Dear Diary

Dear Diary,

   Even though I'm pro-GamerGate; I'm seriously wondering if there's still a "battle" to be fought within the gaming-community for several reasons.

   First and foremost, the entire SJW-insanity has spread so far outside of the gaming-industry at this point, it's everywhere, and by these GGers thinking that some sort of victory within *just* the gaming-community will make it ALL go away, they're just fooling themselves.

   Secondly, I'm a member of a few GamerGate groups, and it's almost getting painful even trying to be involved anymore.  Between members bickering back and forth over all the many semantics of "what is" and "what isn't" GamerGate.  Which is stupid as hell, considering GamerGate is many things to many different people.  To some it's about combating corruption in gaming-media, to others it's about combating corruption in all media, to some it's about combating corruption in the games-industry, to some it's full on anti-SJW, to some it's pure anti-feminism (which boggles me, since I'm perfectly fine with traditional-feminism), to some it's all about preserving the video-game industry and resetting it to what it once was, etc.  (The narrative pushed by the liberal-media that it's just a hate-group about hating women and minorities and that they're worse than ISIS, is all a load of BS!)

   Anywho; the biggest irony is, I used to dodge politics like the plague.  Up until a year or so ago, I used to always have to look up the meaning of liberal, conservative, democrat, republican, authoritarian, libertarian, etc... just to remind myself what each one represents.  It was GamerGate that sucked me into politics, the more people posted in GamerGate groups about the elections, etc, etc.  The more they kept going on about the left and the right and what GamerGate was supposed to be in comparison, and all this other craziness.  Well, irony went full-circle, when I was finally sucked into the politics, and then upon sharing a bunch of mind-blowing dirt on Hillary Clinton, the hopeful queen-SJW that looks to run the entire country, as well as be power of the free-world herself, had a decent amount of backlash from people again trying to do the same old horse-crap about "what is" and "what isn't" GamerGate... and SUDDENLY it mattered that it wasn't a) about games-journalism and b) wasn't about video games.  Ummm, okay, when saying what a goalpost shifting it was, the same old tired, "oh we point this out on all non-GG related posts" BS came up.

   Since then, I've gone quiet within GG, just watching from the sidelines... for the past week or so.  In that time have seen AT LEAST 10-20 posts/mentions that had ZERO to do with GamerGate, a lot of stuff even farther off the mark than anything I was posting!  Posts about why guns are awesome, and why we all need to hang on to our guns, etc, etc... which hey, to each their own... but gun topics are much farther from GamerGate than who's going to be running this damn country.

   Further, got the tired nonsense about, "not everybody lives in the US", well no kidding... but when the hell does that stop any of these people in other countries, lecturing me about this, from flooding my newsfeed and the group with BREXIT posts... I would have had ZERO clue what Brexit even was if not for the GG groups I was in.  Sure it's all over the news now, but I was hearing about it and reading about it when it was fresh and brand spanking new!!!

   Another thing I've noticed about these groups, is it seems to be a bunch of people sitting around sharing articles back and forth, yapping a lot, and doing the same old tired routine that's seen in the whole "trending" and "hash-tag" craze.  It's supposedly "raising awareness".  Translation for "raising awareness"... putting a flag on a mess, and waiting for everybody else to clean up the damn mess that WHOEVER stumbled upon.

(People can preach all they want to of the benefits of hash-tags... and I will admit, that tags in general for sorting, for easy finding, etc, is great... but the "raise awareness" fails on two fronts.  The genuine ones that truly raise positive awareness are the EXCEPTION... the two fronts it fails on is a) it's either raising awareness to a mess somebody sees and does NOTHING about THEMSELVES, and/or it's raising awareness of made-up gossip, hoax, BS, urban-legend information that only makes people dumber to spread the kool-aid!  b) Hash-tags, as much as so many want to deny it, are typically used to do the anonymous two-face talk... people see someone with a wardrobe that is "just so no", they snap a stealth-pic, post it online and hash-tag it #"WardrobeSoNo" or see somebody that has an issue with Rosacea, again, sneak a stealth-pic and tend to hash-tag #"AttackOfKillerZits" or #"ClearisilWorksBrah" or even #"TrySomeSoapForOnce", etc.)

