Source on the gamergater claim?
Here's where they admit to it. They claim to have gotten better, but they were radicalized by it, and their behavior indicates that they haven't actually moved too far beyond it, such as when they complain about "encountering wokeness." In another instance, they blame far-right radicalization on "forcing equity," which is just anti-DEI nonsense.
Can't say I'm surprised. My guy was on the frontline defending that fascist instance when the reddit exodus happened after all.
Yep, not really surprising.
Idk that calling them a gamergater is fair with that context since that implies they're an active threat to women but it does explain why they only seem interested in hating communism.
Depends on the degree, complaining about "forcing equity" and "wokeness" to me honestly implies danger in my opinion. Plus, the whole anticommunism being their sole focus thing really doesn't help.
