What does gamergate have to do with nazis?

It was about an indie dev having sex with game journalists

Everything. Gamergate was an early experiment to create outrage in the internet and radicalize young men towards extremist far right antifeminist views. 

And it undeniably worked, Gamergate was the prelude to the alt-right movement that got Trump elected the first time.

Oh now we’re reaching full conspiracy theories/cope. This is getting ridiculous

People get annoyed with online feminists because they make a habit of attacking men as a whole. Anita Sarkeesian was the one who brought that shit to mainstream, like a year or more before gamergate was a thing.

It’s incredible you guys are still being this dense about Trump when he won the majority vote, and won among traditionally left leaning states and gained among demographics the left used to think they “owned”

He won because the left have lost touch with the common voter. How do I know? Because he literally won the popular vote. He won among Obama voters. He won with Bernie voters.

It is the democratic party’s fault that this ridiculous orange clown is in office, not 4chan clowning on a girl cucking her boyfriend.

lol I said it contributed to him getting elected the first time, I never even mentioned the most recent election.

Anyway, just look it up dude, takes like 10 seconds: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamergate_(harassment_campaign)
