the most oppressed minority
Imagine my shock
Just the question, I imagine it is a joke but if so does not seem to be a good one and its very confusing, even more so considering that there is the games community as well so what's the point of this one? Why not merge the two?
Come to think of it, ignoring the misogyny, it really did nothing to alleviate the impending enshittification of gaming. Let's see where Gamergate failed. It failed at addressing ethics in game journalism. I barely see gamergaters cover the ethics problem (which is sadly real) of game journalism. I can see a few ethical problems wtih game journalism like poor quality control (especially in research) in outlets such as IGN and Kotaku, publishers' skewing coverage of games, lack of experience in video games and rampant ragebait as seen with the now infamous teabagging article. It failed to attract meaningful allies. The rampant reactionary rhetoric and beliefs in the Gamergate movement has deprived them of meaningful potential allies who themselves share many of the same criticisms of late stage gaming such as the appalling state of game journalism, the rise of live service model and its disastrous consequences. This became especially dangerous when the corporations and their puppets accelerate the ruin of gaming while principled gamers waste their time pushing back against reaction in gaming. I have yet to see folks who do critiques of late stage gaming from a left-wing perspective other than Jim Sterling and myself to some extent* *the only video I had on the subject was one about Bethesda having a union and why it's a good thing.
I am gonna look into Soviet video games, specifically ones that can run on modern systems
There's a widely held opinion in gaming that women generally suck at gamimg. My two cents is that there's simply not many women into video games due to lack of interest and the few who do get either sexist attacks or obscure enough to go unnoticed. This creates a cycle where elitism combines with existing lack of interest to scare off any potential newcomers which means there's less of an incentive to be skilled which feeds into elitism.

It's called Red Baron Corki, making reference to the WWI German fighter pilot. w h a t
I'm on Pacific time, Los Angeles but we have other comrades in different time zones. (Chicago, New Zealand, Czech republic) we have a big crew with two bases on a good server, that is sorta vanilla slightly modded. If you're new to the game or haven't played much we will take you under our wing. We have a discord and a very tight knit crew.
I run a commie DayZ crew on a popular vanilla-ish server. It is very slightly modded more close to vanilla. I am on Pacific time, SoCal but we have comrades who play with us in all types of timezones. Please join us we got a big base and plenty of loot to go around.
