>people got mad about games journalism being shit (and by extension gaming as well)
>coincided with people like Quinn or Sarkeesian saying stupid shit online, sleeping around in exchange for positive reviews, as well as the woke movements gaining traction
>people reasonably got upset
>from my understanding, /v/ and various places on the internet being 'for' burning down games journalism splintered into 500 discord groups doing shit separately
>nothing came out of it other than some people sending death threats for 'the lulz' and 'epic trolling', as for any other impact - fuck all was achieved (in true sense of the word, no positive or negative things happened), but for woke people, journalists on big sites, "women-activist" grifters and detractors this is basically the equivalent of the fucking holocaust or krystalnacht, showcase of what the online incel boogieman is capable of (nothing)

Seriously, I didn't participate in this shit but I was here well before and well after and it seems like nothing fucking happened as a result other than left falseflagging. Obviously also it added to the woke fatigue and where we are now but that was obviously going to happen anyway.
