MODERATORS
8chan and 4chan were instrumental in creating the disease that is gamergate and the subsequent online shitheaps it produced. Including but not limited to Trump's term.
What about Reddit
Reddit has always been democratic. Theres some offshoot subreddits that are a cesspool for republicans. But they isolate themselves.
Jesus. Fucking. Wept.
gamergate was a meaningless troll movement. To imply that they got trump elected is moronic.
It was a watershed moment for the alt-right's propaganda machine. It's defined fascist recruiting tactics ever since and it absolutely played a role in Trump's election. Gamergate was a dramatic shift of the status quo, as ridiculous as it was, to diminish it's role in shaping the last few years is just ignorant
