I got the impression that it was mostly about nepotism in "lolgamejournalism" at the beginning, before other things started muddying up the waters and I stopped paying any attention to it whatsoever.

Both sides that were "deep in the digital trenches" standing defiantly opposed to the other seemed to be quite insufferable and seemed to have reached the point where they had their golden narrative, that was what was happening, and nothing else could possibly be true.

But I did stop paying attention to it around the time that british Youtube game dude everyone loves got involved or made a statement or whatever the fuck he did.

If only. Opportunistic fuckin' culture vultures.
