Many observers have connected GamerGate to larger problems of misogyny in the tech industry of Silicon Valley.[1]
Adrienne Massanari writes in New Media & Society that the architecture of Reddit in particular enables a "toxic technoculture" that encourages anti-feminist and misogynistic activism.[2][3]
Aftermath
The women targeted by Gamergate have continued to be attacked in right-wing media and men's-rights websites, and have been forced to limit their public appearances and social-media activity.[4]
Gamergate became a notable cultural component of the so-called alt-right in the 2016 American presidential election.[5][6][7][8]
As of 2018, "Not only are Gamergate supporters still active, but its most visible advocates seem to be thriving in the age of President Trump."[9]
"The methods deployed in this ground-zero Gamergate event have since become standard practice for internet mobs wishing to attack seemingly anyone they believe to be a foe."[10]
