It's amazing how few people understand that Gamer Gate led *directly* to the alt-Right and the rise of Trump. No-one paid attention to GG because of the expectation that tech is just a sexist cesspool and can't be changed. How many white men just ignored it as a chick problem?

2/ To recap history, in case any reporters read this, Gamergate was going to be relegated to 4chan, Reddit and 8chan. It was dying down. And then Bannon decided to dump gasoline on it by hiring Milo Yianopollis to cover it daily on Brietbart, making it a right wing issue.
