fascinating post that I think reveals interesting parallels between the dynamics of indie music nerds and #Gamergate, and how people who have often been betas in mainstream society (as opposed to alpha figures who are leading, creating, building, and doing) exhibit extreme territorial and aggressive behaviors within the realms that serve as their escape of choice -- be it gaming, music, sports teams, comics, etc. Makes total sense to me: when your carefully curated microcosm has been rapidly opened up and made available to anyone, you feel violated and cheapened. Its the same for the OG members of any formerly closed or underground community or niche, as mainstream new members pour in. Its also why last year will always be the year that Burning Man jumped the shark :) wonderingsound/feature/op-ed-dan-brooks-spotify-women-response/?curator=MusicREDEF
