What's Gamergate 2, Electric Boogaloo about?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Something something women something? But further empowered by the ease with which conservative and/or fascist nutjobs can support each other globally now.

Disclosure I identify with the movement, hence bias

Thing started off February 29 when Chris Kindred, the narrative designer at Sweet Baby Inc, a videogame consulting company, called for a mass report campaign against the steam curator group (and its owner) "Sweet Baby Inc Detected", which exist to highlight steam games in which the company has some involvement. Chris called it a harrassment group and claimed that it breaks steam's terms of service.

This got a lot of eyes on the group which balooned in membership, right wingers/ old gamergaters latched onto it and I think it's fair to say that this Sweet baby Inc detected group is the main Gamergate 2 community. As time goes on the movement isn't just campaigning against this one company, but against many similiar consultation groups (Black Girl Gamers/Gaymers for example) and the concept of ESG funding in general.

Ah okay. Only today I read a community post, of a game journalist on YouTube, which reported that this Sweet Baby Inc Detected Group reminded the twitter crowd that Zua (I believe that was the title) by a kenian developer got released. And the comments were super riled up.

All I can say is that I'm sad that those right wingers and bigost use so much of their energy against something that threatens their small and privileged worldview.

Thanks for lifting my confusion about the new Gamergate 2.
