The Hugo awards for science fiction books had Sad puppies/Rabid puppies. It isn't exactly a "gate", but the reasons behind it are the same, namely people being bitter that non-white/non-males start producing new kinds of stories.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sad_Puppies

The flaw in their plan was that "No Award" was a valid option for Hugo voters so that placed above literally every Puppy nominee and even "won" in categories where there were only Puppy nominees.

Do you think people would do that? Just LIE on the internet.


Also speedrunning is having it's bout of drumming out sexpests and racists; and there's a fair amount of resistance. I don't think anyone is calling it like.. speedgate or anything though. Here's a sample: https://pastebin.com/W7aLeDcy (Yeah, it's a pastebin. that's just how they do things)

There's one guy out there who goes by BlackCap27 who proudly calls himself the token black CGer. He also describes himself as 6'4, 315 pounds and built like a wrestler.* Loves calling Kwanzer's (the dude behind 'Black' and 'White) wife a "snow bunny." Pretty sure he might also not be black.

Although on subject, that account she's replying to is weird. Not only is it like a screenshot of a screenshot, ostensibly she's talking to Ben Dunn of Antarctic Press he hasn't tweeted in a year except this weird Family Circus Not Me cartoon about Trump.

*Nikolai Volkoff had the same measurements, so I do believe he looks like that.

As a correction, Blackface Lawyer isn't Vic's lawyer. That's Ty Beard who started a trend amongst the Vic supporters because he tweeted "We'll be in touch" to Monica Rial and others. Ty Beard, despite having tried actual court cases unlike Nick, is on record as giving opposing counsel false documents and screwing the case up so bad he had to pay the OTHER SIDE's legal fees.

Re: Ty Beard, Jim E. Bullock, Brian Casper, Craig Daugherty and Don Harris, 12-15-00005-CV (Tex. App. 2015) if you want to see Beard be on the hook for 14K.

He's from a town in my home state. His office is a block away from a trailer park, and in a strip mall. The town in question has a population of about a thousand people, three liquor stores, and eight churches. That should tell you all you need to know about him and his practice.

Seriously, it blows my mind. The idea behind the "NPC" designation is that they're accusing people of not thinking for themselves and downloading pre-programmed arguments, which means they aren't really people and can be conveniently ignored. This, from a political bloc that thinks in tweets and image macros while all using the same shallow pool of slang and congregating around a handful of political figureheads.

You should see the mental hoops they jump through to accuse people against them of stuff. Like Renfamous, who cancelled her ticket to a con that had dis-invited then RE-invited Vic Mignogna. They claim she knew it was going to happen and that planned to make a big deal out of getting her refund. That is the mental leap you must make to not be an NPC.
