Yeah, it's the elephant in the room people REFUSE to acknowlidge despite being it a dark stain in a franchise's otherwise seemingly perfect track record, especially when Inafune came out as a con man and it was revealed there were SO MANY SHITLORDS in a seemingly harmless fandom.
It's why I constantly remind people as to why everything is so shit now: GamerGate helped a ghoul get elected not once, but twice.
And it's not just the Mighty No.9 fourms either, every Mega Man fan fourm I've BEEN in were in a state of "stand down and stand by!" during GamerGate. Ghouls.