   Anywho, reason I'm ranting now, is again the whole, "what's this have to do with GG"... one thing I've been seeing in a good number of these groups, is people sharing tweets that are WAY old, as in, no longer even relevant, to stir and stoke the flames of the fire, and keep nonsense relevant and act like it's brand new.  And I'm thinking, "okay, so, posting about the elections is a no... but Brexit and year or more old tweets and acting like they're recent is a-okay!?  WTF!?!?!?"  Which boggles my brain, because I know I'm a bit nuts, but the more I see of the internet, the more I feel like I'm the sanest person in the freaking nuthouse!

   Today's date is June 26th, 2016 right?  I kid you not, somebody just posted in a GG group I'm in, "3hrs" ago, screen-caps of a fairly known/famous SJW/feminazi, that only says on it "Oct 11".  Okay, so, even if that's of 2015, that's AT LEAST *eight months* old... yet they're highlighting it, and people are posting on it, and analyzing it like it's current-event talking-point stuff!  Like wait... have we TRULY run out of issues/topics so badly that we're actually REHASHING old stuff, and trying to make it currently relevant!?  WTH!?!?  I mean, I'm seriously reading the comments this is getting, and people are commenting on it, like it's BRAND SPANKING NEW and actually GETTING FIRED UP over this!  WHAT!? *facepalm*

   For ages I wanted to believe that the SJW/aGG/kool-aid/feminazi crowd were the slightly not-so-bright and fairly ignorant group... but the more I see of the groups I'm in... I dunno, it's like I don't want to be part of THOSE groups, but I still want to represent and stand for pro-GG.  Part of me wishes there could be some break-off or some other fork/branch of pro-GG so I don't have to feel like I'm standing among a bunch of drooling morons.  One thing this day and age has PROVEN TO BE DEAD ON THE MONEY... is any group becomes measured and weighed by their lowest common denominators... and let me tell you, in the groups I've been in, there's quite a few lowest common denominators... and I so want to merge my head with a brick-wall at the thought of people hearing the term "GamerGate" or seeing/hearing that I'm pro-GamerGate, and having to assume that I'm at the same mental level (or lack thereof) in comparison to a good number of these people.  Like WTF!?

  The pro-GG groups laugh when insanely stupid nonsense is spouted by the SJW/feminazi/kool-aid/aGG types, and drone on about, "you sure you want this kind of stupidity representing you"... and sometimes I want to scream at them to look in the mirror... like, "do we really want a good number of you morons representing the rest of us!?!?!?".

   I'm still searching and scouring around for decent "mature"/"adult"/"decent-IQed"/"relevant" pro-GG groups to have discussions where I don't feel my brain actually hurting as my IQ deflate at every other thing I see, especially since I don't really do Twitter nor Reddit... coming up fairly dry, but holding out hope that one day I might find other kindred-spirits like myself that got tired of hanging with the drooling dorks that can't tell last October from the upcoming Tuesday. *facedesk* >_<

   EDIT: Oh look at that, as of a posting from "22hrs" ago, another reposted tweet, this time with an actual year on it, "31 Oct 2014", and everybody's sitting around, talking about it, commenting, making "clever" statements and one-liners while patting themselves on the back for being Masters of the Universe, and losing their collective brains over it (even though the tweet was a bit extreme and mind-blowing to be fair), as though it's current and in someway believe that by circle-jerking the same stuff from almost two years ago, over and over and over again, they're some how making decent change in some odd fashion or way. *rubs head*  Can the world please go back to sanity for just one week, pretty !@#!ing please with sugar on top!?  (And this is coming from somebody that wouldn't hesitate to point out their own insane lack of sanity.)
