* Hollywood got its start because numerous filmmakers moved there in an effort to avoid Thomas Edison's iron grip on film patents and his licensing fees. The MPAA was formed as an effort to push back against government censorship. Nowadays, it's the big movie business that's pushing to strengthen intellectual property enforcement and censorship with proposals such as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOPA SOPA] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACTA ACTA]. |

* William "Billy D" Usher created the ''One Angry Gamer'' website to fight back against the rampant and blatant left-wing political activism that he felt had taken over the gaming news media. When gaming journalism apparently moved to a more centrist position, he then started grasping at the tiniest of straws in order to stay relevant. He eventually reached the point of ''manufacturing'' controversies and essentially becoming a terrible ''right''-wing activist who wrote primarily angry political rants punctuated with only the occasional decent gaming news article once in a blue moon. |
