also, the "if you lie to a woman to have sex, is it rape?" question was kinda.. yeah.. idk

in the wiki articles defense, the only real references to say gamergate wasn't about leftist bs is basically 4chan, which is not a real source, even when its right

Something tells me I'm not going to like this latest podcast.

@JadenFrostwolf naw, he just didn't know, so he went off what he saw friends say and stuff

As someone that was there for the whole thing.

Mkay.

so he did no research and just had no clue

It's pretty old by now in terms of internet time.

but i would say gamergate is probably one of the first major clashes of the culture war.

@Dr.Wol it wasn't bad. But on some points it's frustrating, because he is getting on topics that were well covered way long ago, and he is touching them at entry level.

I think it introduced a lot of otherwise politically-inactive people to what was really going on in the world around them.

@Grenade123 I would say it's "the first"

I could just be speaking for myself here, too.

I had zero interest or care about politics until I noticed feminism trying to gut video games.

I started to become motivated on politics because of gamergate

bingo

@.B it was the first for me, but there might have been stuff in other places before then so thats why i didn't want to say the first

but for gamers, it was 110% the first for sure

I had a lot of political ideas, but they were never represented in the media. So I never had any interest on it

there again, I live in a socialist country

you know, i'd say the whole culture is being won.... by 4chan.

😏

it all started with the memes being "released" into normies

think about it, getting the msm to believe their bs has been their goal since forever. and now? msm basically takes whatever bs they say as fact now

Yeah.

see, old people discovered 4chan, don't know about internet culture, and are now ruining everything as old people do

*Plastic knife liscence.*

The joke writes itself.

funny if it turned out soylent is a huge fund raiser in british politics

Having to show ID just to buy some *plastic knives.*

So, can someone explain why "((()))" has become an anti-semetic thing?

i thought it was a vagina

/pol/

Maybe I'm falling for a prank, but if you put any word surrounded specifically by three "((()))" like that, it's a dogwhistle or something like that.

/pol/ was always anti-jews since the start, I think that meme started there

one of those, "I'll refer to them in an unclear way but everyone here knows what I mean" kinda thing

Yeah.
