The vanguard investigative reporting by Eron Gonji led to the official founding of the counter-cultural movement known as GamerGate. The official narrative of GamerGate credits Eron Gjoni for spearheading the movement. Yet, there has always been a pulse of feminist resistance in video games before 2014. I remember one article by the distinguished "redpiller1985"; a Nome-De-Guerre who would write articles about transsexualism and video games being ruined by feminists in 2013.
It's time to give credit to redpiller1985.
Here is his prophetic article on video games:

Some choice quotes:
They would rather screech about a game not including a strong female role model than actually make a video game with a strong female role model. A female Youtuber named Anita Sarkeesian used this premise to rally for more feminist narratives. A normal alpha would use Kickstarter to make a high budget game that appeals to them. Anita instead spent time begging on Kickstarter and used it to raise over $150,000 dollars to make snarky videos on an iMac. Females always want to be inclusive without putting in the work themselves.
Women and beta males have made video game journalism an entry point for dilettantes with humanity majors. Most major publications like Kotaku, Gawker, IGN, and Gamespot rather complain about how “sexist” GTA is; than write actual meaningful game content. Video game publications have turned into tabloids with female writers at the helm... You’ll never have a Louis Theroux in the video game industry because women who work in the industry would bitch about inquisitive questions. They would rather write about some dumb ass model dressed up as a video-game character than something substantive.
