   @josh brrrooother, listening to your recent discussions with tom I think you gave the young zoomer the impression that gamergate invented cancel culture. At least that seemed to be the gears turning in his head. Do you really think this is the case? As I remember, it was fairly reactionary, and was sort of spitefully borrowing tactics that had just been developed in prior scandals.

     @Basileuscomic I honestly cannot remember mass mob targeting advertisers prior to GamerGate. It may not be the first, but it was the first I remember.
     
     I'm sure there was always shit like this, but with mass media advertisers at least they were big mass media. This was just some shitty blog.

     @josh @Basileuscomic The difference was that they were contacting advertisers in order to report their criminal activities, not cry about them not supporting trannies and faggots.
