Pretty good TL;DR.

Oh not in the games. In the forums.
oh hey i watched that particular video back when it was newer-ish
I missed GG, before I got into politics I just gamed alone and only bought the occasional game I knew I personally would like. So it didn't affect me
NGL it was a lot of fun.
@randomNPCno3 same here
Only knew of it because a SocJus friend mentioned it
I found out about Gamergate during the 2016 election
They still do. I cannot help but find that part amusing. I think it's because, up until then, they never lost a fight. Since then they just lose constantly.
It was a tipping point towards rationality
It’s a permanent reminder that they are but mere mortals, just like the rest of us
The first group diverse enough to fight back on their terms
It showed the Once SocJust gamers and Atheists that something else was being made than what they thought was

Shit, now I feel old, now. GG was like 5 minutes ago. >.>
And just another datapoint on a long series of datapoints in relation.
I mean it might have been a tipping point. Before that they could say, "normie normalson is a racist" and it would stick. And they could destroy anyone like that. But we just wouldn't shut up. And we wouldn't quit. And in the end they lost which was not something that had happened before. And now when they try that everyone just ignores them because they know it is bullshit.
"You have 10 million dollars in the bank? well here's a 100k dollar parking fine"
That’s impractical, I’m not against the idea of fairness
But it’s just impractical for a street fine
I mean it is done pythin
Like it in court it makes sense
But the guy parks out in the wrong area
The cop has to ask him his income?
I got caught by the old lady enforcement smoking outside the airport. "that's 100$ fine" they said. "OK", I answered. Took a drag and blew smoke at them, "Do you take checks or cash?"
If it’s in court I agree
The more money you have the more should pay
Some corporal punishment for all crimes. that would be interesting.
Holy shit
103,000$ lmao
I mean if it’s fair and practical I don’t care
It’s not like I’m inherently against fining rich people more
I remember a while back I had an idea of “What if we raised taxes on the rich, but the amount it was raised by had to go to a charity they do not have personal connections to?”
