    The idea that there was a grand conspiracy against men, and that it started in the gaming industry.

    But that wasn’t a claim of gamergate. There were a lot of “points” of it, but no one said there was a coordinated conspiracy against men, it was somewhat related to the MRA movement that was growing at the time. But MRAs also weren’t claiming it was a coordinated conspiracy against men.

    Here in Poway, we had someone shoot up our synagogue as a result of this movement. It’s a dangerous rabbit hole.

    People have committed terrorist acts because of a lot of things, there are christian, muslim, terrorists. So that invalidate those religions? There are socialist terrorists, does that invalidate socialism? No “key actors” in gamergate encouraged murder.
