Part of the GamerGate tactics were to make sockpuppet accounts and claim to be women and POC women who would cry valiantly that gamer guys were all gentlemen and saints and they, as totally real life women, had never been treated with anything but respect and tenderness. The very idea of the 'evil neckbeard gamer' was in fact a lie entirely invented by evil feminazis out to destroy gamer culture and bully them into submission.

Strangely, even with plenty of screencaps of big GG players bragging about their sockpuppets, some people believed them to be real women who knew the truth. And so that comic was one of the many standing up for those poor poor sockpuppets.

Are you talking about twitter or tumblr? Because I followed a ton of people on tumblr who only started being anti-GG when it started coming up; if they were socks, they'd have to be psychic sockpuppets.

Oh yeah, I knew about those GG tactics. From everything I saw, they were disingenuous little trolls. I used to be a member of a site that had a post showing that a lot of those Twitter accounts actually used stock photos for their icons. So brave, so radical.

What really baffles me is, if they did... SO WHAT? Just because you have a certain identity label doesn't mean you can't be WRONG. Sure, there are probably some women who were treated wonderfully by the gamers around them... but that doesn't magically erase the women who were treated BADLY.

I don't know why I'm trying to make sense of this when obviously there is no sense to be had.

That comic pre-dates Gamergate, iirc.

But what people like you fail to see is that it's not black and white. Keep pretending that all the shit going on in anti-GG circles is 100 % just evil GGers with sockpuppets and that all anti-GGers are little saints that can do no wrong and you are just as delusional as the GGers who seriously believe GG is only about the valiant affort to call out lacking integrity in gaming journalism. Both sides have equal amounts of vicious assholes.

And as the other anon said: This comic has nothing at all to do with GG.
