I am not going to re-litigate GamerGate here. There were people who were genuinely concerned about ethics in games journalism, sure. But it did not become the defining event in the online-political sphere of the mid/late '10s simply due to genuine concerns about ethics in games journalism.

Correct, because a large portion of the public has no idea what indie games are, or how the software industry works, but they know that angry nerds are funny.

That's not how it went down. Sorry. It wasn't "the big bad left laughing at some video game nerds whose feelings were hurt".
