GamerGate Part 4: Taking My Dawgs to the Groomer
Sophia continues the story of how GamerGate set the stage for a lot of modern events, including the Groomer Panic, where people blamed the existence of queer youth on queer adults. The group talks about how this was spread largely by people like Chaya Raichik, who used her Twitter page, Libs of Tiktok, to spread mass panic across the conservative media ecosystem, and thereby people all over the world that share the ideology.
