I was 12 years old when gamergate happened, right before I really became online, so I didn't experience it at the time. I don't understand what exactly it was at all. No matter how many summaries I read I can't discern what it was that made everyone so upset. No matter how detailed the history, things just keep not happening and everybody gets madder and madder at each other. Was it all just a big misunderstanding? Polygon, the guys who gave Brian David Gilbert that show about ranking Castlevania monsters by fuckability, said their journalists can't donate more than 30 dollars to a game's kickstarter because it might constitute a conflict of interest, and then the "gamer" side said the limit should be lower than 30 dollars. Why did anyone give a fuck about any of this shit? Someone said a girl I've never heard of cheated on her boyfriend? Well I don't know if she did but is it really getting that heated over? Someone doxxed Brianna Wu on 8chan, and 8chan and Brianna Wu both said no don't do that, and then 8chan said Brianna Wu doxxed herself which is retarded because that's obviously not true, and the other side said gamergate is bad for doing this but they didn't even want to do it it was just one guy, and both sides got mad at each other but neither side even wanted any of that shit to happen. Were they just mad at each other for being mad? Was it all just a big understanding? Why didn't everybody just go "okay whatever lol" and watch Kill la Kill or listen to Death Grips or share doge memes. It's not like there was nothing better to do in 2014. I don't get it. It was all such a huge nothingburger.

Gamergate is just idle people with little to no personal problems or they do have a lot of those but they're too willfully ignorant to deal with them.

It doesn't really matter now since Brianna Wu has become a rabid outspoken Zionist with controversial stances on transgender issues that not even TERFs would agree with.
