I find it somewhat amusing that these GG idiots are supporting people like Jack Thompson, who actually want to take their games away entirely rather than simply making them more inclusive. The level of cognitive dissonance within this group is insane when it comes to all the criminal activity, harassment, and threats that have been going on over the past few weeks. What "moderate" person would even go near them? I'm surprised this group hasn't yet imploded out of utter stupidity.
