REEEEsetera

no, it wasn't coined by gamergaters,

and i would like to see proof of that 99% thing

nope, it got the negative connotation way before gamergate.

and the boyfriend didn't use 4chan. people on 4chan found his post on wordpress in which he talked about how SHE emotionally abused HIM.

as one put it ;"If Eron was a girl and exposed such abuse, he would be celebrated as a brave women and everyone would condemn his evil partner"

and still waiting for proof of the 99% thing

i did. your own source debunks your earlier statement

"the year 2011 seemed to be a turning point"

technically, there was no review as far as i know, but definitely positive coverage and exposure

how many times i have to explain?

according to your OWN source, it became a negative term around 2011, so your earlier statement that ggers coined it as a pejorative makes no sense, unless they got some kind of time machine.

that's exactly what i'm referring to!

"to invent a new word or expression, or to use one in a particular way for the first time"

invent? no. use one in a particular way for the first time? also no

if it was started to be used in a negative way around 2011, how can gg be the one to coin it if gg emerged in 2014?

because YOU said that they coined it. i merely pointed out that you're mistaken. if you had said that they "popularized" it, you wouldn't have heard a peep from me on that issue

then don't make molehills in the first place

apparently the poster misrepresents what popper actually meant
