"Tactics". Not debate. Not evidence. Not facts. "Tactics".

Narrative and agenda versus reality. Astounding.

Also this:

"Convenient erasure of Gamergate's many female, LGBTQ, and minority members, however wrong they may be."

^That's as self-defeating a statement as I've ever seen.

The OP in the image suggests rational thought, and a willingness to concede that "things aren't working" – yet still props up the narrative. If that alone is not evidence that this agenda-driven politics versus reality, facts, and evidence then I don't know what is.
