Gamergate 1.5 Mar 20, 2024

Show notes

Per request from, and with the support of our Discord members, we chat about the ongoing Sweet Baby Inc Detected drama. The crew and some of our listeners spent a few weeks in the new Gamergate Discord and Caleb relays his experiences. We then read from a few articles, weigh in on Elon and LoTT's participation before asking: does this all have the juice to become a full-fledged Gamergate 2?
