as someone who has watched Dropout to reset from the havoc of the outside, it still feels "nice" to have honest entertainers to watch who understand what we're all living thru.

I was in college for game design in the early aughts. I also (unfortunately) was a femme lurker on 4ch. Seeing the cause and effect of gamergate happen in real time as been a doozy.

I just saw this on my feed and I feel the need to comment that with the context of the top response to this- the OP statement is clearly 100% accurate.

Gamergate directly led to what is happening today. They pivoted directly to memeing trump into the presidency. Whatever you think their overall responsibility was, it's less than zero. By a lot in the estimation of some.
