@icedquinn@Moon@teratology honestly I wasn't really "around" during gamergate and I really only learned about it after it had already picked up. Mostly from watching metokur archives. I honestly don't know what people were saying back then. Like were the gg'ers shocked when all the hit pieces rolled out? I remember there was some sense of shock and moral outrage that the media would just outright fabricate stuff.
The kickoff for whatever this 2.0 stuff seems to be "remember that the media is the attack dog of the government and they have no rock bottom."
