>>59249Closest would be the Habbo Hotel raids. I think those were funner than the raids nowadays because unlike the current raids, Habbo Hotel and Second Life raids really had no agenda other than to cause chaos and humiliation. The current raids are completely politically motivated. Stealing Shia's flag would be funny if it wasn't a fact that /pol/ are huge Trump dick riders.
As for GamerGate, I was part of it if only as the "anti" side. It's not to say that I thought gamers should just swallow whatever journalists pumped out. I knew gaming journalists were agenda driven and cared very little about video games as a hobby.
But I also knew they were hemorrhaging readers as streaming and YouTube was steadily taking their viewership. GamerGate only gave them a resurgence of attention, and the reason why all the attacks against GG was so credible was because idiots like Ben Spurr already set the precedent with his own game featuring Anita Sarkissiean or whatever getting physically abused.
But they were so far deep up their own asses they refused to listen. Their form of "debate" was "if you disagree with me I win". As for the idiotic notion that if you ignore them they win, I tried over and over to show that they were already hemorrhaging viewers. They were too busy making video games the sole purpose of their existence though.
Credit given where it's due, GamerGate's early victories did make numerous gaming sites revise their ethics policies and disclosures. As for dangerhairs' games bombing, that was the matter of their games sucking dick, and evidence of how powerless the gaming blogs actually are.
