As the kids like to say these days: “I’m tired, boss.“ We’re all really fucking tired at this point. The last decade has felt like 25 - 30 years of continual warfare, at least mentally / emotionally. It’s hard to even distinguish satire from weird forms of trolling in this era of online bullshit.
I guess I should feel lucky I only noticed this BS from around Gamergate time, which amazingly is only 10 Years or so ago. I just hope My kids have a better time finding joy in this hellscape.
Gamergate feels like 15-20 years ago in my mental map. I still remember being utterly confused by the whole thing, especially why so many people were acting like something that was clearly a misogynist meltdown by a bunch of maladjusted assholes was some sort of legitimate movement!
