<onlyinclude>[[Projects:Operation Firefly|'''Operation Firefly''']] is a project focused on spreading GamerGate information to [[Tumblr]] arising out of the realization that posts on the [[GamerGate]] tag were overwhelmingly negative and labeling it as a sexist movement. The goal is to expand pro-GamerGate messages outside of twitter, [[8chan]], and other established GamerGate hubs in order to reach people who otherwise would not hear our side.</onlyinclude>

Operation Firefly was started in early November 2014 as a D-Day style effort to break the stalemate that was bogging down the Twitter "front" at the time by invading and establishing a "beachhead" on Tumblr. Many felt that Twitter's perceived shortcomings, including its 140 character limit and focus on e-celebs, were sidetracking GamerGate and causing it to lose momentum. Operation Firefly was conceived of as a way to more effectively use GamerGate's limited resources and to break GamerGate's dependence on Twitter by opening a new "front" on Tumblr. Tumblr's lack of a character limit and reblog culture were seen as valuable resources that GamerGate should take advantage of, and the potential to create a sustainable GamerGate network on Tumblr that would disseminate unbiased information to the (notably anti-GG) Tumblr userbase was seen as one of the best ways for the movement to regain momentum and to break the "hugbox" effect of Twitter (the tendency to post within the hashtag rather than attempting to disseminate information outside of the tag).

THE GRAND DAD EMPIRE ARE a prolific VINESAUCE-centric MEME group based in BEDROCK CITY. Their largest periods of activity seemed to be around the time SILVAGUNNER was terminated, when they were hosting several unofficial VINESAUCE gaming events (which they assure you repeatedly are not official Tournaments and are in no way affiliated with JOEL).

They operated out of the SilvaGunner YouTube channel until it was terminated in 2014, after which they appear to have transitioned briefly to GiivaSunner in September of 2016 before returning to SilvaGunner in June of 2018.

CHANNELS

The original forums appeared to function as four services: preparation and communication in service of coming events, discussion about new HIGH-QUALITY RIPS, MEME showcase, and general VINESAUCE or unrelated discussion.

EVENTS

The VINESAUCE MEME events that The GRAND DAD EMPIRE held were known for being diverse and involved, due in large part to their incredibly strong YTP scene. These events would involve VINESAUCE-branded fan-made HIGH-QUALITY RIPS for SONGS that wouldn't exist for nearly a decade, and some that still don't! They also hosted some of the first KING FOR ANOTHER DAY tournaments, with fan HIGH-QUALITY RIPS.

In later years, an event known as GRAND FEST was hosting PREMIERES for GRAND DAD Fantasy, KING FOR ANOTHER DAY, GRANDmachine, HE THICC 69, and MEME Wars, as of 2019.

HIGH-QUALITY RIPS and MEMES

Some HIGH-QUALITY RIPS appear to have seen releases or updates in 5th and 6th edition. Note that The GRAND DAD EMPIRE seem to have been most active between 2012 and 2019.

  • GRAND DAD 2: SPASTIC BOOGALOO
  • GRAND DAD 3: THE GAUNTLET OF ASS (FEATURING SMOL NOZOMI, TITO DICKMAN, SPONGE, HE THICC, and SANS UNDERTALE)
  • GRAND DAD 4: GRAND DAD IS GOD
  • GRAND DAD 5: DEATH TO 1D4CHAN
  • GRAND DAD 6: GAYMERGAYTE RISING

GRAND DAD IS LOVE GRAND DAD IS LIFE GRAND DAD WILL CONQUER THIS WIKI FOR MEMES FOR VINESAUCE AND FOR SILVAGUNNER
