Thank you for your response, Lakitha! I hadn't considered Gamergate in relation to white territoriality, but can clearly see this now thanks to your comment. Very interesting and sad how possessive white men can be over the things that please them... video games being a prime example of a medium and community created by and for cisheteosexual white men. I find the within-group pleasures that white men experience with each other to be ironically homoerotic... it's almost like they're responding to being walked-in on during a circlejerk when others attempt to come in and disrupt their pleasurable exchanges of racism and sexism... *sigh* the selfishness of white individualism in conjunction with white territoriality is such a toxic force that I hope slowly erodes as more people become aware of how to name and intervene on these types of issues.
