Me, five hours into explaining what a film is, the existence of Hollywood, the existence of a country over the sea called 'America', the internet and what woke means: "ok so basically, in the year of our lord two thousand and fourteen there was this thing called 'Gamer Gate' and single men who couldn't have sex would harass women for criticising video games"

It should also be noted that during this time, lots of other areas of culture were cleaning up their acts and getting rid of a lot of this immature booby-ogling content. Gaming was the last holdout since it had a large proportion of its fanbase as nerdy shut ins and an overwhelming male majority (due to women generally avoiding the gross gaming culture of the time). Hence, a lot of gamers felt like they were losing a culture war and had to make their final stand for boobies. That’s where a lot of the gamergate persecution complex came from, they thought “this is the one remaining space we can still act this way, why can’t they be happy having everything else”
Yeah, it isn't just about weirdos wanting to jerk off to polygonal boobies, but about the cultural values those polygonal boobies represent to those weirdos
