    If you want my honest opinion, gamer gate. it hit at just the right time for a lot of genz boys to be really into gaming at the time and to be dumb enough to just listen to what the people that they watched play games say and believe.

      Yeah as well as the whole of the alt right pipeline.

      Meanwhile for the women, the right was largely offering nlog shit. It was taking away rights and encouraging misogyny in the men their age. This pissed them off which pissed the men off now that they couldn’t get laid

        Tradwife content is getting really big with genz, unfortunately. I’m not sure how much longer the girls will stay liberal at this rate. The Mormon church is heavily subsidizing LDS content creators through adsense and it’s encouraging more and more of them to build a platform, and pushing their content far and wide. Once I started seeing the signs, there are so many Mormon influencers. They’re winning the cultural victory rn and it’s scary af as a progressive woman.

          when you look at the demographics who voted for trump: white women are already there and white people control the media, so that tide has likely already come in.

      I really don’t want it to be true, because it’s just such a boring, stupid little bit of corruption. There’s so much fucking corruption in our whole economy, and for them to seize on that of all things and the message they get out of it is “wow, fuck women huh?” Is just boggling.
