Sad Puppies was only a Thing because of the Rabid Puppies, and the Rabid Puppies were led by Vox Day.

He was one of the first to jump onto the GG bandwagon.

Honest I read the Hugo awards situation as the same types fighting over the same things just in a different hobby with different people battling it out. The whole Sad/Rabid/whatever sounded way more leader focused then GG ever did.

Your take away from white people opposing gamergate demanding a black man not be able to tell a story about "apartheid" is that gamergate is mad about "ethnic minority representation."

Have you considered you the reason is cognitive dissonance?

has gamergate accomplished anything in the last six months or is it still digital turf war?

In addition to what others have said, gamergate doesn't even need to do anything anymore to get what they want. Things like Steam's new return policy are automatically ascribed to gamergate by the antis, especially since it shut down a ton of "art" games which were in fact really lovely. It gives weight to the gamergate narrative that there are such things as not games.

Gamergate is basically the illuminati.

Leaving aside the fact that there's no evidence that the artist who first drew her was inspired by the Daily Dose meme (but then that person was an anonymous poster on a chan, so it's not like he/she can be easily tracked down and interviewed), the original gif itself has absolutely nothing to suggest that it is rape. It's just a scene of Piccolo and Vegeta having sex presented without any context at all. It probably doesn't say good things about these people that they just assume that a depiction of two men having sex = a depiction of rape.

I've spent far more time than is healthy watching the various GG forums since early October, and I did not see even one mention of the Hugos on any of them until after the Puppies won big at the nominations. Of course after that happened, it quickly got pulled into the never ending poop flinging match on Twitter, but most of the GGers who started talking about it seemed to have honestly never heard of the Sad Puppies before.

A "cynical" video game reviewer mocked pc gaming meganerds by calling them the "pc gaming master race" and those people immediately owned the term and used it when showing off their video card water cooling setups

That's pretty much where the PC master race thing starts and stops

Almost all of them are about SJWs, even if they do not always use that word.

And why is that? Because SJWs are the root of The Problem.

SJWs cannot read text, let alone subtext. Merely portraying or mentioning a thing is tantamount to endorsement.

It's curious that an anti-feminist group also talks disparagingly about race issues, yeah. "PC Master Race" is obviously a reference to white supremacist movements — I don't think it is itself racist, but it's pretty indicative of the immature, 2edgy4u nature of people who think video games is the greatest civil rights issue of our time.

Of course Gamergate would have nothing to do with racism.

They just want you to know that someone trained a woman to "smile like a white person." Nothing to do with racism. That's race realism.
