GamerGate Is Not Right Wing
« on: June 24, 2018, 03:39:42 PM »
Many have heard something about GamerGate. There is this myth that GamerGaters are right wingers and are the Alt-Right that got Donald Trump elected. It is more complicated.

GamerGates are not right wing. They are left, mostly left or left libertarian. They get accused of being right wing because of anti-SJW and anti-progressives. There were right wingers, but they were a small minority.

A search at DU shows many have contempt for GamerGate. Some have accused Bernie Sanders supporters as being GamerGaters. At heart, GamerGate is left wing infighting. It has no doubt contributed to the schism among the left, which is going on right now.
