First of all, I will start out in my first diary by stating I am known by the term gamer, a person who has video games as one part of their social lives. I will also have you know that i didn’t look into politics at the slightest until around the last year or two. I feel I have came into understanding politics a little late for my age but regardless it seems liked I picked quite a time to do so since its all now a matter of choosing a serious, qualified person for president or an outright selfish, narcissistic, loudmouthed asshole for dictator.

Now that that’s settled, let’s get to what to what I feel needs to be talked about a bit. It all relates to this one tweet:

I only played the silent observer when the whole Gamergate matter first emerged because, in my honest opinion, rather then seeing as two sides fighting for their intended messages, I felt there were extreme parties from both sides within wanting dominating conditions over the other that derided these intended messages.

What was Gamergate’s intended message anyway before the Alt-Right took over and derided it? Well it was to speak out against the unethical standards with the journalism over the gaming culture and industry. Some, in response to the tweet, have in fact have spoken about the intended message of Gamergate and claimed the base group were never Alt-Right and rather the opposite. If that’s the case then that leads to this next question: Why did they let the Alt-right take over and twist their message to use for their own spiteful purposes rather than fight to claim it back?! I believe the answer to be that they didn’t have enough conviction to fight for that belief in the first place.
