Yeah, he only came out against hate mobs when the hate mob turned its attention to him. That's not a conversion.

Gamergate was an attempted takeover of video games by SJWs. The gamers fought back - that's why they were so roundly vilified. How dare they oppose the righteous? Other areas of society taken over by the SJW plague looked on longingly at the gamers, wishing they could have done the same.

By that standard, I'm still a bad guy as well.

It's one step on the road to conversion. Even Bill Maher hasn't entirely abandoned the left yet, but it has turned on him and he will.
