Gamergate

GamerGate and its descendants were and are everything that reactionaries claim "cancel culture" is.

Unlike GamerGate and its descendants, "cancel culture" has never led to someone being bludgeoned half to death with a hammer.

The term "freeze peach" originated in the context of GamerGate, a crusade by certain toxic male gamers against the increasing visibility of women in the gaming world.

Recent studies indicate that queenless societies can have either one or several gamergates per colony, which reveals that reproductive inhibition can occur despite the absence of the queen caste.

Those who experienced the harassment firsthand warned that if not taken seriously, the behaviors underlying Gamergate would fester.
