    This is 99% of reactionaries and their politics. They will correctly identify a problem, but then turn around and blame it on a scapegoat. They do this because they can see the system isn’t working, but they don’t want the system to change, so they have to come up with another explanation for why it’s not working.

      The one time I dared to visit /r/KotakuInAction years after freeze-gamergate, it was to see what the cryptofascist spin was regarding all the sex pestery and creepy shit happening in Blizzard offices.

      Their take?

      “This is because of soy beta numales. They can’t conquer feeemales the traditional way so they have to do it in a roundabout way while promoting wokeness. Real alpha men Just Want To Make Good Games (yes, they capitalized it like that) and already have a tradwife helpmeet so they don’t need distractions at work.” galaxy-brain

      The implication was also that having feeemales in the office at all was an invitation for sex pestery. up-yours-woke-moralists
