Part of the big issue is that those who are actively against Gamergate fall into roughly 5 overlapping groups.
1. Gaming journalist
2. Social Justice Warriors
3. Useful idiots
4. The outraged but ignorant
5. Mainstream Media
The outraged but ignorant are simply responding to bad narrative spin. They are likely to turn away from SJWs is better more complete information or conflicting information is bought to their attention and/or breaks the narrative spin.
Useful Idiots are just white knighting or parroting any bullshit to make them feel like they are important or part of something awesome.
Mainstream Media is relatively fickle. They will drift away from the controversy eventually.
Gaming journalists are doing it hard. Really hard. They have been forced to adopt ethics guidelines as a result of Gamergate and now they are losing millions of dollars of ad revenue, their bounce rate is increasing, visits dropping, adblocker use up and prolific use of archive.is. They are struggling to keep themselves open and their mates the SJWs do not subsidise or support them.
Social Justice Warriors are checked at every point. Their big plays are nullified and they lose credibility daily. They have not been able to sink their hooks as deeply as they need to.
They demand Progressive values in video games but realise that in doing so the games will not be as popular. When they have tried, the gaming public has thumbed their noses at the end product. The market can not sustain these games. The last progressive and highly reviewed game (Sunset) sold so very poorly, it bankrupted the developers.
They have tried will other games too and there is no appeal. So when we say "Well if YOU want those kind of games, make them yourself" the answer is "We have tried and they don't sell"
So it is not our issue. We know that Game Devs won't risk their business on trying to market to non-existent market. They will ignore the SJWs and market the games that will sell, to the appreciative audience. The Gaming press that sided against Gamergate will fold or downsize. This will lead to many corrupt, incompetent, hacks who are all made freelancers, and all competing for the same work. The social justice warriors will get no oxygen from the Gaming press and will find that the mainstream press will have moved away from Gamergate on to different topics. They will be reluctant to mention old news.
This leave a problem for the Social Justice Warriors trying to crack into the market. If Gamers don't roll over, Game Devs ignore them and Media won't report on them..........what good are they?
What is more the $3000-$4000 per month that the most popular e-celebrities among them make in Patreon.com dollars, will increasingly be see as for no good purpose and people will rightly say, why are we giving you so much cash?
THIS is where I want them. I want the unemployed freelancing journos to turn on their previous handlers and the social justice warrior queens that get the notoriety, and the big Patreon bucks, to be torn down by their supporters. I want there to be massive infighting in both groups and against each other and Gamergate watch this gladiatorial survival of the fittest.
Then Gamergate will demolish the weakened victors and they will slither off defeated absolutely.
When they attack a new fandom or industry I will be there and fighting against them.
