I don't see how the 4th one strictly relates to misogyny. Gaming journalism is pretty awful whether you hate women or not.
It was basically a trojan horse to introduce misogyny in gamers discourse. Read about "gamergate". You can also look up how it "inspired" Breitbart/Steve Bannon, and in turn, the "alt right" as a whole.
But yeah it's a shame that the discourse actually centered around ethics in games journalism was hijacked and basically killed by this shit. I certainly don't enjoy seeing the Doritos pope and his marketing empire being the de facto frontman of my entire industry
It's a reference to the "gamergate" controversy from like...2015? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamergate_(harassment_campaign)
That's how you create a narrative. You find a reasonable and well known problem, build an argument with with mostly true ideas, then blame it all on some group that isn't your target audience. Carefully omit anything that doesn't fit the it.
I don't need to blame women for that Polygon Doom play footage or that Cuphead play footage.
My home coffe is lit though, not gonna lie. I've got other important things to waste my money on, like anime figures.
Feel like if we're getting this specific, we'll need four squadrons of horse to cover all our bases.
But yeah.
I would have Chosen butwhataboutism, JAQing off, appeal to hypocrisy, and sealioning.
