Gamergate cries out against corruption in the gaming industry and insists that they’re facing oppression. But the next moment, they weaponize a serious issue like pedophilia, twist words, and rally to get an innocent woman fired from Nintendo because she doesn’t share their political beliefs.

Gamergate has never been about fighting corruption. From its inception, they cared only about preserving their little boys’ club in video games. They’re as sensitive as the strawmans they make of SJWs; they fight criticism with shaming, death and rape threats. They actively hold back games as art.

And through this recent controversy, Nintendo didn’t even try to support their employee. They cared more about image than integrity. It’s a reminder that even though Nintendo makes great things and touches many lives, they’re still largely an emotionless, money-driven corporation.

So shame on Gamergate, and shame on Nintendo for firing Alison Rapp.
