I’m curious whether you’ve read Black Pill by Elle Reeve and if it rings true to you. I’m a little older than your cohort and was aware of Gamer Gate only peripherally, but noted how its language and tactics spread. At a certain point I remember thinking, Did Gamergate and Sad Puppies just take over the Republican Party? How the heck did that happen?
Reeve’s book and your piece really help connect the dots. Thank you.
Sneeds feed and seed or whatever. Cool article!

Sad Puppies woke some ancient memories in me…
I haven’t read Blackpill! I’ll add it to the list.
