GamerGate is when gamers woke up to the SJW (Lefties) corruption in their gaming media. It's stated when a gaming "journalist" got caught shagging a game "dev" and giving her game good reviews. Gamers demanded some actually ethnics in their media and then out of nowhere all the gaming media announcing the same headline, (almost like they where colluding together) gamers and gaming culture is dead.
Then they started declaring anyone who question them where all the isms of the day. Even the actually MSM picked it up, this is when you would have heard about "toxic white males" are attacking women in the gaming industry.
Damn, I am not a gamer so I had no clue about this. This is literally the purpose of “identity politics”. Instead of focusing on the individual and facts, leftists can scream “toxic white male” which somehow invalidates everything else. So ridiculous, I’m so tired of this SJW bullshit!
That's exactly it - the whole purpose of identity politics is to shut down critical thought by appealing directly to emotion. When it is successful there's literally no boundaries on what people can do so long as they can claim they are part of some oppressed minority. Ergo, "fucking members of the media in exchange for positive coverage is perfectly fine, and people who say otherwise are bigots or sexist" - that's the media's take on Gamergate in a nutshell.
I was also aware that they did in fact colluded but didn't have anything on hand to show it. I know they someone leaked a chat of the media talking to eachother but it was 8 years ago and the places that I found that info have been scrubbed.

Pretty sure you mean colluding, and that's because they were.
Yes, corrected, thank you.
