More on Gamergate 2

   It's really just the culture war / political correctness / Woketarianism as it manifests itself in video games. Very Serious People ignored Gamergate--or sided with the bad guys. But it foreshadowed the cultural catastrophe we're in now. I doubt that Gamergate 2 means things are going to get worse--now this sort of thing is everywhere, and almost routine. But it's too bad people weren't smarter about Gamergate 1. Basically, it was about the SJWs/PCs/Woketarians taking over video games journalism. When gamers rightly complained about the totalitarian takeover of their hobby, they were accused of racism, harassment, etc.--now this, too, is routine. Any opposition to political correctness is characterized as bigotry and "violence." 

   There's a kind of moral/aesthetic worldview at the core of the left that "valorizes" (one of the paleo-PC's favorite words) grotesquerie and destruction. Of course there's a lot of violence and destruction in video games--but there's generally also heroism and some kind of laudable ideals buried in there somewhere.

   Or something like that.
