Line 58:
** ''Explanation'': A term given to a recurring tendency in the media to mention GG and anyone/anything associated with it, even when it's either uncalled for or otherwise irrelevant to what's actually being discussed.
* MarvelGate (or #ComicsGate, #MakeMarvelGreatAgain, #MakeMineMeme)
** ''Explanation'': Storm in the Twitter teacup (the original hashtag is #MakeMineMilkshake) during July-August 2017, started as a faux controversy with the victim cards held by some SJW employees of [[Marvel Comics]] (see also: "[Unsolicited Opinions on Israel???]" above). It quickly turned into an obvious imitation of Gamergate, except more pathetic - a crusade against straw dolls of abstract "trolls", "haters", "bullies" and "misogynists", but no specific archenemies save for a glaring disdain against their erstwhile audiences. Though similarly to GG, it's sparked long-seething outrage among comic fans that continues to escalate.
* "Comic nerds are DEAD!!"
** ''Explanation'': Copycat of the "Gamers are Dead" meme for the copycat of Gamergate (see above) happening in Western Comics.
* Pigeon/Hatoful Takahashi
** ''Explanation'': A mocking reference to journalist Dean Takahashi of Venture Beat, particularly in the wake of his [[Epic Fail|infamously inept]] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=848Y1Uu5Htk preview gameplay] of ''Cuphead'' in September 2017. The pigeon and ''[[Hatoful Boyfriend]]'' nods in particular are due largely to [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOjXaAZHEQE footage] comparing his efforts to finish the tutorial section with a pigeon intelligence test...with said pigeon ''solving the problem faster.''
