It’s really hard to imagine something dumber than “Gamergate 2.0.” I sincerely hope it’s all 12 year-old trolls and there’s no grown adults with jobs and responsibilities getting all in a tizzy over the race or gender of a fucking video game character.
You'd be surprised or disappointed to know that there are infact, mid-20 and 30+ year olds who even get themselves tied up in a knot over this shit. So I don't think it's really an age thing, more like, a matter of these people not living fruitful lives and have nothing better to do than orchestrate and manufacture imaginary problems to give themselves purpose.
