I always side stepped the whole gamergate thing while it was at it’s height. Something always stank about that affair.
I would say gamergate wasn’t the first battle, but more like a “Southern Strategy” of gaming. Previously, gaming culture was the target of conservatives. I remember Jack Thompson.
As gaming went “mainstream” and gamers aged into the voting range and boomers became less and less swing voters, conservatives started using the same tactics to draw in gamers as neo-nazis used to draw in the punk scene.
