    Craig’s Psych analysis on Alyssa is wrong, the reason for the way she is I’m confident is because she was raised very well, probably had wealthy parents, had her college tuition covered & while there was trained to think & operate as an activist, she was never told no growing up. Alyssa is just a very spoiled & entitled person & I’m sure because no one ever told her no, in her mind she believes everything she says & does is what’s right.

    The problem with Video game bloggers is two-fold (maybe even three-fold).
    1. Is a problem that was at the center of GamerGate 1.0: Friends in the industry (and other types of relationships), but also the need for access.They have to retain certain kinds of relationships in order to get their early/review copies. They also sometimes get free gifts and flown out to events and parties, which they also don't want to lose.
    2. Is as Arch said. The problem is activism and a sense of superiority.
    3. Is money. Their sites run ads. If they write inflammatory articles, they can bait people into reading them, which earns the site money. This is made worse since they can make money directly by making inflammatory tweets that bait people into responding.
    All three of these are true all the time. Maybe not always to the same degrees, but always true nonetheless.

  • @SANIDAD151
    @SANIDAD151 Місяць тому +17

    Saying these people are the way they are is because they went through something bad in their life is not accurate in my opinion. Many people experience horrible things in their lives and do not act like THESE people. They are making the conscious choice to be the way they are. Do and say the things that they do. You have a choice in being who you want to be. They can believe what they want but they have a choice in how they want to behave. Contacting someone's spouse to attack their marriage because they are angered by what the person said is a choice. Simple as that with the exception of mental derangement or defect.

    • @lliamthrumble
      @lliamthrumble Місяць тому +7

      I would go even further. These people act this way precisely because they have never had anything truly horrible happen to them. They act like 30 something year old kindergarten kids and its probably because they haven't been bullied enough as kids.
