CandaceOwens… I’m always confused by people who say things like “Don’t you see yourself in George Floyd”. No. Why? Do all White people see themselves in Ted Bundy? Do all Chinese people see themselves in Mao Zedong? If you expect me to relate to people based on skin tone, you’re an idiot...

She made a shitty choose-your-own-adventure game and then blew a bunch game "journalists" for favorable reviews.
That was bad enough, but when people called them out they went full SJW cancel culture on gamers. Understand that this was one of the first instances of this, and certainly the most public. Gaming subreddits full out banning mention of it, gaming sites both denying the allegations and gaslighting gamers as the villains.
It created the enormous reactionary movement of the New Right, which is how we all ended up here.
There's a lot of finer detail in there, it was a prolonged period of strife. But that's the super abridged version.
I’ve tried reading more fulsome versions and they make bad translations of Tolstoy seem accessible by comparison.
There is this YouTuber named Upper Echelon Gamers who is pretty based and has a collection of videos tearing leftist idealism in video games apart.

He isn't always great, so be prepared for some shit that's stupid, but I mostly enjoy his content.
Cucks get a little scent of pussy and go full white knight essentially.
I just gagged a little at the phrase "scent of pussy" used in the context of discussing Anita Sarkeesian and Zoe Quinn. 🤢
Lol don’t get me wrong they are a hard pass for me, but some dudes aren’t in a position to say no
I've read so many synopsis of 'gamergate' and never really got much out of the explanation and it always sounded like butthurt basement dwellers contradicting each other about what the real problems was. Your description was like a Cliff Notes version that cut to the bone of the problem. It seemed like reading it before I needed to know basic building blocks like names of players. It seemed like even if someone was trying to give an unbiased description they still found a way to blame or name someone. You pulled it together for me, thanks!
ELIFU5 version:
Zoe Quinn: slurp slurp Be sure to rate my game good, okay?
Gaming Journalism: Oh gawd I'm cumming five star reviews!
Gamers: Uh, this five star game really sucks. My dog took a shit on the keyboard and it somehow cranked out a better game. What gives?
GJ: STOP ATTACKING MY BELOVED COCKGOBBLER YOU MONSTERS.
Gamers: Oh lord, they're trading sexual favors for positive coverage up in here.
Zoe: I feel so personally attacked because I'm a minority woman with empowered sexuality who should be allowed to prostitute themselves for presstitute favor.
Anita, et. all: Yeah! How dare anybody anywhere ever challenge a woman's right to do illegal and unethical things?
GJ: Quit talking and get back to sucking, we've got this. Ahem. "Gamers are dead." (Literal quote, from multiple gaming journalists, whose sole audience is gamers.)
Gamers: Look, all we want is unbiased coverage and full disclosure of conflicts of interest, like any other ethical journa-
GJ: FUCK YOU MICHAEL ZOOLANDER WHO WORKS AT TARGET IN NEW PORT RICHY FLORIDA..
Mike Z, Gamer: Yo wtf?
Feminists: Le gasp, le doxx! GET THAT PATRIARCH AND CANCEL HIM FOR GOOD!
Mike Z, Gamer:GJ: And this is why we need to have a conversation about the problematic culture of gaming and how all gamers are horrible people who hate women and deserve horrible things.
Mainstream Journalism: Also, gamers calling for ethical standards is really an attack on all modern journalism. We won't stand for being held accountable!
Gamergater is evolving!... ... ... Gamergater has evolved into Redpiller! autistic screech sfx Redpiller has discovered a new move, "Vote for Donald Trump." Learn this move now? Y/Y?

Amazing ELFU5 version!
For the uninitiated, all the major gaming sites put out "gamers are dead" articles at the same time in a coordinated effort, showing just how insular and how much collusion was going on behind the scenes. Opened a lot of people's eyes to how rotten it was.

It wasn't even reviews. It was just favorable mentions in articles.
So she could be called, the mouth of freedom.
Not even reviews. Just mentions and links in articles.
