It's interesting to see how well a polemic like this ages. Like, hey: I'm not an idiot, I'm clearly anti-Trump and anti-Gamergate and anti-alt-right.
But, you know, in 2017 it apparently made sense to use Jesse Singal and Briahna Joy Gray as talking heads to unpack these phenomena.
A few years on, what really jumps out at the viewer is: wow, the people who saw themselves as having something essential to say on the subject- the above, alongside alt-reicht trolls like Cernovich and Spencer and Wintrich- have so much in common. They are all such shallow thinkers. They are all such narcissists. They are all so undeserving of our collective attention.
Just imagine how great our world could be if we could ignore these people forever.
