Interesting. I was there at the beginning, too, and like you I followed it in detail. My view is that, from the beginning, Quinn's supporters turned it into an anti-(stereotypical)gamer culture war.
The GameJournosPro mailing list and multiple articles with nearly identical spin coming out on the same day are pretty good evidence of collusion.
I strongly encourage anyone still interested in the topic to watch some of Christina Hoff Sommers videos about it. She demonstrates that it is possible to discuss the actual issues without demonizing one's opponents.
- Dirlewanger 8y agoPeople see what they want to see unfortunately. I guarantee that if you ask the majority of the people here what the BlackLivesMatter movement is, they'll bring up the peaceful protests and activism of the black community and not the riots and widespread arson that also occurred. Same thing here: they'll focus on the small minority of people that personally attacked Quinn et al instead of the larger issue of a corrupt industry.

The only results claiming BLM-related arsons and riots are online zines known to be fronts for white nationalist movements. Edit: As a followup, a number of white supremacists set fires and framed the BLM for those fires, but were subsequently caught and are in various stages of the criminal justice process.
