it's just another example of how backwards, hypocritical, and juvenile GG is as a movement. Any actual issues are not addressed, there is only reactionary nonsense and outright hate.

You could say that of any movement. There are the people that are just in any movement for "victories" against "the enemy" and then there are decent people engaged with making positive change.

You just paint them all with the same brush because they happen to be an out-group for you.

But would you have bothered to give ARYT a response if they weren't (most likely) an out-group for you?

I'm more likely to give that response to an in-group in defense of an out-group I don't belong to.

It's more effective at challenging out-group bias IMO, to point out to *your* own group that all groups are diverse and made of many types of people. Because if you defend your own in-group as diverse "we're not all like that" to an out-group you just get scoffed at.

Sometimes people in your own group will listen to you call out out-group bias. People that view you as "enemy" are much less likely to be open to that dialogue coming from their "enemy".

For better or worse, feminists created what Gamergate is today. They pointed out all the assholes in the movement, so the moderates got embarrassed to be a part of it and left. The only folks still involved at this point are the ones too stubborn and self-righteous to give in.

I haven't noticed a big change in Gamergate demographics tbh, but I don't pay all that much attention to it.

They pointed out all the assholes in the movement, so the moderates got embarrassed to be a part of it and left.

I somehow doubt this. Gamergate pointed out assholes in the anti-GG movement, like Sarah Nyberg being a pedophile, among other things, and people haven't abandoned being anti-GG as a result. Why would psychology be different for Gamergaters than for anti-GGers?

"there are assholes in this movement" doesn't bother most people, because they're a member of the in-group, and thus view the in-group as diverse (i.e "of course there are some assholes in our movement!"). It's generally out-groupers that see a few assholes in a group, and generalize that to the whole group and develop disgust for it. Not in-groupers.
