Have you ever heard of gamergate? Do you have any idea what it's like to be a woman on the internet?




> Have you ever heard of gamergate?

Yes. It's what arguably started (this iteration of) this insanity. And it's very much "the wokes" GP was referring to, not "other religions and subcultures".

> Do you have any idea what it's like to be a woman on the internet?

No. I have some idea based on what I've been told by women close to me, but it's obviously a small sample limited by age and geography.


Just to echo gp, America Christians have recently overturned roe. That is much worse from an individual freedom perspective than being forced by your employer to watch a video about how all white people should feel guilty of their white privilege.
