    People still watch Sub Optimal Gaming? His content is boring and he was a literal gamergater.

      What does gamergater mean? I’m familiar with gate keeping but I don’t know that I’ve heard it like this.

        I’m glad this has dropped off the public consciousness, but they were anyone who were on the side of the neo-fascist movement started after reddit banned rJailbait. Basically the early beta of what became the alt-right. There was a LOT of social pressure to either be for gamergate otherwise you were against it, and SOG tactilely sided with them during a time when a lot of people were starting to see it for what it was.
