Dude, just go to some actual GG hangouts, and see the vibe for yourself. You're going to get the wrong idea, on one or two big news stories.
For one, GG keeps getting referred to as "right wing". And while there are some major players who are right wing (Milo, Jim), there are those who are on the left (Sargon, TotalBiscuit and pretty much ALL the Europeans). Actually, there have been some surveys, and there are more people on the left, than the right, in GG.
I'm on the left, for example.
Also, if you can actually say that GG has harassed, or done more damage than all the radical SJWs out there....you are either not paying attention, or are turning a blind eye.
It only seems that people think things are "getting out of hand", or whatever, when some SJWs lose a job, or has bad sales. Everyone else are just shitlords, an got what was coming to them, I guess.

Like I said, had this inclusive diversity occurred prior to Gamergate, there would be no backlash.
The problem is the social justice/third wave feminist movement is now officially toxic. People hate it and everything it represents. It's doing a huge disservice to minority groups by making them the principal of white knighting that they have no vested part of. The war is being waged on YouTube - the largest possible internet battleground - and the social justice gang are getting battered from all sides. They're losing the opinion game so seriously it practically constitutes abuse in itself.
This is true. And it's sad too. Because now, everytime something like that is introduced in a game, or a comic, or a movie, you're just so suspicious of what the reasons were.
When I would read something like Sandman: A Game of You, or Enigma, back in the day...I thought the writers were tackling stuff about homosexuality, and transgenderism, for story purposes. Also, we hadn't heard about it 24/7, so it was interesting.
Now, I just see a bunch of writers virtue signaling (whether they are or not).
However, with Milo being such a big hero to GG, and to so many anti-SJWs...I guess that doesn't mean that it makes them hate actual gay people. Just the politics getting shoehorned in, awkwardly, all the time.
Like making Iceman gay.
