The sentiment of Gamergate has existed for a while, and will probably remain after the name is gone, but it was only last year that they tried to lobby together under one name as both an organized movement and an anonymous collective, they couldn't decide which. They're pretty much a fartcloud of what they were a few months ago at this point as a movement, though. That said, please do not submit a Gamergate doc to The F Plus, it would be an awful, infuriating episode.

I mean I'm sure (given the fact that the only people on either side who still care are generally broken and shouting into echo chambers) some dumb stuff could be dredged up, but that particular subject doesn't strike me as f+ material. Leaving aside the fact that any doc made by anyone close to the issue would probably be severely unfunny.

I wanna touch the poop and laugh at those guys so bad on their own board, but I'm gonna show restraint this one time. But, how broken do you gotta be to see the F-Plus and try to crusade against them?

And if they had done any research, they'd have known that the F Plus are pretty much the exact people who'd be anti.

I feel like a Gamergate episode would require a lot of exposition, plus there's too much MRA overlap. It's the same reason I haven't tried to put together a Bitcoin document. I very well could be wrong, though.

I think I remember somewhere in the Ballpit that Lemon called Gamergate something along the lines of the worst argument ever to grace internet forums so I doubt they'd bother to do an episode on it.

I don't think any explanation more than "GamerGate is an Internet Crusade" would be necessary, the rape-joke waifu and comparisons of RPS to Stalinist Russia would

I'm wondering if there's enough material from last year's Dashcon debacle for a doc. For context: Dashcon was an unofficial Tumblr convention held last year which was a loving trainwreck. Highlights include Night Vale skipping out on a panel after not receiving payment, a tiny ballpit (not ballp.it) which was urinated in, and the con staff shaking down more money from their guests by claiming the hotel was kicking them out, causing a mini protest.

The Dashcon thing really works through pictures and the like. Like you said, it'd be tough to just do a Dashcon thing without going into general Tumblr and poo poo.

Dashcon is too small to be verbal only, you really only have their dumb rules, their plea for money, and the few first hand accounts of how stupid it was to actually read, you'd have to do a general failed cons doc, I think. OH MY GOD PLEASE DO A GENERAL FAILED CONS DOC.

It doesn't even have to be failed cons specifically. All conventions are full of the dumbest poo poo, no matter how good they are.

Therion posted:This makes you think about how many of the F Plus subjects listened to the episodes about them (outside of obvious attention whores like bronies and Tumblrites). Does Big Daddy Rhino know of the F List episode? Apparently Dozerfleet has added one of the readers to a list of some kind. When City of Heroes was shutting down, Jo Kitty contacted me to say they found and liked the episode they were in.

I will say I was really disappointed that my favorite review from Punternet about the disappointing S&M experience (the dominatrix obviously hadn't drank enough water for serious piss humiliation) was removed. I really wanted to revisit it for a live version of the show.
