MODERATORS
It would be like asking the KKK to support the Black Panthers in protesting gun control in California. It goes against their whole ideology fueling their organizing praxis. No tactical advantage can sway them.
Remember that Gamergaters only relate to each other by their Gamergate identity. It's the basis of why they relate to one another. To cede ground to feminists (however they see that) is literally a deconstruction of that identity, and through that deconstruction an erosion of their group cohesion. Who are they in that space if they aren't Gamergaters? Why associate with one another if they aren't Gamergaters? The reflexive extremism is itself a signal of their adhesion of group identity despite the (apparent) tactical advantage.
