Gamergate is notable for just how many lovely alt-right, breitbart, and reactionary right-wing figures rose to prominence via it and have continued on through trumpism to this day. For example, the owner of The Escapist, Alexander Macris, who worked hard to mainstream gamergate via his discussion boards, is now the latest delusional idiot to go ride or die on trump's coup attempt.

Adam Baldwin was the best Baldwin before Gamergate broke his brain
Adam Baldwin was writing editorials for Breitbart about how gay marriage will destroy America and pushing anti-vaccination on his co-stars well before he coined "gamergate"




One of the many original 2014 gamergate threads to get gassed. You will find many honest to god gamergaters bringing their 4chan style shitposting here.

One of the few original 2014 gamergate threads to get archived for having a surprising amount of actual good posts. You will find many honest to god gamergaters posting here, and the beginning of trying to have an actual discussion instead of just shitposting.

The 2015 D&D gamergate thread. You will find many honest to god gamergaters here trying to formulate actual arguments that are found to be wanting, and resorting to tactics like straight up denying reality, like the fact that the instigators of gamergate were all hanging out in chat saying things like this:

Stuff like gamergaters pushing their conspiracy theory website as evidence of collusion in games journalism to people here who actually work in games journalism has shades of trumpers trying to push their election fraud conspiracies in court and getting nowhere then threatening election officials when they lose.

Here is one of the many 2016 shitposting threads where you can see gamergate and it's fully alt-right proponents metastasizing into the trumpist right



the best summary of gamergate as reactionary kulturkampf:

most of this post was good but this part sucks rear end. the wave of vitriol that erupts around any queer, trans, PoC or even woman character in a video game is not neutral, it isn't the fault of not being ten years old, it is reactionary bile and it restricts the free expression of creators to make the game and tell the story that they want.

this is even setting aside the broader cultural problems we have around those concepts, why it is that the staff of game studios are overwhelmingly straight and white and cis and male far out of proportion with the demographics around them - just the basic principle of getting death threats because your main character is black, is enough to make the lower 2/3 of this image bad
Indeed it's not neutral, what the post is making is a salient point that the desire to capture one's childhood and disappointment at the failure to capture it is the inevitable result of the capitalist and consumerist mode of production of videogames and that currently the well organized and well funded right wing reactionaries (identified as 'gamers' in scare quotes) are there to capitalize on that disappointment and say that's it's all the fault of the jews (SJeWs)/feminists/gays/transfolk/minorities, they are the reason why games aren't as good as you remember them being when you were 12.

There is of course no alternative, non-reactionary right wing explanation being broadcast out there to the 'gaming' masses.
