siliconera, etc. and even try and involve MSM. But that negative word of mouth is limited to that. ResetEra members also control r/games on reddit (this is known because they bragged about it) and very often, any time a given controversy blows up, it's usually brainstormed on their pedo discords then on the forums then immediately a blitz of articles, reddit threads, and some twitter threads that can be traced back to them appear at the same time.

The treatment of fan project authors isn't much different.
The chokehold will be the mod aggregator websites (already infiltrated by some sympathetic mods), a tiny subset of romhackers (all members of resetera and hg101 boards curiously) who will threaten to pull everything from the website if the full list of demands that appeared FIRST on resetera isn't satisfied to the letter (kissing the ring, purging the work, purging the offenders AND their supporters, entrenching resetera agents), otherwise then Kotaku will run an article about the aggregators and "ask Nintendo for comment".
Resetera tries to give invites to known romhackers failed, they're still outsiders.
