I Resemble That Remark: Difference between revisions

* King George II (1683–1760) of England once assured his subjects that despite coming from the German House of Hanover, "I have not one drop of blood in my veins dat is not English."

* [[Gamergate]] began when, in response to accusations of corruption over 48 hours, over a dozen (officially) unaffiliated video game websites published editorials proclaiming some variant of "gamers are dead", without referencing or citing a source editorial. While the initial accusations were of questionable legitimacy and reach at best, the blatant lockstep and willingness to smear their target audience proved the presence of collusion beyond a shadow of a doubt in the eyes of many. It's worth noting that said collusion wasn't all that new ''or'' all that unnoticed, but had never been publicized in such a manner prior to the controversy taking off.
