Gamergate 2.0 Watch: A Thick-Headed, Entirely One-Sided Report from Wired

This is, like so much from the MSM, basically propaganda for the left side of this dispute.
   So, basically: a company specializes in politicizing/wokifying video games. Non-cultists don't like that, and organize against it to inform people and encourage them to stop buying the games they consult on. A few people (or, at least, they only had a few examples) send them cranky/nasty/asinine emails. They respond by whining about "harassment"...
   Needless to say, I'm generally against harassment. But if they're being harassed, basically everyone on the internet is being harassed. Furthermore, their side in the debate specializes in the organized harassment we've come to know as cancellation/cancel culture. In fact, they invented it...
   Progressives can dish it out but can't take it. They are conducting a culture war, but when centrists and conservatives and left-leaning liberals and libertarians strike back against them, they scream bloody murder.
   Sweet Baby, Inc. is functioning like a DEI department for the video gaming industry. And DEI is shit. People are right to organize against it, push back, and taking their business elsewhere. They're wrong to harass people about it all...but whining about harassment is just what the progressive left does when people push back against them. Deny any of their insane, cultish dogmas and you will be accused of "hate," harassment, even "violence." They are all delicate snowflakes...though vicious ones...
   IMO we should have all paid attention to Gamergate (1.0). If we had, we'd have gotten a jump on the culture war.
