No offense (and I know this comment is ancient), but I scrolled through some of your Reddit posts besides the one you linked, and you seem to think Mister Metokur was opposed to Gamergate going down the culture war route? Maybe he said he was, but Metokur was an unambiguously right-wing figure, even if he occasionally took potshots at gay MRA furries (because fags having cringe sex, yo) or Karen Straughan (because she looks like a butch lesbian, yo). No matter how nihilistic he fronted, he was an enthusiastic culture war belligerent, and on any given YouTube video of his you’d see comment after comment after comment about gas, ropes, and autism.
This is why I never clicked with Gamergate and never will. I’m deeply critical of much of online feminism, but as soon as I poked my head into that room and saw nothing but bellowing machismo, I was out of there like a shot.
Also, “post-leftist” discourse relies way too much on right-wing populist tropes about pointyheaded intellectuals. HR administrators and BreadTube scolds aren’t the “elite” or the “upper class” bestowing values on the masses from on high. They’re yet another sector of the middle class, living in fear of those above and below as they scramble for tablescraps for them and theirs.

I dislike slurs such as “neckbeards,” but your position on Gamergate is pretty close to what mine has evolved into.

Still prefer them (Moot and 4chan) to Lowtax and his progeny. Funnily enough someone on r/StupIdpol informed me of the 10bux-to-Breadtube pipeline the other day.
