It feels like the anti-sjs moved on, mostly by becoming openly fascist, while the anti-gamergaters, the sjws, the radical liberal left did not. They're still arguing against the gamergater, constantly trying to prove that oppression is real, the u.s. is evil, this or that video game or movie is actually secretely woke or misogynistic... like, look, I believe in feminism as a set of values, of course, but one effect of some of the prominent anti-sj proto- / crypto-fascists calling themselves "classical liberals" was to drive the people who were against them, who are actually liberals, to identify as more and more radically left. So many trans women on tumblr call themselves communists or marxist leninists, but they approach everything through the lense of liberal feminism. Transmisogyny is taken on in discussions about tv shows and web media, and the policing of the words one ought to use to talk about oppression (whatever that is). The People's Republic of China is defended as if it was a cartoon character whose fate depends on social media discourse, and not one of the most powerful countries on earth. And that's weird, but whatever. I mean these are just blogs, who cares. Like I'm not going to stop posting abt media, either. But the problem with liberal feminism is that it lost and is, like liberalism itself, shit at combating fascism. And the next best thing that people cling to, radical feminism, is even worse at it, because it's mostly just more extremely liberal feminism, with an identitarian, quasi-nationalistic outlook. The fact that someone like Federici calls herself a "materialist feminist" is a good indicator how cooked all of this is.
People act like whatever they believe, whatever they say, is the cause, the analysis, the theory, when it's just the effect. You have to move on. You have to leave it behind. You have to stop.
