     Basically, the GG hashtag death spiraled after bit because of a few forces all agreed to "ackshully it's about ethics..."

     • Addict gamers who didn't want to go too hard against the gaming industry because they were worried about their precious franchise being hurt. They wanted to focus only on journalism and never on actually fixing games, to keep from hurting the industry.

     • Milquetoast libshits who couldn't cope with the idea that the whole thing was rotten to the core going all the way back to the entire civil rights movement, and just wanted to roll it back to the point where their favorite progressives stopped saying bad things about bideogames. Keeping it constrained to games journalism kept them comfortably separate from the bigger political or societal picture. These people mostly latched onto breadtube, because breadtubers may be disgusting slobs but at least they respect bideogames too.

     • People with parasocial relationships with Jewtubers, who thought that containing the criticism to just to written media like the Kotakus of the world would allow them to continue their imaginary butt-relationship with Angry Joe or Jimmy Sterling or whoever.

     • People who COULD NOT see for the life of them that ALL journalism was that bad. They admit good journalism is necessary for functioning democracy. But couldn't admit ALL journalism was just about as bad as Polygon, because then their precious notions of democratic norms would be called into question. So they wigged out whenever anyone brought up a non-game-journalism related controversy.

     • Autists who wanted an identity to latch on to and just eventually trooned out. 'Nuff said

     (Separately, most ancaps got subverted during the whole Floydian Summer of Love, when the ancoms recruited them into their midst with anti-cop sentiment and the two became indistinguishable)

     In other words, SJW-Lite was a union of a bunch of forces who just wanted to keep the conversation constrained. Keep you from advancing in level, as it were.

     You just described what is often called an "off-ramp." Good analysis by the way.

     I don't think HO went SJW-lite like the rest. He was the one who went hard against Soygon & Armored Skeptic for the whole Candid deal after all. He got doxed, had some family drama, I think even ended up homeless for a bit, and came back as a streamer instead of a commentator. However, whenever he does get roped into being a commentator he's pretty consistent. I have more to say on the SJW-lite phenomenon though...

     @coolboymew @SNEK See, and that's a difference in two mindsets. You had the anon crowd that actually wanted to get into more than the superficial, wanted to see exactly how it got to this point, how bad it is, and who all was to blame. They found out that this took decades of pressure from various sources, starting with academia, then wormed its way into corporate America as those types started getting positions of influence. Then you had Kotaku in Action that just wanted to be mad at current thing while absolving everyone that's not current thing, whether mainstream media or game developers, of any blame, saying they're just ignorant and being fed misinformation by this small clique. That's the crowd that went SJW-lite, because in the end, they didn't want to look at the bigger picture, they were just upset that liberalism was going in a direction they didn't approve of, and once people started rejecting liberalism, they begrudgingly went back to their roots.
     
     Some other old Autism War vets like @TheQuQu and @ChristiJunior could probably add a lot to this.

     @mrsaturday @SNEK I don't understand that either because Orange Man is basically 80% the elite, elite MSM and co telling their pawns to be outraged
     
     You'd have to be entirely retarded to have jumped into GG, got to be an anti-SJW and then jumped on the extreme anti-Orange Man wagon. Then again, this happened a lot somehow

     @mrsaturday @SNEK @TheQuQu @coolboymew KotakuInAction got straight up hijacked by SJWs, they had openly SJW Mods, banned anti-SJW threads, their old Hatman became friends with "Brianna Wu"/John Flynt, and it eventually ended up blacklisting Breitbart (the outlet that more than any had supported us) over non-gaming articles that KiA leftists didn't like.
