Gamergate’s Aggrieved Men Still Haunt the Internet.

This article doesn’t understand, for the most part, what the Gamergate goofuses were upset about.

As with incels, I didn’t approve of their methods but most of the GG grievances weren’t actually incorrect or misguided. It’s just that hating and harming women wasn’t and isn’t the answer and won’t help.

What the GG crew was agitated about is that to them it felt like their last refuge was being invaded by people who had already rejected them and exiled them from mainstream society. To the Gamergaters, therefore, it seemed (in many ways, accurately) that the women who’d already told them how terrible and contemptible they were would soon evict them once again to some other, even worse fringe of civilization.

Their reaction wasn’t helpful but their assessment of what was occurring wasn’t totally wrong.
