man. very depressing how active literal gamergate-type elements still are. I know they never went away but this level of organization.. whoof. I'm glad it's being discussed openly because this sort of thing needs active fighting back against.
My CEO, an otherwise agreeable fellow, shared an Asmongold clip yesterday titled "Sweet Baby Inc CEO Is Nuts." He then followed up with a link to Niche Gamer titled "Sweet Baby employees incite harassment campaign against Steam curator." And my CEO was doing his job correctly! He was simply looking into the latest drama in our industry and seeing how that could affect our company's long-term strategy.
Unfortunately, this is exactly what these fascists want. They're creating all this smoke out of nothing to steer the industry away from telling inclusive stories with diverse characters. They're lashing out because they're losing the culture war. Spider-Man 2 sold 10 million copies, for example. Sad and angry people are going after a soft target like a small narrative design studio to try and stir up a GamerGate 2.0 so they can RETVRN to the glory days of their moms cutting off the crust on their sandwiches for them while they play their vidya gaems.
