      Well, the very first place I noticed it was about 10 years ago on the Gamer gate article. Called it a harassment campaign when it was really a married game dev fucking journalists for good coverage. We always knew gaming journalism was corrupt, but it was nice to have proof. Also sucks for the husband who got cheated on. Next day, about 14 separate sites all come with the headline “Gamers are dead”. Since then, either by confirmation bias or reality, I’ve been noticing a lot of bias in Wikipedia articles.

          I mean when someone comes in with a bullhorn and says “I support gamergate” it’s kind of nice to know you can block them now without having to get in an argument or stressing either of you out. You just know you won’t get along.
