Is the #gamergate struggle a Stalingrad for the waffen SJW's or is it the beginnings of a new Albigensian Crusade. Players in this little drama are even the same. One player a power hungry priesthood serving the Cathedral bent on a war of annihilation. The other powerless & poor seeking reform taking seriously the hypocrisy of the ruling clique's priests. Pointing out the failings of the priesthood that claims to serve a higher purpose is a sure way to get that priesthood in a killing mood.
Like many metaphors this one is funny in its comparisons Zoe Quinn equals Pierre de Castelnau and that makes Soros & Zuckerburg Pope Innocent III & Phillip II Augustus. Adam Baldwin could be our Raymond VI Count of Toulouse refusing to aid in the annihilation of people he considers his own.
Just as in the Albigensian Crusade things are starting out well for the forces of reform the Cathedral is in retreat, but they will turn on all the people of the Languedoc and the bodies will be unnumbered. I guess which ever metaphor I use will tell whether I feel optimistic about the fate of #gamergate or not.
