Why GAMR is a fucking horrible idea.

By: An asshole on the internet

So I've seen this floating out there and apparently the idea was pitched by someone who doesn't like Gamergate to begin with.  Now looking at their twitter you'll pick up on that a bit but apparently their blog is a sight to behold as well.  In the first place why is it that anyone would even entertain this idea knowing that the person behind the suggestion hates what they are trying to accomplish? It makes no sense and is beyond me but let's play it out and see where it leads anyway.

So gamers get together and establish a consumer group called GAMR.  Well here is the first problem, Google that term.  Nothing like having to fight older, more valid forms of the phrase on search engines right out of the gate.  Enjoy people looking at you quizzically when you tell them to look up the info online and all they get are stock tips.  But for the sake of argument let's say that isn't an issue for you.  Ok.  So you create this group and you use it to "sort out the crazies and create a list of demands."  Now ask yourself what is the one thing SJWs do best?  Come on now you should know this by now?  It's the one thing they always fucking do.

That's right, they co-opt.  It doesn't matter what the group is, they will eventually slither their way in to it and shit it up and believe me when I tell you that is the plan with this pile of crap called GAMR.  Creating a group run on this approach is just begging to have it highjacked and used as a mouthpiece for the idiots you are fighting against.  They'll get inside it, throw out those that genuinely have been supporting Gamergate and then establish a false face and start focusing on shit like "ending the harassment."  Now you may think that sounds all well and good but it's black PR.  They get in to the group and create that message and that message then tells the general public that "Wow, those Gamergaters must really be mean people if the group they set up has to make that a priority, let's just ignore this."

Stop humoring these fools by listening to their ideas about how you should do things.  They are losing.  They know it.  So they are trying their damnedest to throw monkey-wrenches into the process and slow down the train wreck happening in real time on the internet.  You have no reason to change your approach, you have no reason to listen to their suggestions.  You got to where we are today precisely because you didn't listen to them.  Don't adopt the tactics of an enemy that is losing unless you want to join them in defeat.
